Background and Rationale

body

Ramsey County Emergency Communications lease space from the City of White Bear Lake for an equipment shelter located at the White Bear Lake water tower. The lease for the use of this space is expiring and Emergency Communications needs board approval to extend the agreement.

 

Emergency Communications owns, operates, and maintains seven radios sites that support the Allied Radio Matrix for Emergency Response. The White Bear Lake water tower is part of that radio system that supports the public safety communications system.  The City of White Bear Lake and the Ramsey County Director of Emergency Communications supports extending the lease at this location at no cost to the county.
