Summary of Request

On May 1, 1995, Sonoma County executed a Telecommunications Ground Lease with the State of California for its use of a Transmission Site known as the Oak Ridge Look Out Site located at 25555 Kelly Road, Annapolis, Sonoma County. The Lease was amended on June 25, 2008, with an expiration date of June 30, 2019, at which point Sonoma County continued its occupancy as a holdover tenant under a holdover letter agreement issued by the State dated May 6, 2019, while Sonoma County negotiates with the State for a new long term lease for premises at the Transmission Site.  

 

On November 18, 2008, Mendocino County entered into a Revocable License Agreement with Sonoma County for premises in a radio communications vault owned by Sonoma County located at the Transmission Site, with a license term expiring June 30, 2019.  Mendocino County desires to continue to operate its radio equipment from Sonoma County’s vault and utilize certain infrastructure at the Transmission Site in connection with Mendocino County’s Sheriff’s Department emergency and safety communications and related operations.

 

Consideration for Mendocino County’s use of the vault is Sonoma County’s use of Mendocino County's vault at property commonly known as the Fish Rock Radio Communications Site located at 44701 and 44801 Fish Rock Road, Mendocino County, California through a separate Revocable License Agreement between Mendocino County and Sonoma County.

 

Since Mendocino County has maintained equipment at the Oak Ridge Look Out Transmission Site, even after the expiration of the initial Revocable License Agreement, this renewal Agreement is retroactive to July 1, 2019 for continuity of operations.

Return to staff for alternative handling.
