Recommendation

Approval is requested to execute a Frequency Reconfiguration Agreement for the \n \n Medical Center with the Sprint Nextel for the purpose of swapping 800 Megahertz \n \n frequencies as mandated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

Approval

Approved

Background

The Medical Center Authority has an 800 MHz radio license Call Sign WPDQ379

with the FCC. As required by the FCC, the Medical Center executed a Frequency

Reconfiguration Agreement on January 23, 2006. The FCC has required that the

Agreement be amended and executed by the City since the FCC license is listed

as "City of Columbus Medical Center."

Analysis

The amended Frequency Reconfiguration Agreement simply changes the government

entity name from "City of Columbus Medical Center" to "Columbus, Georgia a

consolidated city/county government".

Financial Considerations

This agreement is between the Medical Center Authority and Sprint Nextel with

no expenses incurred by the City of Columbus.

Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement

Legal Considerations

The execution of this agreement requires Council confirmation.

Recommendations/ Actions

Approve the execution of the Frequency Reconfiguration Agreement for the

Medical Center.
