Body
OVERVIEW
The San Diego - Imperial County Regional Communications System (RCS), is managed and operated by the San Diego County Sheriff's Office (SDSO) Wireless Services Division (WSD). It provides numerous public safety agencies with day-to-day public safety and emergency responder communication support.
Mount Woodson and Mount San Miguel are RCS communications sites that have been operated by the SDSO since 1997 and 1996, respectively. These sites require license and lease amendments, respectively, to clarify terms and conditions. Alpine RCS is a communications site that has been operated by the SDSO since 1996 and requires a license agreement for an adjacent property to ensure continued access to the site for site maintenance.
Staff from the Department of General Services have negotiated an eleventh amendment to the license agreement for the Mount Woodson communications site, a third amendment to lease agreement for the Mount San Miguel communications site, and a license agreement for access to the Alpine Heights RCS site. Today's request is for Board of Supervisor's approval of the amendments and license agreement.
