BACKGROUND:
The County of San Mateo’s Information Services Department leases and operates a communication facility at 440 Pigeon Point Road in Pescadero (Pigeon Point Communication Facility”). The facility contains approximately 500 square feet of land and is improved with a radio antenna tower. The lease authorizes the County to sublease space to other agencies in order to offset operational costs, which total $3,330 per month. The County of San Mateo currently generates $2,776.36 per month from permit agreements with the California Highway Patrol and AT&T. In order to enhance communication capabilities, the County of Santa Cruz desires to install their Sheriff’s Office communication equipment at the Pigeon Point Communication Facility.
DISCUSSION:
Real Property Services has negotiated a Permit Agreement, under which the County of Santa Cruz will pay to the County of San Mateo an initial monthly fee of $1,275.80, which will increase three percent annually. The permit is for an initial term of five years with an option to extend for an additional five years.
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the permit as to form. The Network and Radio Supervisor concurs in this recommendation.
Approval of this permit contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Collaborative Community by providing the County of Santa Cruz with a communication site while offsetting the cost of operating and maintaining the County of San Mateo’s communication facility at Pigeon Point Road.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The initial monthly fee of $1,275.80 will be deposited to the Information Services Department revenue account and will be used to offset the operation and maintenance costs of the communication site at Pigeon Point Road.
