As cellular technology advances, the demand for bandwidth increases. For Verizon Wireless ("Verizon"), this is especially true in in the area surrounding The Promenade at Downey, Downey Landing, Kaiser Permanente, Discovery Park, and the surrounding residential neighborhoods. As such, existing wireless facilities experience dips in service and speed due to a high user amount. Due to the advancement in cellular technology, the need for more communications facilities has increased. Verizon approached city staff with interests in locating a cell tower in Independence Park. After much discussion the site was moved to the City of Downey's Public Works Maintenance Yard ("Maintenance Yard"), which is adjacent to the City's Independence Park, as displayed on Attachment "A". The location of the proposed communications facility was negotiated between Verizon Wireless and the City of Downey to be the least impactful to the surrounding residents and park activities. Prior to the finalization of the current design, negotiations for a communications facility began in the summer of 2016 between Verizon Wireless, and staff from the City's Community LEASE AGREEMENT WITH VERIZON WIRELESS FOR CELL TOWER SITE AT CITY OF DOWNEY PUBLIC WORKS MAINTENANCE YARD SEPTEMBER 10, 2019 PAGE 2 Development, Public Works, and Parks and Recreation Departments. During these negotiations, four designs were proposed. The first option was to replace field lights in the softball field but was not feasible because of the close proximity to the residences to the west of the site and a concern for the visual impacts this would have. The second option involved building a monopine along the southern property line of the park, but would have required removal of park trees. The third option included building a monopine near the tennis courts but the location of the monopine would have conflicted with future park improvements. The fourth option was to replace an existing tennis court light pole, located at the southwest corner of the tennis courts, but this option would have also impacted future park improvements. As such, the proposed location at the Maintenance Yard was the most feasible for all parties involved. The proposed wireless communications facility will be located within the City of Downey Department of Public Works Maintenance Yard, to the south of all operations and just north of the park. The Public Works Department has approved the location and the construction of the tower will not impact yard operations. The construction of the facility will include a tower in the design of a pine tree, commonly referred to as a "monopine", and will also have an equipment enclosure directly adjacent to the tower. The cell tower will be located approximately 350 feet from the nearest residentially zoned property, and will be a 50 -foot tall monopine at the site. The 50 -foot -tall tower will include twelve (12) panel antennas, one (1) four -foot diameter microwave dish, and related equipment. These antennas and associated equipment is typical of a new telecommunications facility and necessary to absorb the load of the provider's users. The antennas, support structure and pole will be covered with materials resembling branches, and a tree trunk, in addition to being painted to match the branches and needles of a pine tree.. The street view of the proposed cell tower is displayed on Attachment "B". As discussed, Verizon Wireless has identified a need for additional coverage and a lack of capacity in this area, as can be seen by the maps in Attachment "C". These maps, called "propagation maps" are similar to those typically used by radio or television stations, mobile telephone networks, and satellite networks, to display coverage or footprints of various conditions or coverage. In this case they're used to display the lack of Verizon cell coverage in the aforementioned area. The center of the map shows the location of the proposed wireless communications facility. The service provided by the existing wireless communications facilities is delineated in red. The cell service gap exists in the subject area. A need for coverage and a lack of capacity is indicated by blue, green, and yellow. The construction of the proposed wireless communications facility is necessary to bridge the need for additional coverage and a lack of capacity between these existing facilities. The addition of this wireless communications facility will provide Verizon Wireless customers with cellular coverage. This radius will cover The Downey Promenade, Kaiser Permanente, the Downey Landing, and various locations within this radius. On April 19, 2018, this project was reviewed by the City's Development Review Committee. No city permitting departments expressed concerns. On September 19, 2018, this project was presented to the City's Planning Commission. The Planning Commission approved the project as presented unanimously. LEASE AGREEMENT WITH VERIZON WIRELESS FOR CELL TOWER SITE AT CITY OF DOWNEY PUBLIC WORKS MAINTENANCE YARD SEPTEMBER 10, 2019 PAGE 3 The lease will allow Verizon to locate a tower in the area lacking cell service, provide a revenue stream for the City, and be located in an area that will not impede park activities for the City's residents, and will not disrupt city services at the Maintenance Yard. The terms of the lease are: 1) $4,000 per month ($48,000 per year); 2) Rental payment increases 3% per year in years 2-10; 3) Initial ten-year initial term; 4) Lease may be extended by mutual consent for four additional five-year terms; 5) The City's Fire and Police Departments will have access to the tower, if required by an emergency; and, 6) If Verizon or the City default on the lease as dictated by the terms of the lease, then either party may terminate the lease within 60 days. As such, staff recommends entering into a lease agreement with Verizon to address the need for additional coverage and a lack of capacity within the area surrounding The Promenade at Downey, Downey Landing, Kaiser Permanente, Discovery Park, and the surrounding residential neighborhoods. a Fiscal Responsibility Economic Vibrancy Quality of Life, Neighborhood & Infrastructure The lease agreement will provide the City with $480,000 in revenue over the initial ten-year term.

In no event will LESSOR be entitled to terminate this Agreement or relocate the equipment as long as LESSEE is making a good faith effort to remedy the interference issue. b) Without limiting any other rights or remedies, if interference occurs and continues for a period in excess of 48 hours following notice to the interfering party via telephone to LESSEE'S Network Operations Center (at (800) 224-6620/(800) 621-2622) or to LESSOR at (562-904-7102), the interfering party shall or shall require any other user to reduce power or cease operations of the interfering equipment until the interference is cured. c) The Parties acknowledge that there will not be an adequate remedy at law for noncompliance with the provisions of this Paragraph and therefore the Parties shall have the right to equitable remedies such as, without limitation, injunctive relief and specific performance. 14. REMOVAL AT END OF TERM,. Upon expiration or within 90 days of earlier termination, LESSEE shall remove LESSEE's communications equipment (including all footings) and restore the Premises to its original condition. LESSOR agrees and acknowledges that the communications equipment shall remain the personal property of LESSEE and LESSEE shall have the right to remove the same at any time during the Term, whether or not said items are considered fixtures and attachments to real property under applicable laws. If such time for removal causes LESSEE to remain on the Premises after termination of the Agreement, LESSEE shall pay rent at the Holdover rental rate described in Paragraph 15 below. 15. HOLDOVER. If upon expiration of the Term, the Parties are negotiating a new lease or a lease extension in good faith, then this Agreement shall continue during such negotiations on a month to month basis at 10% above the rental rate in effect as of the date of the expiration of the Term. In the event that the Parties are not in the process of negotiating a new lease or lease extension and LESSEE holds over after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, then Lessee shall pay rent at 25% above the then existing monthly rental rate or on the existing monthly pro -rata basis if based upon a longer payment term, until the removal of the communications equipment is completed rental. 16. NOTICE OF INTEREST. If at any time after the Effective Date, LESSOR receives an offer or letter of intent from any person or entity that is in the business of owning, managing or operating communications facilities or is in the business of acquiring LESSOR's interests in agreements relating to communications facilities, to purchase fee title, an easement, a lease, a license, or any other interest in the Premises or any portion thereof or to acquire any interest in this Agreement, or an option for any of the foregoing, LESSOR shall provide written notice to LESSEE of said offer ("LESSOR's Notice"). 17. [Intentionally Omitted). 18. LESSOR'S TITLE. LESSOR covenants that LESSEE, on paying the rent and performing the covenants herein, shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises. LESSOR represents and warrants to LESSEE as of the Effective Date and covenants during the Term that LESSOR has full authority to enter into and execute this Agreement and that there are no liens, judgments, covenants, easement, restrictions or other impediments of title that will adversely affect LESSEE's Use. a) LESSEE shall not, either voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Agreement or any interest herein, or any right or privilege appurtenant to this Agreement, or sublet all or any portion of the Premises or allow any other person (the employees, agents, servants and contractors of LESSEE excepted) to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion thereof, without first obtaining the consent of LESSOR, which consent may be withheld in LESSOR's sole and absolute discretion. b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, LESSOR consent shall not be required if all of the following conditions are satisfied: i) LESSEE delivers to LESSOR prior written notice of the applicable transaction together with written evidence that the transaction is one of the transactions described in the following clause (ii) such that LESSOR's consent is not required. ii) Either; (1) The assignment is made as a partial security for financing of the equipment to be installed in the Premises, provided that no security interest shall attach to the Premises or Property; or (2) The proposed assignee is (A) a corporation or partnership (a "Parent") having, directly or indirectly, a controlling interest in LESSEE, (B) a corporation or other entity with which LESSEE and/or any Parent may merge or consolidate, (C) a purchaser of substantially all of the outstanding ownership units or assets of LESSEE and/or any Parent, and/or (D) any transferee of LESSEE's Federal Communications Commission cellular license in the market defined by the FCC in which the Property is located. C) LESSOR's consent to one assignment, subletting, occupation or use by any other person shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupation or use by another person. Neither LESSOR's consent to any subletting or assignment, or any subletting or assignment not requiring consent, shall release LESSEE from liability under this Agreement. Any assignment, sublease or transfer shall be subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement and the assignee, sublessee or transferee shall expressly assume for the benefit of LESSOR the obligations of LESSEE under this Agreement by a document reasonably satisfactory to LESSOR. d) Any assignment or subletting in violation of this Paragraph 19 shall be void, and shall, at the option of LESSOR, constitute a default under this Agreement. If LESSEE is a partnership, joint venture or limited liability company, a withdrawal, addition or change (voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise) of any of the general partners, venturers or managers thereof, or if LESSEE is composed of more than one person, a purported assignment or transfer (voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law, or otherwise) from one thereof unto the other or others thereof, or if LESSEE is a corporation or limited liability company, a change in the ownership (voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law, or otherwise) of one-third (1/3) or more of its capital stock or ownership interests, shall be deemed an assignment subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 19. e) If LESSOR consents to LESSEE subletting a portion of the Premises in accordance with this Paragraph 19, LESSEE may only sublet space on LESSEE's antenna structure located within the Premises. In the event a third party wishes to collocate equipment on LESSEE's antenna structure within the Premises, such third party shall be required to enter into a lease directly with LESSOR for the use of ground space outside the Premises. Any sublease that is entered into by LESSEE shall be subject to and subordinate to the provisions of this Agreement. 20. NOTICES. Except for notices permitted via telephone in accordance with Paragraph 13, all notices hereunder must be in writing and shall be deemed validly given if sent MM by certified mail, return receipt requested or by commercial courier, provided the courier's regular business is delivery service and provided further that it guarantees delivery to the addressee by the end of the next business day following the courier's receipt from the sender, addressed as follows (or any other address that the Party to be notified may have designated to the sender by like notice): LESSOR: City of Downey ATTN: City Manager 11111 Brookshire Avenue Downey, CA 90241 With a copy to: ATTN: City Attorney 11111 Brookshire Avenue Downey, CA 90241 LESSEE: Los Angeles SMSA Limited Partnership, d/b/a Verizon Wireless 180 Washington Valley Road Bedminster, New Jersey 07921 Attention: Network Real Estate Notice shall be effective upon actual receipt or refusal as shown on the receipt obtained pursuant to the foregoing. 21. (Intentionally Omitted]. 22. DEFAULT. It is a "Default" pursuant to this Agreement if: (i) either Party fails to comply with this Agreement and does not remedy the failure within 30 days after written notice is mailed by the other Party or, if the failure cannot reasonably be remedied in such time, if the failing Party does not commence a remedy within the allotted 30 days and diligently pursue the cure to completion within 90 days after the mailing of the initial written notice, or (ii) LESSOR fails to comply with this Agreement and the failure interferes with LESSEE's Use and LESSOR does not remedy the failure within 5 days after written notice from LESSEE or, if the failure cannot reasonably be remedied in such time, if LESSOR does not commence a remedy within the allotted 5 days and diligently pursue the cure to completion within 15 days after the initial written notice. The cure periods set forth in this Paragraph 22 do not extend the period of time in which either Party has to cure interference pursuant to Paragraph 13 of this Agreement. 23. REMEDIES, In the event of a Default, without limiting the non -defaulting Party in the exercise of any right or remedy which the non -defaulting Party may have by reason of such default, the non -defaulting Party may terminate this Agreement and/or pursue any remedy now or hereafter available to the non -defaulting Party under the Laws or judicial decisions of the state in which the Property is located. Further, upon a Default, the non -defaulting Party may at its option (but without obligation to do so), perform the defaulting Party's duty or obligation. The costs and expenses of any such performance by the non -defaulting Party shall be due and payable by the defaulting Party upon invoice therefor. If (i) LESSEE undertakes any such performance on LESSOR's behalf and LESSOR does not pay LESSEE the full undisputed amount within 30 days of its receipt of an invoice setting forth the amount due, LESSEE may offset the full undisputed amount due against all fees due and owing to LESSOR under this Agreement until the full undisputed amount is fully reimbursed to LESSEE, or (ii) LESSOR undertakes any such performance on LESSEE's behalf and LESSEE does not pay LESSOR the full undisputed amount within ninety (90) days of its receipt of an invoice setting forth the amount due, LESSOR may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to LESSEE in addition to any other remedies at law available to LESSOR to collect the outstanding amount due. 24.

LESSOR shall indemnify and hold harmless LESSEE from all claims to the extent resulting from the violation of any applicable EH&S Laws or a release of any regulated substance to the environment except to the extent resulting from the activities of LESSEE. The Parties recognize that LESSEE is only leasing a small portion of LESSOR's property and that LESSEE shall not be responsible for any environmental condition or issue except to the extent resulting from LESSEE's specific improvement, activities and responsibilities. In the event that LESSEE encounters any hazardous substances that do not result from its activities, LESSEE may relocate its facilities to avoid such hazardous substances to a mutually agreeable location or, if LESSEE desires to remove at its own cost all or some the hazardous substances or materials (such as soil) containing those hazardous substances, LESSOR agrees to sign any necessary waste manifest associated with the removal, transportation and/or disposal of such substances. 25. CASUALTY. If a fire or other casualty damages the Property or the Premises and impairs LESSEE's Use, rent shall not abate while LESSEE'S Use is restored by either Party. If LESSEE's Use is not restored within 45 days, LESSEE may terminate this Agreement. During such period as LESSEE is unable to use the Premises, LESSEE may immediately install temporary equipment including, but not limited to, a cell -site on wheels at a mutually acceptable location at the Property. Any costs or expense associated with such installation of temporary equipment shall be LESSEE'S sole responsibility. 26. CONDEMNATION.

(a) LESSOR shall invoice and LESSEE shall pay any applicable transaction tax (including sales, use, gross receipts, or excise tax) imposed on the LESSEE and required to be collected by the LESSOR based on any service, rental space, or equipment provided by the LESSOR to the LESSEE. LESSEE shall pay all personal property taxes, fees, assessments, or other taxes and charges imposed by any Government Entity that are imposed on the LESSEE and required to be paid by the LESSEE that are directly attributable to the LESSEE's equipment or LESSEE's use and occupancy of the Premises as well as any and all fees or taxes attributable to LESSEE or its licensees doing business in the City.

In the event that LESSEE does not have the standing rights to pursue a good faith and reasonable dispute of any taxes under this paragraph, and upon written request by LESSEE, LESSOR will pursue such dispute and LESSEE shall reimburse LESSOR for LESSOR's cost and expenses, including attorneys' fees and staff time, to pursue a tax dispute on LESSEE's behalf. 29, (Intetionally Omitted)., 30.
