VISIONARY COMMUNICATIONS, LLC FRANCHISE AGREEMENT
AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A FRANCHISE TO VISIONARY COMMUNICATIONS, LLC ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS AFFILIATES (“VISIONARY”) TO OPERATE AND MAINTAIN A TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM (“SYSTEM”) IN THE CITY OF EVANSTON, WYOMING
The City hereby ordains that it is in the public interest to grant Visionary a Franchise to operate a System pursuant to the terms and conditions contained herein.
FINDINGS
In review of Visionary, the City of Evanston, 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 March 3, 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 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.
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, Visionary will pay the City a Franchise Fee of three percent (3%) of revenues received for 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 (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.
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 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.
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 16-4-201 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 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:
11.2 Policies Primary. All policies required hereunder shall be in effect for any Term of this Agreement. All policies shall be primary and not contributory. Visionary shall pay the premiums on all insurance policies, and all insurance certificates must include a clause stating that the insurance may not be revoked, canceled, amended, or allowed to lapse until the expiration of at least thirty (30) days advance written notice 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.
Section 12) Maps and Installation of Visionary’s Facilities.
12.1 All Facilities under authority of this Ordinance shall be used, constructed and maintained in accordance with applicable law.
12.2 Visionary shall provide to the City upon written request of Visionary such as-built maps and/or drawings as the City may reasonably request, in a form reasonably prescribed by the City, including electronic formats that can be imported into the City’s Geographical Information System (“GIS”). Visionary shall also provide as-built maps and/or drawings to City staff, when specifically requested. Facilities plans shall be filed within ninety (90) days of the effective date of this Ordinance and shall be updated upon completion of any significant 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.
12.3. Visionary shall, prior to commencing new construction (which involves disturbance of the Right-of-Way) 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.
12.4 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, 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.
12.5 If, during the course of work on its Facilities, Visionary causes damage to or alters the Rights-of-Way or other public property, Visionary shall replace and restore such Rights-of-Way or public property at Visionary’s sole cost and expense to a condition reasonably comparable to the condition that existed immediately prior to such damage or alteration.
12.6 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 to the extent feasibly possible or provide a price for adding empty conduit 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.
12.7 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.
12.8 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.
12.9 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.
12.10 To promote efficiencies, Visionary shall coordinate its work in the Rights-of-Way with the City and other users of the Rights-of-Way.
12.11 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.
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 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 these discussions do not lead to resolution of the problem, the City shall notify Visionary in writing of the exact nature of the alleged noncompliance.
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:
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 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 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 Uinta 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 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 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.
Section 19) Amendment. Except as may be provided herein, 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 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 fiber cut or other damage or 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 Visionary’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. Pursuant to the City’s authority under Wyo. Stat. Ann. Section 15-1-103(a)(xxxiii) and in recognition of the regulatory framework established by the Wyoming Telecommunications Act (Wyo. Stat. Ann. Section 37-15-101 et seq.), the parties acknowledge that this Franchise is subject to federal, state and local legal requirements.

Upon such notice, the parties shall enter into good-faith negotiations within sixty (60) days and shall make reasonable efforts to conclude such negotiations within thirty (30) days thereafter.
