Bradford, Village Manage DATE: April 4, 2000 SUBJECT: Resolution Approving Entry and Testing Agreement with Sprint Spectrum; Agenda Item Sprint Spectrum, a wireless telecommunications service provider, has indicated an interest in utilizing the Tequesta Water Treatment Plant property for the provision of a wireless telecommunications tower. Revenues to the Village are estimated to be $24,000 per year, or more. If approved by the Village Council, the agreement with Sprint would enable the Village to use the tower for all of its communication needs, now or as may hereinafter exist, including, but not limited to, public safety, public radio and community antenna television. The Village would require that the tower be adaptable for co-location of other wireless telecommunication providers. If other such providers including, but not limited to, AT&T and Bell South, utilize the tower, Tequesta would realize additional revenues from each telecommunication service provider availing themselves of said facility. Tequesta' Wireless Telecommunication's Tower Ordinance encourages location of such facilities on public property and the facilitation of co- location capabilities in order to avoid proliferation of wireless telecommunications towers throughout the Village. Any such tower constructed would eliminate the ability for other towers within I 000 to I 500 feet of said tower. The Entry and Testing Agreement does not approve Sprint Spectrum to construct the tower. It only allows them do the necessary electronic testing of the site in order to determine if in fact it would be functional to Sprint for wireless telecommunication purposes. If Sprint Spectrum determines that the site is feasible for their purposes, a formal application to the Village in accordance with Tequesta's Wireless Telecommunication's Tower Ordinance would be forthcoming and the Village Council would have to consider the application and request at a public meeting. The Finance and Administration Committee recently reviewed this Sprint request to allow Sprint to review the applicable portions of the Tequesta property in greater detail and has recommended to the full Village Council that the same be approved since this only entails further testing of the feasibility of the site in question. Should you have any additional questions in regard to this request,Joe O'Hagan of Sprint Spectrum will be in attendance at your meeting on April I 3th TG B/kkv Word\MyDocumenu\Village Council Memorandum 3-31-00.4 RESOLUTION NO. 53-99/00 A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, APPROVING AN ENTRY AND TESTING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE VILLAGE AND SPRINT SPECTRUM L.P.
