PUBLIC (HEARINGS •
Mayor Linke opened the public hearing to consider an Electrical Energy
Franchise Agreement with Northern States Power at 7: 07 p.m. Samantha
Orduno, City Administrator, reviewed Staff Report 92-352C regarding
Ordinance No. 517 Approving an Electrical Energy Franchise Agreement with
Northern States Power Company. Orduno stated that the purpose of this
franchise is to grant NSP permission to construct, operate, repair and
maintain an electric distribution system within the City of Mounds View.
Orduno further stated that this franchise provides for clear, concise
performance stipulations both for the City and NSP in regards to the use of
public ground, relocation of electric facilities, and required permit
procedures. The-f-r-anchise-agreement-was-reviewed-by NSP and_by theCity
Attorney. The franchise agreement is modeled after the old franchise
agreement. The agreement gives the City more control with regard to
permitting processes.
Bill Lang, 2915 Bronson Drive, stated he was a seven year resident of the
City and was satisfied with the fiscal responsibility of the Council. Mr.
Lang asked why 20 years was selected for the franchise agreement and does
the agreement contain a termination clause.
Mayor Linke response was that 20 years is the standard timeframe of an
agreement of this type and the agreement does contain termination language
both for NSP and for the City.

gular Meeting August 24, 1992
Naja Werner, 2765 Sherwood Road, asked what is the difference between this
franchise agreement and the franchise agreement that is being proposed.
Mayor Linke explained that now inspections can be performed on Northern
States Power and also, Northern States Power has to get permits to do work
in the City.
Orduno stated that the this franchise is the same as the current franchise
other than it contains new language with regards to permits. The new part
of-the agreement is the__payment schedule.
Bill Frits, 8072 Long Lake Road, stated that if the City gives NSP the
franchise that gives them a monopoly to give gas and electric to anyone in
Mounds View.
Mayor Linke stated that it is a non-exclusive franchise with Northern States
Power but for practical purposes it is exclusive.
Bill Frits asked how much of the City is on tax increment financing.
Mayor Linke responded, 2%.
'11
Frits asked how Everest and Sysco will be affected. Will those
sinesses also pay' Northern States Power and will those funds be returned
to the City?
Mayor Linke stated that those businesses will pay to NSP and the funds will
be returned to the City. Mayor Linke also explained that this is not part
of homeowner's property tax. This franchise will add 4% on the resident's
electric bill. This is a fee but it could be considered as a tax.
Naja Werner asked Northern States Power if residents would have in a
decision, where the neighborhood is older and cable has to be replaced,
overhead or underground.
Mr. Dave Schwartz, Northern States Power representative, stated that when
NSP renews areas it normally does overhead to overhead. Schwartz stated
that to convert a home to underground would take an electrician. Residents
would definitely have a say.
Joe Foss, 8358 Knollwood Drive, presented some environmental concerns to the
Council and the public.
A general discussion followed regarding environmental issues regarding
individual communities as well as global communities.
Mayor Linke stated that this franchise is a document that addresses Northern
Agates Power to provide electricity to the City of Mounds View and that it
simply a26Xdocumentf operation.

Mr. Foss sited some statistics regarding certain cities not using hardwoods.
from the rain forest and why.
Mayor Linke stated that the City of Mounds View does use recycled material,
when possible. The City's letterhead and envelopes as well as copy paper
are recycled products.
Bill Frits asked about the pipe being installed on Long Lake Road and to is
safety for the environment. Mr. Frits stated that NSP is running gas line
(plastic) on Long Lake Road and leaving the old, large steel line in place
and it will not be removed. Mr. Frits wanted to know how this would affect
the environment.
Dave Schwartz, NSP representative, stated that the old lines are generally
always left in place. These are steel lines and all they do is rust.
Pat Rickaby, Councilmember, stated that perhaps Joe Foss's suggestions were
not practical for application to this document, but it is the right of
citizens to make their views known. Pat stated that the City has an
Environmental Quality Task Force and perhaps Mr. Foss would be interested in
joining that group. It is important to gather more people to do things for
the environment.
Mayor Linke asked that if Mr. Foss is interested he should fill out an
application.
Bill Frits stated he was on that task force once buy he quit receiving
information and notification of their meetings.
Mayor Linke closed the public hearing at 7:34 p.m.

agreement and another ordinance would establish the fee.
Jim Thomson, City Attorney, stated that Ordinance 517 pertains to
the electric franchise, Ordinance 518 to the gas franchise and
and Ordinance 519 to establish a fee if the Council so chooses.

Aligands View City Council Page Five
11Pgular Meeting August 24, 1992
Franchise Agreement with Northern States Power Company. Orduno stated that
the purpose of this franchise is to grant NSP a new 20 year franchise to
construct, operate, repair and maintain facilities and equipment for the
transportation, distribution, manufacture and sale of gas energy in
the City of Mounds View. This franchise agreement is modeled after the
existing gas franchise but also incorporates stipulations currently used in
the metro area. The franchise further provides for a monthly payment
schedule for payment of franchise fees in the event such fees are imposed.

411tayor Linke opened the public hearing to consider the implementation of a
s and electric franchise fee at 7:40 p.m. Samantha Orduno, City
Administrator, reviewed Staff Report No. 92-353 regarding the implementation
of a gas and electric franchise fee. Orduno went through the rationale for
the fees including the history of why the street light utility and gas and
electric franchise fee revenue programs via transparencies. The street light
program was implemented last November and will automatically terminate on '
December 31, 1993 unless reenacted by the Council after the required public
hearing. Orduno further stated that franchise fees represent an alternative
taxation method which constitutes a broadening of the tax base to include
all users of City services and does not place additional tax burdens on the
one taxation method over which residents have little control, property
valuation and subsequent property tax calculation. These fees-would-be-paid
by all users and would be less out-of-pocket expense than a property tax
would be.
Rich Wollins, Pioneer Schwinn, 2661 County Road I, who is on the Board of
Directors for the Mounds View Business Association. Mr. Wollins stated that
in his opinion this is a business tax. Imposition of a further tax on
businesses which could cause the City to loose these businesses, especially
those who depend on large amounts of electricity. By imposing this tax it
makes this City uncompetitive. If the businesses leave the residents will
pick up the taxes for the vacant properties. Rich Wollins complemented the
City on its staff and stated that the Council has done an outstanding job.
Mr. Wollins stated that he felt the tax increment financing that has been
Wne in the City was a good move. When the dividends come on line it will
eatly help the City.

Bill Werner asked what Schwinn's percentage would be in regard to the gas
and electric fee. Mr. Wollins stated it to be $470.
Phil Sipe, 2400 County Road J, Sysco, stated that he is in the food
warehouse business where he needs to maintain ambient temperatures. The
refrigeration and frozen areas use a tremendous amount of electricity. This
franchise fee would be a tremendous disadvantage to his business.
Charlie Hall, Mermaid, 2200 Highway 10, for the past twenty years. Mr. Hall
stated he is happy and proud to have his business in Mounds View. Mr. Hall
complemented__S_ama thaon _being a_ very good business person. Mr. Hall went on
to say that he doesn't drive a nice new car, nor does his wife or daughter -
- that he just doesn't have the money to purchase a new car. Mr. Hall
stated that the Mermaid looks like a flourishing business, but it takes a
lot of electricity to keep the building running. Mr. Hall stated that he
used to pay the highest property tax in the City. Mr. Hall believes
everyone should pay their fair share. Perhaps each person should pay a
higher tax. NSP could raise the franchise fee to 5% or 6%. One suggestion
might be to give the people who use alot of electricity and gas a cap. Mr.
Hall proposed a cap of $200 to $300. Mr. Hall stated that he doesn't have
an extra $2600 per year. Mr. Hall stated he paid $78, 000 in taxes three
years ago. I.t is tough to do. In 1987/88 Mr. Hall stated that he went to
the bank to borrow money to stay in business. Mr. Hall stated he simply
can't afford anymore. •
Ed Donatelle, 5269 Jeffrey Drive in Mounds View, resident and owner of
Donatelle's Supper Club. Mr. Donatelle stated that he doesn't have the
money to hand over that easily for another tax. Mr. Donatelle stated that
perhaps the City could delay this franchise fee and put a task force
together to study another alternative. Mr. Donatelle stated that because he
is a resident he will also pay an additional $100 to $200 for his use of
electricity and gas at home.
Neal Hamlin, 2260 Woodale Drive, owner of Garment Graphics: Mr. Hamlin
explained that he owns a business that consumes alot of electrical energy.
Mr. Hamlin stated—that—his companyprovides125 to 150—fun—time—jobs—In
• • - en who s•oke above Mr. Hamlin leases
his building and his lease is up in two years. Mr. Hamlin stated that it
would be taxes like this which would make him consider moving out of the
City.
Rich Wollins stated that if the tax is imposed the City of Mounds View will
be on the road to seeing more vacant buildings. The City should wait for
the economic situation to turn around. Another tax will just force people
out.
Mayor Linke asked Mr. Wollins if he would rather see the possible
implementation of a franchise fee or an increase in property tax.
Mr. Wollins stated the he would rather see the property tax because it wou.
ounds View City Council Page Seven
gular Meeting August 24, 1992
be less. A discussion followed regarding what the average homeowner would
end up paying in comparison to the business with regards to both property
tax and implementation of the franchise fee.
Charlie Hall stated that he just took his first week's vacation since 1988.
Mr. Hall stated that he has 130 employees that look to him to have their
check be good. Mr. Hall stated that he had to go to the bank once already
to stay in business. Hall further stated that he has put in energy saving
lights and he can't afford to turn the lights down because someone will trip
and will sue_him. Mr. Hall said he works at the Mermaid just like everyone
else cleaning toilets, bussing tables and cutting grass.
Bill Werner, 2765 Sherwood Road asked how much money will the total business
community pay?
Orduno stated that she did not receive the franchise agreement in time to
calculate it out. The businesses are paying more.
Sue Hankner, 8046 Woodlawn Drive, stated that the city has put no serious
increases on the residents over the last ten years due to very conservative
City Council over that period of time. Out of a resident's tax dollar the
County receives 27 percent and the school district 5 percent. The people
alio up here and talk about this tax and Hankner stated she does not
\Philosophically agree with it either, but the school district and the County
are really the culprits. No one goes to their meetings and challenges them.
No one holds County Commissioner Duane McCarty responsible for the decisions
that he makes. Mr. McCarty blames others. Someone has to hold the County
accountable. Someone has to stop the school district. The school district
did not like the City Council looking at their budget. Hankner stated that
the City of Mounds View has excellent business people and that perhaps the
Mayor could invite them in and show them the budget and meet with other
political subdivisions and give the County some suggestions on how they
might operate.
Naja Werner asked Sue ask -ed if—the Councilmembers—should—be—down—atthe
County meetings and school district meetings.
Hankner suggested the people of the community should be at those meetings.
Naja Werner stated that the School District and Council do not listen to
them. Werner stated that at a Council Meeting in November discussing the
franchise fee and people objected to it because it was just another tax.
Werner stated that the people chosen to represent the residents made the
decision and didn't listen to the people.
Naja went on further to say that the City is a bloated bureaucracy. The
City needs to cut back and have staff do more work.
*
yor Linke stated that the City is not a bloated bureaucracy. There are 39
11 time employees working for the City which is four square miles wide and
has a population of 13 , 000 people. Mayor Linke compared surrounding cities
Mounds View City Council Page Eight
Regular Meeting August 24, 1996
to Mounds View and also stated that the City is overtaxing the people
employed now.
Councilmember Quick pointed out to the residents how much of the burden is
being shifted from the County to the City with regards to road turnbacks.
It was further pointed out the Ramsey County dispatch services will increase
by $13, 000. Starting in 1993 there will be an approximate increase to the
City of $5, 000. more to process prisoners. These costs are all out of the
City's control.
-rduno_stated- that—thererias—am excellen roup of well informed people at
the meeting. The City has only hired four new staff people in the last five
years. The City took over snowplowing to save funds. The City is trying to
save money.
Orduno stated that the City will now have to pay sales tax and it is not
clear on what sales tax will have to paid. The ADA law will cost the City
lots of money. AWAIR law making sure cities have a safety commissions and
to do safety audits. The City is mandated to make sure all residents have
an environmentally safe garbage collection service. The franchise fee is a
way to make revenues to meet the needs of the residents with affecting the
homeowners property taxes.
A general discussion evolved regarding who will be paying the most in
dollars with the implementation of the franchise fee, commercial, industrial"
or residential.
Bill Lang, resident, commented that the franchise fee is tax deductible for
the businesses as a business expense and will save quite a bit of money.
This would be a tax savings of approximately 40%. 34% is the statutory tax
rate for corporations and 9% on Minnesota state tax. Mr. Lang further
stated that he did not realize that there was going to be a street light
utility and a franchise fee. He stated that he understood it would be on or
the other.
Laurie Schley, 8423 Khdllwood Drive, stagthat everyone should—be—asking
the Council and the County Commission and members of the School Board to
promote clarity on the system. The problem is that it is a difficult
property tax system to understand and most people, unless they have a PhD
can't figure it out. Schley stated that she is in opposition to the fee
because she does not want to pay NSP to buy down her property taxes. Ms.
Schley stated she would rather pay the taxes and know what she is paying.
Mayor Linke stated that there are three ways to raise revenues for the City.
One is property taxes, another would be enterprise or user fees and the
other would be franchise fees.
Joe Foss commented on ways to create funds through more energy efficient
ways of using fuels which are less damaging to the environment.

alar Meeting August 24, 1992
Councilmember Rickaby stated that regarding environmental concerns gas is
more environmentally safe that fuel oil and those users are not being taxed.
People using natural gas are subsidizing those who are using less
environmentally safe ways. This fee taxes those of us who are using better
methods of heating environmentally.
Rickaby further stated that as far as budget and taxes, that this is nothing
more than a tax. Rickaby stated that the people should be taxed and the
City should be straight about it. The City is under a crunch, businesses
are under a crunch and homeowners are too. Everybody needs an income and
has to come up with creative ways to bring money in. --Ricka�y sta e - a
the City has not finished the budget process but is looking at another
source of revenue or tax and then deciding what to spend it on. The City
has been frugal in the past because of levy limits. The City now can
increase your taxes however much it wants.
Mayor Linke stated that the Council sat down and figured out the costs of
services the City is providing for the last four years. There has been an
increase in only one step and that is a police officer which has been needed
for the past three years. Mayor Linke stated that perhaps Councilmember
Rickaby should have set her priorities and been at the last budget meeting.
.uncilmember Rickaby stated that the budget meetings sheattended were
dressed to "pie in the sky" items. Councilmember Rickaby stated that the
meeting had been changed to a night where she had a conflict with the
Environmental Quality Task Force Meeting that she needed to attend and that
she had set her priorities.
Naja Werner stated that she is in agreement with the lady who spoke
previously. Increase the property taxes if necessary.
Bill Frits commented that the City needs to look where it is going and what
it can do about this economic situation that is out of control. The City
has to decide whether or not to implement a tax ,or fee or cut costs..
Bill Frits stated that it had been said that the City will receive more
money because the churches and school district will pay the franchise fee.
Where does the school district get money for franchise fee -- the school
district will increase the taxes on NSP and then back to Mounds View.. '
Mayor Linke stated that the City has burdens that it has no control of. The
City has not raised services and added only one police officer. Linke
stated that property taxes do not give the City the opportunity for control.
Councilmember Quick stated that if the money from NSP comes in monthly the
State can't get its fingers into it like it can when it is half in July and
half in December. This is a continuous form of cash flow and it does buy
4Nwn the taxes. The state takes away the Local Government Aid. Federal
kes away from state, the county from the city, state from the county and
city, city from the city and the city dumps on the residents.

Charlie Hall thanked the Council for listening. Mr. Hall stated that the
businesses are willing to pay their fair share. Mr. Hall encouraged to set
a cap on the franchise fee for businesses so that such .a large percentage
isn't taken from such a small group.
Dave Schwarz, NSP, stated that the franchise fee is a direct tax to
consumers. NSP does pay personal property tax in Mounds View and real
estate taxes that are at the same mill as any other commercial property.
Some of this the County gets through fiscal disparities, part goes to the
school district and then to the City. NSP is in opposition to the franchise
fees, but it is not NSP's position to intervene.
Mayor Linke stated that he has been very pleased with Northern States Power
and how they have dealt with the City.
Bill Frits asked how much is paid per month for the streetlights in Mounds
View. The amount was $48 , 000 per year.

B. Council directed staff to obtain a quote from Short-Elliott-
Hendrickson to research and recommend as to the feasibility
of an 18 hole golf course rather than a 9 hole golf course.
An investigation analysis would involve review of maps,
field review and identification of wetland boundaries and a
financialana pis--The cost would he $4_,-500 to be charged
to the Golf Course Development Fund
Councilmember Rickaby stated that this is just another effort to change
existing wetland boundaries on the Watson properties. Rickaby stated
that she is against bringing wetland boundaries in to meet City
purposes.
Mayor Linke stated that this is an investigation to see if there is any
wetland on the property.
Councilmember Quick stated that a portion of the land is wetland --
• but he didn't know if it was high or low quality. Councilmember
Quick found Councilmember Rickaby's comment insulting. Quick stated
that it is just another assumption that the intent of this Council is
to dump every wetland in the City. Councilmember Quick further stated
that the indication from the survey is that the residents of the want
the City to own a golf course and want the City to operate it and use
profits in whatever way the City sees fit.
MOTION Quick moved to direct staff to negotiate a contract with
Short-Elliott-Hendrickson not to exceed $4,500 to do a investigational
analysis on the Watson property. SECONDED BY Councilmember Wuori.
It was asked what the golf course had in the account. There is,
approximately $60, 000 in that account.
Councilmember Quick stated that he is a member of the Golf Course
Task Force. Quick stated that it is important to have this
information. Short-Elliott-Hendrickson is well known in their
ability to delineate wetlands and let the City know what can and
can't be done. SEH is familiar with the federal, state and wetland
ordinances. The City is not going to go in and dump, fill and rape
the wetlands. That is a fabrication. The City could not go in and
buy the wetlands for $90, 000 per acre. It would bust the budget.
Councilmember Rickaby stated that no one is accusing the City of
raping, dumping or filling the wetlands. Those are the words of
Councilmember Quick. Rickaby stated that the City does attempt to
change boundaries.

Item Description: ORDINANCE NO. 517 APPROVING AN ELECTRICAL ENERGY FRANCHISE
AGREEMENT WITH NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY
Administrator's Review/Recommendation:
- No comments to supplement this report
- Comments attached.
Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.)
SUMMARY:
Attached please find the proposed ordinance which would grant Northern
States Power a new 20 year franchise with the City of Mounds View.
The purpose of the franchise is to grant NSP permission to construct,
operate, repair and maintain an electric distribution system within the
City of Mounds View. It also provides for clear, concise performance
stipulations both for the City and NSP in regards to the use of public
ground, relocation of electric facilities, and required permit procedures.
The franchise has been reviewed and approved both by the City Attorney and
representatives from NSP. It is a standard franchise, modeled, in part,
after the existing franchise but also incorporating language and
stipulations currently standard in many metro area cities.
One provision which has changed is the payment schedule for franchise fees.
The previous franchise provided for annual payment of franchise fees, the
new agreement provides for a monthly payment schedule.
The new franchise is not an exclusive franchise and is consistent with
State requirements.
The franchise, if approved by the Council, will become effective 60 days
after its adoption.
The expense of publishing the ordinance will be paid by NSP.
Sam Orduno, City Admi istrator

MU125-11
3 .2 . Field Locations . The Company shall provide field
locations for any of its underground Electric Facilities within a
reasonable period of time on request by the City. The period of
time will be considered reasonable if it compares favorably with
the average time required by the cities in the same county to

3 .3 . Permit Required. The Company shall not open or disturb
the paved surface of Public Ground for any purpose without first
having obtained a permit from the City, for which the City may
impose a reasonable fee. Permit conditions imposed on the Company
shall not be more burdensome than those imposed on other utilities
for similar facilities or work. The Company may, however, open and
disturb the paved surface of Public Ground without permission from
the City where an emergency exists requiring the immediate repair
of Electric Facilities . In such event the Company shall notify the
City by telephone to the office designated by the City before
opening or distributing a paved surface of Public Ground. Not
later than the second working day thereafter, the Company shall
obtain any required permits and pay any required fees .

interfere with the use of such poles or towers by the Company, by
another electric utility, by a telephone utility, or by any cable
television company or other form of communication company. In
addition, the City shall pay for any added cost incurred by the
Company because of such use by City.

Company to relocate its Electric Facilities located therein. The
Company shall relocate its Electric Facilities at its own expense.
JM839308
MU125-11 3
The City shall give the Company reasonable notice of plans to
vacate for a City improvement project, or to grade, regrade, or
change the line involving any Public Ground or to construct or
reconstruct any City Utility System. If a relocation is ordered
within five years of a prior relocation of the same Electrical
Facilities, which was made at Company expense, the City shall
reimburse the Company for non-betterment expenses on a time and
material basis, provided that if a subsequent relocation is
required because of the extension of a City Utility System to a
previously unserved area, the Company may be required to make the
subsequent relocation at its expense. Nothing in this Ordinance
requires the Company to relocate, remove, replace or reconnect at
its own expense its facilities where such relocation, removal,
replacement or reconstruction is solely for the convenience of the
City and is not reasonably- necessary -or-the construction- or -
reconstruction of Public Ground or City Utility System or other
City improvement. Nothing herein relieves any person from
liability arising out of the failure to exercise reasonable care to
avoid damaging Electric Facilities while performing any activity.
The City may further require the Company to relocate or remove
its Electric Facilities from Public Ground upon a finding by City
that the Electric Facilities have become or will become a substan-
tial impairment of the public use to which the Public Ground is or
will be put. The relocation or removal shall be at the Company' s
expense.
` 3 . 7 . Projects with State or Federal Funding. Relocation,
removal, or rearrangement of any Company facilities made necessary
because of the extension into or through City of a federally-aided
highway project shall be governed by the provisions of Minnesota
Statutes, Section 161 .46 as supplemented or amended. It is
understood that the right herein granted to Company is a valuable
right. City shall not order Company to remove, or relocate its
facilities when a Public Way is vacated, improved or realigned
because of a renewal or a redevelopment plan which is financially
subsidized in whole or in part by the Federal Government or any
agency thereof, unless the reasonable non-betterment costs of such
relocation-and the_loss_and exp_ense_resulting therefrom are first
paid to Company, but the City need not pay those portions of such
for which reimbursement to it is not available.
3 . 8. Vacation of Public Ground. The City shall give the
Company at least two weeks ' prior written notice of a proposed
vacation of a Public Ground. Except where required for a City
street or other improvement project, the vacation of Public Ground,
after the installation of Electric Facilities, shall not operate to
deprive the Company of its rights to operate and maintain such
Electrical Facilities, until the reasonable cost of relocating the
same and the loss and expense resulting from such relocation are
first paid to the Company. In no case, however, shall the City be
liable to the Company for failure to specifically preserve a
right-of-way, under Minnesota Statutes, Section 160 .29 .
JMS39308
MU125-11 4
SECTION 4 . FRANCHISE FEES.
4 . 1. Separate Ordinance. During the term of this franchise,
the City may impose on the Company a franchise fee of not more than
four (4%) percent of the Company's gross revenues as hereinafter
defined. The franchise fee shall be imposed by a separate
ordinance duly adopted by the City Council, which ordinance shall
not be adopted nor fee be effective until 60 days after written
notice enclosing such proposed ordinance has been served upon the
Company by certified mail. Section 2 .5 shall constitute the sole
remedy for solving disputes between the Company and the City in
regard to the interpretation of, or enforcement of, the separate
ordinance. No action by the City to implement a separate ordinance
will commence until this ordinance is effective. No preexisting
ordinances--impost/1g a-few shall- be -ef feet-rve--agans-tom e Compang-- _
unless it is specifically awarded after the effective date of this
ordinance following the procedures of this section 9 for the
adoption of a new separate ordinance. A separate ordinance which
does not impose a uniform franchise fee on all revenues within the
definition of gross revenues shall not be effective against the
Company.
4 .2 . Terms Defined. The term "gross revenues" means all sums
received by the Company from the sale of electricity to its retail
customers within the corporate limits of the City. Gross revenues
excludes any surcharge or similar addition to the Company' s charges
to customers for the purpose of reimbursing the Company for the
cost resulting from the franchise fee.
4 . 3 . Collection of the Fee. The franchise fee shall be
payable monthly, and shall be based on the gross revenues of the
Company during the preceding month. The payment is due on the last
business day of the month following the month for which payment is
to be made. The percent fee may be changed by ordinance from time
to time; however, each change shall meet the same notice require-
ments and the percentage may not be changed more often than
annually. Such fee shall not exceed any amount which the Company
may legally charge its customers prior to payment to the City by
imposing a surcharge equivalent to such fee in its rates for
electric service. The time and manner of collecting thfranchise
fee is subject Lo the approval of the Public Utilities Commission,
which the Company agrees to use best efforts to obtain. The
Company agrees to make its gross revenues records available for
inspection by the City at reasonable times .
SECTION 5 . TREE TRIMMING.
The Company may trim all trees and shrubs of the City' s Public
Grounds interfering with the proper construction, operation, repair
and maintenance of any Electric Facilities installed hereunder,
provided that the Company shall hold the City harmless from any
liability arising therefrom, and subject to permit or other
reasonable regulation by the City.
JMS39308 5
MU125-11
SECTION 6 . INDEMNIFICATION.
6 . 1 . Hold Harmless . The Company shall indemnify, keep and
hold the City free and harmless from any and all liability on
account of injury to persons or damage to property occasioned by
the construction, maintenance, repair, inspection, the issuance of
permits, or the operation of the Electric Facilities located in the
City. The City shall not be indemnified for losses or claims
occasioned through its own negligence except for losses or claims
arising out of or alleging the City' s negligence as to the issuance
of permits for, or inspection of, the Company' s plans or work. The
City shall not be indemnified if the injury or damage results from
the performance in a proper manner of acts reasonably deemed
hazardous by Company, and such performance is nevertheless ordered
or directed by City after notice of C-ompany~s—determinati-c r.
6 . 2 . Litigation. In the event a suit is brought against the
City under circumstances where this agreement to indemnify applies,
the Company at its sole cost and expense shall defend the City in
such suit if written notice thereof is promptly given to the
Company within a period wherein the Company is not prejudiced in
defense of the claim by lack of such notice. If the Company is
required to indemnify and defend, it will thereafter have control
of such litigation, but the Company shall not settle such litiga-
tion without the consent of the City, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. This section is not, as to third parties,
a waiver of any defense or immunity otherwise available to the
City. The Company, in defending any action on behalf of the City
shall be entitled to assert in any action every defense or immunity
that the City could assert in its own behalf.
SECTION 7 . CHANGE IN FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
Any change in the form of government of the City shall not
affect the validity of this Ordinance. Any governmental unit
succeeding the City shall, without the consent of the Company,
succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the City provided
in this Ordinance.
SECTION 8 . SEVERABILITY.
If any portion of this franchise is found to be invalid for
any reason whatsoever, the validity of the remainder shall not be
affected.
SECTION 9 . PREVIOUS FRANCHISES SUPERSEDED.
This franchise supersedes any previous electric franchise
granted to the Company or its predecessor.
SECTION 10 . NO WAIVER.
Failure to enforce any of these provisions shall not be deemed
a waiver of any provision of this franchise.
314839308 6
MU125-11
SECTION 11 . AMENDMENT.
This ordinance may be amended at any time by the City passing
a subsequent ordinance declaring the provisions of the amendment,
which amendatory ordinance shall become effective upon the filing
of the Company' s written consent thereto with the City Clerk within
90 days after the effective date of the amendatory ordinance.

SUMMARY;
Attached please find the proposed ordinance granting Northern States Power
a new 20 year franchise to construct, operate, repair and maintain
facilities and equipment for the transportation, distribution, manufacture
and sale of gas energy in the City of Mounds View.
Similar to the previously discussed ordinance regarding an electric
franchise, the gas franchise governs the use of public ground, restoration,
relocation of gas facilities, street improvements and required permits.
Similar to the electric franchise, the gas franchise is modeled after the
existing gas franchise but also incorporates stipulations currently used
in the metro area. The franchise further provides for a monthly payment
schedule for payment of franchise fees in the event such fees are imposed.
The franchise agreement is not an exclusive franchise and the cost of
publishing the ordinance will be paid by NSP.

Explanation/Summarv_iattachspleme_nt sheets as necessary.)
SUMMARYi
Last November, the Council considered implementation of two user-fee based
revenue programs: a street light utility and franchise fees on gas and
electric utilities. Both programs were developed to create a much needed
program and services revenue without affecting an already overburdened
property tax system.
The impetus for consideration of two such programs was based on the
following factors:
* Continued reductions of Local Government Aids
* Continued costly non-funded State mandates
* Restructuring of property tax classifications resulting in
less property tax. revenue at a time when operational costs
are increasing.
* A weak economy resulting in lower investment earnings, less
development, fewer expansive residential building permits.
* Declining residential market values, again resulting in less
revenue
* Need to reduce dependence on LGA.
* Need to create a more equitable method of receiving revenues
from-all—C-ity service users,
* Prevention of severe reductions in essential services and
elimination of expected services and programs.
The street light utility was adopted with a "sunset" clause causing the
program to automatically terminate on December 31, 1993, unless reenacted
by the Council after the required public hearing. The street light utility,
although a user-fee based program, does not raise additional revenue for

General Fund programs, but rather replaces property tax revenue
with utility revenue to pay the electric costs for the City's
street lights. Revenue from the street light utility cannot be
used for any General Fund expenditure.
The franchise fee, which was always presented as a form of
taxation, would have raised approximately $260,000 annually and
also could have been used to offset property taxes by funding
police, fire and other essential General Fund programs. The
franchise fee was not adopted. One of the reasons was that the
franchise agreements provided only for a one-time annual payment
after a one year time period. Members of the Council and many
residents objected to the fact that the franchise fees would be
collected over a one year period but the City would not receive the
revenues nor any interest gained from the monies for an additional
year. Such an arrangement was deemed unacceptable by the City
Council.
In 1992 another factor was added to the eight precipitating factors
previously outlined -- imposition by the State onto cities of the
6.5% sales tax. The result was a projected $35, 000 to $40, 000 non-
budgeted increase in operational costs for the City in 1992 and a
projected operational increase of $80, 000 for budget year 1993 .
While levy limits were lifted, the potential threats to future LGA
reductions still loom into the future for budget year 1993 and
beyond.
A crystal ball does not exist anywhere that can foretell the degree
to which cities will lose promised revenue from the State, the
economy will begin visible recovery and property values will end
their decline. What we do know is that resident expectations and
demands for services continue to increase and the City's operating
budget-is far below-the-rate of inflation. The-1992-General Fund
operating budget is almost 2% below the 1991 budget. Inflation for
1992 is between 3 .8 and 4%. On June 1, 1992 the City began paying
6.5% sales tax on all specified expenditures -- this was not a
budgeted item and, in effect, further decreased the City's
operating budget.
Earlier this year, staff was directed to negotiate a new franchise
agreement with Northern States Power which would incorporate a
provision for a monthly payment of franchise fees effective after
only a 30-90 day period. This timeframe is required to allow the
Public Utilities Commission to give the necessary approval.
A new franchise agreement was negotiated with NSP which provided
for the monthly payment of franchise fees.
STAFF REPORT
AUGUST 24, 1992
PAGE THREE
The franchise fee provisions of both the gas and electric franchise
agreements provide for a maximum of 4% of the utility company's
gross operating revenues to be paid to the City for use of the
public land, use of the City's equipment, staff and services and
for the privilege of conducting a gas and electric energy business
within the City limits.
The franchise fee is a form of taxation. It has never been
presented otherwise— fit ism—form of taxation because the bottom_
line result from the City's imposition of the fee onto NSP is that
the company will pass the cost onto the residential, commercial and
industrial users in Mounds View.
However, franchise fees represent a fair and equitable method of
taxation and are a common, acceptable business practice which is
not new to Mounds View, nor new to the cities in and around the
Metro area.
Several years ago, Mounds View and 9 other Ramsey County cities
entered into a franchise agreement with Group W Cable Company. The
franchise allowed Group W to operate and maintain cable operations
in the cities. As part of that franchise, a franchise fee of 5% of
gross operating revenues was imposed on the cable company by each
of the 10 cities. The company passed those costs onto the customers
and is reflected in what each customer pays for basic cable
service.
However, the revenue the City receives from the franchise fee can
only be used to fund the City's municipal cable operations and the
10 city Cable Commission.
There are no such restrictions on utility franchise fees. The funds
can be used to buy down property taxes and fund necessary programs
without further encumbrances on a person's home or business
property tax. Prop?rty tax inrreasPs can be held at bay, but at the
same time the City will have funds to continue programs which the
residents desire (summer playground programs, senior citizen
programs, the D.A.R.E. program, neighborhood watch, maintenance of
City parks and recreation facilities) . It will also provide funds
to initiate programs and services which have been delayed,
previously eliminated because of levy limits and revenue decreases
or develop new programs and services which the residents have
requested (senior housing, redevelopment of Highway 10 and business
retention programs for current Mounds View businesses. Our
businesses are an important, viable part of our community and the
City must be involved and participate in programs which keep
businesses strong and growing. Unfortunately, such programs are
not without cost, many Federal and State grant programs require
City matching funds.
STAFF REPORT

Franchise fees represent an alternative taxation method which
constitutes a broadening of the tax base to include all users of
City services and does not place additional tax burdens on the one
taxation method over which residents have little control --
property valuation and subsequent property tax calculation.
As directed, Staff has prepared the ordinance implementing a 4%
franchise fee on Northern States Power's electric and gas operating
revenues.

State law requires that all cities of 5, 000 or more persons
ensure that all businesses and residential households either have
solid waste collection or are using an "environmentally sound
alternative" . In order to comply with the law, cities may
organize solid waste collection, provide the collection, or
require by ordinance that every household and business has a
contract for collection service.
Please find attached Ordinance No. 516, which requires that all
• residential homes, apartment buildings, mobile homes, and
commercial businesses contract with a licensed hauler for
collection services. The ordinance contains a provision for

ATTN: Samantha Orduno,City Administrator
Dear Ms. Orduno:
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to continue providing professional services for
the City of Mounds View.We look forward to a continued positive working relationship
toward completion of an exciting golf course development in the community.This letter
• serves as a supplement to our current contract with you, and reflects project elements
discussed in our meeting with you on August 12,1992,as well as follow-up conversations
this past week.
As requested, following is a list of tasks associated with investigating and providing
recommendations on an 18-hole, par 3 golf course concept (including Watson property
north to County Road J). Included in the investigation is a golf course concept layout,
financial analysis, and an overview of wetland delineation boundaries pertaining to the
Watson property. In addition, we have also included pertinent financial information
relating to the existing nine-hole golf course concept in light of forthcoming appraisal
estimat-ops.
The following tasks have been identified:
Task 1 - Wetlands Investigation (Watson Property)
In order to determine the available area of the Watson property for golf course purposes,
better identification of wetlands is necessary. The National Wetland Inventory (NW')
maps prepared by the Corps of Engineers and the current area contours over aerial
photography information will be utilized. In addition, field review of wetland
characteristics will further be undertaken to verify general wetland delineation
boundaries. No specific site surveying will be done at this time.

The following subtasks will be undertaken:
A. Review and analysis of NWI maps,City wetland maps,contours over aerial
photography maps for wetland identification on the Watson property.
B. Field review and identification of wetland boundaries using information from
-Subtask-A.
Estimated Fee: $700
Task 2 - Golf Course Concepts (including Watson Property)
Based on information currently available and field data from Task 1,an.18-hole,par 3 golf
course, with driving range, concept will be investigated. It can be noted that initial
research and discussion finds that a "regulation" 18-hole golf course is not feasible,even
with the addition of the Watson property
The subtasks associated with investigating the 18-hole golf course option indude:
• A. Golf course concept-site layout and graphics(using information.from Task 1)
B. Identification of acceptable 18-hole golf course concept elements for further
financial study
Estimated Fee: $2,800
Task 3 - Financial Analysis
The 18-hole, par 3 golf course development option will be reviewed from a financial
. standpoint. Financial analysis of the current 9-hole golf course concept will further be
updated focused onfurthering-estimated appraisal information.
The subtasks associated with the financial analysis overview include:
A. Revenue projections
B. Estimated expense calculations
C. Site acquisition/development costs (using researched appraisal costs
undertaken by City)
Estimated Fee: $800
The total fee range for the above work is estimated to be between $4,300 and a not-to-
exceed figure of$4,500.
