STATUS REPORT FOR CITY HALL MONOPOLE LEASE
AGREEMENTS

Project Manager: Kit Fox, AICP, Senior Administrative Analys ~
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file a status report on the leases for the existing antenna monopole at City
Hall; provide feedback to Staff regarding the future of the City Hall monopole; and
consider approving short-term extensions of the lease agreements with Verizon Wireless
(VZW), AT&T and Southern California Edison (SCE) for their existing wireless
telecommunications facilities on the City Hall monopole.
FISCAL IMPACT
Budgeted Amount:
Account Number(s):
$ 157,500 (revenue)
101-6000-363-XX-X (Rent -Citywide)
The City currently collects roughly $85,000 in annual rent for the ground and building
leases related to the monopole at City Hall. This rent is adjusted annually for inflation,
using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as a benchmark. Please note that the total revenue
projection referenced above includes all City properties.
There is no fiscal impact associated with receiving this status update. Similarly, if the City
Council agrees to short-term extensions of the current lease agreements, revenue
projections for FY2015-16 should remain unchanged. However, if the City Council elects
not to extend these lease agreements, the projected future revenue from leases related
to the monopole will be reduced to zero.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff has drafted short-term extensions of the current lease agreements with VZW, AT&T
and SCE, for the purpose of allowing their use of the monopole at City Hall to continue
while the City explores options to improve the aesthetics of the monopole. The City
Council is also asked to consider the possibility of replacing the current monopole with a
new monopole that could potentially support the current commercial carriers, LA-RICS
and/or the City's emergency communications antennae.
BACKGROUND
The 80-foot-tall antenna monopole at Rancho Palos Verdes City Hall has been a fixture
since the late 1980s. It was initially denied by the Planning Commission (due to a tie
vote) in August 1987, and this action was then appealed to the City Council by the original
applicant, PacTel Cellular Telephone (now VZW). The City Council subsequently
approved the monopole on appeal in February 1988. These entitlements have
subsequently been revised several times over the years to accommodate additional
carriers and/or modified antennae -sometimes on appeal to the City Council.
The City entered into its first lease agreement for the monopole in February 1988, with
the VZW monopole 1 occupying leased ground adjacent to the 2-story building at City Hall,
and VZW equipment occupying leased space inside the first floor of this same building.
In November 1988, the City entered into its second lease agreement for the monopole
with Los Angeles Cellular Telephone Company (now AT&T), allowing the placement of a
280-square foot equipment enclosure adjacent to the 2-story building at City Hall.2 In July
1994, the City entered into its third lease agreement for the monopole with SCE, allowing
the placement of SCE equipment within a 110-square-foot closet on the second floor of
the 2-story building at City Hall. 3 The aerial photo on the following page depicts the
relative locations of the monopole and equipment lease areas for each of the carriers at
City Hall.
1 The monopole itself is owned by VZW, and currently managed on its behalf by American Tower
Corporation (ATC).
2 AT&T sublets space for the co-location of antennae on the monopole from VZW, in an agreement
to which the City is not a party.
3 SCE also sublets space for the co-location of antennae on the monopole from VZW, in an
agreement to which the City is not a party.

All three (3) lease agreements included prov1s1ons for automatic and negotiated
extensions over the years. Eventually, Staff "synchronized" the leases so that they would
all expire on June 30, 2014. In 2012, Staff and the former City Attorney began to discuss
long-term extensions of these lease agreements with VZW, AT&T and SCE, with the
intention of updating them to the standards of modern telecommunications agreements
and technology, and bringing compensation in line with current market rates.
In early 2014, Staff met with the City Council's Civic Center Master Plan Subcommittee
(Mayor Knight and Councilmember Duhovic) to discuss issues related to the development
of a Civic Center Master Plan, including the status of and future plans for the monopole.
It should be noted that the leases with all three (3) carriers included provisions allowing
the City to require the relocation of the monopole in the event of the redevelopment of the
City Hall campus. The Subcommittee expressed a strong desire for Staff to explore
modifications to the existing monopole with the lessees that would improve its aesthetics
and reduce its visual impacts upon the community. Since the City's monopole is a "first
generation" wireless facility, it does not incorporate any of the "stealth" features that are
common in the more modern facilities being constructed today.

Given the short time then remaining until the expiration of the current leases, Staff
proposed (as an interim measure and subject to approval by the City Council) to amend
and extend each the leases for an additional short period of time, subject to existing terms
and conditions. The purpose of these short-term extensions would be to allow time for
Staff and VZW/ATC to explore options to improve the aesthetics of the monopole before
committing to new, long-term lease agreements. Staff and the former City Attorney
drafted short-term extensions of these leases until June 30, 2016, which have been
approved by all three (3) carriers. Drafts of these extensions have subsequently been
reviewed and approved by the current City Attorney.

As a separate matter on tonight's agenda, the City Council is receiving an update on the
proposal by the Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System (LA-RI CS)
Authority to install a new antenna monopole on Coast Guard property adjacent to City
Hall. LA-RICS is now suggesting that it may be interested in replacing the existing
monopole at City Hall with a new monopole on City property that would support antennae
for LA-RICS and the monopole's current carriers (rather than constructing a separate
monopole on the Coast Guard property solely for LA-RICS' use). LA-RICS envisions that
4
MEMORANDUM: Status Report on Monopole Lease Agreements

Page 5
this new monopole might replace both the current monopole and the City's emergency
communications antenna tower. However, this proposal raises a number of issues that
need to be further researched, including coordination with VZW/ATC, the other carriers
on the current monopole and/or the Peninsula Volunteer Alert Network (PVAN). Staff
understands that VZW/ATC has recently reached out to LA-RI CS to discuss the possibility
of co-location.
DISCUSSION
Proposed Extensions of Current Lease Agreements
As mentioned above, Staff and the former City Attorney drafted short-term extensions of
the current lease agreements with VZW, AT&T and SCE. The current City Attorney has
reviewed and approved these agreements. All three (3) carriers have indicated to Staff
that these agreements are acceptable. The extended leases would not change any
existing terms or conditions of the current agreements, and would all expire on June 30,
2016. Staff would use the remaining term of these extended leases to consult with the
monopole's owner and the carriers on the feasibility of modifying the monopole to improve
its aesthetics. Staff would then return to the City Council prior to the expiration of the
extended leases to report on the outcome of these consultations, and to present
recommendations to and/or receive further direction from the City Council.
Monopole Replacement and/or Co-Location with LA-RICS
As mentioned above, LA-RICS has expressed interest in the possibility of constructing a
new monopole on City property that could accommodate LA-RICS and the existing
carriers on the City Hall monopole. LA-RICS has indicated that it would prefer this
arrangement to co-locating on the existing, privately-owned monopole. The exact
location of a new monopole has not been determined yet, although LA-RICS has
suggested either the current monopole location or the site of the City's emergency
communications antenna tower near the RPVtv studio, which is operated by PVAN. LA-
RICS also envisions that the new monopole would be owned and managed by the City,
rather than by one of the carriers (as is currently the case).
At any location, it is a virtual certainty that a new monopole would need to be taller than
the current 80-foot monopole in order to accommodate both LA-RICS and all of the
existing carriers. To allow a new monopole to be constructed by LA-RICS on City
property, the City Council would need to approve a site license agreement with LA-RICS.
Furthermore, Staff believes that the joint installation of non-commercial (i.e., LA-RICS)
and commercial antennae on a new, City Hall monopole would also require the approval
of a conditional use permit (CUP) by the Planning Commission, which LA-RICS has very
5
MEMORANDUM: Status Report on Monopole Lease Agreements
November 4, 2015
Page 6
much sought to avoid. The pursuit of a new monopole serving all of these (potentially
competing) carriers is likely to be a very complex undertaking, for which City Staff does
not have the necessary technical expertise.
LA-RICS would like to know as soon as possible if the City is interested in replacing the
current monopole, as described above. At this point, Staff has no assurance about the
actual height, location or appearance of such a monopole. The City Attorney would need
to review any site license agreement to be executed between LA-RICS and the City for
the installation of a new monopole. In addition, Staff believes that such an installation
would require the approval of a CUP by the Planning Commission, which would be
appealable to the City Council. As a reminder, both the existing monopole and the
existing emergency communications antenna tower on City property were subject to CUP
approvals, and both were ultimately approved only after being appealed to the City
Council. Similar public opposition to a new monopole is to be expected. Committing to
a major new permanent structure on the civic center campus in the absence of an
approved master plan for the site may create complications and unintended
consequences for the future, orderly redevelopment of the site. Furthermore, City
ownership and management of a new monopole may require the long-term commitment
of an unknown amount of City resources.
Other Plans for the Future of the Monopole
Notwithstanding the lease extensions drafted by Staff or the latest proposal by LA-RICS,
the City Council may wish to discuss whether or not it desires any monopole to remain at
the City Hall campus. Since all three (3) leases are currently expired and the carriers'
use of the monopole is effectively on a "month-to-month" basis, the City could give notice
to the carriers to vacate the City's property under the current terms of their respective
agreements. If this option is selected, Staff would recommend giving the carriers a
reasonable amount of time (e.g., six (6) months or more) to acquire and install
replacement facilities. However, the City Council should also be aware that such
replacement facilities might include (but not necessarily be limited to):
• Additional monopoles and/or "stealth" antenna installations on nearby private
property; and,
• Additional dispersed installation(s) of antennae within the City's public rights-of-
way.
Staff has asked the carriers' representatives to be prepared to answer questions about
how they might go about replacing the coverage provided by the current monopole in the
event that the City Council desires for it to be removed. Staff anticipates that these
representatives will be present at tonight's meeting to address such questions. Also,
6
MEMORANDUM: Status Report on Monopole Lease Agreements
November 4, 2015
Page 7
preliminary discussions with the carriers suggest that "stealth" installations attached to
the existing City Hall building (e.g., the elevator tower) may not provide enough height to
replace the coverage currently provided by the monopole.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file a status report on
the leases for the existing antenna monopole at City Hall; provide feedback to Staff
regarding the future of the City Hall monopole; and consider approving short-term
extensions of the lease agreements with VZW, AT&T and SCE for their existing wireless
telecommunications facilities on the City Hall monopole.
ALTERNATIVES
In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative actions (or some
combination thereof) are available for the City Council's consideration:
1. Extend the current lease agreements with VZW, AT&T and SCE until June 30,
2016 (or some other date as agreed to by the City Council), with direction to the
carriers to work with Staff explore feasible options to improve the aesthetics of the
monopole and report back to the City Council prior to the expiration of the extended
lease agreements.
2. Continue the consideration of the extended lease agreements for VZW, AT&T and
SCE to a future date certain, based upon City Council discussion and public
testimony from tonight's meeting.
3. Do not extend the current lease agreements with VZW, AT&T and SCE, and notify
the carriers to remove the monopole and their respective equipment from City
property within a reasonable period of time.
4. Authorize LA-RICS to pursue the construction of a new, City-owned monopole on
City property to support LA-RICS and the current carriers' equipment.
5. Do not authorize LA-RICS to pursue the construction of a new monopole on City
property.

ADDENDUM TO BUILDING LEASE AGREEMENT
The foregoing Building Lease Agreement by and between
th& city of Rancho Palos Verdes, as LESSOR thereunder, and LOS
ANGELES SMSA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a California limited
Partnership of which PacTel Cellular, a California corporation,
is the General Partner, as LESSEE thereunder, is hereby deemed
modified, altered and amended in order to give full force and
effect to the following:
1. With respect to Article 3 ("Term and Rent") of the
Lease, the first sentence of subsection B is deemed modified to
read as follows in its entirety:
Lessee is hereby granted options to extend this lease
on the same terms and conditions for two (2) additional
five (5)-year periods after the original term expires,
each of which may be exercised by giving LESSOR written
notice of its intention to do so at least ninety (90)
days prior to the date that the then current term would
otherwise end.
2. With respect to Article 3 ("Term and Rent"), a new
subsection D is hereby inserted to read in its entirety as
follows:
In the event LESSEE holds over at the Property after
expiration of the term of this Lease, notwithstanding any
acceptance of rent by LESSOR for any longer period, such
holdover shall be deemed to be a month-to-month tenancy,
terminable at the will of either party, and rent shall be
due at the same rate, adjusted on a monthly basis, as was
due for the period immediately preceding the expiration of
the Lease.
58
(
{
'·.
3. With respect to Article 4 ("Use of the Property"),
subpart C(l) is hereby deemed modified to read as follows in its
entirety:
It is understood and agreed that the LESSOR has
plans to redevelop LESSOR'S Property, and in connection
therewith, LESSOR may construct a new Civic Center at
LESSOR'S Property. In the event a new civic Center is
constructed at LESSOR'S Property, LESSEE agrees that
LESSOR may require LESSEE to relocate the Property to
other locations on LESSOR'S Property. Such relocation
shall include relocation of the easements for access to
LESSEE's antenna, relocation of the equipment used by
LESSEE in connection with operation of the antenna, and
relocation of the antenna itself. LESSEE has advised
LESSOR that any location of the antenna on LESSOR'S
Property is equally suitable for LESSEE's purposes as
the existing location of the antenna, so long as LESSEE
continues to have reasonable access to the antenna and
related equipment and so long as the antenna continues
to have the same elevation above sea level, and LESSEE
has acknowledged and agreed that LESSOR has a signif i-
cant interest in minimizing the impact of the antenna
on the aesthetics of LESSOR'S Property. Therefore,
LESSEE has agreed that LESSOR shall have complete and
absolute discretion as to the determination of the new
locations for the Property, including the antenna, in
the event of such redevelopment of LESSOR's Property;
provided, however, LESSOR agrees that LESSEE shall
continue to have reasonable access to the antenna and
related equipment and that the antenna shall continue
to have the same elevation above sea level. LESSEE
also agrees that it shall cause such relocation to be
accomplished within sixty (60) days after LESSEE
receives written notice from LESSOR to cause such
relocation. LESSOR agrees that it shall cooperate with
LESSEE so that any relocation may be accomplished
without interruption of LESSEE's telephone service to
the public. LESSEE further agrees that any and all
costs attributable to such relocation shall be borne
and paid for by LESSEE. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
LESSOR agrees that in the event LESSOR requires LESSEE
to relocate its antenna as provided hereunder, LESSEE
shall have the option of terminating this Lease by
providing LESSOR with written notice of its election to
do so prior to the date LESSOR requires LESSEE to
complete the relocation of the Property.

4. With respect to Article 4 ("Use of the Property"),
a new subpart C(2) is hereby deemed added thereto which shall
read as follows in its entirety:
LESSOR and LESSEE have discussed at length the
LESSOR's interest in making LESSEE'S cellular telephone
service available to the public while at the same time
preserving the aesthetics of the Civic Center area.
Therefore, LESSEE agrees that it shall cooperate at
LESSEE's sole cost and expense with any reasonable
requests by LESSOR to camouflage LESSEE'S antenna in
the initial installation thereof on the Property, to
the end that its impact on the aesthetics of the Civic
Center shall be minimized. LESSEE and LESSOR also
agree that after the first five (5) years of the term,
LESSEE's conditional use permit may be reviewed
annually by LESSOR for the purpose of determining
whether advances in technology since the commencement
of the Lease, or since the last review of LESSEE's
conditional use permit, as the case may be, would
enable LESSEE to construct an antenna of a different
style or size that would have less impact on the
aesthetics of the Civic Center area without degradation
in the quality of LESSEE's service. If so, LESSEE
agrees to install a new antenna of the design requested
by LESSOR pursuant to such review within a reasonable
amount of time thereafter.
5. With respect to Article 4 ("Use of the Property"),
it is agreed that, subject to the provisions of subsection C{l)
of Article 4, it shall not be unreasonable for LESSOR to refuse
to consent to new construction or the erection of an additional
antenna on the Property if LESSOR determines that such new
construction or additional antenna shall have a negative impact
upon the aesthetics of LESSOR'S Property.
6. With respect to Article 4 ("Use of the Property"),
a new E is hereby deemed added thereto which shall read as
follows in its entirety:

Nothing contained in this Article 4 or elsewhere
in ~his Lease shall be deemed to impair or inhibit at
any time the discretion of the City Council or the
City Planning commission, or other municipal bodies
having jurisdiction, to grant, refuse to grant, or to
impose conditions upon LESSEE's conditional use perm.it.
7. Article 9 ("Utilities") is hereby deemed modified
to read in its entirety as follows:
LESSEE shall be responsible directly to the
serving entities for all utilities required for
LESSEE'S use of the Property, and LESSEE shall arrange
for the separate metering of electric service and any
other utilities to the Property.
s. The second sentence of section 14A is hereby
deemed modified to read as follows in its entirety:
LESSOR shall have the right to install or perm.it the
installation of other antennae and antenna structures
on LESSOR's Property provided that all such antennae
comply with all applicable federal, state and local
rules and regulations, and provided further, that if
any such antenna or antenna structure interferes with
LESSEE's use of the Property, LESSOR shall cause such
additional antenna or antenna structure to be modified
so that it shall not interfere with LESSEE's use of the
Property, or it shall be removed.
Paragraph 3 of the Memorandum of Lease Agreement, the form of
which is attached to the Lease as Exhibit c, shall be changed
accordingly prior to execution and recordation thereof.

3. TERM AND RENT
A. This Lease Agreement shall be for an initial term of
ten (10) years beginning on the first day of September, 1988 at
an Annual Rent of Eighteen Thousand Dollars ($18,000.00), which
rent shall be paid annually, in advance, on the first day of July

.. --------..____:
(*) If PacTel Cellular shall remove its antenna tower for any reason, Los Angeles
Cellular shall furnish its own antenna tower pursuant to all applicable
Federal, State, and City rules, regulations, and ordinances. 74
' ~,I
entity as LESSOR may, from time to time, designate in writing at
least thirty (30) days in advance of any rent payment date.
LESSEE shall also pay as additional rent any increases in real
property taxes levied against LESSOR' s Property as a result of
any improvements constructed by LESSEE or as a result of LESSEE's
use of the Property.
B. LESSEE is hereby granted options to extend this lease
on the same terms and conditions for two (2) additional five (5)-
year periods after the original term expires by giving LESSOR
writton notice of its intention to do so at least ninety (90)
~~Y§ prior to the date that the then-current term would otherwise
end, Ne option may ~e exercised more than one (1) year prior to
tha eommencemEmt datl!! of the option term, and, if subsequent to
the commencement date of the option term, and, if subsequent to
the exercise of an option LESSEE shall default on its
obligations under the Lease beyond the applicable cure period,
the prior exercise of the option shall be void and of no force
and effect.
c. The parties have also agreed that there shall be annual
adjustments of the rent hereunder beginning on September 1, 1989.
Such annual increases or decreases shall be determined in the
following manner:
(1) Annual Rent shall be adjusted as of September 1, 1989,
and as of July 1 of each calendar year thereafter throughout the
term of this Lease Agreement and any extensions of such term
(September 1 of each year beginning in 1989 being an "Adjustment
Date 11 ) • Such adjustments may result in the Annual Rent being
either increased or decreased, provided, however, that in no
event shall the Annual Rent be lower than the Annual Rent in
effect for the year prior to September 1, 1989. Rent Adjustments
shall be made as follows:
(a) -The basis for computing each such adjustment (the
"Base Index") shall be the consumer Price Index (base year 1967 ==
100) -Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers -Los Angeles,
Anaheim, Riverside (the "Index"), published by the United States
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics most recently
prior to the prior Adjustment Date (or most recently published
prior to September 1, 1989 in the case of the first Adjustment
Date) •
(b) Annual Rent payable commencing on each Adjustment
Date until the next Adjustment Date shall be an amount determined
by multiplying the rent payable immediately prior to the current
Adjustment Date by the most recently published Index preceding
the current Adjustment Date (the "Current Index") and dividing
the product thereof by the Base Index.
(c) If the Index is revised so that the base reference
index for a current Index differs from the base reference index
for the appropriate Base Index, the Base Index shall be converted
to the new base reference index in accordance with the conversion
table published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau
of Labor Statistics. If the Index is discontinued or changed in
such a way that it is impossible to obtain a continuous
measurement of price changes from a prior Adjustment Date to the
Adjustment Date in question, the Index shall be replaced by such
other governmental index or computation as would provide
substantially the same renult as would have been obtained if the
Index had not been discontinued or changed.
(d) In the event LESSEE holds over at the Property
after expiration of the term of this Lease, notwithstanding any
acceptance of rent by LESSOR for any longer period, such holdover
shall be deemed to be a month-to-month tenancy, terminable at the
will of either party, and rent shall be due at the same rate,
adjusted on a monthly basis, as was due for the period
immediately preceding the expiration of the Lease.
75
4. USE OF THE PROPERTY
A. LESSEE shall use the Property for constructing and
maintaining the Building thereon and operating within the
Building and on the antenna tower a radio communications facility
and required antenna, and for any uses which are necessary and
incidental thereto. The construction of all improvements
constituting the Building, the antenna tower, underground cables
and conduits, and any other matters in connection with LESSEE's
use and operation of the Property shall be at LESSEE' s sole
expense. LESSEE shall maintain the Property in good condition
and repair throughout the term, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
LESSEE'S use of the Property shall be consistent and in
compliance with all conditions of conditional Use Permit No. 119
and any subsequent revisions or amendments thereof and with all
laws and regulations (either now existing or passed hereafter by
any governmental entity having jurisdiction) by which such uses
are controlled.
B. Before commencement of any work of construction,
alterations, or repair is commenced on the Property, including
improvement of the Building and installation of any conduits or
lines pursuant to the easement leased hereunder, and before any
building materials shall be delivered to the Property by LESSEE
or under LESSEE 1 s authority, LESSEE shall comply with all the
following conditions or procure LESSOR' s written waiver of the
condition or conditions specified in the waiver:
( 1) ( i) Deliver to LESSOR 1 s planning department for
approval by LESSOR's planning department two (2) sets of
preliminary construction plans and specifications prepared by an
architect or engineer licensed to practice as such in the State
of California, including but not limited to preliminary grading
and drainage plans, soil tests, utilities, sewer and service
connections, locations of ingress and egress to and from public
thoroughfares, .curbs, gutters, parkways, street lighting, designs
and locations for outdoor signs, storage areas, and landscaping,
all sufficient to enable potential contractors and subcontractors
to make reasonably accurate bid estimates and to enable LESSOR
to make an informed judgment about the design and quality of
construction and about any effect on the reversion of the
Property to the LESSOR. All improvements shall be constructed
within the lines of the Property depicted on Exhibit "A2";
provided that required work beyond the Property boundaries for
utilities, access, and conditional use requirements do not
violate this provision. LESSEE shall deliver to LESSOR together
with the plans the certificate of the person or persons who
prepared the plans and specifications certifying that LESSEE has
fully paid for them or waiving payment and waiving any right to a
lien for preparing them, and permitting the LESSOR to use the
plans without payment for purposes relevant to and consistent
with this Lease.
(ii) LESSOR shall not unreasonably disapprove
preliminary plans and specifications. Approval or disapproval
shall be communicated in the manner provided herein for notices,
and disapproval shall be accompanied by specification of the
grounds for disapproval; provided the LESSOR's failure to
disapprove within thirty (30) days after delivery to LESSOR shall
be conclusively considered to be approval. LESSEE shall not
deliver working drawings to any governmental body in connection
with application for a building permit until preliminary plans
are approved as provided in this paragraph.
(iii) LESSEE shall prepare final working plans and
specifications substantially conforming to preliminary plans
previously approved by LESSOR, submit them to the appropriate
governmental agencies for building permits. Changes from the
preliminary plans shall be considered to be within the scope of
the preliminary plans if they are not substantial or if they are
made to comply with suggestions, requests, or requirements of a
governmental agency or official in connection with the
76
application for building permits, and if they do not depart
substantially in size, utility, or value from the requirements of
Section 1.B.
( 2) ( i) Furnish LESSOR 1 s planning department with a
true copy of LESSEE 1 s contract with its general contractor and
with evidence of the general contractor's financial condition for
LESSOR'S approval.
(ii) LESSOR may disapprove the contract by
delivering to I,ESSEE written notice thereof within 15 days
following-delivery to LESSOR of the copy of the contract. The
notice shall specify the grounds for disapproval. LESSOR shall
not unr~iisonably disapprove the contract and LESSOR shall be
eon§id@ro~ to have approved the contract in the absence of
dolivoring to LESSEE written notice of disapproval within 15 days
after LESSEE furnishes to LESSOR the contract and evidence
specified above. If LESSEE elects to act as general contractor,
the Lessor's approval rights shall be considered to apply to the
subcontractor of each subcontract in excess of $100,000.00.
( 3) Procure and deliver to LESSOR at LESSEE' expense
evidence of compliance with all then applicable codes,
ordinances, regulations, and requirements for permits and
approvals, including but not limited to a grading permit,
building permits, zoning and planning requirements, and approvals
from various governmental agencies and bodies having
jurisdiction.
(4) Deliver to LESSOR (1) certificate of insurance
evidencing coverage for "building's risk", (2) evidence of
workers' compensation insurance covering all persons employed in
connection with the work and with respect to whom death or bodily
injury claims could be asserted against LESSOR or the Property,
and (3) evidence that LESSEE has paid or caused to be paid all
premiums for the coverage described above in this paragraph and
any increase in premiums on insurance provided for in this Lease
on insurance, sufficient to assure maintenance of all insurance
above during the anticipated course of the work. LESSOR shall be
named as an additional insured on all such policies. LESSEE
shall maintain, keep in force, and pay all premiums required to
maintain and keep in force all insurance above at all times
during which such work is in progress.
( 5) Provide to LESSOR on completion of any work of
improvement, notice of all changes in plans or specifications
made during the course of the work and, at the same time and in
the same manner, supply LESSOR with "as built" drawings
accurately reflecting all such changes. LESSOR acknowledges that
it is common practice in the construction industry to make
numerous changes during the course of construction on substantial
projects. Changes that do not substantially alter plans and
specifications previously approved by LESSOR do not constitute a
breach of LESSEE's obligations.
c. LESSOR makes no covenants or warranties respecting the
condition of the soil or subsoil or any other condition of the
Property. LESSEE may ent~r onto the land before commencement of
the term to make soil and structural engineering tests that
LESSEE considers necessary. All such tests made by or on behalf
of LESSEE shall be at LESSEE's sole expense and shall be
evidenced by a separate contract. A copy of the report shall be
delivered to LESSOR on commencement of the term.
D. Once the work is begun, LESSEE shall with reasonable
diligence prosecute to completion all construction of
improvements, additions, or alterations. Construction required
at the inception of the Lease shall be completed and ready for
use within 8 months after commencement of construction, provided
that the time for completion shall be extended for as long as
LESSEE shall be prevented from completing the construction by
delays beyond LESSEE'S control; but failure, regardless of cause,
77
\'
to complete construction within 18 months following the
commencement date of this Lese shall, at LESSOR's election
exercised by notice, terminate this Lese. All work shall be
performed in a good and workmanlike manner, shall substantially
comply with plans and specifications submitted to LESSOR as
required by this Lease, and shall comply with all applicable
governmental permits, laws, ordinances, and regulations.
E. With the consent of Los Angeles SMSA Limited
Partnership, LESSEE will co-locate on PacTel's eighty foot (80')
tall unguyed utility pole with required antennae. Any additional
construction (or the erection of any additional antennae) by
LESSEE will require the prior written approval of LESSOR, which
approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(1) As a co-tenant on the antennae pole it is
understood and agreed that the LESSOR has plans to redevelop
LESSOR's Property, and in connection therewith, LESSOR may
construct a new civic Center at LESSOR's Property. In the event
a new Civic Center is constructed at LESSOR' s Property, LESSEE
agrees that LESSOR may require LESSEE to relocate the Property to
other locations on LESSOR' s Property. such relocation shall
include relocation of the easements for access to LESSEE's
antenna, relocation of the equipment used by LESSEE in connection
with operation of the antenna, and relocation of the antenna
itself. LESSEE has advised LESSOR that any location of the
antenna on LESSOr' s Property is equally suitable for LESSEE' s
purposes as the existing location of the antenna, so long as
LESSEE continues to have reasonable access to the antenna and
related equipment and so long as the antenna continues to have
the same elevation above sea level, and LESSEE has acknowledged
and agreed that LESSOR has a significant interest in minimizing
the impact of the antenna on the aesthetics of LESSOR's Property.
Therefore, LESSEE has agreed that LESSOR shall have complete and
absolute discretion as to the determination of the new locations
for the Property, including the antenna, in the event of such
redevelopment of LESSOR' s Property; provided, however, LESSOR
agrees that LESSEE shall continue to have reasonable access to
the antenna and related equipment and that the antenna shall
continue to have the same elevation above sea level. LESSEE also
agrees that it shall cause such relocation to be accomplished
within sixty (60) days after LESSEE receives written notice from
LESSOR to cause such relocation. LESSOR agrees that it shall
cooperate with LESSEE so that any relocation may be accomplished
without interruption of LESSEE's telephone service to the public.
LESSEE further agrees that any and all costs attributable to such
relocation shall be borne and paid for by LESSEE.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, LESSOR agrees that in the event
LESSOR requires LESSEE to relocate its antenna as provided
hereunder, LESSEE shall have the option of terminating this Lease
by providing LESSOR with written notice of its election to do so
prior to the date LESSOR requires LESSEE to complete the
relocation of the Property.
With respect to this paragraph it shall not be unreasonable
for LESSOR to refuse to consent to new construction or the
erection of an additional antenna on the Property if LESSOR
determines that such new construction or additional antenna shall
have a negative impact upon the aesthetics of LESSOR'S Property.
( 2) LESSOR and LESSEE have discussed at length the
LESSOR' s interest in making LESSEE' s cellular telephone service
available to the public while at the same time preserving the
aesthetics of the Civic Center area. Therefore, LESSEE agrees
that it shall cooperate at LESSEE' s sole cost and expense with
any reasonable requests by LESSOR to camouflage LESSEE's antenna
in the initial installation thereof on the Property, to the end
that its impact on the aesthetics of the Civic Center shall be
minimized. LESSEE and LESSOR also agree that after the first
five (5) years of the term, LESSEE's conditional use permit may
be reviewed annually by LESSOR for the purpose of determining
78
whether advances in technology since the commencement of the
Lease, or since the last review of LESSEE' s conditional use
permit, as the case may be, would enable LESSEE to construct an
antenna of a different style or size that would have less impact
on the aesthetics of the Civic Center area without degradation in
the quality of LESSEE's service. If so, LESSEE agrees to
install a new antenna of the design requested by LESSOR pursuant
to such review within a reasonable amount of time thereafter.
F. (1) LESSEE shall pay or cause to be paid the total cost
and expense of all works of improvement, as that phrase is
defined in the Mechanics' Lien Law in effect in the state of
California. No such payments shall be construed as rent. LESSEE
shall not suffer or permit to be enforced against the Property or
any part of it any mechanic's, materialman' s contractor's, or
subcontractor's lien arising from any work of improvement,
however it may arise. However, LESSEE may, in good faith and at
LESSEE'S own expense, contest the validity of any such asserted
lien, claim, or demand, provided LESSEE has furnished the bond
required in California civil code Section 3143 (or any comparable
statute hereafter enacted for providing a bond freeing the
Property from the effect of such a lien claim) .
(2) LESSEE shall defend and indemnify LESSOR against
all liability and loss of any type arising out of work performed
on the Property by LESSEE, together with reasonable attorneys'
fees and all costs and expenses incurred by LESSOR in
negotiating, settling, defending, or otherwise protecting against
such claims.
(;3) If LESSEE does not cause to be recorded the bond
described in California Civil Code Section 3143 or otherwise
protect the Property under any alternative or successor statute,
and a final judgment has been rendered against LESSEE by a court
of competent jurisdiction for the foreclosure of a mechanic's,
materialman•s, ·contractor's or subcontractor's lien claim, and if
LESSEE fails to stay the execution of the judgment by lawful
means or to pay the judgment, LESSOR shall have the right, but
not the duty, to pay or otherwise discharge, stay, or prevent the
execution of any such judgment or lien or both. LESSEE shall
reimburse LESSOR for all sums paid by LESSOR under this
paragraph, together with all LESSOR's reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs, plus interest on those sums, fees, and costs at the
.rate of 12 percent per year from the date of payment until the
date of reimbursement.
(4) on completion of any substantial work of
improvement during the term, LESSEE shall file or cause to be
filed a notice of completion. LESSEE hereby appoints LESSOR as
LESSEE' s attorney-in-fact to file the notice of completion on
LESSEE's failure to do so after the work of improvement has been
substantially completed.
Throughout the term, LESSEE shall, at LESSEE's sole cost and
expense, maintain the Property and all improvements in good
condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear except, and in
accordance with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, orders
and regulations of ( 1) federal, state, county, municipal, and
other governmental agencies and bodies having or claiming
jurisdiction and all their respective departments, bureaus, and
officials; (2) the insurance underwriting board or Insurance
Service Office having or claiming jurisdiction; and (3) all
insurance companies insuring all or any part of the Property or
the improvements thereon or both.
Except as provided below, LESSEE shall promptly and
diligently repair, restore, and replace as required to maintain
or comply as above, or to remedy all damage to or destruction of
all or any part of the improvements on the Property resulting
wholly or in part from causes required by this Lease to be
covered by fire or extended coverage insurance, if the cost of
the work so required does not exceed 50% of the replacement value
79
of all the improvements. IF the cost does exceed that percent,
LESSEE may nevertheless repair, restore, and replace as above or
may be notice elect instead to raze the improvements damaged or
destroyed. Within 30 days after such notice, LESSOR may by
notice elect to repair, restore, and replace as above, and LESSEE
shall not raze until the expiration of the time for LESSOR' s
notice of election. All improvements shall become the Property
of LESSOR upon the expiration or sooner termination this Lease;
provided, however, at LESSOR 1 s option, upon the expiration of
this Lease, LESSEE shall remove all improvements from the
Property and return the Property to its original condition.
The completed work of maintenance, compliance, repair,
restoration, or replacement shall be equal in value, quality, and
use to the condition of the improvements before the event giving
rise to the work, except as expressly provided to the contrary in
this Lease. LESSOR shall not be required to furnish any services
or facilities or to make any repairs or alterations of any kind
in or on the Property. LESSOR's election to perform any
obligation of LESSEE under this provision on LESSEE's failure or
refusal to do so shall not constitute a waiver of any right or
remedy for LESSEE's default, and LESSEE shall promptly reimburse,
defend, and indemnify LESSOR against all liability, loss, cost,
and expense arising from it.
G. Nothing contained in this Article 4 or elsewhere .in
this Lease shall be deemed to impair or inhibit at any time the
discretion of the City council or the City Planning Commission,
or other municipal bodies having jurisdiction, to grant, refuse
to grant, or to impose conditions upon the LESSEE'S conditional
use permit.
5. TERMINATION
A. Notiae of LESSEE's exercise of its right to terminate
this Lease Agreement pursuant to Section 4B, above, shall be
given to LESSOR in writing by certified mail, return receipt
requested and shall be effective upon receipt of such notice by
LESSOR. Such notice of termination shall be accompanied by a
recordable Quitclaim Deed releasing all of LESSEE's interest (s)
in LESSOR'S Property.
(1) Upon LESSOR's receipt of such a termination
notice, this Lease Agreement shall terminate, and such
termination shall relieve both parties of any further obligations
under this Lease Agreement although each shall continue to have
any and all remedies for any breach of a lease obligation which
occurred prior to the date of termination.
B. LESSEE, upon the expiration or termination of this
Lease Agreement, shall, within a sixty (60)-day period, remove
its personal property and fixtures and restore the Property to
its original condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted. At
LESSOR's option, when this Lease Agreement expires or is
terminated and upon advance written notice to LESSEE, LESSEE
shall leave LESSEE's improvements, other than its personal
property and fixtures, to become the property of LESSOR. LESSOR
may retain any advance rent until such removal and restoration
have been completed to LESSOR's reasonable satisfaction, but
LESSOR shall immediately thereafter refund any uneaL·ned rent
(i.e., rent unearned on the date such removal and restoration are

15. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
A. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute a material default and breach of this
Lease by LESSEE:
(1) The abandonment of the Property by LESSEE.
(2) The failure by LESSEE to make any payment of rent
or any other payment required to be made by LESSEE hereunder, as
and when due, where such failure shall continue for a period of
three (3) business days after written notice thereof is received
by LESSEE.
(3) The failure by LESSEE to observe or perform any of
the covenants, conditions or provisions of this lease to be
observed or performed by LESSEE, other than as described in
Subsection 15 A (2), above, where such failure shall continue for
a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is
received by LESSEE; provided, however that if the nature of
LESSEE's default is such that more than thirty (30) days are
reasonably required for its cure, then LESSEE shall not be deemed
to be in default if LESSEE commenced such cure within said thirty
(30)-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to
completion.
(4) The making by LESSEE of any general arrangement or
assignment for the benefit of creditors, LESSEE becoming a
"DEBTOR" as defined in 11 U.S.C. 101 or any successor statute
thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against LESSEE,
the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days), the appointment of
a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of
LESSEE's assets located at the Property or of LESSEE's interest
in this lease, where possession is not restored to LESSEE within
thirty (30) days, or the attachment, execution or other judicial
seizure of substantially all of LESSEE' s assets located at the
Property or of LESSEE's interest in this lease, where such
seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days.
B. In the event of any such material default or breach by
LESSEE, LESSOR may at any time thereafter, with or without notice
or demand and without limiting LESSOR in the exercise of any
right or remedy which LESSOR may have by reason of such default
or breach:
(1) Terminate LESSEE's right to possession of the
Property by any lawful means, in which case this lease shall
84
terminate and LESSEE shall immediately surrender possession of
the Property to LESSOR. In such event, LESSOR shall be entitled
to recover from LESSEE all damages incurred by LESSOR by reason
of LESSEE's default including, but not limited to, the cost of
rec;:overing possession of the Property, expenses of reletting
including necessary renovation and alternation of the Property,
and reasonable attorney's fees and the worth at the time of award
by the court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which
the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of
such award exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same
period that LESSEE proves could reasonably be avoided.
( 2) Maintain LESSEE' s right to possession in which
case this lease shall continue in effect whether or not LESSEE
shall have abandoned the Property. In such event, LESSOR shall
be entitled to enforce all of LESSOR's rights and remedies under
this lease, including the right to recover the rent as it becomes
due hereunder.
(3) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available
to LESSOR under the laws or judicial decisions of California.
Unpaid installments of rent and other unpaid monetary obligations
of LESSEE under the terms of this lease shall incur a five
percent (5%) late charge if not paid within, and bear interest
from, three (3) business days after LESSEE receives notice that
they are overdue at the maximum rate then allowable by law.
( 4) In the event of the occurrence of any of the
events specified in Section 15 A, above, if LESSOR shall not
choose to exercise, or by law shall not be able to exercise, its
rights hereunder to terminate this lease upon the occurrence of
such events, then, in addition to any other rights of LESSOR
hereunder or by law, neither LESSEE, as debtor-in-possession, nor
any trustee or other person (hereinafter collectively called the
"Assuming LESSEE") shall be entitled to assume this Lease
unless, on or-before the date of such assumption, the Assuming
Lessee (a) cures, or provides adequate assurance that the
Assuming Lessee will promptly cure any existing default under
this lease, (b) compensates, or provides adequate assurance that
the Assuming Lessee will promptly compensate, LESSOR for any
pecuniary loss (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees
and disbursements) resulting from such default, and (c) provides
adequate assurance of future performance under this lease, it
being covenanted and agreed by the parties that, for such
purposes, any cure or compensation shall be effected by the
immediate payment of any monetary default or any required
compensation, or the immediate correction or bonding of any
nonmonetary default; any "adequate assurance" of future
performance shall be effected by the establishment of an escrow
fund for the amount at issue or by bonding, it being covenanted
and agreed by LESSOR and LESSEE that the foregoing provision is a
material part of this lease.
16. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
Each party, within ten (10) days after notice from the other
party, shall execute and deliver to the other party, in
recordable form, a certificate stating that this lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect, or in full force and
effect as modified, and stating the modifications. The
certificate also shall state the amount of annual rent, the dates
to which the rent has been paid in advance, and the amount of any
prepaid rent. Failure to deliver the certificate within the ten
(10)-day period shall be conclusive upon the party failing to
deliver the certificate, for the benefit of the party requesting
the certificate and any successor to the party requesting the
certificate, that this lease is in full force and effect and has
not been modified except as may be represented by the party
requesting the certificate.

warranties herein contained, the parties hereby agree to the
following terms, covenants and conditions:
1. THE PROPERTY
A. The legal description of LESSOR's Property is
contained in Exhibit "Al" attached hereto and by this reference
incorporated herein.
B. The Property which is the subject of this lease is
contained within a two-story building on LESSOR'S Property, and
consists of interior space of approximately one hundred ten (110)
square feet, located on the second floor of the Catalina wing,
and antenna tower space adjacent to the building, and utility

rights to all Property and the easement right described in
Section 2 shall terminate upon the expiration or sooner

successor in interest (hereinafter collectively referred to as
"Air Touch Cellular") shall remove its antenna tower · for any
reason, Lessee shall furnish its own antenna tower subject to all
applicable Federal, State, and City approvals, rules,
regulations, and ordinances.
2 , LEASE AND IRREVOCABLE EASEMENT
A. In consideration of the lease payments by LESSEE
to LESSOR as agreed to herein, LESSOR hereby leases the Property
to LESSEE and grants to LESSEE (during the term of this lease) an
irrevocable, non-exclusive easement for ingress and egress (seven
(7) days a week, twenty-four (24) hours a day) and to install and
maintain underground utility wire, cable, conduits and pipes
between the Property and the nearest public right-of -way. The
location of such easement (s) shall be subject to the LESSOR's
prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, and LESSOR shall have the right to change
the location of the easement for ·irigress and egress frora time to
time, provided that LESSOR continues to provide LESSEE with
access to LESSEE's utility wires, cables, conduits and pipes for
maintenance purposes.
3, TERM AND RENT
A. This Lease Agreement shall be for an initial term
of ten (10) years beginning on the first day of July, 1994, at an
Annual Rent of Five Thousand Four Hundred Dollars ($5,400), which
9408()1 R6876-0000I pjn 0691469 3
103
•it. IL
rent shall be paid annually, in advance, on the first day of July
of each calendar year to LESSOR or to such other person, firm or
entity as LESSOR may, from time to time, designate in writing at
least thirty (30) days in advance of any rent payment date.
LESSEE shall also pay as additional rent any increases in real
property taxes levied against LESSOR's Property as a result of
any improvements constructed by LESSEE or as a result of LESSEE'S
use of the Property.
B. LESSEE is hereby granted options to extend this
lease on the same terms and conditions for two (2) additional
five (5) year periods after the original term expires by giving
LESSOR written notice of its intention to do so at least ninety
, (90) days prior to the date that the then-current term would
otherwise end. No option may be exercised more than one (1) year
prior to the commencement date of the option term, and, if
subsequent to the exercise of an option LESSEE shall default on
its obligations under the Lease beyond the applicable cure
period, the prior exercise of the option shall be void and of no
force and effect.
c. The parties have also agreed that there shall be
annual adjustments of the rent hereunder beginning on July 1,
1995. such annual increases or decreases shall be determined in
the following manner:
(1) Annual Rent shall be adjusted as of July 1, 1995,
and as of July 1 of each calendar year thereafter throughout the
term of this Lease Agreement and any extensions of such term
(July 1 of each year beginning in 1995 being an "Adjustment
Date"). Such adjustments may result in the Annual Rent being
either increased or decreased, provided, however, that in no
event shall the Annual Rent be lower than the Annual Rent in
effect for the year prior to July 1, 1995. Rent Adjustments
shall be made as follows:
(a) The basis for computing each such adjustment (the
"Base Index") shall be the Consumer Price Index (base year 1982-
84 = 100) -Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers -Los
Angeles, Anaheim, Riverside (the "Index"), published by the
United states Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics
most recently prior to the prior Adjustment Date (or most
recently published prior to July 1, 1995 in the case of the first
Adjustment Date).
(b} Annual Rent payable commencing on each Adjustment
Date until the next Adjustment Date shall be an amount determined
by multiplying the rent payable immediately prior to the current
Adjustment Date by the most recently published Index preceding
the current Adjustment Date (the "Current Index") and dividing
the product thereof by the Base Index.
(c) If the Index is revised so that the base reference
index for a Current Index differs from the base reference index
for the appropriate Base Index, the Base Index shall be converted
to the new base reference index in accordance with the conversion
table published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau
of Labor Statistics. If the Index is discontinued or changed in
such a way that it is impossible to obtain a continuous
measurement of price changes from a prior Adjustment Date to the
Adjustment Date in question, the Index shall be replaced by such
other governmental index or computation as would provide
substantially the same result as would have been obtained if the
Index had not been discontinued or changed.
(d) In the event LESSEE holds over at the Property
after expiration of the term of this Lease, notwithstanding any
acceptance of rent by LESSOR for any longer period, such holdover
shall be deemed to be a month-to-month tenancy, terminable at the
will of either party, and rent shall be due at the same rate,
940804 R6876-00001 pjn 0691469 3

adjusted on a monthly basis, as was due for the period
immediately preceding the expiration of the Lease.
4. USE OF THE PROPERTY
A. LESSEE shall use the Property for the purpose of
constructing, maintaining and operating within the Building and
on the antenna tower a radio communications facility and required
antenna, and for any uses which are necessary and incidental
thereto. The construction of all improvements in connection with
LESSEE' s use and operation of the Property shall be at LESS·EE' s
sole expense. LESSEE shall maintain the Property in good
condition and repair throughout the term, ordinary wear and tear
excepted. LESSEE's use of the Property shall be consistent and in
compliance with all conditions of any approval or permit issued
by LESSOR to LESSEE and any subsequent revisions or amendments
thereof and with all laws and regulations (either now existing or
passed hereafter by any governmental entity having jurisdiction)
by which such uses are controlled. Nothing in this Lease shall
imply issuance of an approval or permit by LESSOR for use of the
Property. ·
B. Before commencement of any work of construction,
alterations, or repair is commenced on the Property, including
improvement of the Building and installation of any conduits or
lines pursuant to the easement leased hereunder, and before any

order for LESSOR to approve the contractor selected by LESSEE.
(ii) LESSOR may disapprove the contractor by
delivering to LESSEE written notice thereof within 15 days
following delivery to LESSOR of the copy of the contract. The
notice shall specify the grounds for disapproval. LESSOR shall
not unreasonably disapprove the contractor.
(3) Procure and deliver to LESSOR at LESSEE' expense

• ,• •J ,'
performed in a good and workmanlike manner, shall substantially
comply with plans and specifications submitted to LESSOR as
required by this Lease, and shall comply with all applicable
governmental permits, laws, ordinances, and regulations.
E. With the consent of Air Touch Cellular, LESSEE will
co-locate on Air Touch Cellular's eighty foot (BO') tall unguyed
utility pole with required antennae. Any additional construction
(or the erection of any additional antennae) by LESSEE will
require the prior written approval of LESSOR.
(1) As a co-tenant on the antennae pole it is
understood and agreed that the LESSOR has plans to redevelop
LESSOR's Property, and in connection therewith, LESSOR may
construct a new civic Center at LESSOR's Property. In that
event, LESSEE agrees that LESSOR may require LESSEE to relocate
the Property to other locations on LESSOR's Property. such
relocation shall include. relocation of the easements for access
to LESSEE's antenna, relocation of the equipment used by LESSEE
in connection with operation of the antenna, and relocation of
the antenna itself. LESSEE has advised LESSOR that any location
of the antenna on LESSOR's Property is equally suitable for
LESSEE's purposes as the existing location of the antenna, so
long as LESSEE continues to have reasonable access to the antenna
and related equipment and so long as the antenna continues to
have the same elevation above sea level, and LESSEE has
acknowledged and agreed that LESSOR has a significant interest in
minimizing the impact of the antenna on the aesthetics of
LESSOR'S Property. Therefore, LESSEE has agreed that LESSOR shall
have complete and absolute discretion as to the determination of
the new locations for the Property, including the antenna, in the
event of such redevelopment of LESSOR'S Property; provided,
however, LESSOR agrees that LESSEE shall continue to have
reasonable access to the antenna and related equipment and that
the antenna shall continue to have the same elevation above sea
level. LESSEE ~lso agrees that it shall cause such relocation to
be accomplished within sixty (60) days after LESSEE receives
written notice from LESSOR to cause such relocation. LESSOR
agrees that it shall cooperate with LESSEE so that any relocation
may be accomplished so as to minimize any interruption of
LESSEE's communication facility. LESSEE further agrees that any
and all costs attributable to such relocation shall be borne and
paid for by LESSEE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LESSOR agrees
that in the event LESSOR requires LESSEE to relocate its antenna
as provided hereunder, LESSEE shall have the option of
terminating this Lease by providing LESSOR with written notice of
its election to do so prior to the date LESSOR requires LESSEE
to complete the relocation of the Property.
With respect to this paragraph it shall not be
unreasonable for LESSOR to refuse to consent to new construction
or the erection of an additional antenna on the Property if
LESSOR determines that such new construction or additional
antenna shall have a negative impact upon the aesthetics of
LESSOR'S Property.
(2) LESSOR and LESSEE have discussed at length the
LESSOR'S interest in preserving the aesthetics of the civic
Center area. Therefore, LESSEE agrees that it shall cooperate at
LESSEE's sole cost and expense with any reasonable requests by
LESSOR to camouflage LESSEE's antenna in th1:< initial installation
thereof on the Property, to the end that its impact on the
aesthetics of the Civic Center shall be minimized. LESSEE and
LESSOR also agree that after the first five (5) years of the
term, any permit issued by LESSOR may be reviewed annually by
LESSOR for the purpose of determining whether advances in
technology since the commencement of the Lease, or since the last
review of LESSEE'S permit, as the case may be, would enable
LESSEE to construct an antenna of a different style or size that
would have less impact on the aesthetics of the Civic Center area
without degradation in the quality of LESSEE's service. If so,
940S04 R6876-00001 pjn 0691469 3

LESSEE agrees to install a new antenna of the design requested by
LESSOR pursuant to such review within a reasonable amount of time
thereafter.
F. (1) LESSEE shall pay or cause to be paid the total
cost and expense of all works of improvement, as that phrase is
defined in the Mechanics' Lien Law in effect in the State of
California. No such payments shall be construed as rent. LESSEE
shall not suffer or permit to be enforced against the Property or
any part of it any mechanic's, materialman's contractor's, or
subcontractor's lien arising from any work of improvement,
however it may arise. However, LESSEE may, in good faith and at
LESSEE's own expense, contest the validity of any such asserted
lien, claim, or demand, provided LESSEE has furnished the bond
required by California Civil Code Section 3143 (or any comparable
statute hereafter enacted for providing a bond freeing the
Property from the effect of such a lien claim) .
(2) LESSEE shall defend and indemnify LESSOR against
all liability and loss of any type arising out of work performed
on the Property by LESSEE, together with reasonable attorneys'
fees and all costs and expenses incurred by LESSOR in
negotiating, settling, defending, or otherwise protecting against
such claims.
(3) If LESSEE does not cause to be recorded the bond
described in California Civil Code Section 3143 or otherwise
protect the Property under any alternative or successor statute,
and a final judgment has been rendered against LESSEE by a court
of competent jurisdiction for the foreclosure of a mechanic's,
materialman's, contractor's or subcontractor's lien claim, and if
LESSEE fails to stay the execution of the judgment by lawful
means or to pay the judgment, LESSOR shall have the right, but
not the duty, to pay or otherwise discharge, stay, or prevent the
execution of any such judgment or lien or both. LESSEE shall
reimburse LESSOR for all sums paid by LESSOR under this
paragraph, together with all LESSOR's reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs, plus interest on those sums, fees, and costs at the
rate of 12 percent per year from the date of payment until the
date of reimbursement.
(4) on completion of any substantial work of
improvement during the term, LESSEE shall file or cause to be
filed a notice of completion. LESSEE hereby appoints LESSOR as
LESSEE's attorney-in-fact to file the notice of completion on
LESSEE's failure to do so after the work of improvement has been
substantially completed.
Throughout the term, LESSEE shall, at LESSEE'S sole
cost and expense, maintain the Property and all improvements in
good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and
in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, orders
and regulations of: (1) federal, state, county, municipal, and
other governmental agencies and bodies having or claiming
jurisdiction and all their respective departments, bureaus, and
officials; (2) the insurance underwriting board or Insurance
Service Office having or claiming jurisdiction; and (3) all
insurance companies insuring all or any part of the Property or
the improvements thereon or both.
Except as provided b~low, LESSEE shall promptly and
diligently repair, restore, and replace as required to maintain
or comply as above, or to remedy all damage to or destruction of
all or any part of the improvements on the Property resulting
wholly or in part from causes required by this Lease to be
covered by fire or extended coverage insurance, if the cost of
the work so required does not exceed 50% of the replacement value
of all the improvements. If the cost does exceed that
percentage, LESSEE may nevertheless repair, restore, and replace
as above or may by notice elect instead to raze the improvements
damaged or destroyed. Within 30 days after such notice, LESSOR
940804 R6876-00001 pjn 0691469 3
- 5 -107
may by notice elect to repair, restore, and replace as above, and
LESSEE shall not raze until the expiration of the time for
LESSOR's notice of election. All improvements repaired,
restored or replaced by LESSOR shall become the Property of
LESSOR upon the expiration or sooner termination this Lease;
provided, however, at LESSOR'S option, upon the expiration of
this Lease, LESSEE shall remove all improvements from the
Property and return the Property to its original condition.
. The completed work of maintenance, compliance, repair,
restoration, or replacement shall be equal in value, quality, and
use to the condition of the improvements before the event giving
rise to the work, except as expressly provided to the contrary in
this Lease. LESSOR shall not be required to furnish any services
or facilities or to make any repairs or alterations of any kind ·
in or on the Property. LESSOR'S election to perform any
obligation of LESSEE under this provision on LESSEE's failure or
refusal to do so shall not constitute a waiver of any right or
remedy for LESSEE'S default, and LESSEE shall promptly reimburse,
defend, and indemnify LESSOR against all liability, loss, cost,
and expense arising from it.
G. Nothing contained in this Article 4 or elsewhere in
this Lease shall be deemed to impair or inhibit at any time the
discretion of the City Council or the City Planning Commission,
or other municipal bodies having jurisdiction, to grant, refuse
to grant, or to impose conditions upon any permit issued to
LESSEE.

pecuniary loss (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees

immediate payment of any monetary default or any required
compensation, or the immediate correction or bonding of any
nonmonetary default; any "adequate assurance" of future
performance shall be effected by the establishment of an escrow
fund for the amount at issue or by bonding, it being covenanted

material part of this lease.

other party, shall execute and deliver to the other party, in

a defined coverage area. Furthermore, the elimination of this wireless communications site will impact
neighboring cellular site locations and their served customers by necessitating significant modifications
to the network to compensate for losses in coverage and capacity of the site.
In order to meet the basic level of operational radio signal coverage, Verizon and AT&T radio
frequency (RF) engineers have designed a network of wireless communication facilities for the City area.
Specific sites are chosen after lengthy analysis. Selection criteria include : limitations imposed by
surrounding topography, land availability, the intended service area of the site, and the ability of the site
to receive signals and messages from users connected to other sites in the network neighboring the
existing location . Elimination of this facility after 27 years of operation will put a tremendous burden on
their networks to compensate for the loss causing diminished service to the residents in the City.
Wireless services play a critical public safety role as more than 70% of all emergency calls are
placed with a wireless device according to the FCC. (See FCC Press Release, entitled FCC takes Action to
Improve Wireless 9-1-1 Services, dated September 23, 2010) Wireless coverage and capacity is essential
to ensuring access to public safety agencies wherever citizens are and when they need it. In 2012 ,
Congress established the First Responder Network Authority ("FirstNet") and tasked it to build the first
high-speed nationwide wireless network dedicated to public safety and emergency responders. In order
to streamline deployment, manage costs and provide broad geographic coverage, FirstNet will need to
use existing wireless infrastructure to respond to our nations and your community's public safety needs.
American Tower requests that the City of Rancho Palos Verdes extend the lease with Verizon
allowing the facility to remain operational. The benefits of telecommunications coverage in the vicinity
of the site contemplated by the City, including enhanced emergency capabilities and response is
consistent with the City's objective to protect the public health, safety and welfare of the community
pursuant to Chapter 13.12 Telecommunications and Regulatory Ordinance of the City of Rancho Palos
Verdes Municipal Code to ensure adequate public utilities and communication services to all residents.
