Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve the Tower License and Use Agreement between Sequoia Farm Foundation and Cochise County to install communications equipment effective February 24, 2015 to February 24, 2040.
Background:
Cochise County has received funding to upgrade the tower sites throughout the county to improve the radio system used by various county agencies, mostly the Sheriff's Office. Part of the system upgrade is to construct a new tower on Jordan Farms in the Kansas Settlement area. This tower is being built entirely and the equipment being put on it is also being funded through private foundation dollars. This tower site will become an integral part of the communications system and will provide improved coverage for radio communications in that area. This agreement has been approved by Britt Hanson of the Cochise County Attorney's Office.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
The foundation will begin construction on the tower and when complete the equipment for the communications system will be installed.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
The tower site will not be able to be built on this property, seriously degrading the coverage of the new and upgraded radio system within the county.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Please sign three copies of agreement and return to the Sheriff's Office.
