LEASE AGREEMENT -CELLULAR TOWER
~ Cliff Hurtz, representing Omnipoint Holdings, a subsidiary of VoiceStream Wireless, discussed
the proposed lease agreement for installation of a cell phone antenna at the Community Center
Ballfields. Mr. Hurtz requested that Section 1, Premises, of the agreement, wherein it refers to a
20 x 30 area, be changed, in order to reflect more accurately the leased area. Mr. Hurtz referred
to Exhibit "B.1," the site plan, and asked that the drawing show the portion of the concession
area to be used, as well as a small box depicting the location of the pole. Mr. Hurtz suggested
that language be added to the lease to specify that Omnipoint will construct a storage building for
the Village. Mr. Hurtz agreed to add a clause to the lease to provide that construction would be
coordinated with the Village, so as not to interfere with recreation activities. Mr. Hurtz also
agreed to provide a statement regarding radio frequency emissions. This item will be brought
back to a future workshop.
