Mounds View City Council October 13, 2008 <br />Regular Meeting Page 8 <br /> <br />Mayor Marty indicated that he agreed that there is nothing in that ground right now and Xcel 1 <br />would be disturbing the site to install the gas line, and the City should be compensated for that. 2 <br /> 3 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Marty. To Amend to Require Verizon to Pay a Fee for Use of the 4 <br />Right of Way. 5 <br /> 6 <br />Council Member Mueller said that she sees the Verizon service as a benefit to residents as the 7 <br />City has seen that the phone lines are changing from landlines to cell phone use, and Verizon is a 8 <br />large supplier of that service. She then said that she would not want to do anything to harm 9 <br />resident’s service over some unknown expense to run a gas line through City property to allow 10 <br />backup coverage in the event of a catastrophe. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Council Member Hull asked if Attorney Riggs gave any recommendation of what fee would be 13 <br />reasonable. 14 <br /> 15 <br />Clerk Administrator Ericson indicated that he discussed with the City Attorney the need to 16 <br />differentiate this situation because this is a lease situation where Verizon is leasing space from 17 <br />the City as a for profit entity. The Attorney’s opinion is that since Verizon needs to increase the 18 <br />amount of property they are leasing it is reasonable to require a fee. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Council Member Stigney indicated that there is an amendment to use a diesel generator for 21 <br />backup and, this has nothing to do with public safety and everything to do with what is fair and 22 <br />equitable for the use of the City’s property by a for profit entity. 23 <br /> 24 <br /> Ayes – 2(Marty/Stigney) Nays – 3 Amendment failed. 25 <br /> 26 <br /> Ayes – 3 Nays – 2 (Marty/Stigney) Original Motion carried. 27 <br /> 28 <br />8.
