SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 2, 1996 <br />Minnegasco is operating under the old franchise and the old franchise language. <br />However, the old franchise has expired and his group is in the process of negotiating a <br />new franchise with Minnegasco. <br />Council Member Bergeson noted that when an issue such as this is approved by the City <br />Council, an expiration date is also included. Mr. Reinert agreed that an expiration date <br />should be added. <br />Council Member Kuether moved to issue a temporary permit expiring at the end of six <br />(6) months from today subject to further action by the City Council. This motion does <br />not constitute a franchise for Minnegasco or a franchise amendment. It is further <br />stipulated in this motion that Minnegasco will not be responsible for all rebates and/or <br />reimbursements should another gas utility be awarded a gas franchise for the middle <br />school and in all other respects, Minnegasco will defend and hold harmless the City from <br />claims arising from or related to the temporary permit. Council Member Neal seconded <br />the motion. Motion carried unanimously. <br />APPOINTMENT OF CHAIRPERSON FOR THE DECEMBER 11, 1996 <br />COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />Council Member Kuether moved to appoint Council Member Bergeson as temporary <br />chairman for the December 11, 1996 Council work session.
