The agenda for the June 24th meeting of the Putnam County Commission listed only two items, “Assignment and Assumption Agreement” and “Site Lease Agreement.” Both items involved a single parcel of real estate which is the home of a 180-foot communications tower on Harvey Creek in southern Putnam County near Hamlin.

After considering comments from County Attorney Larry Frye, the commission voted to assume the lease held by American Messaging Services LLC on the tower property and then voted to enter into a site lease agreement with owners Brian and Nancy Eplin.
