Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING

Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Troy Adams, P.E. —General Manager

MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER:
May 20, 2014 2.4
SUBJECT:
Verizon Non-Exclusive Tower Attachment Lease Agreements
DISCUSSION:
Staff has been working with legal counsel and our engineering consultants reviewing non-
exclusive tower attachment lease agreements for Verizon. The agreements are for attachments to
ERMU's Gary Street Water Tower and Johnson Street Water Tower. The process included
standardization so as other wireless providers inquire about attaching to ERMU's towers, we will
be able to more effectively manage the provision of the agreements. The agreements and
construction plans have passed review and are acceptable to staff and legal counsel.
The agreements provide for a 5 year initial term lease with consideration of a $30,000 annual
lease payment for the first year with a 4% increase for each additional year. The lease has a
provision for four renewals of 5 year terms each. These provisions are similar to the non-
exclusive tower attachment lease agreements that ERMU has with Sprint.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff requests the Commission approve the attached Verizon Non-Exclusive Tower Attachment
Lease Agreements.

hereto(the "P iperty") and designated by the Lessee as MIN-Vieths; and
WHE 'I'EAS, Lessor has adopted a Policy Statement Regarding the use of Lessor's
Property for II ommunication Antennas and Towers (the "Policy Statement"), which Policy
Statement pro I ides, among other things, that priority in the location of communication facilities
on Lessor's P 1•perty shall be given to Lessor, to public safety agencies, to other governmental
agencies, and 1• private entities, in that order; and
WHE EAS, Lessee desires to lease from Lessor certain designated space on the Water

WHE EAS, Lessor desires to lease certain designated space for Lessee's Equipment on
the Water To -r, provided Lessee's Equipment does not interfere with Lessor's daily operations
and maintena e of the Water Tower, and provided further that Lessee will defend, indemnify
and hold Les.•r harmless from and against any and all damages caused by the installation,
operation and aintenance of the Equipment.
NOW, HEREFORE, for and in consideration of the terms and mutual promises herein
contained, an• for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby ac Ii owledged, Lessor and Lessee agree as follows.
1. Grant if Lease
Lessor hereby grants to Lessee the right to install, maintain, and operate on, and to
remove com nication equipment from, the Water Tower, and also grants certain easements
(the "Easeme s") over the Property for ingress, egress and utilities, during the Initial Term and
any Renewal terms, as those terms are hereinafter defined. The Easements shall be as shown on
Exhibit B attached hereto. The Equipment shall be as described on Exhibit C attached hereto
and shall be 1•C ated as shown on Exhibit C. Neither the location nor the extent of the Easements
or the Equipment shall be changed without the prior written consent of Lessor.
2. Use

improve utilit •s on the Property over the Easements. The Equipment, including the number,
location and `ounting height of all antennas, and the size and location of all other Equipment,
shall be as d:scribed on Exhibit C and shall be installed only as depicted and shown on
Exhibit C. E ibits B and C may be amended by Lessee, from time to time, without amending
this Lease, bu I only with the written approval of the Lessor, which approval may be conditioned
42
or withheld by Lessor in Lessor's sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may
make non-material modifications to Lessee's Equipment without consent, including but not
limited to maintenance, repairs, like-kind or similar replacements of Equipment, provided none
of the modified or replaced Equipment is larger than the Equipment approved by Lessor.
If installation of the Equipment requires relocation of existing communication equipment
(to include coax cable, antennae, brackets, hardware, etc.) owned by other communication
carriers, Lessee shall be responsible for obtaining the consent of such carriers and all costs and
labor associated with these modifications shall be the responsibility of the Lessee and shall be
considered to be an integral part of this Lease. Any agreements among various communication
carriers associated with these modifications shall be the responsibility of the Lessee. Lessee
shall defend, indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from any claim made by such other carriers as
a result of Lessee's acts or omissions.
Prior to the installation of any Equipment, all installation plans, including plans for the
attachment of Lessee's equipment, for the relocation of existing equipment owned by other
carriers, for any modifications to the Water Tower, and for the installation of any personal
property owned by the Lessee that is to be located on the Property or attached to the Water
Tower, must be approved by Lessor, which approval may be conditioned or withheld by Lessor
in Lessor's sole discretion. Lessor may also require proof of Lessee's ability to pay for all work
to be performed on the Property, prior to the commencement of such work by Lessee or Lessee's
contractors.
Any personal property owned by Lessee, whether fixed or attached to the Property or the
Water Tower, shall remain the exclusive property of Lessee, and the risk of loss to same will be
solely Lessee's. No Equipment shall be permanently attached or welded to the Water Tower
without Lessor's prior written approval. If welded attachments are approved, Lessee shall be
responsible for the cost of replacing interior or exterior tank coatings that are damaged by
welding. All replacement of coatings shall meet the exact specifications of the existing tank
coating, be performed by contractor's approved in advance by Lessor, and be completed within
thirty (30) days of the time that welding on the tank occurs. All costs associated with the new
coatings, to include operational costs (i.e., draining elevated tank), shall be paid on demand by
Lessee.
Lessor grants Lessee limited access to the Water Tower and the Property for the purpose
of installing, operating and maintaining the Equipment. Access to the Water Tower shall be
limited to such access as Lessor's authorized representative shall approve, in writing, which
access shall be consistent with Lessee's need to install, operate and maintain the Equipment and
Lessor's need to operate and maintain the Water Tower. Lessor shall have its personnel on site at
any time Lessee is accessing the Water Tower, and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for Lessor's
costs to have its personnel on site, including Lessor's on-call or overtime costs if Lessor's
personnel are required to be on the site at times other than normal business hours. Lessee shall

unless an employee if Lessor is present. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall have
unrestricted access to its Equipment located on the ground space at all times.
