Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8830, Approving a Loan Servicing Agreement with
Community Reinvestment Fund
The City has been a longstanding client of the Housing Resource Center (HRC), however,
resident usage of HRC's services has declined over time resulting in decreased payments
to HRC. HRC will discontinue these services at the end of 2017. HRC also administers the
City's home improvement loan program and the loans were serviced by a third party, the
Community Reinvestment Fund (CRF). With HRC discontinuing operations the City will
need to contract directly with CRF for servicing of the existing loans. Kennedy and Graven
has reviewed the proposed agreement.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed loan servicing agreement with Community
Reinvestment Fund.

Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing, Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance
937 an Ordinance Granting a Franchise to Comcast of
Minnesota, Inc., D/B/A Comcast to Construct, Operate, and
Maintain a Cable Communications System in the City of
Mounds View; Setting Forth Conditions Accompanying the
Grant of the Franchise; Providing for Regulation and Use of
the System and the Public Rights -Of -Way in Conjunction
with the City's Right -Of -Way Ordinance, if any, and
Prescribing Penalties for the Violation of the Provisions
Herein;
Introduction:
The City of Mounds View is a member of North Suburban Communications
Commission (the "NSCC"), a municipal joint powers entity formed by nine member
cities. The NSCC administers the cable franchises that each member city has with
Comcast and CenturyLink.
The current Comcast cable franchise was granted in 1998 for a fifteen year term.
Comcast and the NSCC commenced initial informal negotiations in 2011. Informal
negotiations did not result in an agreement and led to the parties following the formal
cable franchise renewal process set forth in federal law. That process included the
NSCC conducting a formal needs ascertainment and issuing a request for renewal
proposal to Comcast. Comcast submitted a formal renewal proposal. After holding a
public hearing on the renewal proposal, the member cities, upon the recommendation
of the NSCC, made a preliminary decision not to renew the Comcast franchise.
Comcast and NSCC sent the matter on to the Minnesota Office of Administrative
Hearings ("OAH") to have an Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") hear the matter and
prepare a recommendation to the NSCC on whether to renew the Comcast franchise.
While the matter was pending before OAH, Comcast and the NSCC agreed to
recommence informal cable franchise negotiations. These negotiations resulted in the
attached Comcast cable franchise agreement, which the NSCC has recommended for
adoption by the City. The NSCC also held a public hearing on behalf of its member
cities on August 3, 2017.
DISCUSSION

3. 5% Franchise Fee paid to each Member City.
4. Current PEG Grant Funding pursuant to 1994 MOU remains in place through

5. Starting January 1, 2018, Comcast will pay a 3% PEG Capital Fee.
• New NSAC PEG Sponsorship Agreement commences January 1, 2018.

amount of the new PEG fee will fluctuate per subscriber depending on the

6. 6 SD PEG channels, plus 2 HD PEG channels. One additional HD PEG channel
(3'd HD Channel) 60 months after the effective date. Comcast may simulcast all PEG
channels in HD.
• PEG Available to all subscribers regardless of tier of service.
• No provision for Universal Service (reception of PEG channels only at no
charge).

the Comcast public internet.
7. Network Services to the Commission and Member Cities.

Cities to the Commission.

Comcast will continue to allow PEG Video Sharing with neighboring
jurisdictions.

8. Level Playing Field
• Requirement to treat competitors similarly related to Franchise Fees, PEG
Funding, PEG Channels, and Customer Service.
o Side Agreement that current CenturyLink Franchise is treated
similarly.
Standard FCC customer service provisions and reporting.
10. Mutually acceptable audit and dispute resolution procedures and provisions.
11. Indemnification. Comcast will provide indemnification from any litigation arising
from the passage of the Franchise for a period of 6 months following the Effective Date
of the Franchise.
ACTIONS REQUESTED
The NSCC recommends approval of the attached cable television franchise ordinance.

approval by all of the member cities and acceptance by Comcast of the cable franchise,
the NSCC and Comcast would take action to terminate the formal cable franchise
renewal process pending before the OAH.

rate card rate for the components, except it is expressly understood that equipment
may be subject to inclusion in the bundled price at full rate card value. This
calculation shall be applied to every bundled service package containing Cable

SECTION 2. GRANT OF AUTHORITY AND GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. Grant of Franchise.
a. This Franchise is granted pursuant to the terms and conditions contained
herein
b. Nothing in this Franchise shall be deemed to waive the lawful requirements
of any generally applicable City ordinance existing as of the Effective Date.
C. Each and every term, provision or condition herein is subject to the
provisions of state law, federal law, and local ordinances and regulations.
d. This Franchise shall not be interpreted to prevent the City from imposing
additional lawful conditions, including additional compensation conditions for use of the
Rights -of -Way, should Grantee provide service other than Cable Service.
e. No rights shall pass to Grantee by implication. Without limiting the
foregoing, by way of example and not limitation, this Franchise shall not include or be a
substitute for:
i. Any other permit or authorization required for the privilege of transacting
and carrying on a business within the City that may be required by the
ordinances and laws of the City;
ii. Any permit, agreement, or authorization required by the City for Right -of -
Way users in connection with operations on or in Rights -of -Way or public
property including, by way of example and not limitation, street cut permits;
or
iii. Any permits or agreements for occupying any other property of the City or
private entities to which access is not specifically granted by this Franchise
including, without limitation, permits and agreements for placing devices
on poles, in conduits or in or on other structures.
f This Franchise is intended to convey limited rights and interests only as to
those Rights -of -Way in which the City has an actual interest. It is not a warranty of title or
interest in any Right -of -Way; it does not provide the Grantee with any interest in any
particular location within the Right -of -Way; and it does not confer rights other than as
expressly provided in the grant hereof.
g. This Franchise does not authorize or prohibit Grantee to provide
telecommunications service or other services, or to construct, operate or maintain
telecommunications facilities. This Franchise is not a bar to imposition of any lawful
conditions on Grantee with respect to telecommunications, whether similar, different or the
same as the conditions specified herein. This Franchise does not relieve Grantee of any
obligation it may have to obtain from the City an authorization to provide
telecommunications services or other services, or to construct, operate or maintain
telecommunications facilities, or relieve Grantee of its obligation to comply with any such
authorizations that may be lawfully required.
2. Grant of Nonexclusive Authority.
The City reserves the right to grant additional franchises or similar authorizations to
provide video programming services via Cable Systems or similar wireline systems located in the
public Rights -of -Way. It is not the City's intent to treat competitors in a discriminatory manner
and to advantage one competitor over another by regulation. If the City grants such an additional
franchise or similar authorization to use the public rights of way to provide such services and
Grantee believes the City has done so on terms materially more favorable than the Material
Obligations (defined below) under this Franchise, then the provisions of this paragraph will apply.
As part of the Grantee's franchise, the City has agreed upon the following terms as a
condition of granting the franchise which terms may place the Grantee at a significant competitive
6
disadvantage if not required of a competitor: a 5% franchise fee, PEG funding, PEG channels, and
customer service obligations (hereinafter "Material Obligations").
Within one year of the adoption of the competitor's franchise or similar authorization,
Grantee must notify the City in writing of the Material Obligations in Grantee's franchise that
exceed the Material Obligations of the competitors franchise to similar authorization. The City
shall have sixty (60) days to agree to allow Grantee to adopt the same Material Obligations
provided to the competitor, or dispute that the Material Obligations are different. In the event the
City disputes the Material Obligations are different, Grantee may bring an action in federal or state
court for a determination as to whether the Materials Obligations are different.
Nothing in this section is intended to alter the rights or obligations of either party under
state law, and it shall only apply to the extent permitted under applicable FCC orders. In no event
will the City be required to refund or to offset against future amounts due the value of benefits
already received.
This provision does not apply if the City is ordered or required to issue a franchise on
different terms and conditions, or it is legally unable to do so; and the relief is contingent on the
new franchisee actually commencing provision of service in the market to its first customer. This
provision does not apply to open video systems, nor does it apply to common carrier systems
exempted from franchise requirements pursuant to 47 U.S.C. Section 571; or to systems that serve
less than 5% (five per cent) of the geographic area of the City; or a system that only provides video
services via the public Internet.
3. Lease or Assignment Prohibited. No Person may lease Grantee's System for the
purpose of providing Service until and unless such Person shall have first obtained and shall
currently hold a valid Franchise or other lawful authorization containing substantially similar
burdens and obligations to this Franchise. Any assignment of rights under this Franchise shall be
subject to and in accordance with the requirements of Section 10, Paragraph 5 (Sale or Transfer of
Franchise).
4. Franchise Term. This Franchise shall be in effect for a period of ten (10) years
from the date of acceptance by Grantee, unless sooner renewed, revoked or terminated as herein
provided.
5. Previous Franchises. Upon acceptance by Grantee as required by Section 13 herein,
this Franchise shall supersede and replace any previous Ordinance granting a Franchise to Grantee,
as well as the November 3, 1994 Memorandum of Understanding, except as set forth in Section 6,
paragraph 8(b) (Access Support) herein.
7
6. Compliance with Applicable Laws Resolutions and Ordinances
a. The terms of this Franchise shall define the contractual rights and
obligations of Grantee with respect to the provision of Cable Service and operation of the
System in City. However, the Grantee shall at all times during the term of this Franchise
be subject to all lawful exercise of the police power, statutory rights, local ordinance -
making authority, and eminent domain rights of City. Except as provided below, any
modification or amendment to this Franchise, or the rights or obligations contained herein,
must be within the lawful exercise of City's police power, in which case the provision(s)
modified or amended herein shall be specifically referenced in an ordinance of the City
authorizing such amendment or modification. This Franchise may also be modified or
amended with the written consent of Grantee as provided in Section 13.3 (Amendment of
Franchise Ordinance) herein.
b. Grantee shall comply with the terms of any City ordinance or regulation of
general applicability which addresses usage of the Rights -of -Way within City which may
have the effect of superseding, modifying or amending the terms of Section 3 (Construction
Standards) and/or Section 8.5(c) (Reports and Maps to be Filed with City) herein, except
that Grantee shall not, through application of such City ordinance or regulation of Rights -
of -Way, be subject to additional burdens with respect to usage of Rights -of -Way which
exceed burdens on similarly situated Rights -of -Way users.
C. In the event of any conflict between Section 3 (Construction Standards)
and/or Section 8.5(c) (Reports and Maps to be Filed with City) of this Franchise and any
City ordinance or regulation which addresses usage of the Rights -of -Way, the conflicting
terms in Section 3 (Construction Standards) and/or Section 8.5(c) (Reports and Maps to be
Filed with City) of this Franchise shall be superseded by such City ordinance or regulation,
except that Grantee shall not, through application of such City ordinance or regulation of
Rights -of -Way, be subject to additional burdens with respect to usage of Rights -of -Way
which exceed burdens on similarly situated Rights -of -Way users.
d. In the event any City ordinance or regulation which addresses usage of the
Rights -of -Way adds to, modifies, amends, or otherwise differently addresses issues
addressed in Section 3 (Construction Standards) and/or Section 8.5(c) (Reports and Maps
to be Filed with City) of this Franchise, Grantee shall comply with such ordinance or
regulation of general applicability, regardless of which requirement was first adopted
except that Grantee shall not, through application of such City ordinance or regulation of
Rights -of -Way, be subject to additional burdens with respect to usage of Rights -of -Way
which exceed burdens on similarly situated Rights -of -Way users.
C. In the event Grantee cannot determine how to comply with any Right -of -
Way requirement of City, whether pursuant to this Franchise or other requirement, Grantee
shall immediately provide written notice of such question, including Grantee's proposed
interpretation, to the City with copy to the North Suburban Cable Communications
Commission, in accordance with Section 2.9 (Written Notice). The City or Commission
shall provide a written response within fourteen (14) days of receipt indicating how the
N.
requirements cited by Grantee apply. Grantee may proceed in accordance with its proposed
interpretation in the event a written response is not received within seventeen (17) days of
mailing or delivering such written question.
7. Rules of Grantee. The Grantee shall have the authority to promulgate such rules,
regulations, terms and conditions governing the conduct of its business as shall be reasonably
necessary to enable said Grantee to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this
Franchise and to assure uninterrupted service to each and all of its Subscribers; provided that such

and manage access (public, education, and government programming) (hereinafter "PEG
access") programming on the Cable System.
b. Grantee shall dedicate 6 Standard Definition ("SD") channels and 2 High
Definition ("HD") channels for PEG access (the "PEG Channels"). All Subscribers to
Cable Service offered on the System shall be eligible to receive such channels at no
additional charge. The PEG Channels shall be activated upon the effective date of this
Franchise and thereafter maintained. City may rename, reprogram, or otherwise change
the use of these channels in its sole discretion, provided such use is non-commercial,
lawful, and retains the general purpose of the provision of community programming.
Nothing herein shall diminish the City's rights to secure additional channels pursuant to
Minn. Stat. § 238.084, which is expressly incorporated herein by reference. City shall
provide ninety (90) days prior written notice to Grantee of City's intent to activate access
channels to the extent the maximum number agreed to herein are not already active.
C. Each PEG Channel(s) required by this Section shall retain the channel
designation/number it had as of the commencement of this Franchise term. Upon six (6)
months' notice to City, any access channel may be moved by Grantee, but in no event more
than once every two (2) years unless otherwise allowed by City, provided Grantee pays all
reasonable costs or expenses of the North Suburban Access Corporation (NSAC), or its
successor, arising out of the channel move including, but not limited to, equipment
necessary to effect the change at the programmer's production or receiving facility (school
frequency routing equipment, etc.), signage, letterhead, business cards, and reasonable
marketing or other constituency notification costs up to a maximum of $10,000. This
paragraph shall not apply to Regional Channel 6.
d. Sixty (60) months after the Effective Date, upon written request of at least
90 days' advance notice, Comcast will make available to the Commission an additional
HD PEG channel on the cable system.
e. The content of the I -ID PEG channels is up to the Commission. The
Commission may simulcast one or more of the existing PEG channels in HD and SD
formats, or it may choose to provide subscribers an HD channel that is programmed
differently than the existing SD PEG channels (for example, the Commission could create
a "best of HD PEG channel that carries a combination of HD public, educational and
16
government programming from the existing PEG Channels). If an HD PEG channel is
programmed differently, Comcast would have no additional obligation to provide an SD
simulcast of that channel.
f. Comcast will make available to the Commission the ability to place PEG
Channel programming information on the interactive channel guide by putting the
Commission in contact with the electronic programing guide vendor ("EPG provider") that
provides the guide service. Comcast will be responsible for providing the designations and
instructions necessary to ensure the channels will appear on the programming guide
throughout the jurisdictions that are part of the Commission and the costs of any necessary
headend equipment associated therewith. The Commission shall be responsible for
providing programming information to the EPG provider and for any costs charged by the
EPG provider, unless Comcast is required to pay for PEG EPG costs per applicable law or
national commitments. As part of this Franchise, Comcast is not agreeing to make detailed
guide functionality available for periods where the Commission chooses to distribute
different PEG programming via the same channel number (i.e. narrowcasting) to
subscribers in different communities that are part of the Commission.
g. Comcast will deliver the SD/HD PEG channels to Subscribers so that it is
viewable without degradation, provided that it is not required to deliver a PEG Channel at
a resolution higher than the highest resolution used in connection with the delivery of local
broadcast signals to the public. Comcast may implement SD/HD carriage of the PEG
channel in any manner (including selection of compression, utilization of IP, and other
processing characteristics) that produces a signal as accessible, functional, useable and of
a quality comparable (meaning indistinguishable to the viewer) to broadcast SD/HD
channels carried on the cable system.
h. The HD PEG channels will be assigned a number near the other high
definition local broadcast stations if such channel positions are not already taken, or if that
is not possible, near high definition news/public affairs programming channels if such
channel positions are not already taken, or if not possible, as reasonably close as available
channel numbering will allow. Grantee shall use its best efforts to group the HD PEG
channels together in simultaneous order.
i. The City acknowledges that HD programming may require the viewer to
have special viewer equipment (such as an HDTV and an HD-capable digital
device/receiver), but any subscriber who can view an HD signal delivered via the cable
system at a receiver shall also be able to view the HD PEG channels at that receiver, without
additional charges or equipment. By agreeing to make PEG available in HD format,
Comcast is not agreeing it may be required to provide free HD equipment to customers,
nor modify its equipment or pricing policies in any manner.
j. Comcast will provide a bill message announcing the launch of the HD PEG
Channels; however the City acknowledges that not all customers may receive the bill
message notice in advance of the channel launch in the interests of launching the channel
sooner.

and three MPEG encoder/transmitters and one multi -channel receiver device (capable of receiving
at least 3 remote video feeds) for the Commission's Master Control.
3. PEG Streaming. Grantee agrees to include the PEG channels in its in-home
streaming cable service application (currently Xfrnity TV App). Grantee will use reasonable
efforts to make the PEG channels available to Subscribers outside the home on its TV -TO -GO
Application, or equivalent.
4. Equipment. In the event Grantee makes any change in the Cable System and related
equipment and facilities or in its signal delivery technology, which requires the City or
Commission to obtain new equipment in order to be compatible with such change for purposes of
transport and delivery of the Access Channels to the Grantee's headend, Grantee shall, at its own
expense and free of charge to the City, the Commission, or its designated entities, purchase such
equipment as may be necessary to facilitate the cablecasting of the PEG Channels in accordance
with the requirements of the Franchise.
5. Grantee Not Liable. Neither the Grantee nor the officers, directors, or employees
of the Grantee is liable for any penalties or damages arising from programming content not

access channel, government access channel, leased access channel, or regional channel.
Charges for Use. There shall be no charge to the City for the use of the PEG
Channels.

as it continues to operate under this franchise: Payments of all grants under the 1994 MOU
through December 31, 2017; commencing January 1, 2018, Grantee shall pay to City three
18
percent (3.0%) of its Gross Revenues paid quarterly based upon revenues for the calendar
quarter. The first Gross Revenue payment shall be due on May 1, 2018, based on Gross
Revenues for the quarter beginning January 1, 2018 and ending March 31, 2018, and
thereafter, payments shall be due 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter, based on
revenues for that quarter, or if the franchise should terminate or be revoked, 30 days after
termination or revocation for any portion of quarter during which Grantee provided Cable
Service.
C. Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements, if Grantee has a valid and
binding sponsorship contract with an entity designated by the City/Commission to manage
any public access channel, the City agrees that Grantee may offset any amount it pays under
such contract against payments required above. Nothing in this section requires or shall be
deemed to require Grantee to make any payment that constitutes a franchise fee under 47
U.S.C. § 542.
d. The parties agree that any cost to the Grantee associated with providing any
support for PEG use required under this Franchise (including subscriber network drops and
equipment and service to public institutions and the provision of the dark fiber network
and PRISMA network and support for and payments made outside this franchise, if any),
shall not be offset from the franchise fee.
C. Grantee may itemize the PEG fees on Subscribers' invoices in accordance
with applicable law; provided, however, any PEG Fee charged to subscribers to recover
PEG funding provided in 2017 shall not exceed $6.00 per subscriber per month. Any
supplementary PEG fee levied by Comcast after January 1, 2018, to recover past
undereollections shall be set at 0.5% of cable Gross Revenues through December 31, 2019.
Any excess recovery shall be paid to the Commission at the same time as the Franchise
Fee payment.
9. Regional Channel 6. Grantee shall designate Channel 6 for uniform regional
channel usage to the extent required by law.

network to connect certain government buildings in the North Suburban Territory for
telecommunications services. Comcast or its Affiliate agrees to provide, operate, repair and
maintain a managed telecommunications network to City and/or Commission for the Term of the
Franchise in accordance with an executed Enterprise Services agreement, attached as Exhibits B,
B2, and B3. The Enterprise Services agreement shall set forth the locations, service, monthly fees

provision of services to the City. Where an executed Enterprise Services agreement conflicts with
19
any term or condition of this Section, the Enterprise Services agreement shall prevail; with the
exception that in the event Grantee enters into a franchise or Enterprise Services agreement or

the Grantee has liquidated all of its obligations with City, the Grantee shall furnish a bond
to City in the amount of $500,000.00 in a form and with such sureties as reasonably
acceptable to City (attached hereto as Exhibit F). This bond will be conditioned upon the
faithful performance by the Grantee of its Franchise obligations and upon the further

member cities of the Commission.

by City if the necessary action to correct such violation or liability is, in the sole
determination of City, of such a nature or character as to require more than thirty (30) days

than thirty (30) days to correct such violations or liability, commences the corrective action
within the thirty (30) days period and thereafter uses reasonable diligence to correct the
violation or liability.

Franchise or as a result of said default.
C. The rights reserved to City with respect to the performance bond are in
addition to all other rights of City whether reserved by this Franchise or authorized by law,
and no action, proceeding or exercise of a right with respect to the performance bond shall
affect any other right City may have.

damage incurred by City or any person as a result of any acts or omissions by Grantee
pursuant to this Franchise.
C. In addition to recovery of any monies owed by Grantee to City or any person

to the Franchise, City in its sole discretion may charge to and collect from the Letter of
Credit the following penalties:
i. For failure to provide data, documents, reports or information or to
cooperate with City during an application process or system review or as
otherwise provided herein, the penalty shall be $250.00 per day for each
day, or part thereof, such failure occurs or continues.
ii. Fifteen (15) days following notice from City of a failure of Grantee to
comply with construction, operation or maintenance standards, the penalty
shall be $500.00 per day for each day, or part thereof, such failure occurs or
continues.

the penalty shall be $500.00 per day for each day, or part thereof, such
failure occurs or continues.
iv. For Grantee's breach of any written contract or agreement with or to the
City or its designee, the penalty shall be $500.00 per day for each day, or
part thereof, such breach occurs or continues.

V. For failure to comply with any of the provisions of this Franchise, or other
City ordinance for which a penalty is not otherwise specifically provided
pursuant to this paragraph c, the penalty shall be $250.00 per day for each
day, or part thereof, such failure occurs or continues.

separate violation for which a separate penalty can be imposed.
e. Whenever City finds that Grantee has violated one or more terms,
conditions or provisions of this Franchise, or for any other violation contemplated in
Subparagraph c. above, a written notice shall be given to Grantee informing it of such
violation. At any time after thirty (3 0) days (or such longer reasonable time which, in the
sole determination of City, is necessary to cure the alleged violation) following local
receipt of notice, provided Grantee remains in violation of one or more terms, conditions
or provisions of this Franchise, in the sole opinion of City, City may draw from the Letter
of Credit all penalties and other monies due City from the date of the local receipt of notice.
f. Whenever the Letter of Credit is drawn upon, Grantee may, within seven
(7) days of such draw, notify City in writing that there is a dispute as to whether a violation
or failure has in fact occurred. Such written notice by Grantee to City shall specify with
particularity the matters disputed by Grantee. All penalties shall continue to accrue and
City may continue to draw from the Letter of Credit during any appeal pursuant to this
subparagraph.
City shall hear Grantee's dispute within sixty (60) days and render a final
decision within sixty (60) days thereafter.
ii. Upon the determination of City that no violation has taken place, City shall
refund to Grantee, without interest, all monies drawn from the Letter of
Credit by reason of the alleged violation.
g. If said Letter of Credit or any subsequent Letter of Credit delivered pursuant
thereto expires prior to thirty (30) months after the expiration of the term of this Franchise,
it shall be renewed or replaced during the term of this Franchise to provide that it will not
expire earlier than thirty (30) months after the expiration of this Franchise. The renewed
or replaced Letter of Credit shall be of the same form and with a bank authorized herein
and for the full amount stated in paragraph 2(a) of this Section.
h. If City draws upon the Letter of Credit or any subsequent Letter of Credit
delivered pursuant hereto, in whole or in part, Grantee shall replace or replenish to its full
amount the same within ten (10) days and shall deliver to City a like replacement Letter of
Credit or certification of replenishment for the full amount stated in Section 9.2(a) (Letter
of Credit and Liquidated Damages) as a substitution of the previous Letter of Credit. This
shall be a continuing obligation for any draws upon the Letter of Credit.
25
i. If any Letter of Credit is not so replaced or replenished, City may draw on
said Letter of Credit for the whole amount thereof and use the proceeds as City determines
in its sole discretion. The failure to replace or replenish any Letter of Credit may also, at
the option of the City, be deemed a default by Grantee under this Franchise. The drawing
on the Letter of Credit by City, and use of the money so obtained for payment or
performance of the obligations, duties and responsibilities of Grantee which are in default,
shall not be a waiver or release of such default.
j. The collection by City of any damages, monies or penalties from the Letter
of Credit shall not affect any other right or remedy available to City, nor shall any act, or
failure to act, by City pursuant to the Letter of Credit, be deemed a waiver of any right of
City pursuant to this Franchise or otherwise.
3. Indemnification of City.
a. City, its officers, boards, committees, commissions, elected officials,
employees and agents shall not be liable for any loss or damage to any real or personal

boards, committees, commissions, elected officials, employees and agents, from and
against all liability, damages, and penalties which they may legally be required to pay as a

C. Nothing in this Franchise relieves a Person, except City, from liability
arising out of the failure to exercise reasonable care to avoid injuring the Grantee's facilities
while performing work connected with grading, regarding, or changing the line of a Right -
of -Way or public place or with the construction or reconstruction of a sewer or water
system.

including court and appeal costs and reasonable attorneys' fees or reasonable expenses
arising out of the actions of the City and/or Commission in renewal of this Franchise. The

this Franchise, unless the City or Commission has received statutory notice of a claim based
upon the renewal of this Franchise. This obligation includes any claims by another
franchised cable operator against the City and/or Commission that the terms and conditions
of this Franchise are less burdensome than another franchise granted by the City or that

the policy, whether for nonpayment of premium, or otherwise, and whether at the request
of Grantee or for other reasons, except after sixty (60) days advance written notice have

From: Jon Sevald, City Planner / Supervisor
Item Title/Subject: Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 938, an
Ordinance amending Municipal Code, Section 502 regarding
On -Sale Intoxicating Liquor Licenses for Movie Theaters
(ROLL CALL VOTE)
Introduction:
New Vision Theaters is planning a major renovation of the Wynnsong 15 Theater,
including the addition of a bar. The theater is located at 2430 Mounds View Blvd.
Patrons will be able to purchase alcohol at the bar, and consume drinks while watching
a movie. The bar will require approval of an On -Sale Liquor License. On -Sale Liquor
Licenses are prohibited on property within 500' of a school or church property, unless e
minimum of 60% of the business' income is from food sales.'
Adjacent to the theater property is 2408 Mounds View Blvd, leased by the Mounds View
School District (Bridges Program). An ordinance amendment is necessary, if the
theater is to qualify for an On -Sale Liquor License.
Discussion:
New Vision Theaters has a 30 -year lease (1997-2027) of the Wynnsong 15 Theater.
Renovations of the theater is planned for 2018, and include the addition of a 70' curved
theater screen, reclining seats, renovations of the lobby, concessions, bathrooms, and
the addition of a bar.
The theater will be similar to New Vision's Oakdale 20 Theater, renovated in 2014.
Staff has spoken with the City of Oakdale's Police and Community Development
departments. Prior to its opening, the Police Department had concerns about underage
drinking within the theater, but since the addition of the bar, there have been no
problems.
Other north metro theaters known to serve alcohol include:
AMC Coon Rapids 16 New Vision Oakdale 20 Emagine White Bear
St Michael Cinema Marcus Oakdale Cinema
To proceed, there are two sections of the City Code that must be amended:
On -Sale Intoxicating Liquor Licenses may be issued to hotels, restaurants,
bowling centers, liquor stores, and exclusive clubs .2 The City Code must be
amended, adding "theaters" to this list.

Item 09B

Page 2
2. If within 500' of a school or church property, only businesses in which a minimum
of 60% of its income is from food sales, may obtain an On -Sale Intoxicating
Liquor License. The theater will include concession sales, such as sliders,
chicken fingers, pizza, hotdogs, nachos and popcorn, but this is not expected to
exceed 60% of the theater's revenues.
Pre-existing businesses, with or without 60% food sales which have or had On -Sale
Liquor Licenses, and are within 500' of a school or church property, include:
Moe's Restaurant, 0' from school property.
Mounds View Square (Mervin Liquor, former EI Loro), about 72' from church
property, and about 220' from school property.
The applicant is proposing that movie theaters with a minimum of 30% annual gross
sales consisting of food, qualify for an On -Sale Liquor License, and be excluded from
the 500' setback from school and church properties.
Staff is proposing a simpler amendment, which excludes movie theaters existing as of
September 25, 2017, from the 500' setback.
Summary
New Vision Theaters is requesting to amend Municipal Code, Section 502, allowing
movie theaters to qualify to obtain an On -Sale Liquor License, despite being set back
less than 500' from a school or church property.
An Introduction and First Reading was conducted on September 11, 2017. On
September 8th, Staff emailed the September 11th Staff Report to the School District
Superintendent, and Bridges Program Coordinator. The School District has not
submitted any comments.
A Public Meeting notice was published in the September 15, 2017 edition of the
Mounds View -New Brighton Sun Focus, and posted on the City's website.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends a Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 938, amending; (1)
City Code, Section 502.03, adding "movie theaters" to the list of businesses qualifying
for an On -Sale Liquor License; and (2) amending Section 502.04, Subd 2(b) excluding
movie theaters in existence as of (date of adoption) from the 500' setback.

Re: Liquor License — Mounds View Theater (Wynnsong 15)
Greetings Jou,
As discussed, New Vision Theatres is looking to obtain a liquor license as part of an overall Plan
to improve, upgrade and renovate the Mounds View theater. Our initial plans which ire being
finalized as we speak anticipate the reseating ofthe entire the atef with 1uxtuyrecline r seats, replace
all carpeting, paint, aisle lighting, along with new wall coverings in the auditoriums, new
concession stand, upgraded restrooms, a new bar and new lobby.
In order to stake this plan viable, we need to add as many amenities to the theater as possible,
especially a liquor license.
These proposed renovations are necessary to keep the theater relevant. As there is no shortage of
theaters in the Mounds View area (see attached competition map), failing to upgrade this theater
will eventually lead to a slow erosion of attendance and the possibility of the theater failing and
closing its doors.
?ire are looking forward to hearing from you and the city with the hope that our efforts will be
successful,
Regards,
Brett Marks

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Mark Beer, Finance Director
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8825 Approving a Marketing Agreement with Utility
Service Partners
Introduction:
Mounds View has been approached by representatives from Utility Service Partners, Inc. (USP),
regarding the National League of Cities "Service Line Warranty Program". This optional service
to our residents would cover sanitary service lines from the home to the main and/or all indoor
plumbing. The services are voluntary and no participation from the City is required aside from
permission to offer such services to the community. This program is offered by the National
League of Cities and is administered by USP.
Discussion:
The City Council discussed the proposed insurance program at the August 21, 2017 work session
and directed staff to move forward with the marketing agreement with USP. (attached) Kennedy
& Graven has reviewed the agreement and provided feedback (attached) regarding the addition
of a dispute resolution component within the agreement. USP has responded that they do not
generally include that in municipal agreements as customers would rarely approach the City as
the service agreement is strictly between USP and the homeowner. This would be a policy
decision for the City Council. The agreement is for three years, so if the City found that problems
arose during that time period the agreement could be changed at renewal or cancelled.
Recommendation:
Review the provided information and consider the attached
agreement with USP. The City would not be involved in the
collection of premiums. The only potential action to be taken
notice to residents of the availability of the voluntary program.

Subject: RE: NLC service line marketing agreement (MU125-11)
Scott:
I've reviewed this agreement. Below are my thoughts and comments.
1. This sewer line warranty program is endorsed by the National League of Cities and is administered by Utility
Service Partners. According to the NLC, the program is in effect in more than 300 cities across the County.
2. In Minnesota, the following cities appear to have approved the program:
a. Richfield;
b. Edina;
c. St. Louis Park; and
d. Oak Park Heights
3. Other cities, such as Roseville, have considered the program, but I was unable to easily confirm whether they've
chosen to participate.
4. According to a survey conducted of claims made between May 2013 and May 2015 of 206 total claims made, 41
(out of 45 of those responding) said that they would recommend the program to other homeowners.
5. From what I've seen, the program appears to be relatively straightforward. The City does not incur any cost or
liability, and it receives a share of the profit raised from the sale of warranty policies (similar to a franchise fee).
6. The program itself covers warranty coverage for various utilities, mainly sewer laterals and water lines. There is
also in-home plumbing coverage. Upon making a claim, according to the NLC and USP, a pre-screen and licensed
contractor will contact the homeowner within one hour to coordinate repairs. The repairs are made at no
additional cost to the homeowner.
With respect to the agreement, I have the following minor considerations:
1. Section 6— Notice. Strike "Jim Ericson" and replace with "City Administrator".
2. 1 would suggest that, similar to other franchises, the Agreement include a complaint process. For instance, as
with telecomm franchises, the City will forward complaints to the Franchisee who is contractually bound to
address those issues within a certain period of time. Failure to address such concerns may result in termination
of the agreement. Given the exclusive nature of this agreement, and the fact that residents of the City are likely
to equate the program as being offered by the City under the marketing scheme, the City should require the
franchisee to address problems that arise. We don't want to get into a situation where the City is being held out
as a partner to an organization that is wrongfully denying or failing to timely process claims, for instance. I did
not find any documented complaints about these behaviors related to this program, but it is reasonable for the
City to include such a protection.
3. 1 do not see an issue with the exclusive nature of this program. I am unaware of any other reputable
organization or program that exists which provides this type of protection , so it is unlikely that another entity
would seek approval to operate this type of program in the City. Additionally, this agreement only prohibits the
City from agreeing to let another entity use the City as a partner (i.e., use of the City's letterhead). I do not
interpret this agreement as prohibiting another entity from offering identical coverage to homeowners without
participation of the City.
a. In short, the exclusive license being granted is for the use of the City's intellectual property, NOT an
exclusive license or right to operate a program that offers warranty coverage for privately -owned
utilities.
Please let me know if you would like to discuss.
Andrew

RE: Edits to Marketing Agreement
Mark,
Thanks for the update. With respect to the comments provided, I think it's up to the City at this point. Based on the
terms of this Agreement, USP is getting the ability to use the City's logo in its marketing, essentially holding the City and
USP out as partners with respect to the product offered. I think that it is inevitable that should a problem arise, some
residents may equate those marketing materials, and that partnership, as a sign that the City should be responsive to
any issues that arise. That is one of the reasons that we include those types of mandatory customer service provisions in
agreements like these, to hold companies accountable when the City learns that they are not providing satisfactory
service to the customers/residents.
That said, I think it's a policy question whether the City is satisfied with the other terms of this Agreement. For instance,
the City, in return for allowing USP to use its logo and whatnot, will receive some financial benefit. Maybe that's enough
to justify the relationship. The benefit to requiring some level of customer service satisfaction was that failure to
achieve that benchmark would give the City the ability to terminate the contract and force USP to stop using the City's
marketing materials.
Based upon my previous note, I am not aware of any issues that have arisen related to this product in other
communities. Based on that, I think that it is probably acceptable to move forward without the addition of such a
provision, but that is a policy question that should be ultimately considered and decided by the City.
Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks
Andrew

Hi Mark,
Sorry to get back to you later than anticipated. Our attorney was out of the office a few days last week which caused the
delay. After reviewing with him, he informed me that a complaint process is not something we generally put in
municipal agreements, because in our experience it is rare for customers to approach the city rather than just calling us
since the service agreements are strictly between USP and the homeowner.
We do have a dispute resolution process, here are some details about that below:
USP's frontline customer service agents are able to achieve ane -call resolution for the vast majority of customer
issues. on the rare occasion that a customer dispute requires a higher level of resolution, USP' process is as follows:
issues that require additional root cause analysis or the tracking of actions to achieve resolution are
referred to the Customer Advocacy Team, a group of seasoned professionals with full accountability
for resolving the concern. The team is highly skilled in issue resolution and members are giving the
latitude within the organization to resolve virtually any issue quickly and fairly.
The Account Management Team (on will be assigned to Mounds View), the day-to-day contact for
each of our partners, ensures that the partner is fully aware of the situation and the solution that
USP is offering and keeps the partner apprised throughout the process.
I'd be happy to speak with you directly if need be, my number is 347-628-9910. Section 6 Notice change reflected in
attached version.
Thanks,
-Deryck

Subject: RE: Update from 8/21 council work session
Deryck, here are the two comments from our attorney that would need to be addressed. If you could provide language
regarding item #2 from your attorney or if you prefer I can extract some language from a franchise agreement let me
know.
Thanks, Mark
1. Section 6 — Notice. Strike "Jim Ericson" and replace with "City Administrator".
2. 1 would suggest that, similar to other franchises, the Agreement include a complaint process. For instance, as
with telecomm franchises, the City will forward complaints to the Franchisee who is contractually bound to
address those issues within a certain period of time. Failure to address such concerns may result in termination
of the agreement. Given the exclusive nature of this agreement, and the fact that residents of the City are likely
to equate the program as being offered by the City under the marketing scheme, the City should require the
franchisee to address problems that arise. We don't want to get into a situation where the City is being held out
as a partner to an organization that is wrongfully denying or failing to timely process claims, for instance. I did
not find any documented complaints about these behaviors related to this program, but it is reasonable for the
City to include such a protection.

Hi Mark,
I know Jim Ericson is no longer with the city. Jim's away message on his email said to reach out to you for assistance. I
met with Jim back on 7/26 to review the National League of Cities service line repair program, and was invited to
introduce to council on the 8/21 work session agenda. At that work session agenda council instructed Jim to review the
marketing agreement so that the agreement and program could be added to future agenda for approval.
Did Jim review this with you or is there somebody else I need to reach out to for follow up?
Thanks,
Deryck

received approval to renovate the former office / warehouse space for church usage. At
the same time, the Church expressed its desire to support worthy community endeavors

by the city and the Church that would be "in harmony' with their mission and values.
Discussion:
Representatives from the City, the Community Center and the Park & Recreation
Commission have discussed potential funding opportunities for the second half 2017
service project fund donation which totals $16,170.50. A number of programs and
improvements which had been reviewed by the representatives were highlighted for
Bethlehem's consideration. The Church's Pastor for Outreach, Vince Johnson,
responded with a letter dated September 12, 2017, recommending the following
disbursement schedule:
® Shield 616 (protective gear for MVPD) $6,500

• Ralph Reeder (food shelf) $2,500
o Early Learning Readiness Program $1,500
• Meeting Room Audio Visual Equipment $3,000
• Miscellaneous $ 170.50
Recommendation:
Attached for your consideration is Resolution 8828, a resolution which accepts the
donation from Bethlehem Baptist Church in the amount of $16,170.50 and authorizes the
distribution of the donations according to the Church's recommendations.
Respectfully submitted,
