ARTICLE IV. – QWEST CORPORATION, ORDINANCE NO 13-04 GRANTING A
FRANCHISE TO QWEST CORPORATION D/B/A CENTURYLINK QC ON BEHALF
OF ITESELF AND ITS OPERATING AFFILIATES (“CENTURYLINK”) TO
OPERATE AND MAINTAIN A TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM (“THE
SYSTEM”) IN THE CITY OF GREEN RIVER, WYOMING (“THE CITY”).

This Franchise Agreement is entered into by and between the City of Green River Wyoming (“City”) and
Qwest Corporation d/b/a CenturyLink QC on behalf of itself and its affiliates (collectively “CenturyLink”)
this ____ day of __________, 2026 to operate and maintain a telecommunications system in the City.
FINDINGS
In review of CenturyLink, the City makes the following findings:
CenturyLink’s technical ability, financial condition, legal qualifications, and character were considered in
a full public proceeding after due notice and a reasonable opportunity to be heard on ____________, 2026;
CenturyLink’s plans for operating the System were considered and found adequate and feasible in a full
public proceeding after due notice and a reasonable opportunity to be heard; and
The Franchise granted to CenturyLink by the City complies with the existing laws and regulations of the
City.
Section 1. Grant of Franchise. The City hereby grants to CenturyLink the non-exclusive right, privilege
and authority to construct, maintain, operate, upgrade, adjust, protect, support, raise, lower, disconnect,
remove and relocate its, wires, conduits, conductors, cables and related appurtenances (“Facilities”) for its
System in, under, along, over and across the present and future streets, roadways, avenues, courts, lanes,
alleys and rights-of-way of the City (“Right-of-Way” or “Rights-of-Way”), for the purpose of providing
telecommunications services to the City’s inhabitants (hereinafter “Franchise”). The Franchise area is
defined as the Rights-of-Way within the legal boundaries of the City.
Section 2. Acceptance by CenturyLink. Within sixty (60) days after the passage of this Franchise by the
City, CenturyLink shall file a signed copy thereof with the City Clerk; otherwise the Franchise and the
rights granted herein shall be null and void.
Section 3. Term. The term of this Franchise commences upon the passage of this Ordinance and continues
in full force and effect for ten (10) years (“Initial Term”) unless at the end of the first five (5) years of this
Franchise, either party provides written notice to the other of its intent to renegotiate the terms of the
Franchise no later than one hundred eighty (180) days before the expiration of the first five (5) year period.
If the parties fail to reach agreement at the end of the first five (5) year period, this Franchise will renew
for subsequent twelve (12) month periods until either Party provides written notice of its intent to terminate
the Franchise at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the current renewal term.

1

If the term of this Franchise continues for ten (10) years, then this Franchise will renew for subsequent
twelve (12) month periods until either party provides written notice of its intent to terminate the Franchise
at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the current renewal term. The Initial Term and any renewal
term may be collectively referred to as the “Term.”
Section 4 . Franchise Fee. As of the effective date of this Franchise, CenturyLink will pay the City a
Franchise Fee of three percent (3%) of revenues received from the provision of local telecommunication
services within the City calculated based upon CenturyLink’s Gross Revenues (based upon the services
defined in Appendix A hereto) generated by the System (the “Franchise Fee”). Payment shall be made
quarterly within thirty (30) days after the last day of the quarter to which the payment applies during the
Term of this Franchise.
This Franchise Fee relates only to the permission to use a public Right-of-Way under the terms and
conditions set forth. The Franchise Fee shall not relieve CenturyLink from compensating the City to the
extent that City permits are otherwise required in accordance with applicable law. The Franchise Fee is
separate and apart from permit fees and any amounts collected for taxes or surcharges paid to federal, state,
or local governments.
Section 5. Obligation in Lieu of Fee. In the event that the Franchise Fee specified herein is declared void
for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction or applicable law, the Franchise Fee provided for herein
shall be adjusted in accordance with applicable laws, provided the terms are applied on a competitively
neutral and nondiscriminatory basis for similarity situated users of the rights-of-way. Further, to the extent
allowed by law, CenturyLink shall collect and remit the alternative amounts agreed upon through a
surcharge upon Utility Service provided to City residents and businesses who are customers of
CenturyLink.
Section 6. Remittance of Franchise Fee.
6.1 Correction of Franchise Fee Payments. In the event that either the City or CenturyLink discovers that
there has been an error in the calculation of the Franchise Fee payment to the City, either party shall provide
written notice of the error to the other party. If the party receiving written notice of the error does not agree
with the written notice of error, that party may challenge the written notice of error; otherwise, the error
shall be corrected and adjustments applied in the next quarterly payment following discovery. However,
if the error results in an overpayment of the Franchise Fee to the City, and said overpayment is in
excess of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), credit for the overpayment shall be adjusted in the successive
quarterly payments; provided that if such period would extend beyond the term of this Franchise,
CenturyLink may elect to require the City to provide it with a refund instead of a credit, with such refund
to be spread over the same period the error was undiscovered, even if the refund will be paid after the
termination date of this Franchise. All franchise fee underpayments shall be corrected in the next quarterly
payment following discovery, together with interest computed at the rate set by the Public Service
Commission for customer security deposits held by CenturyLink, from the date when due until the date
paid. In no event shall either party be required to fund or refund any overpayment or underpayment which
occurred more than five (5) years prior to the discovery of the error.
6.2 Audit of Franchise Fee Payments.
A) Every five (5) years commencing at the end of the term of this Franchise, the City may,
upon written notice to CenturyLink, request that CenturyLink conduct an internal audit to
investigate and determine the correctness of the franchise fees paid to the City. Such audit
shall be limited to the previous two (2) calendar years, or as otherwise requested by the City.

2

Within sixty (60) days following the City’s written request, CenturyLink shall provide a
written report to the City Clerk containing the audit findings.
B) If the City disagrees with the results of the audit, and if the parties are not able to informally
resolve their differences, the City may conduct its own audit, and CenturyLink shall
cooperate, including, but not necessarily limited to, providing the City’s auditor with all
information reasonably necessary to complete the audit or by making such information
available via email within a reasonable time thereafter for review by the City.
C) If the results of a City audit conducted pursuant to subsection 6.2(B) conclude that
CenturyLink has underpaid the City by two percent (2%) or more, in addition to the
obligation to pay such amounts to the City and interest, CenturyLink shall also pay all
reasonable costs of the City’s audit.
6.3 Fee Disputes. Either party may challenge any written notification of error as provided for in this
Franchise by filing a written notice to the other party. The other party shall respond to any written notice
of error within thirty (30) days from such other party’s receipt of the written notification of error. The
written notice shall contain a summary of the facts and reasons for the party’s challenge. The parties shall
make good faith efforts to resolve any such challenge and to provide such reasonable documentation to
support any such written notification of error.
Section 7. Records Inspection. CenturyLink shall make available to the City, upon reasonable advance
written notice of no less than sixty (60) days, such information pertinent only to enforcing the terms of
this Franchise in such form and at such times as CenturyLink can reasonably make such available. Subject
to applicable laws, any information that is provided to the City and that the City reviews in camera is
confidential and proprietary and shall not be disclosed or used for any purpose other than verifying
compliance with the terms of this Franchise. Any such information provided to the City shall be
immediately returned to CenturyLink following review. The City will not make copies of such information.
Subject to applicable law, neither the City nor CenturyLink shall be required to publicly disclose
information which is proprietary or confidential in nature, absent an appropriate order from a court or
agency of competent jurisdiction. The City agrees to treat any information disclosed by CenturyLink as
confidential pending a contrary determination, and only to disclose to its employees, representatives, agents
or consultant that have a need to know and that have agreed to maintain the confidentiality of the materials
in accordance with law. The City agrees to notify CenturyLink in writing if the City receives a request to
disclose confidential information, so that CenturyLink may take appropriate action to protect its interest.
Section 8. Non-Exclusive Franchise. The right to use and occupy the Rights-of-Way of the City shall be
non-exclusive, and the City reserves the right to use the Rights-of-Way for itself or any other entity. The
City, however, shall not unreasonably interfere with CenturyLink’s Facilities or the rights granted
CenturyLink herein.
Section 9. City Regulatory Authority. The City reserves the right to adopt such additional franchises and
regulations as may be deemed necessary in the exercise of its police power for the protection of the
health, safety and welfare of its citizens and their properties consistent with applicable federal and state law.
Section 10. Indemnification. Except to the extent arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the
City, the City shall not be liable for any property damage or loss or injury to or death of any person that
occurs in the construction, operation or maintenance by CenturyLink of its Facilities. CenturyLink shall
indemnify, defend and hold the City harmless from and against claims, demands, liens and all liability or
damage, attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses of whatsoever kind or nature on account of CenturyLink’s use

3

of the Right-of-Way, except to the extent arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the City.
Despite the foregoing language, the parties agree the City shall have no indemnification obligations that
exceed or are in contravention of any applicable law, including, but not limited to, Wyoming Constitution
Article 16, Sections 6 and 7.
Section 11. Insurance Requirements.
11.1 CenturyLink will maintain in full force and effect for the term of the Franchise, at CenturyLink’s
expense, the following insurance coverage:
A) Workers’ Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance. CenturyLink shall provide to
the City proof of workers’ compensation coverage for all its employees who are to work
on the Facilities within the Right-of-Way. CenturyLink’s coverage shall be under the

compensation insurance as appropriate. CenturyLink’s insurance shall include liability
coverage, in an amount not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per employee for
each accident or disease. CenturyLink shall also supply to the City proof of workers’
compensation and employer’s liability insurance for any contractor or subcontractor before
allowing that contractor or subcontractor on the job site.
B) Commercial General Liability Insurance. CenturyLink shall provide coverage, during the
entire Term, against claims arising out of bodily injury, death, damage to or destruction of
the property of others, including loss of use thereof, and including underground collapse

million dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence and four million dollars ($4,000,000) general
aggregate.
C) Business Automobile Liability Insurance. CenturyLink shall maintain, during the entire
Term, automobile liability insurance for owned, non-owned and hired vehicles in an

Renewal Term. All policies shall be primary and not contributory. CenturyLink shall pay the premiums on

written notice to the City.

(90) days of the effective date of this Franchise and shall be updated upon completion of any significant
additions to CenturyLink’s Facilities in the City. Information, if confidential, shall be marked as such and
maintained as confidential as permitted under applicable law.
12.3. CenturyLink shall, prior to commencing new construction (which involves disturbance of the Rightof-Way) or major reconstruction work in public Right-of-Way apply for a permit from the City at
CenturyLink’s expense, which permit shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
CenturyLink will abide by all reasonable rules, regulations and requirements of the City consistent with
applicable law, and the City may inspect the manner of such work and require remedies as may be reasonably
necessary to assure compliance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CenturyLink shall not be obligated to obtain
a permit beforehand to perform emergency repairs to its Facilities but shall be required to contact the City
prior to making any such repairs or reasonably soon thereafter following any need to restore
CenturyLink’s services. Permits shall not be required for routine maintenance or repair; however, permits
shall be pulled after completion of emergency repairs so that the City will have a record of such work.
All contractors and subcontractors of CenturyLink shall also be required to pull permits at their expense,
as provided above, except for routine maintenance or repairs.
12.4 To the extent practical and consistent with any permit issued by the City, all Facilities shall be located
and agreed upon so as to cause minimum interference with any existing utilities or third-party equipment
in the Rights-of-Way or the Rights-of-Way and shall be constructed, installed, maintained, renovated or
replaced in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the City.
12.5 If, during the course of work on its Facilities, CenturyLink causes damage to or alters the Rights-ofWay or other public property, including but not limited to sidewalks and streets, or private property in the
Right-of-Way, CenturyLink shall replace and restore such Rights-of-Way and other public property,
including but not limited to sidewalks and streets, and private property in the Right-of-Way at
CenturyLink’s sole cost and expense to the condition that existed immediately prior to such damage or
alteration. If replacement, repair and restoration are not satisfactorily performed by CenturyLink within
forty-five (45) days, the City may, after prior written notice to CenturyLink, cause the replacement, repair
and restoration to be made and recover the actual and documented costs from CenturyLink.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the disturbance or damage creates a risk to public health, safety or
welfare, the City may after providing prior written notice to CenturyLink, take all remedial action as soon
as reasonably practicable. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of an itemized list of those costs, including the
costs of labor, materials, and equipment, CenturyLink shall pay the City any undisputed amount and may
challenge any actual and documented itemized costs.
12.6 All CenturyLink personnel and its contractors and subcontractors shall carry identification clearly
demonstrating that they are working on behalf of CenturyLink.

remedial work and restoration of the Rights-of-Way.
12.13 The City will notify CenturyLink in writing of pre-planning and project planning of street
improvements or work in the public Rights-of-Way including the design process of the improvements as
soon as feasibly possible. CenturyLink shall work with the City to minimize the impacts to CenturyLink’s
Facilities and the City’s facilities, which will include but not be limited to providing a representative to
coordinate with, providing all design/as-builts of the area and marking physical locations of facilities for
design and construction. CenturyLink agrees to comply with the Wyoming Statutes, including, but not
limited to, Wyo. Stat. §37-12-302 as to any locates.
If CenturyLink fails to actively participate in pre-planning or planning as provided above, then the City
may withhold the issuance of any permit to CenturyLink until such time as design and construction conflicts
between the parties are resolved.
Section 13. Relocation of Facilities.
13.1 Relocation for the City. The City agrees to provide CenturyLink with advance written notice of any
requirement for the City to protect, support, adjust, raise, lower, temporarily disconnect, relocate or remove
CenturyLink’s Facilities for a public purpose. Weather permitting, CenturyLink shall, upon receipt of
advance written notice of not less than ninety (90) days or such other reasonable period of time that the Parties
may agree, protect, support, adjust, raise, lower, temporarily disconnect, relocate, or remove any
CenturyLink property located in the Rights-of-Way when required by the City consistent with its police
powers. CenturyLink shall be responsible for any costs associated with these obligations to the extent
required under applicable federal, state or local law.
13.2 Relocation for a Third Party. CenturyLink shall, at the request of any person holding a lawful
permit issued by the City, protect, support, adjust, raise, lower, temporarily disconnect, relocate or remove
any CenturyLink property located in the Rights-of-Way, provided that the cost of such action is borne by
the third party requesting it, and Century Link is given advance written notice of not less than one hundred
twenty (120) days. In said situation, CenturyLink will require advance payment of the costs.
13.3 Alternatives to Relocation. CenturyLink may, after receipt of written notice requesting a relocation
of Facilities, submit to the City written alternatives to such relocation. Such alternatives shall include the
use and operation of temporary transmitting facilities in adjacent Rights-of-Way. The City shall promptly
evaluate such alternatives and advise CenturyLink in writing if one or more of the alternatives are suitable.
If requested by the City, CenturyLink shall promptly submit additional information to assist the City in
such evaluation. The City shall give each alternative proposed by CenturyLink full and fair consideration.
In the event the City determines there is no reasonable alternative, CenturyLink shall relocate the
components of the System as otherwise provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CenturyLink
shall in all cases have the right to abandon the Facilities and convey title to the City.
Section 14. Vegetation Management. CenturyLink shall have the authority, but not the obligation, to trim
trees and other natural growth in the Rights-of-Way in order to access and maintain its Facilities in

6

compliance with applicable law and industry standards. This right shall in no way impose a duty on
CenturyLink; instead, this right gives permission to CenturyLink should CenturyLink elect to conduct such
activities from time to time in order to access and maintain its Facilities.
Section 15. Renewal. At least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of this Franchise,
CenturyLink and the City shall meet, using best faith efforts, to begin negotiating Franchise renewal.
Section 16. Revocation of Franchise for Non-Compliance.
16.1 In the event the City believes that CenturyLink has not complied with the terms of this Franchise, the
City shall informally discuss the matter with CenturyLink. If these discussions do not lead to resolution of
the problem, the City shall notify CenturyLink in writing of the exact nature of the alleged non-compliance.
16.2 CenturyLink shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of the written notice described in subsection
16.1 to either respond to the City, contesting the assertion of non-compliance, or otherwise initiate
reasonable steps to remedy the asserted non-compliance issue, notifying the City of the steps being taken
and the projected date that the steps will be completed.
16.3 In the event that CenturyLink does not comply with subsection 16.2, above, the City shall schedule a
public hearing to address the asserted non-compliance issue. The City shall provide CenturyLink at least
ten (10) days prior written notice of and the opportunity to be heard at the hearing.
16.4 Subject to applicable federal and state law, in the event the City, after the hearing set forth in subsection
16.3, determines that CenturyLink is non-compliant with this Franchise, the City may:
A) Seek specific performance of any provision which reasonably lends itself to such remedy,
as an alternative to damages; or
B) Commence an action at law for monetary damages; or
C) In the case of substantial non-compliance with a material provision of the Franchise, seek
to revoke the Franchise in accordance with subsection 16.5, below.
16.5 Should the City seek to revoke the Franchise after following the procedures set forth above, the City
shall give written notice to CenturyLink. Century Link shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice
to object in writing and state its reason(s) for such objection. Thereafter, the City may seek revocation of
the Franchise at another public hearing. The City shall cause to be served upon CenturyLink, at least thirty
(30) additional days prior to such public hearing, a written notice specifying the time and place of such
hearing and stating its intent to revoke the Franchise. At the designated hearing, the City shall give
CenturyLink an opportunity to state its position on the matter, after which the City shall determine whether
or not the Franchise shall be revoked. CenturyLink may appeal the City’s determination to an appropriate
court, which shall have the power to review the decision of the City de novo. Such appeal must be taken
within thirty (30) days of the issuance of the City’s determination. The City may, at its sole discretion,
take any lawful action which it deems appropriate to enforce its rights under this Franchise in lieu of
revocation.
Section 17. No Waiver of Rights. Neither the City nor CenturyLink shall be excused from complying with
any of the terms and conditions contained herein by any failure of the other, or any of its officers, employees
or agents, upon any one or more occasion to insist upon or to seek compliance with any such terms and
conditions. Each party expressly reserves any and all rights, remedies, and arguments it may have at law
or equity, without limitation, and to argue, assert or take any position as to the legality or appropriateness

7

of any provision in this Franchise that it believes is inconsistent with federal or state law, as may be
amended.
Section 18. Transfer of Franchise. CenturyLink’s right, title or interest in the Franchise and Facilities shall
not be sold, transferred or assigned, or otherwise encumbered without written permission from the City,
except for a transfer or assignment to an entity that purchases all or substantially all of CenturyLink’s assets
located in Sweetwater County, any entity that acquires a majority of the equity interests in CenturyLink or
a direct or indirect parent company of CenturyLink, any newly created or surviving successor entity that
results from a merger, reorganization or consolidation involving CenturyLink or any of its direct or indirect
parent companies or any sale, transfer, assignment, or encumbrance to an entity controlling, controlled by,
or under common control with CenturyLink, or for transfers in trust, by mortgage, by other hypothecation,
or by assignment of any right, title or interest of CenturyLink in the Franchise or Facilities to secure
indebtedness.
Section 19. Amendment. At any time during the Term of the Franchise, the City or CenturyLink may
propose an amendment or addendum to this Franchise by giving thirty (30) days written notice to the other
of the proposed amendment or addendum desired, and both parties thereafter, through their designated
representatives, will, within a reasonable time, negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon mutually
satisfactory amendments. No amendment may be adopted without mutual written agreement of the Parties.
Section 20. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be held in default under, or in non-compliance with, the
provisions of this Franchise, nor suffer any enforcement or penalty relating to non-compliance or default
(including revocation of the Franchise), where such non-compliance or alleged defaults occurred or were
caused by epidemics, pandemics, acts of terrorism, riot, war, earthquake, flood, unusually severe rain or
snow storm, tornado or other catastrophic act of nature, or other event that is reasonably beyond that party’s
ability to anticipate or control. This section also covers work delays caused by waiting for utility providers
to service or monitor their utility poles on which CenturyLink’s Facilities or equipment is attached, as well
as unavailability of materials or qualified labor to perform the work necessary and delays caused by limited
access to easements, poles or streets.
Section 21. Change of Law. If, after the effective date of this Franchise, should there be any enactment
or promulgation of any federal or state law, regulation or order, or a decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction that significantly changes CenturyLink’s or the City’s rights or obligations under this Franchise,
or that pertains to any of the terms or provisions herein, including, but not limited to, the imposition,
payment, collection or treatment of the franchise fees payable hereunder, then CenturyLink and the City, by
providing written notice to the other party, each shall have the right to request that affected portions of this
Franchise be amended or that there be an addendum hereto. The parties shall commence good-faith
negotiations within sixty (60) days of such notice and endeavor to conclude such negotiations within thirty
(30) days thereafter. Any amendment or addendum agreed to by the parties shall become effective upon
the passage and acceptance of such amendment or addendum. In the event that an amendment or addendum
cannot be agreed upon pursuant to the terms of this section, either the City or CenturyLink may file an
action with any court of competent jurisdiction to conform the Franchise to the new law, regulation or
order.
Section 22. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be deemed sufficient
if given by a communication in writing and shall be deemed to have been received (a) upon personal
delivery or (b) within five (5) business days after such notice is deposited with the United States Postal
Service, postage prepaid, certified and addressed to the parties as set forth below:

VISIONARY COMMUNICATIONS, LLC ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS
AFFILIATES
(“VISIONARY”)
TO

AND
MAINTAIN
A
TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM (“SYSTEM”) IN THE CITY OF GREEN
RIVER, WYOMING.
The City hereby ordains in this “Ordinance” that it is in the public interest to grant Visionary
Communications, LLC on behalf of itself and its affiliates (all hereinafter collectively “Visionary”) a
“Franchise” to operate a telecommunications system (“System”) pursuant to the terms and conditions
contained herein. The City and Visionary are sometimes individually or collectively hereinafter referred to
as the “party” or “parties”.
FINDINGS
In review of Visionary, the City of Green River, Wyoming (“City”) makes the following findings:
Visionary’s technical ability, financial condition, legal qualifications, and character were
considered in a full public proceeding after due notice and a reasonable opportunity to be heard on
_________, 2026;
Visionary’s plans for operating the System were considered and found adequate and feasible in a
full public proceeding after due notice and a reasonable opportunity to be heard; and
The Franchise granted to Visionary by the City complies with the existing laws and regulations of
the City.
Section 1. Grant of Franchise. The City hereby grants to Visionary the non-exclusive right, privilege and
authority to construct, maintain, operate, upgrade, adjust, protect, support, raise, lower, disconnect, remove
and relocate its wires, conduits, conductors, cables and related appurtenances (“Facilities”) for its System
in, under, along, over and across the present and future streets, roadways, avenues, courts, lanes, alleys,
sidewalks, rights of way and similar public areas of the City (“Right-of-Way” or “Rights-of-Way”), for the
purpose of providing telecommunications and broadband services to the City’s inhabitants (hereinafter
“Franchise”). The Franchise area is defined as the area within the legal boundaries of the City.
Visionary agrees, with regard to the placement of its Facilities, that it shall first attempt to use established
public utility easements if space is available. Visionary further agrees to secure the approval of WYDOT,
the Union Pacific Railroad and private Right-of-Way or easement owners as necessary before placing any
of its Facilities.
Section 2. Acceptance by Visionary. Within sixty (60) days after the passage of this Ordinance by the
City, Visionary shall file a signed copy thereof with the City Clerk; otherwise the Ordinance and the rights
granted herein shall be null and void.

1

Section 3. Term. The term of this Franchise commences upon the passage of this Ordinance and continues
in full force and effect for ten (10) years (“Initial Term”) unless at the end of the first five (5) years of this
Franchise, either party provides written notice to the other of its intent to renegotiate the terms of the
Franchise no later than one hundred eighty (180) days before the expiration of the first five (5) year period.
If the parties fail to reach agreement at the end of the first five (5) year period, this Franchise will renew
for subsequent twelve (12) month periods until either party provides written notice of its intent to terminate
the Franchise at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the current renewal term.
If the term of this Franchise continues for ten (10) years, then this Franchise will renew for subsequent
twelve (12) month periods until either party provides written notice of its intent to terminate the Franchise
at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the current renewal term. The Initial Term and any renewal
term may be collectively referred to as the “Term.”
Section 4. Franchise Fee.
As of the effective date of this Franchise, each year Visionary will pay the City a Franchise Fee of three
percent (3%) of revenues received from the provision of local telecommunication services within the City
calculated based upon Visionary’s Gross Revenues (based upon the services defined in Appendix A hereto)
generated by the System.
This Franchise Fee relates only to the permission to use a public Right-of-Way under the terms and
conditions set forth. The Franchise Fee shall not relieve Visionary from compensating the City to the extent
that City permits are otherwise required in accordance with applicable law. The Franchise Fee is separate
and apart from permit fees and any amounts collected for taxes or surcharges paid to federal, state, or local
governments.
Section 5. Obligation in Lieu of Fee. In the event that the Franchise Fee specified herein is declared void
for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction or applicable law, the Franchise Fee provided for herein
shall be adjusted in accordance with applicable laws, provided the terms are applied on a competitively
neutral and nondiscriminatory basis for similarity situated users of the rights of way. Further, to the extent
allowed by law, Visionary shall collect the alternative amounts agreed upon through a surcharge upon
Utility Service provided to City residents and businesses who are customers of Visionary.
Section 6. Remittance of Franchise Fee.
6.1 Correction of Franchise Fee Payments. Pursuant to the authority granted to municipalities to regulate
and grant franchises under Wyo. Stat. Ann. Section 15-1-103 (a)(xxxiii) and in the interest of fiscal
accountability, the following procedures shall apply. In the event that either the City or Visionary discovers
that there has been an error in the calculation of the Franchise Fee payment to the City, either party shall
provide written notice of the error to the other party. If the party receiving the notice does not agree with
the written notice of error, that party may challenge the written notice in writing within thirty (30) days;
otherwise, the error shall be corrected and adjustments applied in the next quarterly payment following
discovery. If the error results in an overpayment of the Franchise Fee to the City in excess of Five
Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), credit for the overpayment shall be applied to the successive quarterly
payments. If such period would extend beyond the term of this Franchise, Visionary may elect to require
the City to refund the overpayment, with such refund amortized over the same period the error went
undiscovered -- even if payments occur after the termination date of this Franchise. All underpayments
of the Franchise Fee shall be corrected in the next quarterly payment following discovery, together with
interest computed at the rate established by the Wyoming Public Service Commission for customer security
deposits from the date the amount was due until the date paid. In no event shall either party be obligated to

2

correct, refund or recover any underpayment or overpayment which occurred more than five (5) years
before the discovery of the error.

6.2 Audit of Franchise Fee Payments.
A) Every five (5) years during the Term of this Franchise, the City may, upon written notice
to Visionary, request that Visionary conduct an internal audit to investigate and determine
the correctness of the Franchise Fees paid to the City. Such audit shall be limited to the
previous two (2) calendar years, or as otherwise requested by the City. Within sixty (60)
days following the City’s written request, Visionary shall provide a written report to the
City Clerk containing the audit findings.
B) If the City disagrees with the results of the audit, and if the parties are not able to informally
resolve their differences, the City may conduct its own audit, and Visionary shall
cooperate, including but not necessarily limited to, providing the City’s auditor with all
information reasonably necessary to complete the audit or by making such information
available via email within a reasonable time thereafter for review by the City.
C) If the results of a City audit conducted pursuant to subsection 6.2(B) conclude that
Visionary has underpaid the City by two percent (2%) or more, in addition to the obligation
to pay such amounts to the City and interest, Visionary shall also pay all reasonable costs
of the City’s audit.
6.3 Fee Disputes. Either party may challenge any written notification of error as provided for in this
Franchise by filing a written notice to the other party. The other party shall respond to any written notice
of error within thirty (30) days from such other party’s receipt of the written notification of error. The
written notice shall contain a summary of the facts and reasons for the party’s challenge. The parties shall
make good faith efforts to resolve any such challenge and to provide such reasonable documentation to
support any such written notification of error.
Section 7. Records Inspection. Visionary shall make available to the City, upon reasonable advance
written notice of no less than sixty (60) days, such records and information as are reasonably necessary to
enforce the terms of this Ordinance, and in such form and at such times as Visionary can reasonably provide.
Subject to applicable laws, including the Wyoming Public Records Act (Wyo. Stat. Ann. Sections 16-4201 through 16-4-205), any records or information designated by Visionary as proprietary or confidential
and provided to the City for in-camera review shall be treated as confidential and shall not be disclosed
publicly or used for any purpose other than verifying compliance with this Ordinance. Any such records
provided to the City shall be promptly returned to Visionary following review, and the City shall not retain
or reproduce any copies, except as may be required by the Wyoming Public Records Act or other applicable
federal, state or local law or as may be reasonably necessary for recordkeeping by the City Clerk or legal
counsel and only if such materials are protected under applicable confidentiality requirements. If a request
is made under the Public Records Act for disclosure of Visionary’s confidential information, the City shall
promptly notify Visionary in writing, so that Visionary may seek protective relief or other appropriate
remedies. Unless and until a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such records must be disclosed
under law, the City shall maintain their confidentiality. The City agrees to disclose confidential information
only to those of its employees, representatives, legal counsel, or agents who have a legitimate need to know
such information for purposes of enforcing the Franchise and who are under a legal obligation to preserve

3

its confidentiality. Nothing in this section shall prevent the City from complying with a final court order
requiring disclosure of records under the Wyoming Public Records Act or other applicable law.
Section 8. Non-Exclusive Franchise. The right to use and occupy the Rights-of-Way of the City shall be
non-exclusive, and the City reserves the right to use the Rights-of-Way for itself or any other entity. The
City, however, shall not unreasonably interfere with Visionary’s Facilities or the rights granted Visionary
herein.
Section 9. City Regulatory Authority. The City reserves the right to adopt such additional ordinances and
regulations as may be deemed necessary in the exercise of its police power for the protection of the
health, safety and welfare of its citizens and their properties consistent with applicable Federal and State
law.
Section 10. Indemnification. Except to the extent arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of
the City, the City shall not be liable for any property damage or loss or injury to or death of any person that
occurs in the construction, operation or maintenance by Visionary of its Facilities. Visionary shall
indemnify, defend and hold the City harmless from and against claims, demands, liens and all liability or
damage, attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses of whatsoever kind or nature on account of Visionary’s use of
the Right-of-Way, except to the extent arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the City.
Despite the foregoing language, the parties agree the City shall have no indemnification obligations that
exceed or are in contravention of any applicable law, including, but not limited to, Wyoming Constitution
Article 16, Sections 6 and 7.
Section 11. Insurance Requirements.
11.1 Visionary will maintain in full force and effect for the term of the Franchise, at Visionary’s expense,
the following insurance coverage:
A) Workers’ Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance. Visionary shall provide to the
City proof of workers’ compensation coverage for all its employees who are to work on
the Facilities within the Right-of-Way. Visionary’s coverage shall be under the Wyoming
Workers’ Compensation program, if statutorily required, or such workers’ compensation
insurance as appropriate. Visionary’s insurance shall include liability coverage, in an
amount not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per employee for each accident or
disease. Visionary shall also supply to the City proof of workers’ compensation and
employer’s liability insurance for any contractor or subcontractor before allowing that
contractor or subcontractor on the job site.
B) Commercial General Liability Insurance. Visionary shall provide coverage, during the
entire Term, against claims arising out of bodily injury, death, damage to or destruction of
the property of others, including loss of use thereof, and including underground collapse

million dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence and four million dollars ($4,000,000) general
aggregate.
C) Business Automobile Liability. Visionary shall maintain, during the entire term,

to the City.
11.3 City as Additional Insured. All insurance policies required hereunder, except workers’ compensation,
shall name the City as an additional insured, and shall contain a waiver of subrogation against the City, its
agents and employees. Visionary shall provide a copy of an endorsement providing this coverage.
11.4 City’s Right to Reject. The City reserves the right to reject a certificate of insurance if the insurance
company is widely regarded in the insurance industry as financially unstable.

accordance with applicable law.
12.2 Regarding the construction or installation of Visionary’s System, Visionary shall not micro trench any
portion of the System in the Rights-of-Way or on other public property.
12.3 Regular installation and maintenance shall be scheduled to accommodate ongoing or previously
completed work in or near the Rights-of-Way, such as protection of newly planted turf or other vegetation,
installed asphalt, streets or sidewalks. In order to avoid such situation, Visionary shall provide notice of the
planned work at least seventy-two (72) hours in advance and coordinate with the City to develop a mutually
acceptable schedule for such work.
12.4 Visionary shall provide to the City upon written request of Visionary such as-built maps and/or

additions to Visionary’s Facilities in the City. Information, if confidential, shall be marked as such and
maintained as confidential as permitted under applicable law.
12.5 Visionary shall, prior to commencing new construction (which involves disturbance of the Right-ofWay) or major reconstruction work in public Right-of-Way or other public places, apply for a permit from
the City at Visionary’s expense, which permit shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Visionary will abide by all applicable ordinances and reasonable rules, regulations and requirements of the
City consistent with applicable law, and the City may inspect the manner of such work and require remedies
as may be reasonably necessary to assure compliance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Visionary shall not
be obligated to obtain a permit beforehand to perform emergency repairs to its Facilities but shall be
required to contact the City prior to making any such repairs or reasonably soon thereafter following any
need to restore Visionary’s services. Permits shall not be required for routine maintenance or repair;
however, permits shall be pulled after completion of emergency repairs so that the City will have a record
of such work. All contractors and subcontractors of Visionary shall also be required to pull permits at their
expense, as provided above, except for routine maintenance or repairs.
12.6 To the extent practical and consistent with any permit issued by the City, all Facilities shall be located
and agreed upon so as to cause minimal interference with any existing utilities, third-party equipment or
the Rights-of-Way and shall be constructed, installed, maintained, renovated or replaced in accordance with
applicable rules, ordinances and regulations of the City.

5

12.7 Visionary shall protect the Right-of-Way and any and all improvements and property within the Rightof-Way from damage. If damage occurs, Visionary shall promptly notify the City, as applicable, in writing
within twenty-four (24) hours.
12.8 If, during the course of work regarding its Facilities, Visionary disturbs, causes damage to or alters the
Rights-of-Way or property or improvements within the Rights-of-Way or other public property, Visionary
shall promptly replace, repair and restore such at Visionary’s sole cost and expense to at least the same
condition that existed before the work commenced. If replacement, repair and restoration are not
satisfactorily performed by Visionary within a reasonable time (not more than thirty [30] days), the City
may, after prior notice to Visionary, or without notice where the disturbance or damage may create a risk
to public health, safety or welfare, cause the replacement, repair and restoration to be made and recover the
costs from Visionary. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of an itemized list of those costs, including the
costs of labor, materials, and equipment, Visionary shall pay the City.
12.9 Visionary shall provide a minimum of seven (7) days advance notice to all private property owners
adjacent to the Rights-of-Way prior to the commencement of construction. Additionally, all vehicles,
equipment and facilities of Visionary, its contractors and subcontractors shall have signage clearly
identifying them as working on behalf of Visionary. All Visionary personnel and its contractors and
subcontractors shall carry identification clearly demonstrating that they are working on behalf of Visionary.
12.10 Visionary shall warrant any repair, replacement or restoration work performed by or for Visionary
for a period of one (1) year.
12.11 Failure of Visionary to comply with any of the repair, replacement and restoration provisions in this

per day, which will be due and payable within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from the City.
12.12 Before installation of new underground facilities or replacing existing underground facilities,
Visionary shall first notify the City and may allow the City to either share the trench for laying of its own
facilities or directionally bore to the extent feasibly possible or provide a price for adding empty conduit or
innerduct to the extent feasibly possible, provided that such action will not unreasonably delay Visionary’s
project completion or increase Visionary’s construction costs. Any such work or facilities shall be offered
to the City at Visionary’s incremental cost on a per-foot basis which needs to be mutually agreed to in
writing in advance by the parties.
12.13 Any Facilities in the Green River corridor from approximately the Wyoming Highway 530 bridge
West to Expedition Island must be underground. Lines or services that were in existence prior to July 1,
2024 may remain in their existing location and condition along with minor repairs.
12.14 Nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed to prevent the City from constructing, maintaining,
repairing, replacing or relocating its sewers, streets, water mains, sidewalks, or other public property.
12.15 In areas where all other utility lines are placed underground, Visionary shall construct and install its
Facilities underground. In areas where one or more public utilities are aerial, Visionary shall contact the
City to determine if Visionary will be allowed to install its Facilities aerially, or above ground.
12.16 Visionary shall not attach to, or otherwise use or commit to use, any pole owned by the City until a
separate pole attachment agreement has been executed by the parties.
12.17 To promote efficiencies, Visionary shall coordinate its work in the Rights-of-Way with the City and
other users of the Rights-of-Way.

6

12.18 During construction in the Rights-of-Way, Visionary shall obtain bonds, such as generally applicable
construction bonds, in accordance with the City’s ordinary policies and procedures to cover remedial work
and restoration of the Rights-of-Way.
Section 13. Relocation of Facilities.
13.1 Relocation for the City. The City agrees to provide Visionary with as much advance written notice of
any requirement for the City to protect, support, adjust, raise, lower, temporarily disconnect, relocate or
remove Visionary’s Facilities for a public purpose. Weather permitting, Visionary shall, upon receipt of
advance written notice of not less than ninety (90) days or such reasonable period of time that the parties
may agree, protect, support, adjust, raise, lower, temporarily disconnect, relocate, or remove any Visionary
property located in the Rights-of-Way when required by the City consistent with its police powers.
Visionary shall be responsible for any costs associated with these obligations to the extent required under
applicable federal, state or local law.
13.2 Relocation for a Third Party. Visionary shall, at the request of any person holding a lawful permit
issued by the City, protect, support, adjust, raise, lower, temporarily disconnect, relocate or remove any
Visionary property located in the Rights-of-Way, provided that the cost of such action is borne by the
third party requesting it, and Visionary is given advance written notice of not less than sixty (60) days. In
said situation, Visionary will require advance payment of the costs.
13.3 Alternatives to Relocation. Visionary may, after receipt of written notice requesting a relocation of
Facilities, submit to the City written alternatives to such relocation. Such alternatives shall include the use
and operation of temporary transmitting facilities in adjacent Rights-of-Way. The City shall promptly
evaluate such alternatives and advise Visionary in writing if one or more of the alternatives are suitable. If
requested by the City, Visionary shall promptly submit additional information to assist the City in such
evaluation. The City shall give each alternative proposed by Visionary full and fair consideration. In the
event the City determines there is no reasonable alternative, Visionary shall relocate the components of
the System as otherwise provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Visionary shall in all cases
have the right to abandon the Facilities and convey title to the City, if such transfer or assignment is
requested by the City in writing.
Section 14. Vegetation Management. Visionary shall have the authority, but not the obligation, to trim
trees and other natural growth in the Rights-of-Way in order to access and maintain its Facilities in
compliance with applicable law and industry standards. This right shall in no way impose a duty on
Visionary; instead, this right gives permission to Visionary should Visionary elect to conduct such activities
from time-to-time in order to access and maintain its Facilities. Prior to trimming trees or other natural
growth in the Rights-of-Way, Visionary shall give adjacent private property owners at least twenty-four
(24) hours prior written notice.
Section 15. Renewal. At least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term
of this Ordinance, Visionary and the City shall meet, using best faith efforts, to begin negotiating Franchise
renewal.
Section 16. Revocation of Franchise for Non-Compliance.
16.1 In the event the City believes that Visionary has not complied with the terms of this Ordinance, the
City shall informally discuss the matter with Visionary. If those discussions do not lead to resolution of
the problem, the City shall notify Visionary in writing of the exact nature of the alleged non-compliance.

7

16.2 Visionary shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of the written notice described in subsection 16.1
to either respond to the City, contesting the assertion of non-compliance, or otherwise initiate reasonable
steps to remedy the asserted non-compliance issue, notifying the City of the steps being taken and the
projected date that the steps will be completed.
16.3 In the event that Visionary does not comply with subsection 16.2, above, the City shall schedule a
public hearing to address the asserted non-compliance issue. The City shall provide Visionary at least ten
(10) days prior written notice of and the opportunity to be heard at the hearing.
16.4 Subject to applicable federal and state law, in the event the City, after the hearing set forth in subsection
16.3, determines that Visionary is non-compliant with this Ordinance, the City may:
A) Seek specific performance of any provision which reasonably lends itself to such remedy,
as an alternative to damages; or
B) Commence an action at law for monetary damages; or
C) In the case of substantial non-compliance with a material provision of the Ordinance, seek
to revoke the Franchise in accordance with subsection 16.5, below.
16.5 Should the City seek to revoke the Franchise after following the procedures set forth above, the City
shall give written notice to Visionary. Visionary shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to
object in writing and state its reason(s) for such objection. Thereafter, the City may seek revocation of the
Franchise at another public hearing. The City shall cause to be served upon Visionary, at least thirty (30)
additional days prior to such public hearing, a written notice specifying the time and place of such
hearing and stating its intent to revoke the Franchise. At the designated hearing, the City shall give
Visionary an opportunity to state its position on the matter, after which the City shall determine whether
or not the Franchise shall be revoked. Visionary may appeal the City’s determination to an appropriate
court, which shall have the power to review the decision of the City. Such appeal must be taken within
thirty (30) days of the issuance of the City’s determination. The City may, at its sole discretion, take any
lawful action which it deems appropriate to enforce its rights under this Ordinance in lieu of revocation.
Section 17. No Waiver of Rights. Neither the City nor Visionary shall be excused from complying with
any of the terms and conditions contained herein by any failure of the other, or any of its officers, employees
or agents, upon any one or more occasions to insist upon or to seek compliance with any such terms and
conditions. Each party expressly reserves any and all rights, remedies, and arguments it may have at law
or equity, without limitation, and to argue, assert or take any position as to the legality or appropriateness
of any provision in this Ordinance that it believes is inconsistent with federal or state law, as may be
amended.
Section 18. Transfer of Franchise. Visionary’s right, title or interest in the Franchise and Facilities shall
not be sold, transferred or assigned, or otherwise encumbered without written permission from the City,
except for a transfer or assignment to an entity that purchases all or substantially all of Visionary’s assets
located in Sweetwater County, any entity that acquires a majority of the equity interests in Visionary or a
direct or indirect parent company of Visionary, any newly created or surviving successor entity that results
from a merger, reorganization or consolidation involving Visionary or any sale, transfer, assignment, or
encumbrance to an entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Visionary, or for
transfers in trust, by mortgage, by other hypothecation, or by assignment of any right, title or interest of
Visionary in the Franchise or Facilities to secure indebtedness.

8

Section 19. Amendment. At any time during the Term of the Franchise, the City or Visionary may propose
an amendment or addendum to this Franchise by giving thirty (30) days written notice to the other of the
proposed amendment or addendum desired, and both parties thereafter, through their designated
representatives, will, within a reasonable time, negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon mutually
satisfactory amendments. No amendment may be adopted without mutual written agreement of the parties.
Section 20. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be held in default under, or in non-compliance with, the
provisions of this Ordinance, nor suffer any enforcement or penalty relating to non-compliance or default
(including revocation of the Franchise), where such non-compliance or alleged defaults occurred or were
