Agenda Item Text:
Approve State Land Lease 03-105209 for radio tower space to accommodate County microwave communications equipment in the amount of $2,400 annually for the period of October 13, 2015 through October 12, 2025.
Background:
The County has been undergoing an upgrade of it's microwave data and communications equipment. As part of this upgrade, space is needed in the Texas Canyon area to enhance coverage of the County's microwave data/communication system. This land lease will facilitate needed space on the Texas Canyon radio tower site. The microwave system upgrade is vital to County's information technology and public safety communications.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
After approval, notification will be made to County IT to proceed with their upgrades at the Texas Canyon site.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If not approved, the equipment upgrade at Texas Canyon will not be able to proceed. Without the Texas Canyon site, County IT data transfer and public safety radio communications will be compromised.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Both original signed copies should be sent to Emergency Services to be forwarded to the State. After the State signs the agreement, one original will be returned to Cochise County.
