TO:

Honorable Board of Supervisors

FROM:

Paul T. Scannell, Assistant County Manager

SUBJECT:

License Renewal Agreement with the United States Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation at Pise Mountain for a Communication Site (Lease No. 5169)

Recommendation

Adopt a resolution authorizing the President of the Board of Supervisors to execute a License Renewal Agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation for a communication site at Pise Mountain.

Background

The F.B.I. has been renting space in the County's communication building at Pise Mountain under a license agreement since 1970. The Information Services Department has requested that the monthly fee be increased to coincide with the dramatic increases in the County's radio site costs.

Discussion

The original agreement was executed in February 2000, and was first amended in September 2000 to raise the monthly fee from $530 to $550. In accordance with the revised Radio Site Equipment Rate Schedule, the License Renewal Agreement increases the monthly permit fee from $550.00 to $570.00 commencing retroactively to October 1, 2002 and to $650.00 per month commencing on April 1, 2002.

Vision Alignment

The License Renewal Agreement keeps the commitment of responsive, effective and collaborative government and goal number 22: County and local governments effectively communicate, collaborate and develop strategic approaches to issues affecting the entire County. The agreement contributes to this commitment and goal since it establishes a working agreement that benefits the County of San Mateo and the F.B.I.

Fiscal Impact

The rental income generated from this permit will be deposited into the Information Services Department account.

The Director of the Information Services Department concurs with our recommendation.
