Maybe now that Nextel is paying more lawyers for another year and half, they'll get 'em to hurry up!

DATE: March 17,2009
RECOMMENDATION: I RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS APPROVE THE ATTACHED CONTRACT WITH SPECIAL COUNSEL FOR HOURLY LEGAL SERVICES RELATING TO THE REALIGNMENT OF COUNTY RADIO FREQUENCIES.
DISCUSSION: On May 16, 2006, the Board of County Commissioners entered into a contract
with Miller and Van Eaton, P.L.L.C. for legal services associated with the "rebanding" of certain
radio frequencies in the 800 MHz public safety band. The expense of this representation was to
be borne by SprintfNextel in accordance with the FCC order transferring the frequencies. The
rebanding process has taken somewhat longer than anticipated and it is necessary to up date the
agreement to extend the expiration date. The new agreement will run until December 31,2010,
or notification that all actions necessary to complete the rebanding process have been performed.
There should be no expense associated with this agreement as this cost will be paid for by
SprintfNextel. Any additional work will be at the expense of the County, only upon specific
authorization.
JLB:RCS
800ta.org listed the following frequencies for pinellas. some are the upper band of ridgecrest minus 15, others are new. the website shows that many lower band freq. will remain the same or change. as the wiki rebanding page indicates, nobody may know until it is programmed in finally. Not even sure what the frequencies below are supposed to be for, but the ones listed for hillsborough are the current ones (east and west sites) with the new 5 on the west site.
We need to find someone who is "in the know"!
