Decision: NEW BUSINESS
c. Master License Agreement - Lumos Fiber of Illinois, Inc.
Board to consider an ordinance approving a Master License Agreement between Lumos Fiber of Illinois, LLC and the Village of Westmont. Background of Subject Matter This agreement allows Lumos to build-out, own, and maintain a fiber optic telecommunications system within the Village's rights-of-way. This Agreement provides for a one-time approval by the Village for all of Lumos' installations, but it requires Lumos to apply and pay for permits for each location that it wishes to build-out within the Village. Lumos must also comply with the Village's ordinances governing construction of utility facilities in ROW's. This Agreement differs from a franchise agreement because Lumos dos not provide cable or video content over its lines to subscribers. Additional Background The initial term of the Agreement is 5 years. Lumos will pay a one-time license fee of $2,750.00, and it will pay an annual license fee of $750.00 in Year 1 and $500.00 in Years 2-5. The Agreement auto-renews for another 5 year term with a slight escalation in the annual license payments. The parties can then agree to renew for subsequent 5 year terms with negotiated annual license payments. Recommendation Approval | attachments=1
