RE:
Cell Tower Lease Agreement with T-Mobile
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following motion:
"The City Council approves the Water Tower Antennae Agreement with T-
Mobile for the purposes of installing a cellular telephone antenna on the
downtown water tower."
This action requires a simple majority of the City Council for approval.
BACKGROUND
Staff has been contacted by representatives from T-Mobile Wireless regarding the
installation of cellular phone antennae on the Downtown (500 W. 76th St.) water
tower. This tower already has cellular antennae, and the addition of aT-Mobile
antennae would help generate revenue for the City and provide better service for
T -Mobile Wireless customers while not impacting the operations of the water
tower.
The key points of the agreement are as follows:
. The term of the lease is for five years, beginning on the earlier of
December 1, 2008 or the date construction begins. The lease can be
extended for up to 20 years (four renewal terms of five years each).
. Rent for the first term is $1,650/month. This amount increases by 3% in
each successive renewal term. This rent structure is similar to other cell
leases in the City.
. Any taxes levied on the property due to the antennae will be paid by T-
Mobile.
. Any expenses incurred by the City due to the antennae will be reimbursed
by T-Mobile.
. The agreement may be terminated by the City if the water tower no longer
becomes needed, or if a higher priority user (such as a City or public
safety use) is needed.
. . All plan review and installation inspections will be conducted byKLM
Engineering. T -Mobile will reimburse the City for all costs associated
with these services.

A. Upon paying the Rent as required herein, Tenant shall have the right to the non-exclusive
use of the Water Tower and Property as permitted in this Agreement. City in no way
guarantees to Tenant noninterference with Tenant's transmission operations, provided,
however, that in the event any other party except a high priority user requests permission
to place any type of additional antennas or transmission facility on the Property, the
procedures of Paragraph lID shall govern to determine whether such antennas or
transmission facility will interfere with Tenant's transmission operations.
10. Interference Caused By Antennas. Tenant's Equipment shall be installed and operated in a
manner which does not cause interference or otherwise impair the quality of the communication
services being rendered by the following higher priority users: (1) City and (2) public safety
agencies including law enforcement, fire, and ambulance services, that are not part of the City;
and (3) other governmental agencies where use is not related to public safety.
11. Interference with Antenna Operations.
A. Temporary Interruptions of Service. If the City determines, in its reasonable discretion,
that continued operation of the Antennas would cause or contribute to an immediate
material threat to public health and/or safety (except for any issues associated with
human exposure to radio frequency emissions, which are regulated solely by the federal
government), the City may order Tenant to discontinue its operations. Tenant shall
immediately comply with such an order. Service shall be discontinued only for the period
that the immediate threat exists. If the City does not give prior notice to Tenant, the City
shall notify Tenant as soon as possible after its action and give its reason for taking the
action. The City shall not be liable to Tenant or any other party for any interruption in
Tenant's operation of its Antennas or Equipment, except as may be caused by the
negligence or willful misconduct of the City, its employees, contractors or agents. In any
event, the City's liability shall not extend beyond the obligation to repair the cause of the
interruption or interference. If the discontinuance extends for a period greater than three
(3) business days, Tenant's sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement within its
sole discretion.
B. With Structure. Tenant shall not interfere with City's use of the Water Tower or Property
and agrees to cease all such actions which unreasonably and materially interfere with
City's use thereof no later than three (3) business days after receipt of written notice of
the interference from City. In the event that Tenant's cessation of action is material to
Tenant's use of the Water Tower and Property and such cessation frustrates Tenant's use
of the Water Tower and Property, within Tenant's sole discretion, Tenant shall have the
immediate right to terminate this Agreement.
C. With Higher Priority Users. If Tenant's Equipment causes impermissible interference
with the parties identified in Paragraph 10 above or with pre-existing tenants, Tenant
shall take all measures necessary to correct and eliminate the interference. If the
interference cannot be eliminated within 48 hours after receiving City's written notice of
the interference, Tenant shall immediately cease operating its Antennas and shall not
reactivate operation, except intermittent operation for the purpose of testing, until the
interference has been eliminated. If the interference cannot be eliminated within thirty
(30) days after Tenant received City's written notice, City may at its option terminate this
Agreement immediately.
D. Interference Study - New Occupants. Upon written notice by City that is has a bona fide
request from any other party to lease an area including or in close proximity to the Water
Tower and Property, Tenant agrees to provide City, within twenty (20) days, the radio
frequencies currently in operation or to be operated in the future of each transmitter and
receiver installed and operational on the Water Tower and Property at the time of such
request. City may then have an independent registered professional engineer of City's
choosing perform the necessary interference studies to determine if the new applicant's
frequencies will cause harmful radio interference to Tenant. City shall require the new
applicant to pay for such interference studies. Except for those parties and entities
identified in Paragraph 10, City agrees that it will not grant a future lease in the Water
Tower and Property to any party if such party's use is reasonably anticipated to interfere
with Tenant's operation of its Antennas or Equipment.
E. Initial Study. Before obtaining a building permit, Tenant must pay for the reasonable cost
of (i) a radio frequency interference study carried out by an independent and qualified
professional selected by the City showing that the Tenant Antennas use will not interfere
with any existing communication facilities; and (ii) an engineering study showing that the
Water Tower is able to support the Antennas and Equipment, as referred to in Exhibit B
hereto, without prejudice to the City's use of the Water Tower. If the study finds that
there is a potential for interference that cannot be easily remedied or for prejudice to the
Water Tower, the City may terminate this Agreement immediately and refund any
prepaid Rent to Tenant. The City shall order such studies promptly upon its receipt of the
application of Tenant for a building permit, and shall cause the same to be completed as
soon as reasonably possible. If the City decides to exercise its termination right under
this Subparagraph lIE, then the City shall give Tenant written notice of such termination
within ten (10) days after receipt by the City of the last of such studies, which notice shall
specify the condition disclosed by either such study upon which the City is basing the
exercise as such right and shall include the refund of such prepaid rent.
12. Future Development. Tenant understands and acknowledges that the City may utilize the
Property for public use at some future date, and that the design and manner of such uses shall be
in the sole discretion of the City. In the event City undertakes such use, then the City and Tenant
agree to cooperate with one another as necessary to facilitate both parties' use of the Property.
13. Indemnity.
a. General. Tenant agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless City and its elected
officials, officers, employees, agents, and representatives, from and against any and all claims,
costs, losses, expenses, demands, actions or causes of action, including reasonable attorneys'
fees and other costs and expenses of litigation, which may be asserted against or incurred by
the City or for which the City may be liable in the performance of this Agreement, except those
which arise solely from the negligence, willful misconduct, or other fault of the City, its
employees, agents or contractors. Tenant shall defend all claims arising out of the installation,
operation, use maintenance, repair, removal, or presence of Tenant's Antennas, Equipment and
related facilities on the Property.
b.Tenant's Warranty. Tenant represents and warrants that its use of the Water Tower, Property
and Equipment will not generate and Tenant will not store or dispose of on the Property, nor

the existence of Hazardous Materials on the Property in violation of any law or regulation. The
obligations of this Paragraph 13 shall survive the expiration or other termination of this
Agreement.
14. Damage to the Water Tower or to the Property. Tenant's installation, operation, maintenance,
modification, and removal of the Antennas and Equipment shall not damage or interfere in any
way with the Property or the Water Tower operations or related repair and maintenance
activities. If the activities of Tenant, or those of its agents, representative, employees,
contractors, or subcontractors, cause such damage or interference, Tenant will cure damage or
interference within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice or, if the default may not
reasonably be cured within a 3D-day period, Tenant must commence an action to cure the default
within a 3D-day period and proceed with due diligence to fully cure the default. If the Tenant
fails to cure such damage or interference, the City without further notice may take such steps as
it deems necessary to repair the damage or remedy the interference, at the sole cost and expense
of Tenant.
15. Casualty. If any portion of the Property, Water Tower or Antennas are damaged by any casualty
and such damage materially and adversely affects Tenant's use of the Water Tower or Property,
Tenant may give thirty (30) days' notice of its intention to terminate this Agreement, in which
case the Agreement will terminate on the date specified in such notice and except as otherwise
provided herein, neither party will have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement.
Such notice must be given within fifteen (15) days of notice of the casualty.
16. Quiet Enjoyment. Tenant, upon paying Rent, shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy
the Premises and Water Tower. If, as of the date of execution of this Agreement or hereafter,
there is any mortgage, or other encumbrance affecting the City's Property or Water Tower, then
City agrees to obtain from the holder of such encumbrance an Agreement that Tenant shall not
be disturbed in its possession, use and enjoyment of the Property and Water Tower. The City
shall not cause or permit any use of the Property which interferes with or impairs the quality of
the communication services being rendered by Tenant from the Property.
