Motion was seconded by Council Member _ _ _ _ _ __ and upon roll call on the motion the vote was as follows : YEA NAY Barbara Gaines Mike Radzik Mike Smith Randolph Waite Evelyn Wilson bject Property SECO Application 2021-13 - Special Exception- Groveland District Office To demonstrate how this application to increase tower height at this location will assist and benefit in public safety and to the public: Electric generation and distribution utilities are some of, if not the most important infrastructure systems in our country, as we all are heavily reliant on systems that require electricity to operate. Sumter Electric Cooperative, Inc. (SECO) provides electric utility services to all the businesses, residents, government facilities, public safety agencies, public safety agency communication systems, hospitals, and other critical infrastructure in the City of Groveland. The proposed communications tower will allow SECO to upgrade their existing voice and data communications systems to modern redundant ones. These state-of-the-art systems will allow SECO to implement new and emerging technologies with regards to monitoring and maintaining the electric supply to all the end users. Furthermore, during the times of natural disaster such as hurricane events in Central Florida, coordination and communication between many differing agencies is necessary to restore all things in our day to day lives to "normal". The planned upgraded communications systems will facilitate potential seamless communication between SECO crews, and all other agencies involved in disaster recovery efforts. Finally, SECO's new upgraded communications systems will allow them "to control their destiny" meaning they will not need to rely on commercial providers of communications which are subject to fail when needed the most. This ability to manage and maintain their own critical communications systems gives all the residents of Groveland a little extra piece of mind that the next time the power is knocked out SECO restoration crews will be able to coordinate these restoration efforts in a much more efficient and orderly fashion. In closing, if approved by the City, the tower will allow other users, such as government agencies or commercial carriers the potential to co-locate on this tower. The tower is designed to allow up to three third party attachments. This would benefit the City's public safety divisions and the public if the City is wanting to consider allowing attachments to the tower in the future.
