have obtained individual permits for each site from the Public Works Department. The
Agreement also allows Mobilitie to add additional facilities, up to a total of thirty, by amendment
approved by the City Manager. Any facilities beyond thirty would require a new Agreement and
approval by the City Council.

Agreement.
