To: The Honorable Bruno Sabatier, Chairman, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Brian L. Martin, Sheriff/Coroner/OES Director
Subject: Approve lease agreement with the US Forest Service (USFS) for placement of a repeater vault on Goat Mountain and Authorize the Chairman of the Board to sign
Executive Summary: The Lake County Sheriff’s Office, in coordination with Lake County Fire Chiefs Association and the US Forest Service, has recently purchased and is in the process of placing a mobile communications repeater vault in the Goat Mountain area with new technology communications repeaters that will build out and enhance current communications capabilities and infrastructure with the ability to operate under analog-digital and microwave systems throughout the Lake, Mendocino, Yolo and Colusa Operational Areas. This allows multi-disciplinary/multi-jurisdictional agencies to communicate with local, state, and federal agencies during routine and major events within the Lake Operational Area. The delay in the deployment of the new communications vault is the lease agreement between the USFS and the Lake County Sheriff's Office. The vault is scheduled to be deployed upon approval of the lease agreement.
The USFS does not anticipate charging any rental fees.
