RE: AT &T Water Tower Lease
Dear Tom: -
I understand that at the last Public Utilities 'Commission meeting, several questions were raised
about the proposed lease between the City and AT &T for the lease of space on the City's water
tower. - - -
You have provided me with copies of a number of water tower lease agreements from other cities
which were provided by one of the commissioners. At your request, I have reviewed those
agreements to determine whether it would be advantageous to incorporate some of the lease
terms from those agreements into Rosemount's agreement.
'fh ret. of the primary issues raised were lease term, number of antennas, and amount of rent.
AT &T will be providing further information about the need for a long term lease agreement. It
has been my understanding in dealing with water tower leases in Rosemount and in other cities
that it is not practicable for telecommunications providers to enter into short term lease
agreements. The proposed lease with AT &T is consistent with the lease terms of other contracts
with which I have been familiar in the past. In fact, the lease term in this agreement is relatively
short by some standards. The proposed lease provides for an initial term of five years with an
option to renew for an additional two five -year terms for .a. total of 15 years.. The lease
agreements -which were .. provided ;
by'-the commissioner provide for .total lease , terms, . with
extensions, of 25 years for the Edina/US West lease, 20 years for the Edina/APT lease, and'25
years for the DeForrest/PRUvIECO lease. RECFiv-®

Mr. Tom Burt

The second issue raised was the number of antennas. In the past, I have not seen leases which
vary significantly in lease terms as a result of the number of antennas. Frequently, a tenant is
given the right to construct a certain number of antennas with a right to increase the number of
antennas to a certain number in the future, to accommodate growth in their systems. I understand
that AT &T will be providing additional information on the effect of increase in the number of
antennas. It seems to me that the important question is not the number of antennas, since that
could vary simply on the basis of the technology being used, but the amount of space that is
occupied on the water tower and therefore made unavailable for use by other tenants. I believe
that ,it is often possible to add antennas without effectively eliminating space that could have
been available o -other -tenants.- - The-lease agreements pro -vided by-the commissioner allow a
maximum of 12 antennas in the case of the APT lease, and specify no limits on the number of
antennas in the case of the leases of US West and PRRVIECO.
In the matter of the amount of rent charged, the leases provided by the commissioner, together
with the increases provided for in those leases, are all for lower rental payments than the
payments which staff has negotiated for the AT &T tower lease. In my experience in other cities,
I believe that the general rental rate for such leases is approximately $10,000 to $12,000 per year,
although higher rents have been secured in a few cases. I do not know whether it would be
possible to rent the space for a higher amount than the $12,000 specified in the proposed lease,
but the $12,000 figure is certainly within the average or normal range for such rental agreements
at this time.
I have also reviewed the leases which you provided to me to evaluate other possible lease
provisions. For the most part, I believe that the- proposed City of Rosemount lease is more
advantageous to the City than the leases from Edina or DeForrest. There are a few instances,
however, where the Rosemount lease form could be improved.
The lease between Edina and US West requires the tenant to have certain insurance coverage
which the Rosemount lease does not require. Specifically, the Rosemount form requires
commercial: general.- liability as. does the, Edina lease- However, the Edina lease also specifies
independent contractor's protection, premises - operations, products/completed operations and
contractual liability. If AT &T would agree, we could simply add the requirement to the lease
that these coverages be maintained by the tenant. If there is any question on the part of AT&T
whether such coverages should be provided, we should consult with the City's risk management
consultant. By copy of this letter to Ms. Julie Townsend, the local representative for AT &T, I
am requesting that she advise me whether this, and other changes noted below, would be
satisfactory to AT &T.
There are certain provisions in the PRI MECO lease which could be added to the Rosemount
lease. These include the following:
1. Add a new paragraph under Section 6.14 which provides "Lessee, shall place no
advertising on the site or on any structure on the site."
cci.- 178179v1
RS220 -81
Mr. Tom Burt
March 28, 2000
Page 3 of 3
2. Add an additional paragraph to Section 6.14 as follows: "All antenna panels will be
painted to match the water tower."
3. Add an additional paragraph to Section 6.14 which provides "All landscaping and turf
which is damaged by Lessee shall be restored to a condition reasonably acceptable to
Lessor."
4. Add an additional paragraph to Section 6.14 as follows: "Lessee shall not use any
-procevs -or-method in-the installation , -maintenance-or-remo` aI -of airy -improvement on the
water tower by means of welding, cutting tool, or other device, which could damage the
water tower, including its interior and exterior paint or any equipment attached thereto,
without the Lessor's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld."
Finally, the DeForrest/PRIMECO lease has a detailed procedure to be followed in the event the
water tower is painted. It provides for two possible approaches. One is for the tenant to remove
antennas and place them on a crane parked near the site while painting occurs. The other is to
secure a bid for painting in which the contractor provides quotes. for painting the tower with
antennas and painting the tow_ er without antennas, with the tenant to pay the difference. Either of
these approaches could be appropriate in some cases. However, on a tower with multiple
tenants, I am not sure whether either is reasonable or practical. Therefore, I am reluctant to
suggest that the City obligate itself to following one of these two courses. The proposed lease, at
Section 6.10, provides that all additional expenses of maintaining the property, including
painting or other maintenance of the water tower, which result from Lessee's occupancy, shall be
paid promptly to Lessor by Lessee upon notice of such additional costs. I would recommend that
the language be left as is, and at the time the City decides to paint the water tower, we evaluate
the best means of working with the various tenants.
Please let me know if you have any further questions on this matter.
Very truly yours,
Charles L. LeFevere

RE: Rosemount
.High
In reply to the issues brought up by one of the Commissioners —
Lease rate and number of antennas: Our antennas are generally installed at three different sectors and spaced such that
the future antennas would fit in- between the existing ones. For example, two antennas are installed at one particular
sector and are spaced horizontally 6 feet apart. In the future when additional antennas will be added, they will go in-
between the existing antennas spaced two feet apart. Due to potential interference, no carrier would allow another carrier
to place their antennas in- between that 6 foot separation anyway; therefore the space is dead space. (You can refer to our
plans to show this more clearly). There is a lot of room on this water tower for additional carvers. Many carriers require
different heights and azimuths for their antennas; usually no two carriers want the same area.
As for the issue of the terms and length of the agreement. The lease that was given to AT &T Wireless for review is the
standard City of Rosemount Tower Lease Agreement. It is my understanding this standard lease was put together by the
City and approved by the City Council. AT&T Wireless did not directly request the length of the agreement and the
number of terms. The common Rosemount lease calls for 5 years with two 5 -year renewals. AT &T Wireless would like
the terms to be at lease consistent with the other carrier's leases with the city. in fact most carriers wish to have terms that
are greater than 15 years due to several factors. One being the integration of a site into a network — once a site is
selected (Rosemount WT) and "tumed -on" the rest of the system is integrated into that site. New sites are selected and
constructed because of the Rosemount site. Once the 15 years is up, carriers may have to literally redesign that area of
town and replace many sites simply due to one site no longer being available. Also, the cost of installation of a site and
shelter is large. AT &T as with any business would try to limit the amount and number of times it must relocate and
reconstruct.
You mentioned a couple of additional concerns and stated it was possible the City would request some additional
language be inserted; if so, please forward to me the additional language so AT &T Wireless can review. Most likely, it
won't be an issue with AT &T and a reply can be given to you quickly.
I will be available for the April 10"' PUC meeting to answer any questions that may arise. Please contact me prior if you
have any questions or comments. Thank you for you time and attention to this email.

Subject: Rosemount
Julie,
Two issues were raised at the Public Utilities Commission meeting about which we would like to have your comments.
One of the commissioners apparently objected to the length of the lease term and to the fact that we are not charging
higher rental payments for more antennas. I believe that there may be technical comments that are relevant to these
concerns, but 1 am not qualified to make them. Therefore, it would be helpful if you could provide comments to me so that
they can be passed along to the PUC.
1 will be out of the office the week of April 3-8, so if your comments are not to me by March 31, you should probably send
them directly to Tom Burt, the City Administrator. The PUC meets monthly. Its next meeting is April 10th and written
materials are needed by April 5th to be included in the agenda materials. it may be advisable for you to attend the meeting
as well. if questions come up that the City Administrator cannot answer, the matter could be delayed for another month.
The Commissioner who raised the above concerns also provided copies of leases from other cities which he felt were
better than Rosemount's form of lease. I have not yet had a chance to review them, but 1 will let you know if I think there

3.06 INTERFERENCE. Lessor will require all occupants at this location to
adhere to the same technical standards as set forth herein.
In its use of the Premises, Lessee will not interfere with the operations of
Lessor, the communications of public safety or service agencies including public
schools, fire departments, police departments, sheriff departments, or the
communications conducted by public services provided by Lessor such as water and
4
sewer services. In the event of any such interference, Lessee shall take all actions '
necessary to eliminate such interference in accordance with reasonable -technical
standards. if any such interference inhibits Lessor's operations on the Property, and
Lessee does not correct or commence to correct such interference within 24 hours,
or if there are intermediate levels of interference and Lessee does not correct or
commence to correct such interference within thirty (30) days, Lessee shall
discontinue operating such equipment, on Lessor's demand, unless and until it can be
operated without interference, or shall replace the interfering equipment with
alternative equipment that does not cause such interference. All efforts to commence
to correct interference shall proceed to completion with reasonable diligence. Lessee
shall additionally have the option to terminate this Agreement, without termination fee
described in Article 3.07.
Upon written notice by Lessor that Lessor has a bona fide request from any
other party to lease or otherwise occupy the Premises, Lessee agrees to provide the
Lessor within sixty (60) days the radio frequencies currently in operation or to be
operated in the future of each transmitter and receiver installed and operational on the
Premise, which shall not exceed 180 frequencies at the time of such request. Lessor
may then have a registered professional engineer of Lessor's choice perform the
necessary interference studies to insure that Lessee's frequencies will not cause
harmful radio interference to other tenants. For the purpose of this Agreement,
harmful interference shall be defined as transmitters that produce receiver desensing
because of inadequate frequency spacing between new transmitters and existing
receivers, or transmitters that produce second, third or fifth order intermodulation
products within twenty (20) KHz of existing receivers on the Premises. Lessee shall
pay to Lessor a charge for the portion of such studies reasonably related to Lessee's
frequencies in an amount not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500) per study.
Should subsequent occupants cause any interference with the operations of
Lessee, and if such interference is not eliminated, Lessee shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement or seek injunctive relief enjoining such interfering use
generated by any other subsequent occupant of the Property.
3.07 TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated, without any penalty
or further liability unless described herein, on sixty (60) day written notice as follows:
a) by either party on default of any covenant or term hereof by the other party, which
default is not cured within sixty (60) days following receipt of notice of default
(without, however, limiting any other rights available to the parties pursuant to any
other provisions hereof) except in the case of Lessor default, Lessee may exercise
termination rights without fee or charge; or b) by Lessee if it is unable to obtain or
maintain any license, permit or other governmental approval necessary to the
construction or operations of the Facility or Lessee's business; or c) by Lessee if the
Premises are or become unacceptable to Lessee under the Lessee's design or
engineering specifications for its Facility or for the communications systems to which
the Facility belongs.
