Deerfield Beach Does Own City Hall And Leases Out The Tower And Earns Money

Deerfield-News.com-Deerfield Beach, Fl-According to one of the fastest public record request I have ever had answered the city of Deerfield Beach says no records exist for the costs involved in today’s clock repair. This is not the first time we have received the “no records exist” answer, but if we have to go to court to force production we will. Below is the most recent email Deerfield-News received from the city of Deerfield Beach in regards to the clock.

“The clock tower repairs are not the responsibility of the City. They are the responsibility of the lessee,  Crown Castle.” from Asst City manager David Santucci.

Does Deerfield Beach lease out city hall and then lease it back? Ok, the city of Deerfield Beach entered into a lease of the “Tower” for cell phone use in 1998.

Who is “Crown Castle”?  Not sure it appears the successor to Sprint who is named in the lease provided in our lease request.

The tower actually generates cash flow for the city!

We will follow up public records request with the water tower on Powerline Road hopefully the city is earning some money there too.

Sir,
The clock tower repairs are not the responsibility of the City. They are the responsibility of the Leasee, Crown Castle.
Regards,
Dave Santucci

Mr.Santucci,

Are you saying that the city is or will not pay anything for the clock repair, the use of the crane etc? Or that at this moment in time you do not have this information, certain information exists.

Not producing Public Records can be a crime.

Govern Yourself Accordingly.
