RE: Letter of support from AT&T regarding proposed new tower construction by CitySwitch II -A, LLC
("CitySwitch") at Parcel: 31637350160001100010, 1117 NW 9th St. Okeechobee, FL, 34972
Tower ID:15611191
To Whom It May Concern,
I manage AT&T's High Rent Relocation program, under which AT&T identifies high -cost, economically
burdensome site leases that accommodate AT&T's communications equipment. My Team selectively
relocates AT&T communications equipment onto lower -cost locations, while either improving or
maintaining wireless coverage.
AT&T currently leases space on thousands of towers nationwide. Leases typically have a duration of five
or ten years, after which we have the option to renew. AT&T maintains a co -location agreement with SBA
for the current tower, in which SBA can and does sharply increase the rent, assesses other one-time costs
and poses unacceptable logistical issues whenever AT&T replaces or adds new equipment. If CitySwitch
is permitted to build the required tower, as we request, AT&T intends to relocate onto it. The current SBA
tower in Okeechobee, FL is economically burdensome for AT&T and would not result in the same cost-
effective operation as compared to what AT&T could achieve if it relocated on the local CitySwitch tower.
By sharply reducing its tower costs, AT&T is better positioned to invest in other new towers for improved
coverage, and fund critical initiatives, such as FirstNet, for emergency response, 5G support, and other new
technologies — all to the benefit of the community.
AT&T will only consider decommissioning an existing wireless facility in favor of moving to an alternate
tower in limited circumstances. We bear a significant capital cost whenever we decommission a wireless
facilities installation. As a result, on behalf of AT&T, we request your support in approving the new tower.
Sincerely,
Matt Hannah
