The initial term of the Agreement would be for five years with the option for Verizon to automatically renew the Agreement for four additional five-year terms. The annual rent would begin at $15, for the first year and a three-percent escalator would be applied to the amount due in each subsequent year. The City would receive a one-time payment of $10, and 50 percent of any revenue Verizon would receive from other providers that collocate on the site.
