Tioga County approved a lease with Thomas M. & Mary C. Owlett for a county public safety radio system site: a 50-year initial term at $4,000/year (1% annual increase) and a one-time $6,500 payment if renewed for an additional 20-year term.
The board approved a lease agreement with Thomas M. and Mary C. Owlett to use private property for a public safety radio system, including a tower and right-of-way access. The initial term is 50 years with payment to the owners of $4,000 per year, increasing 1% annually; if the lease is renewed for an additional 20-year term, a one-time payment of $6,500 will be due to the owners.
Commissioner Shane Nickerson moved to approve the lease; Commissioner Sam VanLoon seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The minutes record the financial terms and renewal payment but do not include site coordinates or technical specifications for the radio system.
