CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 12, 2016

PRESENTED BY: KATY GEHLER
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE
MAYOR AND CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A COMMUNICATION
FACILITIES LEASE AGREEMENT WITH VERIZON AT THE TOWER
STREET WATER TOWER PROPERTY
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider executing a Communication
Facilities Lease Agreement with Verizon at the Tower Street water tower
property for a term of 5 years with Verizon’s option to renew for two
additional 5 year terms (15-year total).
History
The City holds several lease agreements with communication companies
to allow use of the City’s water towers to mount antenna with ground
equipment shelters. Many of these agreements were put in place over
fifteen years ago and will be expiring in the coming years.
Within the last fifteen plus years, wireless communication technologies
have significantly changed. When the current agreements were put in
place the leases were drafted to allow a set number of antennas and
leased ground space. With changes in technology and the rise of data
services, there is now a significant amount of non-antenna equipment
being mounted on the water towers. The language and terms of the
expiring agreement needs to be changed to meet today’s current
technology and be open to meet potential future changes.
Staff, coordinating with the City Attorney, have researched and developed
a new lease agreement form to take the place of the expiring leases. New
leases will be based on the current configuration of equipment mounted on
the tower. Any changes need to undergo a review to determine whether
an amendment is needed and if the changes are significant enough to
warrant a rent increase for any additional weight or space being occupied
by the tenant. Staff has been using this approach with lease amendments
to existing agreements over the last few years.
The City and Verizon are parties to a Water Tower Antenna Agreement
relating to installation of communications antennas on the Tower Street
water tower and leasing of ground space for an equipment shelter. They
are also parties to similar agreements at two other properties. The original
agreement for the Tower Street location was entered into on January 7,
1991. This is one of the fist leases to expire and be renewed.
Current Circumstances
Verizon’s current lease is set to expire on December 31, 2016 and they
wish to continue to lease space at the Tower Street water tower property. A
new lease agreement has been negotiated with Verizon based on the form
developed by staff. The lease is attached.
Verizon’s legal department has approved the new lease agreement and is
in the process of routing the agreement for signature.
Conclusion
City Staff and the City Attorney recommend approval of the newly
negotiated lease agreement.
ISSUES: City staff is working to update the legal descriptions for the easements
granted with the various lease agreements. For this agreement, the new
survey and legal descriptions will not be complete by the end of the year.
However, the existing surveys do show the locations of all equipment.
Therefore, Verizon has agreed to use the existing surveys as the exhibits
for this agreement to be replaced upon completion of the new surveys and
legal descriptions.
Verizon’s legal department has approved the new lease agreement and is
in the process of routing the agreement for signature. The routing for
signatures often takes a significant amount of time and likely will not be
completed by December 31, 2016. However, Verizon has worked very
cooperatively with the City and in good faith to negotiate the new lease.
The City Attorney and Staff are willing to give Verizon some leeway in
obtaining final signatures. However, we propose, and have informed
Verizon, that if the signed agreement is not received by the City by January
30, 2017 this approval will be void and their equipment will need to be
removed from the water tower.
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
Current rent amount was $18,035.30 but after market research for rent in
the region revealed it was undervalued. A rent amount of $32,500 annually
with a 3% annual escalator was proposed and accepted by Verizon. Of all
of the antenna leases, this was the most undervalued site. Most others are
closer to market value.
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approval of a resolution as part of the consent agenda authorizing the
Mayor and City Manager to execute the Communication Facilities
Lease Agreement with Verizon at Tower Street Water Tower.
2. Remove this item from the consent agenda for further discussion.

its Facility shall not interfere with the use and operation of other communication facilities
now or hereafter installed on the Water Tower, whether owned by City or another. If

interference cannot be eliminated within forty-eight (48) hours after receiving City’s
written notice of the interference, Communications Company shall immediately cease
operating its Facility 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 Communications Company has
received City’s written notice, City may at its option terminate this Agreement

Dear Ms. Schwabe:
In accordance with the request of the City, we have reviewed the as-built plans submitted by Mill City
Communications dated March 24, 2015, referencing the construction of the proposed Verizon Project
at the Prior Lake Tower Street water tower and have the following comment for your review:
1. Note: This project and all aspects of construction will need to be discussed at a preconstruction
meeting prior to commencement of project construction.
Based on our review and the above information as provided by Mill City Communications, it is our
opinion the City of Prior Lake can proceed with approval of this phase of the project, as the remaining
comment is minor in nature and must be addressed at the preconstruction meeting. Following approval
by the City, a pre-construction meeting must be scheduled by the tenant to include the City, SEH, the
contractor and Verizon representatives prior to commencement of project construction.
If you have any questions regarding our comments, please contact me directly at 651.765.2971.
Sincerely,
John Cvek
Senior Technician
