Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

The existing lease agreement was approved by the Board June 7, 2005 as Agreement No. 05-072.  Additionally, Board approval of the FY 2019/20 budget included a Capital Improvement Project for sealing and hardening the microwave repeater sites at Sanhedrin and Spanish Mountains in the amount of $200,000, with additional funding at the First Quarter of 2021 in the amount of $200,000.                     

 

Summary of Request

The Spanish Mountain microwave repeater site is part of the County’s emergency communication system.  In 2021, the County improved the site’s resiliency through a hardening project, intended to improve functionality during natural disasters. This lease amendment extends the agreement for ten years, with an option for an additional ten-year term.  The item is retroactive due to staff implementing a standardized amendment form and updating records.
