WHEREAS, Ingham County has been licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to operate on several frequencies for a multi-site enhancement to the Ingham County Public Safety Radio Communications System; and

WHEREAS, representatives from Lansing Community College (LCC) have requested that Ingham County transfer this unused license to LCC for their use.

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners hereby authorizes the transfer of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license,WQGY717, to Lansing Community College for their use for public safety purposes contingent upon LCC being authorized to have a license by the Federal Communications Commission.

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Lansing Community College will be responsible for all costs necessary for the licensing process.
