Agenda Item Text:
Approve the Westend Radio Communications Tower Intergovernmental Agreement between Cochise County and the City of Sierra Vista for the installation and continued maintenance of a simulcast repeater on the Westend Radio Communications Tower, in the amount of $617,000, effective immediately.
Background:
The Cochise County Sheriff's Office has acquired funding through Operation Stone Garden in the amount of $617,000.00 to purchase and install upgraded 700 MHz radio communications equipment (simulcast repeater equipment) on the radio communications tower owned by the City, located at 100 North Avenue, Sierra Vista, Arizona. The Cochise County Sheriff Department deputies and Sierra Vista Police Department police officers have experienced radio coverage issues at the northwest side of Sierra Vista. This coverage area includes two critical access gates to Fort Huachuca, Arizona. The installation of this radio equipment will ensure good radio coverage for both public safety mobile and portable radios. This agreement will authorize Cochise County to install all equipment at the tower site and guarantee the County continued access to the site in the future for system maintenance and repair through the dedicated easement to the property.
This agreement has been reviewed and approved by Britt Hanson, Chief Civil Deputy, Cochise County Attorney Office.
