Hello Mr. Turner.
I am wondering if you are still looking into the Hope TV system? I also, received an email from Elk River TV stating that
Air Pipe ie taking over the Malden TV system from Elk River TV?
Please be advised that you must sign a joint use agreement with Avista Utilities in order to own/operate communication
cable on our poles.
Please provide your contact info such as: Regular mail address, phone number and full name so | can send on agreement
to you aa soon as possible for your signature.
You will want to provide an Certificate of Insurance naming Avista Utilities as additional insured to me as required by the
agreement.
Let me know via this email regarding the Hope and Malden TV systems whether or not Air Pipe is the new operator.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Subject: FVV: Joint Use with Aviata Utilities (Hope ID)
Hello Mr. Turner,
This email is in regards to our very brief conversation of your company possibly taking over the Hope TV system.
According to my records I invoiced the current operator for 377 pole attachments in Hope and the vicinity. The pole
rental is approximately$10 per pole per year. The rate is subject to change annually.
I have attached the Joint Check List for your use. This gives a"snap-shot"of the general requirements of what it takes to
become o Joint use customer with Avieta. Even though the TV cable has been installed on the poles for many years, |
have also included our construction standards and a design memo. These documents explain the standards we ask all
joint users to build to and how to design for any future cable installations. There is also a joint use agreement that would
need to be signed between our two companies. After you have reviewed this information and decide if you are going
forward with this endeavor, | can send you the agreement for signature.
While making your inquiry for the use ofAvista'afacilities, there are a few other items for you to look into before vveare
able to sign an agreement with AkPipe. You will need to see ifa franchise io necessary for your use of the poles. Avioho
would want to see the granted franchise or a letter from the governing body stating a franchise is not needed if that is the
case. There may be permits necessary to obtain. The joint use customer is responsible to obtain rights of way and
4

easements if required. Please see the insurance requirement on the Joint Check list. It is important you note the amount
for proof of insurance.
I do want to note that I tell all prospective joint use customers some poles on any given cable route may belong to the
phone company. You will need to work directly with Verizon if any of the TV cable is attached to their poles.
Here are a few more things to keep in mind as you review this situation. There is a forty (40) inch minimum separation
clearance from Avista's lowest secondary facilities. If the existing TV and or phone cables are not in compliance on any of
the poles you are looking at there could be some make ready expenses. Avista will need to check the communication
cables for proper clearance and strength of the poles. There could be some poles that may need to be replaced in order
to remedy clearance and/or strength issues. Should we find TV/phone with clearance issues, then the cost might be
shared between the existing communication companies. The TV cable you are interested in may have some existing
infractions that need correction. You would be taking this cable over on an "as is basis" and would be assuming that
responsibility of making sure the cable is to code going forward.
Once you have reviewed this information please feel free to call or email me with any questions. Our joint use
administrator is Frank Meland. He is an excellent resource and willing to meet with you to discuss this matter in further
detail. He can be reached at(509)495-4270 or by email at frank.meland(aa-)avistacorp.com.
Thank you for your inquiry and we look forward to hearing from you. (Please let me know that you received this email so I
know I have the correct address for you.)
