HomeMy WebLinkAbout07 - Use of Signal PeakAGENDA ITEM TO: Mayor and City Council Zw FROM: Sharon Wood, Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: License Agreement Between County of Orange and Metro Cities Fire Authority for Use of Signal Peak RECOMMENDATION Authorize the City's representative to the Metro Cities Fire Authority Board to approve the Signal Peak License Agreement. DISCUSSION Metro Cities Fire Authority is in the process of upgrading their mobile data system infrastructure. The infrastructure includes equipment installed at the Metro Cities Communications Center in Anaheim and data base station equipment at three site locations. Currently the three site locations are Anaheim City Hall West, Sierra Peak County Communications Facility and Hoag Hospital. Geographic Information System (GIS) generated maps validate that inbound/ outbound data radio coverage for the seven member agencies will be optimized if the third site for the new system equipment is the Signal Peak County Communications Facility, rather than Hoag Hospital. The Authority has requested permission from the County of Orange to install the mobile data communications equipment at the Signal Peak Communications Facility. The County has granted the request pending execution of a License Agreement between the County of Orange and Metro Cities Fire Authority. Once approved, the Agreement will be in effect for ten (10) years or until terminated by either party. This is a standard license agreement for agencies that house communications equipment in a County facility. The Authority currently has a similar License Agreement with the County for the Sierra Peak Communications Facility. There is a minimal chance that damages to County property will occur as a result of Metro Cities equipment, which the proposed License Agreement addresses with an indemnification clause requiring the Authority to indemnify and defend the County against any damages that may occur during the term of this License. The Metro Cities Joint Powers Authority Agreement provides that any damages incurred by the Authority will be paid by its member cities. The Board has the authority to act on indemnification up to $1,000,000, but the County was not amenable to this limit. Therefore, the city council of each member city must approve the agreement. 2 Project No: PM 1239 -7 -6 2 Project Name: Metro Cities Fire Authority Project Location: Signal Peak 4 LICENSE 6 (Communications Agreement) 8 This License Agreement ( "License ") is made , 19_9 by and between the COUNTY OF ORANGE, hereinafter referred to as "COUNTY ", and the METRO CITIES 10 FIRE AUTHORITY, a joint powers authority, hereinafter referred to as "LICENSEE" , without regard to number or gender. 12 1.
