ITEM NO. C 10 - (C
DATE 12/aG/94
®PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
The City has a Lease Agreement with 100 Citrus Ltd. for the location and operation of
City owned radio equipment from the roof of 100 N. Citrus. In return for use of the
space, the City pays only the estimated electricity charges. The Lease expired on
December 10, 1994 and this report recommends that it be extended under the same terms
and conditions for another five (5) years.
BACKGROUND:
Initially negotiated during 1980 and renewed every five (5) years thereafter, the City's
Lease Agreement with 100 Citrus Ltd., states that the City may install and operate
selected radio equipments from the roof of 100 North Citrus. The site currently contains
one (1) of our two (2) radio base stations for our Police MDT operations, remote radio
receivers on both Police, Fire, and City Yard voice channels, and a microwave link
connecting all equipments to our primary site at BKK. Overall, 100 N. Citrus provides
radio coverage of the east end of the City and, therefore, is an essential element of our
system.
In exchange for use of the space, the City pays only, on an annual basis, an amount equal
to the estimated electricity consumption costs. The current lease set the base amount of
that payment at $700 per annum, with future changes equal to the increase or decrease of
the utility company's business service rate. The payment for 1994 was $748.
As previously stated, the Lease Agreement expired on December 10, 1994 and Douglas,
Emnmet & Co., the Building Manager, has agreed to extend it, for a five (5) year period
under the existing terms and. conditions. There are sufficient monies in the
Communications Department budget to fund the expected costs for this next year.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign an Amendment to
the existing Lease Agreement with 100 Citrus Ltd., extending the Agreement for another
five (5) years.
