(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.

BACKGROUND Since 1987,the City of Miami Beach had had an agreement with Tower 41 Association Inc., for the use of certain room and roof areas for the continued use, storage and operation of Public Safety Communications equipment. This agreement was renewed annually however changes in the State telecommunications laws have permitted an increased number cellular telephone services created a demand for premium roof space for cellular and radio microwave communications equipment. In 1996 acknowledgement of the importance of assuring continuous non-interference of the city's public safety communications system, to ensure the delivery of the services that provide for the health and safety to our citizens, visitors, and public safety employees, the city entered into a 20 year term agreement. CURRENT STATUS 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. Page 1307 of 1633 City Commission Memorandum—Lease Agreement with Tower 41 August 20, 2017 Page 2 of 2 The major terms of the agreement with Tower 41 are: 1. EFFECTIVE DATE — Retroactive to annual renewal date (January, 2017) 2. TERM—Seven (7)years beginning on the Effective date. City has the exclusive right to cancel by giving 360 day notice. 3.
