SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Revisions to Communication Exclusive Master Agreement Between The School Board of Hillsborough County and Collier Enterprises II, LLC

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

On June 6, 2006, the School Board approved a Communication Exclusive Master Agreement (the "Agreement") between the Board and Collier Enterprises II, LLC ("Collier"). This Agreement is used for the purpose of allowing Collier to effectively market Board owned property as potential sites for cell tower locations. These cell tower locations generate revenue for the District and the individual school sites.

Collier has requested certain revisions to the Agreement in order to have height discretion for tower construction according to applicable governmental jurisdictions (Exhibit "A", Communication Exclusive Master Agreement, Paragraph 1. Purpose). Tower heights can be adjusted to provide additional space for multiple cell carriers, thereby increasing the potential lease payments per location. Each individual site lease will be presented to the Chief Facilities Officer, or such designee, for approval.

These revisions have been reviewed and approved by the School Board Attorney as to form and sufficiency.

ANNUAL DISTRICT GOAL(S) AND CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR(S)

Provide adequate school facilities for the accomplishment of all District Goals and Critical Success Factors.

FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted: No)

The revisions to the Agreement will have the potential to increase cell tower lease rental payments to the District.
