RE: Agreements For Assignment of Cell Tower Land Lease Agreements from
Smith Communications, LLC to American Tower, LLC
Smith Communications, LLC has built several cell phone towers in
Fayetteville through the years, often on city property. Smith Communications
now desires to sell two of these towers, one at the Township Water Tower site and
the other on Ivey Road to American Tower, LLC. To protect the rights of our
citizens and the City, I ensured that the City Council had the right to consent
before the Lease Agreement with Smith Communications could be transferred to
an independent entity. However, the City Council's power of consent is limited
in that "such consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed." Paragraph
15 of Land Lease Agreements.
American Tower, LLC should sign the Agreements For Assignment of the
Land Lease Agreements with the rights and duties of the Land Lease Agreements
as clarified by the Agreements For Assignment and except for a special final
provision placed within the Ivey Road Land Lease Agreement which was never
used because the charity later decided it was not appropriate or desired.
Therefore, American Tower, LLC will not have to comply with Paragraph 26 of
that agreement which is legally withdrawn and ineffective.
RESOLUTION NO.

party may tenninate the Agreement and/or pursue any remedy now or hereafter available
