Subj ec t : Telecommunications Leasing Master Agreement with Milestone Communications
Management III, Inc.


Abst r ac t and Hi ghl i ght s: Prince George's County Public Schools Administrative Procedure 0800 establishes the
process for the school systems evaluation and approval of applications to place private telecommunications transmission
facilities on sites owned by the Board of Education. The Superintendent of Schools recommends the Boards approval of
a Telecommunications Leasing Master Agreement between Prince George's County Board of Education and Milestone
Communications Management III, Inc., which such Agreement would authorize Milestone, subject to the Boards final
approval of identified sites, to lease a portion of identified school property sites for the purpose of constructing
telecommunications monopoles and leasing space on the monopoles to telecommunication service providers.

The Telecommunications Leasing Master Agreement requires that designation and approval for each site for placement
and construction of telecommunication monopoles shall occur in compliance with the school systems Administrative
Procedure 0800, Federal and County regulations and the Countys Telecommunication Transmission Facility
Coordination Regulations.

The Term of the Master Lease Agreement with Milestone Communications Management III, Inc. is five (5) years,
commencing on the date of the Agreement, and the duration of each Site Lease authorized under the Master Agreement is
ten (10) years, with up to four (4) five-year extension terms.


Budget I mpl i c at i ons: The Master Lease Agreement requires that Milestone Communications pay the Board a Site Fee
of $25,000, per site, within ten (10) days after the date on which (a) Milestone (Manager) receives all governmental and
Board approvals for a particular site or (b) Milestone (Manager) commences construction-related work at a site. In
addition, Milestone (Manager) shall pay the school Board an amount equal to forty percent (40%) of gross revenues
derived from the use, lease or occupancy of any monopole, equipment facility or site pursuant to individual site leases.
Potential revenue generation is estimated at approximately $2.5 million over a five (5) year period, and the initiative will
also provide broadband service for the school system.


St af f i ng I mpl i c at i ons: The Telecommunications Leasing Master Agreement requires that the school system designate a
School Board Project Manager to oversee implementation and approval of the Leasing Master Agreement and individual
site leases. Existing Maintenance and/or CIP staff will perform the function and requirements of the School Board Project
Manager.

Sc hool (s) Af f ec t ed: Schools designated for approval as sites for placement of telecommunications monopoles.
