W I T N E S S E T H:
The City and Licensee enter into the following License Agreement (this “Agreement”),
effective from June 15, 2025:
1. The City of Burlington (the “City”) grants to Champlain Broadband, LLC, a domestic
limited liability company d/b/a Burlington Telecom (“Licensee”) an exclusive license (the
“License”) to occupy a portion of the public right of way (the portion of the right of way occupied
shall be referred to herein as the “ROW”) to use, repair, replace and maintain an amenity (the
“Amenity”) adjacent to 200 Church Street (the “Property”), as follows: a curbed retaining wall
for a flower bed or garden and a section of stairs leading to a doorway into the building located
upon 200 Church Street. For greater clarity, the doorway in question is to the right (south) of the
main entryway into the building.
2. The term of this License shall expire at 11:59 p.m. on June 30, 2045, unless sooner
terminated in accordance herewith or unless extended by the parties by mutual written agreement.
If this License expires according to its terms and is not extended, the Amenity may exist at
sufferance for so long as the City in its sole and absolute discretion shall allow, subject to
requirements for insurance and indemnification set forth herein, which shall survive termination
or expiration hereof for so long as the Amenity shall continue to exist.
3. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated as set forth below. Upon termination,
Licensee shall remove—at its own expense—the Amenity as provided in Section 16. If Licensee
refuses to promptly remove the Amenity, the City may remove it and the Licensee shall be liable
for all expenses of such removal.
A. Discontinued Use. The City shall have the exclusive right to terminate this
Agreement should Licensee or authorized assignee(s), heirs, or successors
discontinue the licensed use of the Amenity. Discontinuance of the licensed use of
the Amenity for the purposes of this paragraph will mean: abandonment of the
Amenity by means of removal, a zoning change, or otherwise, where the Amenity
clearly is no longer intended to be used as a part of the Property.
B. Breach. Licensee shall be in default if Licensee fails in any manner to fully
perform and carry out each and all conditions of this Agreement. The City shall
give Licensee written notice of such default. If Licensee does not within thirty (30)
days of receipt of written notice of default, or such longer time period as may be
permitted by the City, either cure such default or provide a plan to the City of how
it will cure such default which is reasonably acceptable to the City, then the City
may terminate this Agreement for cause. Licensee shall also be required to
undertake reasonable and diligent steps towards executing the cure described in
said plan.
Page 18 of 44
C. Licensee’s option to terminate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, Licensee may terminate this Agreement and the License at any time
upon written notice to the City, subject to Licensee’s obligations upon termination
under this Agreement.
D. City’s option to terminate. The City may terminate the License early to comply
with applicable law or in extenuating circumstances if the City provides Licensee
as much notice as reasonably practicable, removes the Amenity at its own expense,
requires its contractor doing the work to indemnify and defend Licensee and to
name Licensee as an additional insured on required policies of insurance, and pays
Licensee compensation equal to replacement cost new of the Amenity less straight
line depreciation assuming a twenty year life from July 1, 2025.
4. This Agreement shall run with the title to the Property and shall bind, and inure to the
benefit of, Licensee and its successors and assigns.
5. Licensee agrees to pay an annual License Fee with the execution of this Agreement of
$182.00 in consideration of the rights and privileges granted in this Agreement. Thereafter, the
annual License fee shall be paid to the City’s Department of Public Works Customer Service,
following receipt of an invoice from the City, on or before June 30th of each subsequent year. The
City shall invoice Licensee each year for the annual License Fee at least thirty (30) days before it
is due.
6. Nothing herein is intended to waive any of the City’s regulatory authority as a municipality
with respect to Licensee, the Property, the ROW, or the Amenity.
7. Licensee shall be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the Amenity at its expense
in good condition, such that the condition of the Amenity does not create a hazard to public safety.
This includes, without limitation, snow and ice removal from the stairs.
8. Licensee shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary City permits, including
excavation, obstruction, meter bag, zoning, and building permits, prior to any repair, maintenance
or reconstruction of the Amenity. The plans for future maintenance, repair or reconstruction of
the Amenity and associated appurtenances shall be subject to applicable local ordinances and all
federal and state statutes and rules. All work done and improvements made by Licensee pursuant
to this Agreement in connection with the Amenity shall be completed in accordance with any
governmental approvals and permits issued to Licensee and shall be made at Licensee’s sole cost
and expense.
9. Licensee shall restore the ROW materially damaged by any reconstruction, use, repair, or
maintenance of the Amenity by Licensee immediately following any such activity, in accordance
with all applicable governmental regulations, permits, laws, and approvals, and such restoration
shall be made at Licensee’s sole cost and expense.
10. Licensee shall perform all work in the ROW in a good and workmanlike manner, in
conformance with the requirements of any and all permits and permit requirements required for
such work. Licensee shall perform all work so as to cause no unnecessary damage or disturbance
Page 19 of 44
to the City’s rights of way or the utilities located therein or the public’s rights in them. In each
and every instance, following the completion of work performed by Licensee, Licensee shall
restore each portion of the City’s right of way adjacent to the ROW and Amenity that were
materially damaged by Licensee’s activities in an as good a state and condition as it was in
immediately prior to this Agreement.
11. Prior to exterior work on the Amenity, Licensee shall, as part of its permit application for
such work, submit to the City a plan, certification or report identifying all known utilities that may
reasonably be affected by the work. Such plan, certification or report shall include the type and
location of each utility identified. The City agrees to share any information it has concerning such
utilities with Licensee upon request.
12. Licensee shall use, repair, and maintain the Amenity in a manner that protects all utilities,
existing or future, located outside of the Amenity and within the City’s property abutting and
adjacent to the Amenity, and shall be responsible for the cost of repairing damage caused to a
utility by Licensee’s construction, maintenance and repair of the Amenity licensed by this
Agreement and shall reimburse said utility for the same.
13. Licensee shall conduct its licensed activities in a manner that does not impair the public
ROW, other than what is licensed hereby or permitted pursuant to other City approvals.
14. The City, including all its departments, offices, officials and employees, shall work in good
faith to facilitate permit approvals and other authorizations necessary for Licensee to carry out its
obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
15. Licensee shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City, its officers, officials, agents,
and employees from liability for any claims, suits, expenses, losses, judgments, damages, and costs
(including attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from the negligent acts or omissions or willful
misconduct of Licensee or of its officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, and
subcontractors on or related to Licensee’s use of the Amenity or its exercise of rights granted to it
under this Agreement, excepting any claims arising from the City’s own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. If the City, its officers, officials, agents, or employees are notified of any claims
asserted against it to which this indemnification provision may apply, the City shall promptly
thereafter notify the Licensee in writing that a claim to which the indemnification provision may
apply has been received. Licensee shall promptly retain counsel and otherwise provide a complete
defense against those claims or suit, or portion thereof, that are subject to this indemnification. The
City retains the right to participate, at its own expense, in the defense of any claim to which this
provision applies, and to approve all proposed settlements of claims involving payment or actions
by the City, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Under no conditions shall the City
be obligated to indemnify the Licensee or any third party, nor shall the City be otherwise liable for
expenses or reimbursement including attorneys’ fees, collection costs, or other costs, of the
Licensee or any third party incurred pursuant to this indemnification provision.
16. Following termination, Licensee shall within six (6) months (or such earlier time period as
may be reasonably required through no fault of the City), remove the Amenity at its own expense,
and reasonably restore the ROW. If Licensee refuses to remove the Amenity and restore the ROW,
Page 20 of 44
the City may remove the Amenity and restore the ROW, and Licensee or its authorized assignee(s),
heirs, or successors shall be liable for all expenses of such removal. Absent exigency, the City
shall grant reasonable extensions to the time allowed to remove the Amenity and restore the ROW.
17. Licensee agrees to provide and maintain the following types and amounts of insurance for
the term of this Agreement to insure against legal liability for injuries to persons (including
wrongful death) and damages to property suffered on or about the Amenity or as a result of
Licensees’ exercise of its rights granted pursuant to this Agreement; confirmation of required
insurance coverage for any renewal period in a form acceptable to the City Attorney shall be
provided along with the renewal license fee. Insurance shall be obtained from an insurer having

limits of at least $500,000 per accident and $500,000 per employee/$500,000 aggregate for

insured but shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against the City and provide thirty (30)
days’ notice of cancellation.
18. The License hereby conferred is a license coupled with an interest in the ROW. This
License does not confer an easement or any other estate in the City’s real property.
19. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be valid and enforceable unless in writing,
notwithstanding the passage of time. No waiver of any of the covenants, agreements or
provisions contained in this Agreement shall be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent
breach of the same or any other provision in this Agreement.

matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements except as otherwise stated herein.
There are no third-party intended beneficiaries of this Agreement. If any provision of this
Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Agreement shall remain in force and effect to the extent necessary to
effectuate the original intent of the parties as closely as possible. Ambiguities herein shall
not be construed against either party, but this Agreement shall be construed in such manner
as best effectuates its objects and purposes.

Dear Licensing Committee Members,
The Department of Public Works recommends approval of the License agreement submitted by
Burlington for the use of 182 square feet of public right-of-way at 200 Church. This recommendation is
based on a thorough review of the application and is subject to the conditions outlined below and
review by the City Attorney's Office.
City of Burlington is requesting this permanent encumbrance on the East Side of Church Street. City of
Burlington is establishing this license agreement prior to the sale of the building located at 200 Church
to Burlington Telcom. The proposal complies with the Burlington Code of Ordinances, specifically
Chapter 27-31(a), which allows for encumbrances those which exceed 60 days with the approval of
Licensing Committee Members. The DPW supports formalizing this through a License Agreement with
an annual fee of $1 per square foot totaling $182.00, payable through the City’s OpenGov Portal.
Therefore, I urge the Licensing Committee and City Council to approve this request, subject to the
aforementioned conditions and review by the City Attorney’s Office.
Sincerely,
Alice Schwencke
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Should you require further information, I am available at
