PARKS & RECREATION – FACILITIES MANAGEMENT T0 REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO BEGIN NEGOTIATIONS FOR POSSIBLE LICENSE AGREEMENT SBA TOWER COMPANY – GLEN OAKS COUNTY PARK The Parks and Recreation Department is requesting authorization to begin negotiations for a possible license agreement to allow SBA to construc t a communication tower at Glen Oaks County Park. This area is underserved by cellular and does not have enough towers for WIFI coverage. Glen Oaks has enough land to meet the city zoning requirements, and SBA would like to lease a small parcel of land to locate a 120’ monopole tower. They would handle all aspects of obtaining approval and construction of the site such as soil borings, survey, construction drawings, zoning and building permit. The lease would be a long -term lease with an initial five-year term with up to ten, five-year renewals. Rent would be 25% of the rent paid by each carrier, paid on a monthly basis. The tower would be able to accommodate up to six (6) carriers. Commissioner Potts suggested that Mr. Stencil check out the company because he has seen circumstances where a company went out of business or bankrupt, and he had concern s with the County signing a long-term lease with an unfamiliar company. He suggested that Mr. Stencil get some advice from Corporation Counsel. Jacobsen moved to authorize negotiations for a possible license agreement with SBA Tower Company to install a monopole tower on property at Glen Oaks County Park. Supported by Gingell. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote. 3.

A prefabricated equipment shelter measuring 11’6” x 26’ would be installed near the base of the tower and protected with an ornamental fence. Verizon Wireless would work with Parks and Recreation to minimize the visual distractions of the equipment by pa inting the antennas to match the water tower or sky.
