ice cream store, discussed restrictions of neon window signs in the sign code. Mr. 7
Musolino cited receiving a letter in January stating the color neon window signs must be 8
turned off because they are colored and present a safety hazard. Changing to white signs 9
would cost between $500.00 and $1,000.00, an unfair cost to small business merchants. 10

of neon signs in the sign code stating it is overly broad and vague. Mr. Cleary suggested 12
the merchants be able to place a neon sign on the back wall of their businesses so people 13
would know they are open. He also requested a meeting with the City Attorney and other 14
commissioners to see if an exception can be made for the back wall. Mayor Jablin 15
suggested the issue be looked at. He also stated the recommendations were made by a 16
citizen’s task force years ago. Councilmember Russo stated the sign code was originally 17
developed in the 1980’s, reviewed in the 1990’s and reviewed again in 2000. 18

CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING PAGE 7
03•20•08
Resolution 19, 1993. Mr. Malefatto explained CVS’ request to use its trademark red color 1
sign, post a sign for the subtenant, Minute Clinic, and replace the monument signs. 2
Councilmember Barnett stated she had no objection to the petitioner’s request. 3
Councilmember Barnett asked Growth Management Administrator Kara Irwin why the 4
petitioner was required to come to the City Council for the signage approval. Kara Irwin 5
explained he had to come to Council for approval of the red color signage because the 6
Resolution approved white signage. Councilmember Barnett requested to review the 7
monument signs, which she believes were approved by a development order, at a later 8
date, to which Ms. Irwin agreed. Councilmember Russo inquired about the federally 9
approved trademark. Ms. Irwin stated the color is registered and is compatible. Kara 10
Irwin explained that allowing the change of color on the fascia around the sign would set 11
a bad precedent. Vice Mayor Levy questioned the color blue for the Minute Clinic sign. 12
Ms. Irwin explained Minute Clinic is technically licensed as a separate business. 13
Discussion ensued about the color of the fascia behind the sign. Councilmember Barnett 14
did not take issue with the fascia color change behind the sign. Vice Mayor Levy stated 15
he supported the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board’s (PZAB) unanimous 16
recommendation against the change of color for the fascia behind the sign. 17
Councilmember Russo agreed with the PZAB findings. Councilmember Premuroso did 18
not take issue with the change of fascia color behind the sign. Mayor Jablin agreed with 19
the fascia color change because he feels it makes the sign more readable. Discussion 20
ensued regarding the wording of the Resolution to allow the fascia color change behind 21
the sign. City Attorney Christine Tatum clarified wording in Resolution 23, 2008, page 5, 22
line 2 currently reads: “the applicant shall paint the fascia consistent with the color of the 23
surface to which the signs are attached.” 24
Mayor Jablin opened the public hearing requesting anyone wishing to speak for or 25
against Resolution 23, 2008 come forward. With no public comments, Mayor Jablin 26
closed the public hearing and brought Resolution 23, 2008 back up to Council for 27
discussion. 28
Motion 29
Councilmember Barnett made a motion for approval of Resolution 23, 2008 with the 30
changes that have been read into the record. Vice Mayor Levy seconded. Motion carried 31
unanimously, 5-0. 32
XI. ORDINANCES (For Consideration on First Reading) 33
The City Clerk read the title for Ordinance 6, 2008. 34
a. Ordinance 6, 2008 – General Employees’ Pension Plan. An Ordinance of the City 35
Council of the City of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida relating to the General Employees’ 36
Pension Plan (DB); amending Section 3-128, Code of Ordinances entitled “Board of 37
Trustees”; providing for codification; and providing an effective date. 38
Finance Administrator Allan Owens explained the General Employees’ Pension Plan was 39
closed to new employees in May 1995 and only two active employees remain. The 40
requested change is to alter the Board composition in response to the dwindling number 41
of participants and reduced number of meetings to cut costs as follows: three residents 42
instead of two, one member of the system instead of two, a retiree or City resident as the 43
fourth member and the fifth member would remain a trustee chosen by the Board with 44
ratification by Council. Also requested is a change from quarterly meetings to semi-45
annual meetings as a cost savings. There is no cost element to the requested changes. 46
CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING PAGE 8
03•20•08
Staff recommends approval. Discussion ensued with Councilmember Russo inquiring 1
why the plan could not be closed and the employees moved to a different plan. A llan 2
Owens explained there would be a benefit loss to the employees because the closed plan 3
uses a higher multiplier than the Florida Retirement System (FRS). Corrections to 4
Ordinance 6, 2008 include changing the Agenda Cover Memorandum from 5
recommendation to deny to recommendation to approve (as noted under Modifications) 6
and clarification of Ordinance 8, 2008 (as appears on-screen) to Ordinance 6, 2008 (as 7
appears on the printed agenda). 8
Motion 9
Councilmember Russo made a motion in favor of Ordinance 6, 2008. Vice Mayor Levy 10
seconded. Motion carried unanimously, 5-0. 11
XII. ITEMS FOR COUNCIL ACTION/DISCUSSION 12
Councilmember Barnett reported receiving an e-mail from Joan Altwater, President, 13
Northlake Neighborhood Coalition, and understands there is an agreement between the 14
Coalition and Christ Fellowship. Discussion ensued among Councilmembers. City 15
Attorney Christine Tatum confirmed the City’s position. 16

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The subject petition is a request for approval of an amendment to the North County Government
Center Planned Community Development (PCD) and an amendment to the North County Regional
Library Site Plan, which are located approximately 1.6 miles east of 1-95 at the SW side of
intersection of PGA Boulevard and Campus Drive and north of Fairchild Avenue in the City of
Palm Beach Gardens. The PCD and Site Plan Amendments will permit the construction of a 14,612
square-foot addition to the North County Regional Library, increase the existing parcel size from
4.06 acres to 6.608 acres, provide the required linkage roads throughout the parcels, relocate the
Environmental Preserve, eliminate the State of Florida Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)
parcel from the limits of the PCD, reconfigure the approved PCD parcels, eliminate two (2) passive
parks and designate a 2.756 acre parcel for future development. Staff recommends approval of
Ordinance 5, 2008, Resolution 26, 2008, and Resolution 27, 2008, and the conditions of approval
provided herein.
BACKGROUND
The North County Government Center PCD was originally approved as a Planned Unit
Development by Ordinance 13, 1992. The prevailing Master Plan for the North County Government
Center PCD was approved by Ordinance 18, 1995. This PCD is currently approved as a 33.698 acre
campus with six (6) separate parcels. The PCD currently supports the 103,637 square foot North
County Government Center, which houses the North County Courthouse and County administrative
offices and the 24,920 square foot North County Regional Library. Additional parcels within the
PCD are currently approved for use as a licensing bureau and training facility for the DMV, two (2)
passive parks, and an environmental preserve. Ordinance 53, 1997 allowed for a two year time
extension to complete development of the PCD and Ordinance 54, 1997 increased the square
footage in overall size of two parcels (five and six) within the PCD. Lastly, Resolution 147, 1997
provided for the approval of a 72,000 square foot addition to the North County Courthouse and a
3.2 acre passive park on parcels 1 and 6 of the North County Government Center Planned
Community Development.
LAND USE & ZONING
The subject site has a zoning designation of Planned Community Development (PCD) District with
an underlying zoning of Publidhstitutional (P/I). The future land use designation is Public (P).
There are no zoning or land use designations amendments being proposed with the subject petition.
CONCURRENCY
Traffic
Concurrency was approved for a 40,000 square foot library as part of the initial development order
granted by the City in 1992, Ordinance 13, 1992. The proposed expansion will not exceed this
threshold, and no other activity within the North County Government Center PCD has relied on this
reservation of capacity for the library expansion. Also, the site is more than 80% built-out and
therefore, the County traffic is vested for a 40,000 square foot library.

Date Prepared: April 4,2008
Meeting Date: May 1,2008
Ordinance 5,2008
Resolution 26,2008
Resolution 27,2008
Drainage
The site is located within the jurisdictional boundaries of the Northern Palm Beach County
Improvement District, and the subject to the permit requirements of the Improvement District and
the South Florida Water Management District. The only impact on drainage associated with this
project is the expansion of the parking area for the library, which involves the addition of
approximately one-half acre of impervious area. This impact will be fully mitigated by the
installation of retention, pipes and inlets, which will connect to the existing library drainage system.
PROJECT DETAILS
Planned Community District Master Plan
Site Access
The PCD has two vehicular access points; one of which is located off of Campus Drive and the
other off of Fairchild Avenue. Future development will allow for more access via the City linkage
roads but it is not needed at this time.
Muster Site Plan
The existing 24,920 square foot North County Regional Library was originally approved as Phase I
of the PUD (Ordinance 13, 1992) and this current petition will allow for the expansion of 14,612 sq.
feet of interior space to the existing building for a total of 39,532 total square feet. The applicant is
also requesting to eliminate the two (2) passive parks from within the PCD and add additional
acreage to the environmental preserve (from 5.442 acres to 6.002 acres). The applicant proposes to
eliminate the existing 6.99-acre DMV parcel fronting PGA Boulevard from the limits of the PCD,
reducing the area of the PCD to 27.694 acres. Lastly, the applicant would like to designate the 2.756
acre parcel to the west of the library for future development. Therefore, this petition is requesting
the reconfiguration of parcel boundaries within the PCD which would include only four (4) parcels:
(1) the North County Courthouse, (2) the North County Regional Library, (3) Environmental
Preserve and (4) Future Development.
Landscaping & Buffering
The applicant is requesting to remove the DMV parcel from the PCD which has a condition that
requires a landscaping buffer along PGA Boulevard. Therefore, it will not be the responsibility of
the County but will be a condition of approval when the DMV site is redeveloped.
Although a significant portion of the subject 27.694 acres has been developed, significant open
space has been preserved within the existing development footprint of the North County
Government Center. The same approach was taken to develop the proposed Master Plan, which is
evidenced by the 6.002 acre preservation parcel and overall increase in preservation acreage.
The west eight (8) foot buffer of the library parcel is intended to serve as a required landscape
buffer. The existing native vegetation in this area (a mix of mature slash pine, Sabal palms and saw
palmetto) will remain and ultimately be combined with the landscape buffer proposed for the east
side of the adjacent parcel being designated for future development. The few exotic species that
exist in this general area of the expanded library parcel are located primarily at the edges of the
parcel and will be removed in conjunction with site development activity.
3
Waivers
The applicant is requesting the following waiver:
Required
Concrete sidewalks,
at least five feet
wide, shall be
provided on each
side of all streets in
a subdivision with
the exception of cul-
de-sacs.
Provided
Continuation of the
meandering sidewalk on
the south side of the
adjacent parcel to the north
for consistency of the
walkway. Therefore, the
sidewalk will only be on
one side of the road.
Recommendation
Approval
1) The applicant is requesting a waiver from City Code Section 78-506, sidewalks. The applicant
has agreed to extend the meandering sidewalk westward on the south side of the County
Courthouse site (parcel 1) as a condition of approval for development of parcel 4 in order to
provide pedestrian connectivity to/from the proposed passive trails within the environmental
preserve area. The required sidewalk would be detrimental to the buffer on the north side of
the parcel if it were placed on-site. Staff was concerned about pedestrian walkways to the
library site and is satisfied with the proposed sidewalk extension. Staff recommends approval
of the requested waiver.
Site Plan - North Countv Regional Library
Architecture
The proposed expansion of the North County Regional Library building on Parcel 2 will consist of a
14,612 square foot addition. The expansion will occur on the northeast side of the existing 24,920
square foot building. The new building has been designed to carry over elements that are generally
similar of the existing building’s architecture including the roofing that currently exists on the main
building. Care has been taken to maintain architectural consistency between the existing building
and the expansion in order to minimize the potential for adverse visual impact.
Parking
The Applicant is required to provide 132 total parking spaces for the site plan and has provided 265
spaces on the subject site. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a waiver for additional parking.
Palm Beach County Facilities Development & Operations provides parking at a rate of 1 space per
150 square feet of gross floor area as a standard practice for all libraries on a County-wide basis.
Whereas, the City’s standard parking rate requirement of 1 space per 300 square feet applies to all
government uses alike. The County has discovered that libraries often require a greater proportion
of parking than other government uses. Possible explanations include longer duration of visitation
by library patrons, infrequent vehicle turnover within surface parking areas that support library
facilities and organized public events and functions at library facilities.

Site Lighting
The Applicant has provided a photometric plan with the subject petition in order to incorporate the
revised lighting into the landscape and site plans.
Significant open space has been preserved within the development footprint of the existing and
proposed library parcel and throughout the entire North County Government Center. Care has been
taken during the planning stages of the library expansion to ensure that the project meets the open
space requirements of the City’s Land Development Regulations. A minimum of 3.03 acres, or
nearly 46% of the expanded library parcel, will be maintained as open space. The open space
calculated for the required Landscape Points is 1.98 acres, or 30% of the total area site.
CPTED Compliance
The petitioner shall comply with the Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED)
principles recommended by the Police Department.
Waivers
The applicant is requesting the following waivers:
Code Requirement Required Provided
78-345 (D) (3): Maximum 10% of >loo%
Additional parking required parking
greater than 10% of

78-441 (c): Boundary prior to the issuance certificate for occupancy
plat required of the first building for the library expansion.
Completion of a plat Prior to the issuance of
Dermit.
Recommendation
Approval
Approval
1.) The applicant is requesting a waiver to City Code Section 78-345 (D) (3) to increase the
total parking to a total of 265 spaces. This total is justified through by the standard of all
libraries on a County-wide basis of 1 per 150 square feet of gross floor area. Whereas it is
the City’s standard parking rate of 1 per 300 square feet applies to all government uses alike.
It has been discovered that libraries often require a greater proportion of parking than do
other government uses.
Staff recommends approval of this requested waiver.
2.) The applicant is requesting a waiver to City Code 78-441 (c) to allow the completion of the
plat for the North County Government Center PCD prior to the issuance of occupancy for
the library expansion. Due to the timing for the construction and the preservation
management plan, staff agrees with the applicants request for the plat to be completed prior
to the issuance of certificate of occupancy for the library expansion.
Staff recommends approval of this requested waiver.

The Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board (PZAB) reviewed the subject petition at a public
workshop on November 13, 2007. The PZAB issued the following comments:

NORTH COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER
APPLICATION FOR PCD AMENDMENT
STATEMENT OF JUSTIFICATION
1) Explain the nature of the request.
On behalf of Palm Beach County, the Palm Beach County Facilities Development &
Operations (FD&O) Department is seeking development approvals from the City of Palm
Beach Gardens to allow for amendments to the North County Government Center Planned
Community Development (PCD). These amendments are necessitated principally by a
proposed expansion to the North County Regional Library. The specific development
approvals that are concurrently being pursued by Palm Beach County are as follows:
0 Amendment to the North County Government Center PCD and Master Plan,
including the removal of land and reduction of overall acreage; reconfiguration of
the PCD Master Plan; and other various modifications that are addressed in further
detail below; and,
Amendment to the North County Regional Library Site Plan to increase land area
and add building square footage to allow for the construction of a 14,612 square
foot expansion, including a waiver of the City’s parking regulations to allow more
than 10% of the required parking for the library.
0
As indicated above, the County is requesting concurrent processing of these development
applications. A separate agreement, as required by the City of Palm Beach Gardens, is being
submitted to facilitate this administrative procedure.
The prevailing Master Plan for the North County Government Center PCD was approved by
the City Council on December 4, 1997 (Ordinance 54, 1997). The PCD is currently
approved as a 33.698 acre campus with six (6) separate parcels located at the southwest
corner of PGA Boulevard and Campus Drive. The PCD currently supports the 103,637
square foot North County Government Center, which houses the North County Courthouse
and County administrative offices, and the 24,920 square foot North County Regional
Library. Additional parcels within the PCD are currently approved for use as a licensing
bureau and training facility for the State of Florida Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV),
two (2) passive parks, and an environmental preserve.
This application proposes several amendments to the PCD and prevailing Master Plan, which
are generally described as follows:
Expansion of the Regional Library parcel from the existing 4.06 acres to 6.6 acres,
for an increase of 2.54 acres;
North County Government Center
PCD Amendment
Page 1 of 6
The addition of the eastlwest and northhouth linkage roads through the North
County Government Center campus, as required by the City’s Comprehensive
Plan;
Relocation of the Environmental Preserve parcel to the west side of the
northhouth linkage road , including a .566 acre expansion of the environmental
preserve acreage within the PCD from 5.442 acres to 6.08 acres;
Elimination of the existing 6.958-acre DMV parcel fronting PGA Boulevard from
the limits of the PCD, resulting in a total PCD area of 27.694 acres;
Reconfiguration of parcel boundaries within the PCD;
Elimination of two (2) passive parks from within the PCD; and,
Designation of a 2.802-acre parcel for future development.
The requested amendments to the PCD and Master Plan result primarily from the specific
development plan for the library expansion. To accommodate the library expansion and
associated improvements, the library parcel must also be expanded in area to support
additional parking, stormwater management, and other site elements required by the City of
Palm Beach Gardens. As a result of this parcel expansion, other parcels within the PCD must
also be reconfigured to maintain separate and distinct parcel boundaries. Furthermore, since
approval of the Master Plan in 1997, several changed conditions and circumstances have
arisen that require the original design and balance of uses within the PCD to be revisited.
Instances of these changed conditions and circumstance include the adoption of the Linkages
Plan by the City; change in Palm Beach County’s development plans and projections for the
passive parks; and unproductive negotiations and distanced relations between Palm Beach
County FD&O and the DMV. By eliminating the DMV parcel, the PCD boundary will
coincide with the County’s property ownership interest; thus affording both the County and
DMV the ability to better manage any future development upon their separate properties.
Palm Beach County FD&O reasonably anticipates that this arrangement would better serve
redevelopment interests and objectives for the existing DMV parcel should such an
opportunity arise.
2) What will be the impact of the proposed change on the surrounding area?
Palm Beach County FD&O anticipates that the proposed change and development program
will have no adverse affects on the surrounding areas. The subject site and existing buildings
compliment and harmoniously coexist with the surrounding mix of commercial, residential
and civic uses. The expansion of the existing library will enhance library services for the
regional population and improve convenience to government services for the citizens
residing in the northern Palm Beach County area. The proposed PCD and Master Plan
amendments will bring the Master Plan into conformance with the County’s goals for future
development of the campus while at the same time maintaining compatibility with the
surrounding area and consistency with the prevailing pattern of development in the vicinity
of the subject site.
North County Government Center
PCD Amendment
Page 2 of 6
3) Describe how the request complies with the City’s vision Plan and the following
elements of the City’s Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use, Transportation,
Housing, Infrastructure, Coastal Management, Conservation, Recreation and Open
Space, Intergovernmental Coordination and Capital Improvement.
Future Land Use:
The North County Government Center is designated on the City’s Future Land Use Map as
“P”, Public. This designation allows for government uses, including those identified on the
proposed PCD Master Plan. The development intensities proposed are consistent with the
allowances of the Public FLU designation. The amended Master Plan for the North County
Government Center campus conforms to all of the limitations and locational criteria
established by the Comprehensive Plan for “Public Institutional” land uses, including
setbacks, buffering, adequate parking, and onsite traffic circulation.
Transportation:
The traffic associated with the proposed library expansion was analyzed by the City with the
original development plan submitted in 1992, and again in 1995 upon approval of the first
Master Plan for the North County Government Center PCD. The proposed library expansion
is considered “vested” for traffic concurrency purposes by virtue of completion of the first
phase of development and inclusion of a 40,000 square foot library on Palm Beach County’s
list of exempt municipal projects. Documentation to support this conclusion is being
submitted as part of the current applications. Vehicular circulation through and in the
vicinity of the site will be enhanced by the proposed linkage roads that will serve as
secondary routes to PGA Boulevard, Fairchild Avenue and Campus Drive. Non-vehicular
circulation will be maintained along all adjacent roadways and at strategic locations within
the PCD.
Housing:
There is no impact on housing associated with this non-residential application.
Infrastructure:
Water: Seacoast Utility Authority supplies the subject site and surrounding area with potable
water. As confirmed by Seacoast Utility Authority in its letter dated September 11, 2007 (a
copy of which is included with this application), there is adequate capacity available to meet
the demands of this project.
Sewer: Seacoast Utility Authority supplies the subject site and surrounding area with sanitary
sewer service. As confirmed by Seacoast Utility Authority in its letter dated September 1 1 ,
2007 (a copy of which is included with this application), there is adequate capacity available
to meet the demands of this project.
Drainage: The site is located within the jurisdictional boundaries of the Northern Palm
Beach County Improvement District, and is subject to the permit requirements of the
North County Government Center
PCD Amendment
Page 3 of 6
Improvement District and the South Florida Water Management District. The only impact on
drainage associated with this project is the expansion of the parking area for the library,
which involves the addition of approximately one and one-half acre of impervious area. This
impact will be fully mitigated by the installation of retention, pipes and inlets, which will
connect to the existing library drainage system.
Solid Waste Disposal; The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Bach County provides disposal
on a countywide basis. As confirmed by the Solid Waste Authority in its letter dated January
17, 2007 (a copy of which is included in this application), adequate capacity exists at the
Authority’s facilities through the year 202 1.
Coastal Management:
The subject site is not located within the coastal area.
Conservation:
A significant portion of the North County Government Center campus has been developed or
otherwise established for development purposes. As a result of the proposed changes to the
PCD and Master Plan, all of the contiguous area located to the west of the proposed
north/south linkage road will be designated as an environmental preserve parcel. This area
comprises approximately 6.08 acres and supports a variety of soils, vegetation and wildlife.
In comparison to the preserve area indicated on the prevailing Master Plan, the proposed
environmental preserve area represents an increase of more than one-half acre.
As part of the planning effort for this application and the proposed campus layout, Cotleur &
Hearing, Inc. performed a comprehensive investigation of the site’s environmental
conditions. A report summarizing the findings of this assessment is being submitted as part
of this application. Based upon the investigation, Cotleur & Hearing, Inc. has confirmed that
naturally occurring vegetation on the undeveloped portion of the campus consists of good
quality, mature pine flatwoods. Existing native vegetation within previously disturbed areas
of the site is interspersed with exotics, including stands of Melaleuca. The report concludes
that the proposed preserve area will serve as a suitable habitat for any impacted gopher
tortoise populations that might exist on those areas of the property being proposed for
development. To the extent permitted by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FFWCC) regulations and other authority, enhancement of the proposed 6.08
environmental preserve parcel will be phased to coincide with the forthcoming library
expansion and future construction activity elsewhere within the PCD.
Recreation and Open Space:
The proposed changes have no adverse impact on any existing or planned City parks or
recreation facilities. Removal of the passive parks indicated on the prevailing Master Plan
will have no impact on the ability of either Palm Beach County or the City of Palm Beach
Gardens to serve residents of northern Palm Beach County with parks facilities or otherwise
provide adequate levels of service associated with recreation opportunities. Furthermore, the
North County Government Center
PCD Amendment
Page 4 of 6
proposed changes will continue to satisfy all applicable City requirements for open space
within the limits of the PCD.
Intergovernmental Coordination:
The site that is the subject of this application has been owned and managed by Palm Beach
County since the early 1970’s. The intent to improve and utilize the site as a government
complex to serve northern Palm Beach County remains unchanged. In recognition of this
status and objective, the City designated the property as “P”/Public on the Future Land Use
Map. The current request remains entirely consistent with the Public Future Land Use
designation and ability to provide government service.
Capital Improvements:
All infrastructure improvements required to support the proposed library expansion and
future facilities will be funded and constructed by Palm Beach County. The proposed library
expansion will have no adverse impact on the City’s Capital Improvements Program since no
additional City facilities or infrastructure will be required to support this development.
4) How does the proposed project comply with City requirements for preservation of
natural resources and native vegetation (Section 78-301, Land Development
Regulations)?
Although a significant portion of the subject 27.694 acres has been developed, significant
open space has been preserved within the existing development footprint of the North County
Government Center campus. This same approach has been taken to development the
proposed Master Plan, which is evidenced by the 6.08-acre preservation parcel and overall
increase in preservation acreage. Considerable care has been taken during the planning stage
of the associated library expansion to ensure that the project will meet the open space
requirements of the City’s Land Development Regulations. The open space exhibit included
with that application (Sheet A-1.02) confirms that a minimum of 3.03 acres, or nearly 46 %
of the total area of the expanded library parcel, will be maintained as open space. The open
space calculated for the required Landscape Points is 1.98 acres, or 30% of the total site area.
As indicated on the site plan submitted with the accompanying site plan application, the
western 8’ of the library parcel is intended to serve as a required landscape buffer. The
existing native vegetation in this area - a mix of mature slash pine, sabal palms and saw
palmetto - will remain and ultimately be combined with the landscape buffer proposed for the
east side of the adjacent parcel being designated for future development. The few exotic
species that exist in this general area of the expanded library parcel are located primarily at
the edges of the parcel and will be removed in conjunction with site development activity.
5. How will the proposed project comply with City requirements for Art in Public
Places (Chapter 78-261, Land Development Regulations)?
North County Government Center
PCD Amendment
Page 5 of 6
Palm Beach County will comply with the City’s requirements for Art in Public Places by
commissioning art work for this project and managing the installation of same in lieu of
payment.
6. Has the project received concurrency certification? Date Received:
Concurrency was approved for a 40,000 square foot library as part of the initial development
order granted by the City in 1992 (Ordinance 13, 1992). The proposed expansion will not
exceed this threshold, and no other development activity within the North County
Government Center PCD has replied upon this reservation of capacity for the library
expansion. No development aside from the library expansion or additional concurrency
certification is proposed at the present time. At such time as a formal development program
is proposed for the 2.802-acre future development parcel, Palm Beach County acknowledges
that concurrency certification for such development will be required.
Summary and Conclusion
On behalf of Palm Beach County, Palm Beach County’s Facilities Development & Operations
(FD&O) Department respectfully requests favorable consideration and approval of this
application for an amendment to the North County Government Center PCD and Master Plan.
The project team eagerly anticipates this opportunity to work with the City of Palm Beach
Gardens to achieve a viable and practical Master Plan to accommodate the expansion of the
North County Regional Library and address the remaining areas of the North County
Government Center PCD campus. Representatives at Palm Beach County Facilities
Development and Operations are Melanie Borkowski (Agent) and Bill DeBeck (Project
Manager). The Project Manger at Anna S. Cottrell & Associates, Inc. is Anna Cottrell.

NORTH COUNTY REGIONAL LIBRARY EXPANSION
APPLICATION FOR SITE PLAN AMENDMENT
STATEMENT OF JUSTIFICATION
1) Explain the nature of the request.
On behalf of Palm Beach County, the Palm Beach County Facilities Development &
Operations (FD&O) Department is seeking development approvals from the City of Palm
Beach Gardens to allow for the expansion of the existing North County Regional Library,
This application for site plan approval will result in an amendment to the site plan approved
by the City on May 7, 1992, via Ordinance 13, 1992. Details present upon this approved site
plan and the prevailing PCD Master Plan clearly indicate that the library expansion has
always been contemplated and forthcoming.
This application is being made by Palm Beach County FD&O concurrent with an application
to amend the North County Government Center PCD and Master Plan. The PCD Master
Plan was originally approved by the City on October 5, 1995 (Ordinance 18, 1995), and was
later amended on December 4, 1997 (Ordinance 54, 1997). Approval of the concurrent PCD
and Master Plan amendments are necessary to accommodate the proposed site plan for the
library expansion. A separate agreement, as required by the City of Palm Beach Gardens, is
being submitted to facilitate the concurrent processing of these pending applications.
The North County Regional Library current exists as a 24,920 square foot building, The
proposed expansion will introduce 14,6 12 additional square feet of interior space, resulting in
a library building of 39,532 total square feet. The overall library parcel is being expanded
from 4.06 acres to 6.6 acres in order to accommodate the building expansion and associated
improvements, for an increase of 2.54 acres. As detailed on the accompanying site plan that
has been submitted with this application, the 39,532 square foot library will be supported by
270 total parking spaces, which represents an addition of 138 parking spaces to the library’s
existing surface parking area. A stormwater retention area, landscape areas and other
associated improvements are also proposed as part of the building expansion and site plan
amendment.
Since the 270 total parking spaces will exceed the librwy’s required parking (132 spaces, or
one space / 300 square feet of library &ea) by more than lo%, a parking waiver is requested
with this application as required and authorized by Section 78-345(d)(3) of the City’s Land
Development Regulations. The accompanying site plan and exhibit (Sheet A- 102)
demonstrate that additional open space is being provided at a ratio not less than 1.5 square
feet per additional foot of paved surface, as required by City regulations, to address the
surplus parking. It should be noted that Palm Beach County FD&O provides parking at a
rate of 1 space per 150 square feet of gross floor area as a standard practice for all libraries
on a County-wide basis. Whereas the City’s standard parking rate of 1 space per 300 square
North County Regional Library Expansion
Site Plan Amendment
Page 1 of 6
feet applies to all government uses alike, Palm Beach County FD&O’s experience with a vast
array of government uses and facilities has led to discovery that libraries often require a
greater proportion of parking than do many other government uses. Possible explanations
include longer duration of visitation by library patrons than patrons to many other
government uses and facilities; infrequent vehicle turnover within surface parking areas that
support library facilities; and organized public events and functions at library facilities,
amongst other possible scenarios and site-specific demands. For all of the foregoing, Palm
Beach County FD&O considers the waiver request to be appropriate, rational, and
responsible; based upon sound planning principals; grounded by repeat experience for
similarly suited and situated facilities; and a reflection of the broad use classification system
employed by the City of Palm Beach Gardens to regulate the provision of parking.
2) What will be the impact of the proposed change on the surrounding area?
Palm Beach County FD&O anticipates that the proposed change and library expansion will
have no adverse affects on the surrounding area. The building expansion will enhance
library services for the regional population and improve convenience to government services
for the citizens residing in the northern Palm Beach County area. The existing library
building and proposed expansion are compatible with the surrounding area and compliment
the mix of residential, commercial and civic uses that exist adjacent to and in the vicinity of
the library parcel and North County Government Center PCD. Care has been taken to
maintain architectural consistency between the existing library building and 14,6 12 square
foot expansion in order to minimize the potential for adverse visual impact. The site
incorporat‘es significant open space areas as required by City regulations and will be finished
with substantial landscape treatment in order to uphold high aesthetic quality.
3) Describe how the request complies with the City’s vision Plan and the following
elements of the City’s Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use, Transportation,
Housing, Infrastructure, Coastal Management, Conservation, Recreation and Open
Space, Intergovernmental Coordination and Capital Improvement.
Future Land Use:
The subject site and entire North County Government Center campus is designated on the
City’s Future Land Use Map as “P”, Public. This designation allows for government uses,
including libraries. The development intensity of the existing library and proposed expansion
are entirely consistent with the allowances of the Public FLU designation. The proposed
library site plan conforms to all of the limitations and locational criteria established by the
Comprehensive Plan for Public land uses, including setbacks, buffering, adequate parking,
onsite traffic circulation, and all other aspects.
Transportation:
The traffic associated with the proposed library expansion was analyzed by the City with the
original development plan submitted for the library in 1992, and again in 1995 upon approval
North County Regional Library Expansion
Site Plan Amendment
Page 2 of 6
of the first Master Plan for the North County Government Center PCD. The proposed library
expansion is considered “vested” for traffic concurrency purposes by virtue of completion of
the first phase of development and inclusion of a 40,000 square foot library on Palm Beach
County’s list of exempt municipal projects. Documentation to support this conclusion is
being submitted as part of this application. Non-vehicular circulation will be maintained both
along the adjacent roadways and within the limits of the subject site.
Housing:
There is no impact on housing associated with this non-residential application.
Infrastructure:
Water: Seacoast Utility Authority supplies the site with potable water. As confirmed by
Seacoast Utility Authority in its letter dated September 11, 2007, (a copy of which is
included in this application), there is adequate capacity available to meet the demands of this
project.
Sewer: Seacoast Utility Authority supplies the site with sanitary sewer service. As
confirmed by Seacoast Utility Authority in its letter dated September 11, 2007 (a copy of
which is included with this application), there is adequate capacity available to meet the
demands of this project.
Drainage: The site is located within the jurisdictional boundaries of the Northern Palm
Beach County Improvement District, and is subject to the permit requirements of the
Improvement District and the South Florida Water Management District. The only impact on
drainage associated with this application is the expansion of the library parking area, which
involves the addition of approximately one and one-half acre of impervious area. This impact
will be hlly mitigated by the installation of retention, pipes and inlets, which will connect to
the existing library drainage system.
Solid Waste Disposal; The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Bach County provides disposal
on a countywide basis. As confirmed by the Solid Waste Authority in its letter dated January
17, 2007 (a copy of which is included in this application), adequate capacity exists at the
Authority’s facilities through the year 202 1.
Coastal Management:
The subject site is not within the coastal area.
Conservation:
The additional parking and other improvements needed to support the library and
forthcoming expansion requires that the boundaries of the library parcel be enlarged. For this
reason, the environmental preserve designated adjacent to the library parcel on the prevailing
Master Plan will be relocated to the western limits of the PCD and west of a proposed
north/south linkage road. This area comprises approximately 6.08 contiguous acres (nearly
North County Regional Library Expansion
Site Plan Amendment
Page 3 of 6
22% of the entire 27.694-acre North County Government Center PCD) and supports a variety
of soils, vegetation and wildlife. In comparison to the 5.44-acre preserve area indicated on
the prevailing Master Plan, the proposed 6.08-acre environmental preserve area represents an
increase of more than one-half acre.
As part of the planning effort for this application and the proposed campus layout, Cotleur &
Hearing, Inc. performed a comprehensive investigation of the site’s environmental
conditions. A report summarizing the findings of this assessment is being submitted as part
of this application. Based upon the investigation, Cotleur & Hearing, Inc. has confirmed that
naturally occurring vegetation on the undeveloped portion of the campus consists of good
quality, mature pine flatwoods. Existing native vegetation within previously disturbed areas
of the site is interspersed with exotics, including stands of Melaleuca. The report concludes
that the proposed preserve area will serve as a suitable habitat for any impacted gopher
tortoise populations that might exist on those areas of the property being proposed for
development. To the extent permitted by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FFWCC) regulations and other authority, enhancement of the proposed 6.08
environmental preserve parcel will be phased to coincide with the forthcoming library
expansion and future construction activity elsewhere within the PCD.
Designation of the 6.08 acre preserve area on the proposed Master Plan for the North County
Government Center PCD meets the intent of the City’s Comprehensive Plan for preservation
and protection of native habitats and the provision of open space for this purpose.
Accordingly, Palm Beach County FD&O anticipates that there are no adverse environmental
impacts associated with the proposed library expansion and PCD development program.
The library parcel design incorporates significant areas of open space, as identified on the
open space exhibit included within the application package (Sheet A-102.). The existing
native vegetation within the 8’ landscape buffer identified along the western limits of the
parcel will remain and ultimately be combined with the landscape buffer proposed for the
east side of the adjacent parcel being designated for future development. The few exotic
species that exist in this general area of the expanded library parcel are located primarily at
the edges of the parcel and will be removed in conjunction with site development activity.
Recreation and Open space:
This application will have no adverse impact on any existing or planned City park or other
recreation facilities. The proposed site plan amendments will continue to satisfy all
applicable City requirements for open space within the limits of the subject site.
Intergovernmental Coordination:
The subject site has been owned and managed by Palm Beach County since the early 1970’s.
The intent to utilize and improve the site as a regional library to serve northern Palm Beach
County remains unchanged. In recognition of this status and objective, the City designated
the property as “P”/Public on the Future Land Use Map and approved a Master Plan for
North County Regional Library Expansion
Site Plan Amendment
Page 4 of 6
development that would allow a campus for County government related uses. The current
request remains entirely consistent with the Public Future Land Use designation and furthers
the ability to provide government service. Approval of this application would be entirely
consistent with the intent and identified purpose of previous approvals for the North County
Government Center and is necessary to allow for the construction of the second phase of the
North County Regional Library.
Capital Improvements:
All infrastructure improvements required to support the proposed library expansion will be
funded and constructed by Palm Beach County. The proposed library expansion will have no
adverse impact on the City’s Capital Improvements Program since no additional City
facilities or infrastructure will be required to support this development.
4) How does the proposed project comply with City requirements for preservation of
natural resources and native vegetation (Section 78-301, Land Development
Regulations)?
The proposed library expansion was previously approved as a second phase of development
for this facility. Notwithstanding this scope of work and other minor modifications to the
existing library building and related site improvements, the only new development proposed
by this application is the expansion of the parking area needed to support the library
expansion.
Significant open space has been preserved within the development footprint of the existing
and proposed the library parcel and throughout the North County Government Center
campus. Care has been taken during the planning stages of the library expansion to ensure
that the project will meet the open space requirements of the City’s Land Development
Regulations. The open space exhibit included with that application (Sheet A- 1.02) confirms
that a minimum of 3.03 acres, or nearly 46 % of the total area of the expanded library parcel,
will be maintained as open space. The open space calculated for the required Landscape
Points is 1.98 acres, or 30% of the total site area.
As indicated on the site plan submitted with this application, the western 8’ of the proposed
library parcel is intended to serve as a required landscape buffer. The existing native
vegetation in this area - a mix of mature slash pine, sabal palms and saw palmetto - will
remain and ultimately be combined with the landscape buffer proposed for the east side of
the adjacent parcel being designated for future development. The few exotic species that exist
in this general area of the expanded library parcel are located primarily at the edges of the
parcel and will be removed in conjunction with site development activity.
5) How will the proposed project comply with City requirements for Art in Public Places
(Chapter 78-261, Land Development Regulations)?
North County Regional Library Expansion
Site Plan Amendment
Page 5 of 6
Palm Beach County will comply with the City’s requirements for Art in Public Places by
commissioning art work for this project and managing the installation of same in lieu of
payment.
6) Has the project received concurrency certification? Date Received:
Concurrency was approved for a 40,000 square foot library as part of the initial development
order granted by the City in 1992 (Ordinance 13, 1992) and as reinforced upon subsequent
Master Plans approved for the North County Government Center PCD. The proposed
expansion will not exceed this threshold, and no other development activity within the North
County Government Center PCD has replied upon this reservation of capacity for the library
expansion.
Summary and Conclusion
On behalf of Palm Beach County, Palm Beach County’s Facilities Development & Operations
(FD&O) Department respectfully requests favorable consideration and approval of this
application for a Site Plan Amendment and waiver to accommodate the expansion of the North
County Regional Library. The project team eagerly anticipates this opportunity to work with the
City of Palm Beach Gardens to realize this objective and achieve a viable and practical Master
Plan to address the remaining areas of the North County Government Center PCD campus.
Representatives at Palm Beach County Facilities Development and Operations are Melanie
Borkowski (Agent) and Bill DeBeck (Project Manager). The Project Manger at Anna S. Cottrell
& Associates, Inc. is Anna Cottrell.

Dear Ms. Maiwurm:
This will serve as written follow up to our conversation this afternoon. For the
purposes of traffic concurrency regulations, the above referenced project is
complete and fully vested for the total square footage approved.
Palm Beach Gardens approved the North County Government Center PCD Master
Plan (Ordinance 54, 1997) for the following development: a 103,637 square foot
courthouse and administration building, a 40,000 square foot library, and a 3,100
square foot Department of Motor Vehicles Facility. Of the total 146,737 square
feet approved, all but 15,080 square feet of library for its expansion, and the
relocation of the existing 3,100 square foot DMV facility remain to be built.
According to these figures, 87.6 percent of the total building area has been
cE?ztrnctec!.
According to the County’s Traffic Performance Standards regulations, the project
buildout date sets the anticipated time of completion of the proposed project
included in a traffic impact study. In all other respects, however, a project is
deemed complete once it is 80 percent built. The definition of “Buildout Period”
provides in pertinent part: “In the case of a non-residential project, the final CO
[certificate of occupancy] for interior tenant improvements for 80 percent of the
gross leasable area shall be the completion of the proposed project for purposes of
this Article.’‘ Palm Beach County Unified Land Development Code, section
1.1.2.B.68.
Ms. Allyson Maiwunn

Because this project is considered complete for purposes of the County’s Traffic
Performance Standards regulations, it does not require additional traffic
concurrency review or approvals. Please feel free to contact me with any
additional concerns or questions.

The attached letter from Dan Weisberg (Palm Beach County Traffic
3ivision) to Rich Walton (City of Palm Beach Gardens Planning and
Zoning Department) dated November 15, 1996 originally approved this
project for traffic concurrency. Although this letter had noted a 1999 year
buildout for this project, this would have needed to be a condition of the
City's development order to be enforceable according to our Assistant
County Attorney Lenny Berger. If there is no such condition, there is no
expiration date for the traffic concurrency and the approval is still valid.

Dear Mr. Walton:
The Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the revised traffic impact
study for the project entitled Mh Countv Governrn ent Cente r, pursuant to the
Traffic Performance Standards in Section 15 of the Palm Beach County Land
levelopment Code. The proposed project will expand the existing 31,637
quare foot courthouse complex to 105,000 square feet. This includes 30,000
quare feet for a museum. The project will also expand the existing 24,000
quare foot library to 40,000 square feet. The project will generate 7,931 new
ips. This trip generation estimate is considered to be conservative because
le courthouse complex rate was used for the museum, which is anticipated
3 generate less traffic. The build-out for the project is 1999.
he MPO has performed the required Test 2 model run for the project. It has
,een determined that the project meets Test 2. The Traffic Division has
letermined that the project meets the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm
3each County. If you have any questions, please contact me at 6844030.

RE: North County Regional Library Expansion
McMahon Project No. M06344.33
Dear Mr. Clark:
McMahon Associates, Inc. (McMahon) has prepared this Traffic Impact Study for the proposed
expansion of the North County Regional Library located at 11303 Campus Drive in Palm Beach
Gardens, Florida. It has direct access to Fairchild Avenue via a two-way driveway connection.
The library will be expanded from its current size of 24,920 square feet to 39,532 square feet.
The site has been issued a Palm Beach County traffic concurrency approval, but requires a
concurrency approval from the City of Palm Beach Gardens. Therefore, this traffic study was
prepared based on the City‘s requirement that all of roadways that are significantly impacted
by this project must not exceed their adopted Level of Service (LOS). The analysis assumed a
build out of 2013.
Project Trip Generation
The daily, AM peak hour and I’M peak hour trip generation for this project was calculated
using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) trip generation rates that are accepted by
Palm Beach County. Attachment 1 summarizes the proposed project’s impacts by comparing
its current square footage of 24,920 to its proposed square footage of 39,532. The increase in
square footage is projected to have an impact of 749 daily, 15 AM peak hour, and 98 PM peak
hour net new trips.
Roadway Capacity Analysis
The number of vehicle trips generated by this project corresponds to a one (1) mile radius of
influence. A distribution of project traffic on the surrounding roadway network was developed
based on the land use of the property and the proximity to major roadways and residential
areas. The resulting percent distribution of project traffic is shown in Attachment 2. The net
new peak hour vehicle trips were assigned to the surrounding roadway network based on this
distribution. A significance analysis was performed for the AM and PM peak hours in order to
determine which roadways would have to be analyzed for LOS determination. Attachments 3
and 4 show the results of the significance analysis for the AM and PM peak hours, respectively.
Fairchild Avenue and Campus Drive are significantly impacted in the PM peak hour.
MA Boston PA Fort Washington I Exton I Mechanicsburg NJ Yardville I:L Palm Beach Gardens I Fort Lauderdale I Fort Myers I Miami
Mr. Dan Clark, P.E. - North County Regional Library
January 11,2008
Page 2
Fairchild Avenue and Campus Drive are City roadways and are required to operate at LOS D.
Traffic Data was collected on both of these roadways by the Palm Beach Gardens Police
Department on January 8, 2008. The traffic data is included as Attachment 5. This data was
used to establish the 2008 traffic volumes for both roadways. A nominal annual compound
growth rate of one (1) percent was applied to the 2008 traffic counts in order to project traffic
volumes for 2013. The one percent growth rate was used because the majority of traffic
volumes in the area have shown a reduction in the three (3) year growth rate calculation.
Attachment 6 provides the summary table for the LOS analysis of both roadways and shows
that neither will exceed their LOS as a result of the library expansion.
Conclusion
McMahon has reviewed the potential traffic impacts associated with the expansion of the North
County Regional Library from 24,920 square feet to 39,532 square feet. The increase in square
footage is projected to have an impact of 749 daily, 15 AM peak hour, and 98 PM peak hour net
new trips. The project will not cause the significantly impacted roadways, Fairchild Avenue
and Campus Drive, to exceed their adopted LOS of D. McMahon has determined that this
development meets the City's traffic concurrency requirements and can be approved. Please
contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have regarding this analysis.

Resolution 34, 2008
Lease Agreement
Date Prepared: March IO, 2008
Meeting Date: May 1,2008
Resolution 34,2008
BACKGROUND:
The City of Palm Beach Gardens, in conjunction with other cities in Palm Beach County, is
in the process of implementing a new radio system. This will increase interoperability
between other cities and law enforcement agencies and their ability to solve and deter
crime. The new radio system will aide in both the day-to-day operations and during
emergencies. To maintain adequate radio coverage for officer safety in Palm Beach
Gardens and other radio users two radio antenna sites are required. One is located on top
of The Landmark and the second, a proposed site at 9190 Old Dixie Hwy., Lake Park (Old
Dixie & Northlake), owned by American Tower.
To establish the second site as one of our radio transmission locations, the Police
Department desires to enter into a lease agreement with American Tower Asset. The
terms of the agreement are 5 years with renewal of 3 additional periods of 5 years each.
Annual cost is $27,600 with an annual escalator of 4%.Sustaining a long term location for
radio transmit and receiving equipment is vital to public safety, so a long term lease
agreement was implemented. American Tower will provide site space for our 10x14 foot
equipment shelter and generator (3’x6’), (moved from Seacoast Utilities) and 2 radio

amount equal to a percentage (as more particularly described herein below) of the following costs, as applicable: (i) all
common expenses incurred for the operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of common facilities at the Tower

a Maintenance Expenses review in any given year during the Term of the Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of
Licensor‘s right to conduct such a review and adjust the Monthly License Fee accordingly in any other such year.

any subsequent modifications to or installation of additional Approved Equipment, Licensee shall pay Licensor the Site
Inspection Fee as defined on page 1 of this Agreement. In the event that Licensor installs Licensee’s Approved
Equipment, Licensor shall waive the Site Inspection Fee with respect to such installation. Licensee acknowledges that

installation complies with any applicable federal, state or local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, that the
installation was performed in a good, workmanlike manner or that such installation will not cause impermissible or
unlawful interference.

“Work) on the Tower Site, Licensee shall submit to Licensor for review and approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, detailed plans and specifications accurately describing all aspects of the proposed Work.
Licensee shall notify Licensor no less than 5 days prior to the date upon which Licensee intends to commence any
construction or installation at the Tower Site, together with a construction schedule, so Licensor has the opportunity
to be present during any such installation or construction. Licensee shall not commence Work on the Tower Site
until Licensor issues to Licensee a NTP. Licensor shall issue a NTP only upon request from the Licensee and
receipt of the following complete and accurate documentation: (1) evidence that any contingencies set forth in the
approval of Licensee’s application have been satisfied; (2) evidence that Licensee has obtained all required
governmental approvals including, but not limited to, zoning approvals, building permits, and any applicable
environmental approvals including copies of the same; (3) a copy of the plans and specifications that have been
approved by Licensor for the proposed equipment installation; (4) evidence that any contractors other than Licensor
that will be performing work on the Tower Site are on Licensor’s approved vendor list, with valid and current
worker’s compensation and general liability insurance certificates on file with Licensor naming Licensor as an
additional insured and which otherwise satisfy the insurance coverage requirements set forth in section 15 of this
Agreement; and (5) a construction schedule. In no event will a NTP be issued prior to the payment by Licensee of
the Application Fee provided for on Page 1 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

the Tower.
(b) Structural Analysisllnterference Analysis. Prior to the commencement of any Work on the Tower Site by or for
the benefit of the Licensee, Licensor may, in its reasonable discretion, perform or cause to be performed a
structural analysis or require a professional engineer’s certified letter to determine the availability of capacity at the
Tower Site for the installation or modification of any Approved Equipment and/or additional equipment at the
Licensed Premises by Licensee. Licensee agrees to remit payment to Licensor for all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by Licensor for such structural analysis or professional engineer’s certified letter within 30 days
following receipt of an invoice from Licensor. The foregoing payment shall be at Licensor‘s prevailing rates for the
performance of same or the amount Licensor‘s vendor is then charging Licensor, as applicable. In the event a
structural analysis is performed after the execution of this Agreement by Licensor but prior to the initial installation
of Licensee’s Approved Equipment, and such analysis indicates that the existing Tower cannot accommodate the
proposed installation of Licensee’s Approved Equipment thereon, Licensor or Licensee may terminate this
Agreement upon written notice at any time prior to the commencement of Licensee’s installation. Prior to the
commencement of any initial or subsequent construction or installation on the Tower Site by or for the benefit of the
Licensee and/or the modification of the Licensee’s radio frequencies propagated from the Licensed Premises,
Licensor may elect to perform a shared site interference study (“SSIS”) and Licensee shall pay Licensor a fee of
$1,600.00 per study, as adjusted annually on the anniversary of the Commencement Date by a percentage rate
equal to the Annual Escalator. This fee shall be payable at the time of Licensee’s application or immediately upon a
determination by Licensor that a SSlS is required. In the event a SSlS is performed after the execution of this
Agreement by Licensor but prior to the installation of Licensee’s Approved Equipment, and such SSlS indicates that
the proposed installation of Licensee’s Approved Equipment on the Tower is acceptable, such an indication in no
way relieves the Licensee of its obligations under section 11 herein.
Licensor hereby grants Licensee reasonable access to the Licensed
Premises for the purpose of installing and maintaining the Approved Equipment and its appurtenances. Except as
otherwise provided, Licensee shall be responsible for all site Work to be done on the Leased Premises or the

the Approved Equipment. Licensee shall submit an application (“Application”), utilizing Licensor’s then current form,
to request the right to replace or modify its Approved Equipment, alter the radio frequency of the Approved
Equipment or increase the Ground Space, which Application shall be accompanied by a Relocation Application

sole discretion. Licensee acknowledges that any such relocation or modification of the Approved Equipment may
result in an increase in the Monthly License Fee. Licensee shall have the right to remove all Equipment at
Licensee’s sole expense on or before the expiration or earlier termination of the License provided Licensee repairs
any damage to the Tower Site or the Tower caused by such removal. Within 30 days of the expiration or termination
of this Agreement for any reason, Licensee shall: (i) remove the Approved Equipment and any other property at the
Tower Site of Licensee from the Licensed Premises at Licensee’s sole risk, cost, and expense; (ii) deliver the

excepted); and (iii) repair any damage caused by the removal of the Approved Equipment within 10 days of the
occurrence of such damage. If Licensee fails to timely pay the Holdover Fee and/or does not remove its Approved
Equipment within 30 days after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, (i) the Approved Equipment shall be
deemed conclusively and absolutely abandoned by Licensee and anyone claiming by, through, or under Licensee
except for Hazardous Materials (defined in section 26 herein) and waste and Approved Equipment containing
Hazardous Materials and waste, which must be removed by Licensee from the Licensed Premises and Easement
prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement; and (ii) Licensor shall have the right to remove the
Approved Equipment at Licensee’s sole expense and dispose of such Approved Equipment in any manner Licensor
so elects, and Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for its expenses upon demand without off-set.
11. RF INTERFERENCE/ USER PRIORITY.
(a) Definitions. For purposes of this section 11, the following capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth
herein:
Interference includes any performance degradation, misinterpretation, or loss of information to a radio
communications system caused by unwanted energy emissions, radiations, or inductions, but shall not include
permissible interference as defined by the FCC, and in addition, with regard to Unlicensed Frequencies,
congestion.
Licensed Frequencies are those certain channels or frequencies of the radio frequency spectrum that are
licensed by the FCC in the geographic area where the Tower Site is located.
A Licensed User is any user of the Tower Site, including Licensee, that transmits and/or receives Licensed
Frequencies at the Tower Site, but only with respect to such Licensed Frequencies.
A Priority User is any Licensed User of the Tower Site that holds a priority position in relationship to Licensee
for protection from Interference, as determined in this section 11, which status is subject to change as set
forth herein.
A Subsequent User is any user of the Tower Site that holds a subordinate position in relationship to Licensee
for protection from Interference, as determined in this section 11, which status is subject to change as set
forth herein.
Unlicensed Frequencies are those certain channels or frequencies of the radio frequency spectrum that are
not licensed by the FCC and are available for use by the general public in the geographic area where the
Tower Site is located.
An Unlicensed User is any user of the Tower Site, including Licensee, that transmits and/or receives
Unlicensed Frequencies at the Tower Site, but only with respect to such Unlicensed Frequencies.
(b) Information. Licensee shall cooperate with Licensor and with other lessees, licensees or occupants of the Tower
Site for purposes of avoiding Interference and/or investigating claims of Interference. Upon request, Licensee,
within 10 days of Licensor’s request, shall provide Licensor with a list of Licensee’s transmit and receive
frequencies and Approved Equipment specifications necessary to resolve or investigate claims of Interference.
(c) Unlicensed Frequencies. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, as among Licensor, Licensee
and other users of the Tower or Tower Site, (i) an Unlicensed User shall have no priority with respect to any other
FCC Unlicensed Users with respect to Interference; and (ii) an Unlicensed User’s rights and obligations with respect
to such Interference shall be determined and governed by FCC Rules and Regulations and any other applicable
law. Licensor expressly disclaims any and all warranties and accepts no responsibility for management, mediation,
mitigation or resolution of Interference among FCC Unlicensed Users operating at the Tower Site and shall have no
liability therefor.
(d) Licensed Frequencies. Subject to FCC Rules and Regulations and other applicable law, the Parties acknowledge
and agree that the accepted industry standard for priority protection from Interference between multiple Licensed
Users has been based on the priority of occupancy of each user to another user of the Tower or Tower Site, which
priority within Licensor has been based on submittal of its collocation application by any user, including Licensee.
Should application of FCC Rules and Regulations and other applicable law not resolve any claims of Interference
consistent with subsections Il(e), Il(9 and 11(g) below, as among Licensor, Licensee and other users of the
Tower Site, (i) each Licensed User’s priority shall be maintained so long as the Licensed User does not change the
equipment and/or frequency that it is entitled to use at the Tower Site at the time of its initial occupancy; and (ii)
8
11 1 I5v9
ATC SITE NAME I NUMBER: North Palm Beach, FU303100
CUSTOMER SITE NAME/ NUMBER: ATC North Palm BeachINIA
Licensee acknowledges and agrees that if Licensee replaces its Approved Equipment or alters the radio frequency
of the Approved Equipment to a frequency range other than as described on page 1 of this Agreement, Licensee
will lose its priority position for protection from Interference with regard to Approved Equipment operating at the new
frequency in its relationship to other Licensed Users which are in place as of the date Licensee replaces its
Approved Equipment or alters its radio frequency, consistent with this section 11.
(e) Correction.
(i) Licensee. Licensee agrees not to cause Interference with the operations of any other user of the Tower or
Tower Site and to comply with all other terms and provisions of this section 11 imposed upon Licensee. If Licensor
determines, in its reasonable discretion based on standard and accepted engineering practices, that Licensee’s
Approved Equipment is causing Interference to the installations of Licensor or a Priority User, Licensee shall, within
48 hours of notification from Licensor, commence such actions as are necessary to mitigate or eliminate the
Interference, with the exception of ceasing Licensee’s operations. If Licensee cannot mitigate or eliminate such
Interference within the 48 hour period, Licensor may file a complaint with the FCC (currently the FCC’s Enforcement
Bureau, Spectrum Enforcement Division) or if such other user of the Tower Site which is subject to Interference
from the Licensee’s Approved Equipment is a Priority User, then upon the request of such Priority User consistent
with Licensor’s contractual obligations owed to the Priority User, Licensor may require that Licensee turn off or
power down its interfering Approved Equipment and only power up or use such Approved Equipment during off-
peak hours specified by Licensor in order to test whether such Interference continues or has been satisfactorily
eliminated. If Licensee is unable to resolve or eliminate, to the satisfaction of Licensor, such Interference within 30
days from Licensee’s initial notification thereof, Licensee will immediately remove or cease operations of the
interfering Approved Equipment.
(ii) Licensor. Upon the request of Licensee, Licensor hereby covenants to take commercially reasonable efforts to
prohibit a Subsequent User from causing Interference with the operations of Licensee to the extent Licensee is a
Priority User pursuant this section 11. If Licensor determines, in its reasonable discretion based on standard and
accepted engineering practices, that a Subsequent User’s equipment is causing Interference to the installations of
Licensee, upon Licensee’s request, Licensor shall, within 48 hours of request, commence such actions as are
necessary to mitigate or eliminate the Interference, with the exception of ceasing Subsequent User’s operations.
(iii) Government Users. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if another user of the Tower or Tower Site is a
governmental entity, Licensor shall give such governmental entity written notice of the Interference within 5
business days of Licensor’s determination that such action is reasonably necessary. Licensor shall have the right
to give the governmental entity 5 business days, or more as specified in the governmental site or occupancy
agreement or as required by applicable law, from the receipt of such notice prior to Licensor being required to take
any actions required by this subsection 11 (e) to cure such Interference.
(9 FCC Requirements Regarding Interference. Nothing herein shall prejudice, limit or impair Licensee’s rights under
applicable law, including, but not limited to, FCC Rules and Regulations to redress any Interference independently
of the terms of this section 11. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions set forth in this
section 11 shall be interpreted in a manner so as not to be inconsistent with applicable law, including, but not limited
to, FCC Rules and Regulations and nothing herein relieves Licensee from complying with all applicable laws
governing the propagation of radio frequencies and/or radio frequency interference. The Parties acknowledge that
currently FCC Rules and Regulations govern the obligations of wireless telecommunication service providers with
respect to the operation of equipment and use of frequencies. Consequently, the provisions set forth in this section
11 are expressly subject to CFR, Title 47, including but not limited to Part 15, et seq, governing Radio Frequency
Devices; Part 20, et seq, governing commercial mobile radio services; Part 24, et seq, governing personal
communications services; and Part 90, et seq, governing private land mobile radio services. In addition, in
accordance with good engineering practice and standard industry protocols, licensees employ a wide range of
techniques and practices, including those involving the use of proper types of equipment as well those related to the
adjustment of operating parameters, in a mutually cooperative effort to identify and mitigate sources of Interference.
The obligation of Part 20 licensees, including, but not limited to, private paging, specialized mobile radio services,
cellular radiotelephone service and personal communications services, to avoid Interference is set forth in 47 CFR
Part 90, Subpart N - Operating Requirements, §90.403(e). Claims of Interference are ultimately cognizable before
the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau, Spectrum Enforcement Division. Licensee shall observe good engineering
practice and standard industry protocols, applying such commercially reasonable techniques as constitute best
practices among licensees, in the deployment of their frequencies and the operation of the Approved Equipment. If
Licensee deploys its frequencies or operates the Approved Equipment in a manner which prevents any other user
of the Tower or Tower Site from decoding signal imbedded in their licensed frequencies such that the Spectrum
Enforcement Division makes a determination that the Licensee is the cause of the Interference and Licensee fails or
refuses to mitigate or eliminate the Interference within the time and manner proscribed by the Spectrum
Enforcement Division, Licensee shall be default of this Agreement and the remedies set forth in section 22 shall
apply.

November 22, 2004 (Volume 69, Number 224), Rules and Regulations, Page 67823-67853 (“Final Rule”). Claims
of Interference made by or against users which are public safety entities shall be in compliance with the Final Rule
as and when effective, or otherwise in accordance with FCC Rules and Regulations.
SITE RULES AND REGULATIONS. Licensee agrees to comply with the reasonable rules and regulations established
from time to time at the Tower Site by Licensor, which may be modified by Licensor from time to time upon receipt by
Licensee of such revised rules and regulations. Such rules and regulations will not unreasonably interfere with
Licensee’s use of the Leased Premises under this Agreement.
13. CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION.
(a) Casualty. In the event the Tower or other portions of the Tower Site are destroyed or so damaged so as to
materially interfere with Licensee’s use and occupancy thereof, Licensor or Licensee shall be entitled to elect to
cancel and terminate this Agreement on the date of destruction of that portion of the Tower Site and any unearned
Monthly License Fee paid in advance of such date shall be refunded by Licensor to Licensee within thirty (30) days
of the termination date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor may elect to restore the Tower
Site, in which case Licensee and Licensor shall remain bound hereby but Licensee shall be entitled to an
abatement of the Monthly License Fee during the loss of use. If Licensor elects to restore the Tower Site the
decision to restore must be made, and Licensee notified of the decision, within 30 days from the date of destruction.
The restoration of the Tower Site must be sufficiently completed to allow Licensee to utilize the Tower Site for its
designated purposes within 180 days from the date of destruction. If the Tower Site is not so restored within such
180 day time period, then Licensee’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to
Licensor.
(b) Condemnation. If the whole or a substantial part of the Tower Site shall be taken by any public authority under the
power of eminent domain or in deed or conveyance in lieu of condemnation so as to materially interfere with
Licensee’s use thereof and benefits therefrom, then this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of possession by
such authority of that part, and Licensor or Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and any
unearned Monthly License Fee paid in advance of such termination shall be refunded by Licensor to Licensee
within 30 days following the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor may elect to
rebuild the Tower on an alternate location or property owned, leased or managed by Licensor, in which case
Licensee and Licensor shall remain bound hereby but Licensee shall be entitled to an abatement of Monthly
License Fee during the loss of use. Upon such relocation of the Tower, the Tower Site shall be modified to include
the new Tower and the property on which the new Tower is located and this Agreement shall be amended
accordingly to clarify the rights of Licensor and Licensee with respect to the new Tower Site. Licensee agrees not
to make a claim to the condemning authority for any condemnation award to the extent such claim shall diminish or
affect the award made to Licensor with regard to such condemnation.
14. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Licensor shall be responsible for compliance with any marking and lighting requirements
of the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA) and the FCC applicable to the Tower Site, provided that if the
requirement for compliance results from the presence of the Approved Equipment on the Tower, Licensee shall pay the
costs and expenses therefore (including any lighting automated alarm system so required). Licensee has the
responsibility of carrying out the terms of Licensee’s FCC license with respect to tower light observation and notification
to the FAA if those requirements imposed on Licensee are in excess of those required of Licensor. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Licensee shall at all times comply with all applicable laws and ordinances
and all rules and regulations of municipal, state and federal governmental authorities relating to the installation,
maintenance, location, use, operation, and removal of the Approved Equipment and other alterations or improvements
authorized pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
15. INDEMNIFICATION; INSURANCE. Licensor and Licensee each indemnifies the other against and holds the other
harmless from any and all costs, demands, damages, suits, expenses, or causes of action (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and court costs) which arise out of the use andlor occupancy of the Tower Site by the indemnifying
Party. This indemnity does not apply to any claims arising from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the
indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing indemnity, except for its own acts of gross negligence or intentional
misconduct, Licensor will have no liability for (i) personal injury or death, (ii) loss of revenue sustained by Licensee,
(iii) imperfect communications operations experienced by Licensee for any reason, or (iv) acts of third parties, including
but not limited to other licensees, subtenants, contractors or subcontractors of Licensor. Licensor and Licensee shall
keep in full force and effect, during the Term of this Agreement, insurance coverage in accordance with Exhibit E
attached hereto. Regardless of the foregoing, the Licensor and Licensee agree that the indemnification herein is subject
to Section 768.28, Florida Statutes.
16. LIMITATION OF PARTIES’ LIABILITY. NEITHER LICENSOR NOR LICENSEE SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND
HEREBY WAIVES ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCURRED RESULTING FROM (i)
LICENSEE’S USE OR LICENSEE’S INABILITY TO USE THE TOWER SITE, OR (ii) DAMAGE TO THE OTHER’S A

EQUIPMENT. If Licensor shall fail to perform or observe any term, condition, covenant or obligation required to be
performed or observed by it under this Agreement or is charged with an indemnity obligation hereunder, and if Licensee
shall, as a consequence thereof, recover a money judgment against Licensor (whether compensatory or punitive in
nature), Licensee agrees that it shall look solely to Licensor’s right, title and interest in and to the Tower Site and the
Tower for the collection of such judgment, and Licensee further agrees that no other assets of Licensor shall be subject
to levy, execution or other process for the satisfaction of Licensee’s judgment, and that Licensor shall not be personally
liable for any deficiency.
17. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. LICENSOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ASSOCIATED WITH THE TOWER SITE OR
THE TOWER. LICENSEE HEREBY ACCEPTS THE TOWER SITE “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS.”
18. NOTICES. Any required’or permitted notice or demand shall be made by certified mail, postage prepaid or via nationally
recognized overnight courier service addressed to the other Party at the address set forth on page 1. Either Party may
modify, add, or delete notice addresses from time to time by notice given in accordance with this section. Any notice or
demand shall be deemed to have been given or made the next business day after being deposited in a United States
Post Office or with a private overnight courier service.
19. ASSIGNMENT; SUBLEASING. Licensee may not assign this Agreement as a whole, or any portion of Licensee’s
rights, title and interests hereunder without Licensor’s prior written consent; provided, however, that Licensor‘s consent
will not be required for an assignment to (i) any person or entity which is directly or indirectly (through one or more
subsidiaries) controlled by, controlling or under common control with Licensee, (ii) is the successor or surviving entity by
a merger or consolidation of such entity pursuant to applicable law, or (iii) purchases substantially all the assets of
Licensee (collectively, “Permitted Affiliate”). For the purpose of this section 19, “control” means ownership, directly or
indirectly, of 50% or more of the voting stock, equity or beneficial interest or a general partner of any partnership, and
the ability to effectively control or direct the business of Licensee. In no event may Licensee sublet, sublease, or permit
any other similar use of the Tower Site or Licensed Premises by any other party. Any permitted assignee shall expressly
assume, and become bound by, all of Licensee’s obligations under this Agreement. Licensor may freely assign,
transfer, or sublease this Agreement and, in such event, Licensor shall be relieved of all of its obligations under this
Agreement from and after the date of such assignment, transfer, or sublease. Licensee shall pay Licensor a fee of
$500.00 (which fee shall increase annually on each anniversary of the Commencement Date by a percentage rate
increase equal to the Annual Escalator) in each instance in which Licensee requests Licensor to consent to an
assignment of this Agreement or in which Licensee seeks an estoppel certificate, nondisturbance agreement,
subordination agreement or other similar agreement to defray the administrative cost incurred by Licensor to process
such requests, prepare and process any necessary documentation, and modify its database and other information
systems to reflect any such agreement. Such fee is due upon submission of Licensor’s request and is hereby deemed
fully earned by Licensor upon receipt. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Licensor may condition its consent to
any assignment, on among other things, (i) requiring that the assignee execute a new form of license agreement so long
as the Monthly License Fee and Initial and Renewal Terms of such agreement are consistent with those set forth in this
Agreement, and (ii) requiring the assignee to demonstrate that it maintains at the time of such assignment, as evidenced
by current financial statements provided to Licensor, a financial position reasonably demonstrating the ability of such
assignee to meet and perform the obligations of Licensee hereunder through the unexpired balance of the then current
Initial Term or Renewal Term. Any purported assignment by Licensee in violation of the terms of this Agreement shall be
void. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of both Parties.
20. SUBORDINATION TO GROUND LEASE. The Parties acknowledge and agree that in the event Licensor’s rights in the
Licensed Premises and/or any part of the Tower Site is derived in whole or part pursuant to an underlying lease,
sublease, permit, easement or other right of use agreement (“Ground Lease”), all terms, conditions and covenants
contained in this Agreement shall be specifically subject to and subordinate to the terms and conditions of an applicable
Ground Lease. In the event that any of the provisions of the Ground Lease are in conflict with any of the provisions of
this Agreement (other than those provisions relating to the length of term, termination rights or financial consideration),
the terms of the Ground Lease shall control. Further, Licensee agrees to comply with the terms of such Ground Lease
as applicable to the access and occupancy of the Licensed Premises. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, if the Ground Lease expires or is terminated for any reason, this Agreement shall terminate
on the effective date of such termination and Licensor shall have no liability to Licensee as a result of the termination of
this Agreement. Licensor is under no obligation to extend the term of or renew the Ground Lease. Licensor shall give
Licensee written notice of such termination or expiration of this Agreement as a result of the termination or expiration of
the Ground Lease as soon as practicable. Unless prohibited by the terms of such Ground Lease, upon Licensee’s
written request, Licensor shall provide a copy of any applicable Ground Lease with the economic terms and other terms
that Licensor deems reasonably confidential redacted.
21. DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following instances shall be considered to be a default or a breach of this
Agreement by Licensee: (i) any failure of Licensee to pay the Monthly License Fee, or any other charge for which
Licensee has the responsibility of payment under this Agreement, within 10 business days of the date following written
notice to Licensee from Licensor, or its designee, of such delinquency, it being understood, however, that Licensor is
A

CUSTOMER SITE NAME/ NUMBER: ATC North Palm BeachlNIA
obligated to provide such notice only two times in each calendar year, and the third instance of the failure to pay the
Monthly License Fee or any other charge shall be an immediate default without notice to Licensee if not paid within 10
business days of the date when due; (ii) any failure of Licensee to perform or observe any term, covenant, provision or
condition of this Agreement which failure is not corrected or cured by Licensee within 30 days of receipt by Licensee of
written notice from Licensor, or its designee, of the existence of such a default; except such 30 day cure period shall be
extended as reasonably necessary to permit Licensee to complete a cure so long as Licensee commences the cure
within such 30 day cure period and thereafter continuously and diligently pursues and completes such cure; (iii) failure of
Licensee to abide by the interference provisions as set forth in section 11; (iv) Licensee shall become bankrupt,
insolvent or file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, have an involuntary petition in bankruptcy filed against Licensee
which cannot be or is not dismissed by Licensee within 60 days of the date of the filing of the involuntary petition, file for
reorganization or arrange for the appointment of a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization of all or a
substantial portion of Licensee’s assets, or Licensee makes an assignment for such purposes for the benefit of
creditors; (v) this Agreement or Licensee’s interest herein or Licensee’s interest in the Tower Site are executed upon or
attached; (vi) Licensee commits or fails to perform an act which results in a default under or nonconformance with the
Ground Lease by Licensor and the same shall not be cured within 5 business days (or such shorter time as permitted
under the Ground Lease to cure) of the date following written notice to Licensee from Licensor, or its designee, of such
default; or (vii) the imposition of any lien on the Approved Equipment except as may be expressly authorized by this
License, or an attempt by Licensee or anyone claiming through Licensee to encumber Licensor‘s interest in the Tower
Site, and the same shall not be dismissed or otherwise removed within 10 business days of written notice from Licensor
to Licensee.
22. REMEDIES. In the event of a default or a breach of this Agreement by Licensee and after the Licensee’s failure to cure
the same within the time allowed Licensee to cure such default, if applicable, then Licensor may, in addition to all other
rights or remedies Licensor may have hereunder at law or in equity, (i) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice
to the Licensee, stating the date upon which such termination shall be effective, accelerating and declaring to be
immediately due and payable the then present value of all Monthly License Fees and other charges or fees which would
have otherwise been due Licensor absent a breach of the Agreement by Licensee, discounted by an annual percentage
rate equal to 5%, (ii) terminate electrical power to the Approved Equipment, and/or (iii) remove the Approved Equipment
without being deemed liable for trespass or conversion and store the same at Licensee’s sole cost and expense for a
period of 30 days after which the Approved Equipment, other than Hazardous Materials, will be deemed conclusively
abandoned if not claimed by Licensee. Licensee shall pay all reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, removal and
storage fees (including any damage caused thereby), and other items of cost reasonably incurred by Licensor in
recovering the Monthly License Fee or other fee or charge. Licensee shall not be permitted to claim the Approved
Equipment until Licensor has been reimbursed for removal and storage fees. No endorsement or statement on any
check or letter accompanying a check for payment of any monies due and payable under the terms of this Agreement
shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Licensor may accept such check or payment without prejudice to its
right to recover the balance of such monies or to pursue any other remedy provided by law or in this Agreement.
Licensor shall accept any such partial payment for the account of Licensee. Past due amounts under this Agreement
will bear interest from the date upon which the past due amount was due until the date paid at a rate equal to 18% per
annum, or at a lower rate if required by law in the state in which this Agreement is to be performed. In addition,
Licensee shall be assessed a late payment fee equal to 25% of the then-current Monthly License Fee for any payment
or reimbursement due to Licensor under this Agreement which is overdue by ten (IO) days or more and such fee shall
be assessed for each 30 day period thereafter that any such amount (or portion thereof) remains unpaid.
23. GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS; PERMITS. In the event that any governmental permit, approval or authorization
required for Licensor’s use of, operation of, or right to license space to Licensee at the Tower Site is terminated or
withdrawn by any governmental authority or third party as part of any governmental, regulatory, or legal proceeding,
Licensor may terminate this Agreement. Licensee hereby agrees that in the event of a governmental or legal order
requiring the removal of Licensee’s Approved Equipment from the Tower, the modification of the Tower, or the removal
of the Tower, Licensee shall remove its Approved Equipment promptly, but in no event later than the date required by
such order, at Licensee’s sole cost and expense. Licensor shall cooperate with Licensee in Licensee’s efforts to obtain
any permits or other approvals that may be necessary for Licensee’s installation and operation of the Approved
Equipment, provided that Licensor shall not be required to expend any funds or undertake any liability or obligation in
connection with such cooperation. Licensor may elect to obtain such required approvals or permits on Licensee’s behalf,
at Licensee’s sole cost and expense. In no event may Licensee encourage, suggest, participate in or permit the
imposition of any restrictions or additional obligations whatsoever on the Tower Site or Licensor’s current or future use
or ability to license space at the Tower Site as part of or in exchange for obtaining any such approval or permit. In the
event that Licensee’s shelter or cabinets are installed above a third-party or Licensor-owned shelter or building,
Licensee shall be solely responsible for obtaining any required approvals, or permits in connection with such shelter or
cabinet installation, excepting the consent of other users at the Tower Site and/or the Ground Landlord which shall
remain the sole responsibility of Licensor where required.
24. REPLACEMENT OF TOWER/RELOCATION OF APPROVED EQUIPMENT
A
wIICIILII0w.I
(a) Replacement of Tower. Licensor may, at its election, replace or rebuild the Tower or a portion thereof. Such
replacement will (i) be at Licensor’s sole cost and (ii) not result in an interruption of Licensee’s communications
12
11115v9
ATC SITE NAME / NUMBER: North Palm Beach, FU303100
CUSTOMER SITE NAME/ NUMBER: ATC North Palm Beach/N/A
services beyond that which is necessary to replace the new Tower. Licensee may establish a temporary facility on
the Tower Site to provide such services as Licensee deems necessary during any such construction by Licensor so long
as adequate space is then available. The location of such temporary facilities shall be subject to Licensor‘s approval. At
the request of either Party, Licensor and Licensee shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to clarify the
rights of Licensor and Licensee to the new Tower Site.
(b) Relocation of Approved Equipment. Intentionally omitted
25. EMMISIONS. If antenna power output (“RF Emissions”) is presently or hereafter becomes subject to any restrictions
imposed by the FCC or other governmental agency for RF Emissions standards on Maximum Permissible Exposure
(“MPE”) limits, or if the Tower Site otherwise becomes subject to federal, state or local rules, regulations, restrictions or
ordinances, Licensee shall comply with Licensor’s reasonable requests for modifications to the Approved Equipment
which are reasonably necessary for Licensor to comply with such limits, rules, regulations, restrictions or ordinances and
Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all other licensees of the Tower Site to promptly comply. If
Licensor requires an engineering evaluation or other power density study be performed to evaluate RF Emissions
compliance with MPE limits, then all reasonable costs of such an evaluation or study shall be paid proportionately by
Licensee and all other licensees of the Tower within 30 days of Licensor’s request therefor. If said study or a study
sponsored by any governmental agency indicates that RF Emissions at the Tower Site do not comply with MPE limits,
then Licensee and Licensor, each for itself, shall immediately take any and all steps necessary to ensure that it is
individually in compliance with such limits, up to and including cessation of operation, until a maintenance program or
other mitigating measures can be implemented to comply with MPE and in addition, Licensor shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause all other licensees of the Tower to take similar steps necessary to ensure that they are
individually in compliance with such limits.
26. ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Licensee. Licensee, its heirs, grantees, successors, and assigns shall indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold
harmless Licensor from and against any and all environmental damages, caused by activities conducted on the
Tower Site by Licensee, and (i) arising from the presence of any substance, chemical or waste identified as
hazardous, toxic or dangerous in any applicable federal, state or local law or regulation including petroleum or
hydrocarbon based fuels such as diesel, propane or natural gas (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) upon, about
or beneath the Tower Site or migrating to or from the Tower Site, or (ii) arising in any manner whatsoever out of its
or its contractors, subcontractors, employees and agents violation of any environmental requirements pertaining to
the Tower Site and any of their activities thereon. Licensee covenants that it shall not nor shall Licensee allow its
employees, agents or independent contractors to use, treat, store or dispose of any Hazardous Materials on the
Licensed Premises or the Tower Site.
(b) Licensor. Licensor, its grantees, successors, and assigns shall indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold harmless
Licensee from and against any and all environmental damages arising from (i) the presence of Hazardous Materials
upon, about or beneath the Tower Site or migrating to or from the Tower Site, or (ii) arising in any manner
whatsoever out of the violation of any environmental requirement pertaining to the Tower Site and any activities
thereon, either of which conditions came into existence prior to the execution of this Agreement and are solely
attributable to activities conducted on the Tower Site by Licensor.
Survivorship. The provisions of this section 26 shall expressly survive any termination or expiration of this
Agreement. (c)
27. SUBROGATION.
(a) Waiver. Licensor and Licensee waive all rights against each other and any of their respective consultants and
contractors, agents and employees, for damages caused by perils to the extent covered by the proceeds of the
insurance provided herein, except such rights as they may have to the insurance proceeds. All insurance policies
required under this Agreement shall contain a waiver of subrogation provision under the terms of which the
insurance carrier of a Party waives all of such carrier’s rights to proceed against the other Party. Licensee’s
insurance policies shall provide such waivers of subrogation by endorsement. The Licensee shall require by
appropriate agreements, written where legally required for validity, similar waivers from its contractors and
subcontractors. A waiver of subrogation shall be effective as to a person or entity even though that person or entity
would otherwise have a duty of indemnification, contractual or otherwise, did not pay the insurance premium directly
or indirectly, and whether or not the person or entity had an insurable interest in the property damaged.
(b) Mutual Release. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Licensor and Licensee each release
the other and its respective affiliates, employees and representatives from any claims by them or any one claiming
through or under them by way of subrogation or otherwise for damage to any person or to the Tower Site and to the
fixtures, personal property, improvements and alterations in or on the Tower Site that are caused by or result from
risks insured against under any insurance policy carried by each and required by this Agreement, provided that

Ref: Price Quote - rebanding upgradedadditional radio purchase
Dear Kevin,
MIA-COM, Inc. is pleased to provide the attached price quote to the City of Palm Beach Gardens for
$516,770, which includes both the price to upgrade the Sprint-Nextel rebanding radios and the
additional radio purchases required by Palm Beach Gardens PD. To explain briefly, Sprint-Nextel is
providing replacement radios through the FCC mandated rebanding process. These replacement
radios are incapable of working on the newly installed MPSCC infrastructure and therefore, M/A-COM
is offering an upgrade towards the purchase of the correct model of radios that will operate on the new
radio system.
Thank you for your consideration of the attached price quotes and if you have any questions, please
feel free to call me at any time. Ph. 81 3-240-6619
Sincerely,
David Jacobs
Area Sales Manager

Resolution 35,2008
BACKGROUND:
The M/A-COM radio system will be our primary dispatch system and will be in use on a
24/7 basis by Public Safety first responder agencies. Additionally, interoperability with
other citiedagencies is one of our major goals in public safety communications for
emergencies and for day to day operations. This radio system can achieve that with any
city/agency that desires to interface with the system. This can be realized with their
legacy mobile and portables radios or with MIA-COM radios that give expanded
functionally.
The cost of radio project infrastructure for the three cities of the Municipal Public Safety
Communications Consortium (MPSCC) is $4,900,000 and our City’s share of the
infrastructure was $676,200, plus local tower site work of approximately $85,000 Total
project cost $761,200. Through the traffic citation legislation and a County resolution,
Palm Beach County has to date reimbursed $455,330 to Palm Beach Gardens. Net
Infrastructure cost is $305,870.
The radio system is expected to become operational in 90 days. It is the responsibility
of each city to supply radios to their officers to access the new radio system. Our radio
needs are for 125 mobile radios and 140 portable radios. The total radios being
purchased on this agenda item are 96 mobile radios and 140 portables. The cost of the
radios is $925,845 less $409,075 from Nextel. Our radio cost is $516,770, to be
purchased out of the Police Impact Fund budget. The Nextel funds came from our
negotiations with them for the cost of rebanding and replacement of radios, required by
the Federal Communication Commission (FCC).This was to replace radios on the old
radio system, however, they agreed to the savings being applied to radios on the new
radio system. The expected life of the new radio system is 15 to 20 years.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the approval of Resolution 35,2008, for the purchase of the mobile and
portable radio from MIA-COM for the radio system.
