COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission 
FROM:Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager 
DATE:October  18, 2017
 



SUBJECT:A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE, IN THE FORM ATTACHED TO THIS RESOLUTION, A LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY (TENANT) AND TOWER FORTY ONE ASSOCIATION, INC. (LANDLORD), FOR A TERM OF SEVEN (7) YEARS, COMMENCING RETROACTIVELY ON JANUARY 1, 2017, FOR THE USE OF AN EQUIPMENT ROOM AND CERTAIN ROOFTOP AREAS AT A BUILDING LOCATED AT 4101 PINE TREE DRIVE, IN CONNECTION WITH THE CONTINUED USE AND OPERATION OF PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT.

RECOMMENDATION

The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the Resolution.


ANALYSIS

The radio equipment located in Tower 41 provides a vital microwave link to ensure continuous public safety radio communications between the northern and mid-beach areas with the primary and secondary dispatch centers.

 

Relocation of the equipment would require the City to apply to the Federal communications Commission (FCC) for new microwave frequencies and the certification that the frequencies would not interfere with the existing commercial licensees.

 

This agreement provides the City with the non-interference and guarantee required for the continuous operation of the public safety communications system. The lease payment consideration acknowledges the value of the roof area to commercial cellular telephone operators and prevents the City from possibly having to relocate its equipment.


CONCLUSION

The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the Resolution.
