Commissioners review revised Verizon tower lease; approve amended agreement and scheduling of signatures
Summary
A revised lease amendment for a Verizon tower that includes a Section 106/historic-preservation and FCC-review reference was reviewed and the commission approved the amended agreement; staff will finalize signatures and provide the document to Verizon.
The board reviewed a revised lease amendment related to a Verizon communications tower and approved moving forward with the amended document subject to signatures.
Speaker 4 explained the amendment asked the county to certify that the tower was built after March 16, 2001, and to confirm that no federal, state or tribal historic-preservation officer had determined the tower was a historic property. The lease amendment also referenced Section 106 review and any associated environmental reviews required by the FCC; Speaker 4 said he marked a section as not applicable and initialed that change after noting the FCC was in receipt of a complaint from a member of the public about historic-preservation status.
Speaker 1 moved to approve the Verizon contract amendment and Speaker 4 seconded. Speaker 4 said he would scan and email the signed document to Verizon and produce a copy for the county files. The transcript records the board approving the contract amendment and discussing logistics for signatures and distribution of the finalized document.
