1 other state government-owned property, leases shall be granted
2 on a space available, first-come, first-served basis as

7 deficiencies which must be cured. To be effective, a waiver of
8 any timeframe set forth herein must be voluntarily agreed to

15 waived, the application shall be deemed automatically approved
16 and the applicant may proceed with placement of such
17 facilities without interference or penalty.

19 failure to act by a local government which is inconsistent
20 with this subsection may bring an action in a court of
21 competent jurisdiction within 30 days after the action or the
22 failure to act. The court shall consider the matter on an
23 expedited basis.
24 (f) Any wireless telephone service provider may report

27 where the provider has experienced unreasonable delay to
28 locate wireless telecommunications facilities necessary to
29 provide the needed coverage for compliance with federal Phase
30 II E911 requirements using its own network. The provider shall
31 also provide this information to the specifically identified

1 county or municipality no later than September 1, 2003. Unless
2 the board receives no report that unreasonable delays have
3 occurred, the board shall, no later than September 30, 2003,
4 establish a subcommittee responsible for developing a balanced
5 approach between the ability of providers to locate wireless
6 facilities necessary to comply with federal Phase II E911
7 requirements using the carrier's own network and the desire of
8 counties and municipalities to zone and regulate land uses to
9 achieve public welfare goals. If a subcommittee is
10 established, it shall include representatives from the Florida
11 Telecommunications Industry Association, the Florida
12 Association of Counties, and the Florida League of Cities. The
13 subcommittee shall be charged with developing recommendations
14 for the board and any specifically identified municipality or

17 annual report due to the Governor and the Legislature by
18 February 28, 2004, the board shall include any recommendations
19 developed by the subcommittee to address compliance with
20 federal Phase II E911 requirements.
21 (13) PRIOR APPROVAL REQUIREMENT.--It is the intent of
22 this act to assure the safety of employees, passengers, and
23 freight at airports, as defined in s. 330.27(2) and not to
24 require the placement at any airport of any wireless
25 communication facility unless approved by the airport.
26 Therefore, this section does not require the governing
27 authority of any airport to make available any site, space, or
28 facility owned or controlled by such airport to a service
29 provider for the location or collocation of any tower or
30 wireless communication facility, except on such terms and with
31 such limitation as the governing authority of such airport may

1 deem safe and appropriate. This section also does not affect
2 an airport governing authority's power or authority to manage,
3 control, or provide communications services, which include,
4 but are not limited to, wired, cellular, wireless, and
5 Internet services, information services, and data-related
6 services for any facility owned or controlled by the airport.
7 This section does not affect an airport governing authority's
8 power or authority to recover costs or generate revenue from
9 communications services provided on the airport.
10 Section 3. Section 253.0342, Florida Statutes, is
11 created to read:

1 wireless facilities.

8 given for the potential of collocating any proposed facility
9 with existing linear facilities, buildings or other
10 structures.
11 (5) Upon determination that a site is both available
12 and suitable for lease, the Department of Management Services
13 may negotiate a lease agreement with the wireless service
14 provider. A copy of any lease agreement shall be provided to
15 the lead managing agency or site owner.
16 (6) All leases entered into under this section shall
17 restrict use of sites by wireless service providers to those
18 uses directly related to provisions of wireless communications
19 service. Use of the site by the wireless communications
20 service provider shall be carried out and maintained in a
21 manner consistent with existing uses (including conservation
22 uses), leases, and the public health and safety.
23 (7)(a) Lease agreements proposed by the Department of
24 Management Services for lands titled to the Board of Trustees
25 of Internal Improvement Trust Fund shall be submitted to the
26 Division of State Lands. Such agreements shall be presumed to
27 be approved unless the Secretary of the Department or one or
28 more members of the Board request that they be placed on an
29 agenda for approval or denial by the Board. The secretary or
30 the Board member must notify the Department of Management
31 Services within 30 days of receipt of the proposed agreement
