Item 5DCity of Southlake, Texas MEMORANDUM August 2, 2005 TO: Shana Yelverton, City Manager FROM: Pedram Farahnak, P.E., Director of Public Works, x8097 SUBJECT: Authorize the Mayor to Execute a Lease Agreement with Cingular for the Placement of Wireless Communication Antennas on the Bicentennial Park Water Tower. Action Requested: Authorize the Mayor to execute a lease agreement with Cingular for the placement of wireless communication antennas on the Bicentennial Park Water Tower. Background Information: Cingular has expressed interest to lease space on the Bicentennial Park water tower for the placement of wireless communication antennas. This lease space also includes a 12' x 20' parcel for Cingular's equipment housing. To assess fair market value of this lease space, staff conducted a rate study in January 2005 and found the average annual rate of ten neighboring cities for wireless communication antenna leases multiplied by a factor of 1.25 (as approved by Council to account for higher property values in Southlake) to be $30,120. The detailed results of the study are provided as Exhibit "A ". The lease space rate increases by 3% annually, as agreed according to the attached agreement, and is scheduled to be increased on the first day of each anniversary. After the initial five -year term, the City reserves the right to study the rate of neighboring cities to re- evaluate fair market value. This lease agreement is the current city standard for antennas and equipment placed on city water towers. The City Attorney has extensively reviewed the agreement and determined it is legally sound. In addition, the presence of these antennas will not interfere with the daily operations of the water towers. Financial Considerations: Annual Revenue is $30,120. 1 Shana Yelverton, City Manager August 2, 2005 Page 2 of 4 Citizen Input/ Board Review: None.

The Federal Communications Commission allocates the frequencies at which LESSEE may operate its antennas and equipment and may from time to time change such frequencies. Any change of this nature that, in LESSEE'S reasonable judgment, renders its operation of a wireless communications facility at the Property obsolete; or 5.

C. LESSOR shall have the right to terminate this lease at any time after five (5) years from the execution of this Addendum (the initial term) by giving one (1) year prior written notice to LESSEE.

If said interference cannot be eliminated within thirty (30) days of notice thereof, LESSEE agrees to suspend operations (transmissions) at the site while the interference problems are studied and a means found to mitigate them.

(1997, as amended from time to time), LESSOR at its sole discretion may modify or cause modifications of equipment or conditions on the Tower site in order to permit location of LESSEE'S radio communications equipment at Tower in compliance with the RF Emissions Regulations.

D. In the event that LESSOR determines that any equipment or operation of LESSEE causes radio interference, as defined and regulated by the Federal Communications Commission, or interferes with the operation or use of the Tower or with any of LESSOR'S facilities or LESSOR'S equipment on the Tower, then LESSEE shall have thirty (30) days within which to correct such radio interference, pursuant to Section 18.13., unless such interference is with LESSOR'S emergency communications; then such interference shall be corrected immediately or terminated. E.

To the extent that any shut down, repair, alteration, addition or improvement of the Tower might adversely affect the operation of LESSEE'S Wireless Communications facility, antennas or equipment for a period in excess of fourteen (14) days, the rent shall be abated for the relevant time period during which LESSEE'S operations are adversely affected. 21.
