a. Resolution R2023-023—A Resolution Approving A Letter of Intent to Enter into a Land Lease with U.S. Cellular for a Telecommunication Tower on 2,500 Square Feet on the DeKalb County Highway Department Campus, DeKalb, Illinois.
County Staff actively works to find ways to generate revenue from sources that offset the burden on taxpayers. An opportunity has been identified to lease 2,500 square feet (50ft by 50ft) of property on the DeKalb Highway Department Campus to U.S. Cellular so that they may install a telecommunication tower. The Letter of Intent is the first step in the process, which allows County Staff to further explore this opportunity. If this resolution were to pass, an executable lease would be forthcoming.
b. Resolution R2023-034—A Resolution Approving a Five-Year Extension of Life Safety Inspection Services for the DeKalb County Jail from Johnson Controls.
The proposed life safety contract includes a quarterly sprinkler inspection, annual testing of all the heat and smoke detectors, and an annual inspection of the fire pump at the DeKalb County Jail. This Proposal would extend the County’s current contract with Johnson Controls for five years with a seven percent cost increase in the annual as represented below:
The total proposed cost of the extension is $112,774.89 over the five-year term. The County Board previously approved Resolution R2023-003 which approved a five-year contract for life safety inspections at the Courthouse, Public Safety Building, Administration Building, Legislative Center, Community Outreach Building, Health Department and Multi-Purpose Room.
