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,

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.

Room Space", located above the 18th floor, which consists of 451 square feet. The Rooftop
Space shall be those certain positions on the roof of the Building upon which TENANT'S
equipment is mounted, which shall be at sufficient height, now or in the future, so that the
signals transmitted and received thereby will not be impeded by the Building or any other
structure mounted thereon. The exact location on the Building roof will be mutually agreed upon
by LANDLORD and TENANT, based upon TENANT'S radio propagation tests and other activities of
a similar nature to determine TENANT'S need. The Rooftop Space and the Equipment Room
Space are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Leased Site" and shall be more particularly
described in Exhibit "A" which shall be attached hereto and made a part hereof.
LANDLORD grants TENANT, at TENANT'S sole expense, the right to survey the Leased Site and to

repair, and removal of the Communications Equipment, as said term is hereinafter defined. TENANT'S
representatives and designated vendors servicing TENANT'S Communications Equipment shall also be
allowed access-s to said property when service is needed; provided, however,that Tenant agrees that all
routine maintenance and repairs shall be performed Monday thru Friday, 9; 00 am to 5:00 pm, except in

policy described in Paragraph 7 of this Agreement.TENANT is responsible for the cost of such activities.
If LANDLORD proposes to lease roof space and/or a room to another vendor, said vendor shall

transmits radio waves which interferes with TENANT'S fully licensed Public Safety Radio Systems
and their supporting infrastructure, 800/700 MHz, UHF, as well as any future Public Safety LTE band 14
equipment. If the study reveals that such interference occurs or is likely to occur, the vendor will not be
allowed to set up his equipment on the premises. If the study reveals no interference and the vendor is
allowed to operate equipment on the premises, but later vendor's equipment is found to interfere with
TENANT'S equipment, the vendor's equipment will be shut down until the vendor corrects the
interference problem. Said vendor(s), at its sole cost and expense, shall take all necessary steps to
correct and eliminate such interference, which may include the addition of nonperformance degrading
equipment to the vendor's equipment causing said interference. If such interference cannot be
eliminated, TENANT may terminate the Agreement without further obligation on either party with
respect to such equipment.
All other vendors, if there are any, must operate all of their equipment under the
guidelines of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and be in compliance with all the
applicable rules and regulations, including obtaining an FCC license prior to operating said
equipment.
TENANT shall be responsible to the LANDLORD for payment of electricity utilized by the
TENANT. Payment of electricity utilized during the previous month shall be made to the
LANDLORD with the current monthly rent payment. Calculation of the payment shall be based on
the actual kilowatt hours used times an average rate per kilowatt hour and any applicable
demand charges.
An electrical sub-meter installed by the TENTANT will determine the actual usage. The rate per
kilowatt hourr will be determined annually as of October 1st, using Florida Power& Light (FP&L) current
billing rates and billing structure for the LANDLORD'S building. The TENANT will notify the
LANDLORD in writing, in the format prescribed in Exhibit "B", of the average rate per kilowatt
based on FP&L's information. TENANT agrees to provide for the installation and maintenance of air
conditioning equipment of the approximate size of 14" by 36" by 72". Said air conditioning equipment

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Philip Levine and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jimmy Morales, City Manager
DATE: August 20, 2017
SUBJECT:
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the resolution.
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.
