Accordingly, staff recommends that $254,000 be transferred from the City's General Insurance Fund to the LC Walker Arena fund to cover project costs. The funds will be repaid over a 10-year period with interest (2.0%). FINANCIAL IMPACT: Monthly payments in the amount of $2,337.14 will be made from the LC Walker Fund to the General Insurance fund commencing December 1, 2004.

If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a duly \ ____......,·verizonwire/ess VL'.R!ZOM V\flhtLJ x::s;:} P/\Gli\!(i SO! .trr!Ol\J{3 cus·roMEik f\(;1,EEMf;hlT appointed arbitrator to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of its invalidity or nnenforceability, and the remainder of such provision and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 18. Wireless Number And/Or Internet Address: Carrier will assign one wireless telephone number (also referred to as an "access number", "pager number", or "wireless number"), cap code and/or Internet address, if applicable, to each unit in service. Customer agrees that it does not have any property right or ownership in the wireless number, cap code or Internet address or in the personal identification number ("PIN(s)") the Customer or Carrier may establish. Carrier may change the Customer's wireless number if Carrier determines it is necessary to comply with regulatory and/or commercial requirements, however, Carrier shall not arbitrarily change Customer's wireless number and in the event of change Carrier shall specifically advise Customer of the reason for such change. 19. Charges: 19 .1. Charges: Customer is required to pay a monthly service charge, and charges for shipping of equipment, messages, packets and/or pages over the monthly limit, and charges for activation, suspension, reconnection, termination and exchanges, if applicable, as well as fees related to Carrier's regulatory and/or governmental costs. 19.2. Tax: If any federal, state or local govermnent tax, fee, duty, or surcharge (collectively referred to as a "Tax") is required by applicable law to be collected from Customer by Carrier, then (a) Carrier shall bill Customer for such Tax, (b) Customer shall timely remit such Tax to Carrier, and (c) Carrier shall, where applicable, remit such collected Tax to the appropriate taxing authority. If Carrier does not collect a Tax because Customer has provided Carrier with evidence of exemption, and if such as an exemption is later determined to be inadequate, then, as between Carrier and Customer, Customer shall be liable for such uncollected Tax and for all interest, penalties and additions to Tax which are determined to be due with respect to such uncollected Tax. 20. Authority: The parties hereby represent that they have full power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and know of no contracts, agreements, promises or undertakings that would prevent the full execution and performance of this Agreement. 21. Reservation of Rights: Either party's waiver of any of its remedies for a breach by the other party shall not operate to waive any other remedies available to it, nor shall such waiver operate to waive rights to any remedies for a future breach, whether of a like or different character. 22. Dispute Resolution And Mandatory Arbitration: INSTEAD OF SUING IN COURT, BOTH PARTIES AGREE TO SETILE DISPUTES (EXCEPT CERTAIN SMALL CLAIMS) ONLY BY ARBITRATION. THE RULES IN ARBITRATION ARE DIFFERENT. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY, AND REVIEW IS LIMITED, BUT AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF, AND MUST HONOR THE SAME LIMITATIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT, AS A COURT WOULD. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW WE EACH AGREE THAT: 22.1. THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT APPLIES TO THIS AGREEMENT. ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY PRIOR AGREEMENT FOR WIRELESS SERVICE WITH CARRIER OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR PREDECESSORS IN INTEREST, OR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE PROVIDED UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR SUCH A PRIOR AGREEMENT, OR ANY ADVERTISING FOR SUCH PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, WILL BE SETILED BY ONE OR MORE NEUTRAL ARBITRATORS ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS BEFORE THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION ("AAA") OR BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU ("BBB") AS DESCRIBED BELOW. (IF CUSTOMER'S LOCAL SMALL CLAIMS COURT OFFERS ARBITRATION, CUSTOMER MAY ALSO USE THAT PROCESS FOR ANY DISPUTE THAT QUALIFIES.) THIS DOES NOT CHANGE CUSTOMER'S SUBSTANTIVE RIGHTS, WST THE POTENTIAL FORUMS FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES. IN ADDITION, CUSTOMER CAN STILL BRING ANY ISSUES CUSTOMER MAY HAVE TO THE ATTENTION OF APPROPRIATE FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND THEY CAN STILL, IF THE LAW ALLOWS, SEEK RELIEF AGAINST CARRIER ON CUSTOMER'S BEHALF. 22.2.FOR CLAIMS OVER $10,000, THE AAA'S WIRELESS INDUSTRY ARBITRATION ("WIA'') RULES WILL APPLY. FOR CLAIMS BETWEEN $2,500 AND $10,000, THE AAA'S ARBITRATION RULES FOR THE RESOLUTION OF CONSUMER-RELATED DISPUTES (THE "CONSUMER RULES"), WHICH INCLUDE A SMALL CLAIMS COURT OPTION, WILL APPLY. FOR CLAIMS UNDER $2,500, THE COMPLAINING PARTY CAN CHOOSE EITHER THE CONSUMER RULES OR THE BBB'S RULES FOR BINDING ARBITRATION. AN ARBITRATOR MAY, UNDER ANY OF THESE RULES, REQUIRE EACH PARTY TO EXCHANGE RELEVANT EVIDENCE IN ADVANCE. IN LARGE/COMPLEX CASES UNDER THE WIA RULES, THE ARBITRATORS MUST APPLY THE FEDERAL RULES OF EVIDENCE AND THE LOSER MAY HAVE THE AWARD REVIEWED BY APANELOFTHREE(3)NEW ARBITRATORS. vrrzli:C)f\!
