15 IV.PUBLIC HEARING.
16
A.17 Ordinance 2023-05 – An Interim Ordinance Establishing a Moratorium on the Use of any
18 Land, Acceptance of Applications, or the Issuance of any City Permits, for the Sale,
19 Manufacture, or Distribution of any Cannabis Products Regulated Under Minn. Stat.
20 §342 and/or Minnesota Session Laws 2023, Chapter 63.
21
22 Mayor Stille opened the public hearing at 7:16 p.m.
23
24 City Planner Grittman reviewed before Council is an interim ordinance establishing a
25 moratorium on the use of land for sales, manufacturing, or distribution of cannabis products
26 within the Village. The State Legislature authorized both personal use and business activities
27 related to cannabis products in its 2023 session.
28
29 The Ordinance is to be considered following a public hearing, which has been noticed for this
30 meeting date.
31
32 Personal use (including use, possession, and growing) of these products became legal throughout
33 the state of Minnesota on August 1, 2023. The relevant statute authorized personal use in specific
34 areas, and prohibited it in others, although Cities are left to regulate a variety of public places
35 separately.
36
37 The Statute also authorizes business activities related so sales, manufacturing and distribution of
38 cannabis. These activities will be licensed through a new state “Office of Cannabis
39 Management”, which is still being established and staffed. As such, business activities are not
40 expected to begin prior to January 1, 2025. As such, the proposed interim ordinance establishes a
41 local moratorium through that date, allowing St. Anthony to study the land use and public health
42 issues related to the new law and create relevant regulations around businesses that may seek a
43 St. Anthony location. This interim ordinance addresses business aspects of cannabis only – the
44 personal use issues are not subject to the moratorium.
45

1 Staff recommends that the City Council adopts the proposed interim ordinance and directs staff
2 to conduct the relevant studies for City Council review and consideration.
3 Mayor Stille noted Council has attended sessions explaining the issues.
4
5 Councilmember Webster appreciated Mr. Grittman’s clarification of the moratorium that is
6 requested. Mr. Grittman explained the moratorium addresses the business side.
7
8 Mayor Stille asked when the moratorium can be lifted. Mr. Grittman stated it can extend through
9 January 1, 2025. This gives the City time to research further. It is expected to be lifted as soon as
10 the State’s Office is in place.
11
12 Mr. Grittman stated the City received a letter dated August 7, from eight signatories which was
13 included in the Council packet. Mayor Stille noted he read the letter believes the
14 misunderstanding about the sale of THC beverages and wanting the liquor stores to be able to
15 sell them.
16
17 Mayor Stille closed the public hearing at 7:24 p.m.
18
19 Motion by Councilmember Walker, seconded by Councilmember Webster, to adopt Ordinance
20 2023-05 – An Interim Ordinance Establishing a Moratorium on the Use of any Land, Acceptance
21 of Applications, or the Issuance of any City Permits, for the Sale, Manufacture, or Distribution of
22 any Cannabis Products Regulated Under Minn. Stat. §342 and/or Minnesota Session Laws 2023,

10
11 Motion carried 4-0.
12
C.13 Resolution 23-044 – Authorizing Staff to Contract with Rose City to Replace Dynamic
14 Display Sign at City Hall.
15
16 Assistant to the City Manager Miller reviewed the current McKay LED dynamic display sign
17 located at City Hall was installed in 2000 and is no longer working. Over the years we had been
18 fortunate to have one option for sign repairs unfortunately our repair service is no longer
19 available and we have been unable to locate alternative repair services for the sign.
20
21 Staff has participated in demonstrations from two vendors and is recommending Option #2 in
22 full color, from Rose City. The cost of the new sign is $53,231.00. This includes installation of a
23 new 15.85mm message center on our current sign base, removal and disposal of existing sign, 5
24 year warranty on parts & 1 year warranty on labor and lifetime cellular plan. Electrical hookup
25 for the new sign will be an additional charge. The sign is a budgeted item for replacement in
26 2024.
27
28 Highlights of the sign operation include:
29 Cloud based program, ability to edit from anywhere.
30 Ability to change color of text.
31 Ability to add play schedule to message.
32 Ability to Activate Amber Alerts and (Integrated Public Alert & Warning System)
33 IPAWS alerts to sign.
34 Functionality to utilize images if allowed in the future.
35
36 Staff is recommending authorizing staff to contract with Rose City for replacement of dynamic
37 display sign at City Hall. Ms. Miller asked if Council wishes to have the Code Review
38 Committee take a look at our dynamic display sign ordinance and review for modifications to
39 current policies and comparisons to surrounding cities?
40
41 Councilmember Jenson asked if the current sign is no longer repairable and Ms. Miller stated
42 that is correct. Councilmember Jenson asked about what the Code Review Committee would
43 review and Ms. Miller stated they would review color of the signage and whether images should
44 be included.

2 Councilmember Webster noted she has heard from residents they rely on the sign for updates and
3 announcements.
4
5 Mayor Stille stated he hasn’t received any feedback from residents. The sign needs to be
6 replaced with something.
7
8 Councilmember Jenson stated it is a mainstay and should be replaced.
9
10 Motion by Councilmember Webster, seconded by Councilmember Walker, to approve
11 Resolution 23-044 – Authorizing Staff to Contract with Rose City to Replace Dynamic Display

13
14 Motion carried 4-0.
15
D.16 Ordinance 2023-04 – Granting CenterPoint Energy Resources Corp. D/B/A CenterPoint
17 Energy Minnesota Gas (“CenterPoint Energy”), Its Successors and Assigns, a
18 Nonexclusive Franchise (“Franchise”) to Construct, Operate, Repair and Maintain
19 Facilities and Equipment for the Transportation, Distribution, Manufacture and Sale of
20 Gas Energy for the Public and Private Use and to Use the Public Ways and Grounds of
21 the City of St. Anthony, Minnesota, for Such Purpose; and Prescribing Certain Terms and
22 Conditions Thereof.
23
24 City Manager Yunker reviewed The City currently has a franchise ordinance allowing
25 CenterPoint Energy a nonexclusive right to use public grounds and rights of way to distribute
26 natural gas to customers within the City. The current ordinance expires soon and requires
27 consideration of a new ordinance for a 20 year period.
28
29 A copy of the proposed franchise ordinance was included and is similar to the current ordinance
30 in that it requires (1) agreement with the City about location of gas utilities, (2) allows the City to
31 charge a franchise fee to be established as part of your annual fee schedule (as long as consistent
32 with Minnesota Public Utilities Commission), (3) allows the City to charge permit fees
33 consistent with an annual schedule, and (4) allows the City to require escrow deposits, prior to
34 disturbing any public ground. Mr. Yunker stated based on this, there should be no substantial
35 changes to the way the franchise operates over the next 20 years.
36
37 Motion by Councilmember Webster, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve Second
38 Reading of Ordinance 2023-04 – Granting CenterPoint Energy Resources Corp. D/B/A
39 CenterPoint Energy Minnesota Gas (“CenterPoint Energy”), Its Successors and Assigns, a
40 Nonexclusive Franchise (“Franchise”) to Construct, Operate, Repair and Maintain Facilities and
41 Equipment for the Transportation, Distribution, Manufacture and Sale of Gas Energy for the
42 Public and Private Use and to Use the Public Ways and Grounds of the City of St. Anthony,
43 Minnesota, for Such Purpose; and Prescribing Certain Terms and Conditions Thereof.

9
10 Councilmember Walker stated he attended the Sister City Picnic also. He attended the
11 VillageFest parade and VillageFest activities.
12
13 Councilmember Jenson stated he attended National Night Out on July 22. He attended on July 19
14 an Open House for Northeast Youth and Family Services. He participated in the VillageFest
15 parade and also attended the Sister City Picnic. On July 24 he attended the budget and capital
16 meeting for Northeast Youth and Family Services. On July 25 he attended the Ramsey County

21 Unite. On August 2, he attended the Sister City Picnic. On August 3, he attended the Salo Park
22 Concert as well as VillageFest activities.
23
24 VIII.COMMUNITY FORUM.
25
26 Ms. Leah Kluz, 2516 37th Avenue, shared her comments about the I9 implementation program.
27 She has contacted the Council regarding this. It was implemented in many cities for wastewater
28 control and was primarily a point of sale requirement. St. Anthony took it one step further which
29 presents a burden for rental property owners but notification to rental property owners was never
30 provided. She reached out to Met Council and spoke with engineers and some were unaware it
31 was attached to the rental properties in St. Anthony. Her sewer line failed and she could not get
32 answers as to the pass/fail criteria. She stated it is unfair for them to carry the burden for the
33 entire City and requested the ordinance be amended.
34
35 Mr. Tom Gritz, 3302 Roosevelt Court, stated he echoes what Ms. Kluse said. He owns a rental
36 property and wants the rationale as to why it is only affecting rental property owners.
37
38 Mr. Bill Clemens, 3412 Edwards Street, stated the percentage of rental single family houses in
39 St. Anthony is 3%. The 97% should be considered. He does not understand the plan. His sewer
40 was scoped and it failed. He does not know what the criteria is. He asked what the passing rate
41 was for rental properties.
42
43 Mr. Elliot Ikeler, 3533 Roosevelt, stated he owns rental property. He bought his house right
44 before the ordinance was passed. His rental property passed but the house he lives in has sewer
45 problems. He asked Council to reconsider this to affect the entire City.
46

Page 7
1 Mr. Jan Shee, 3200 39th Avenue NE, received a notice to inspect the sewer system. Their
2 inspection was done but this issue needs to look at the City as a whole. He asked the City to
3 install a tracking system to determine how many have passed inspection.
4
5 Mr. Tracy Woullet, 3519 Edwards Street, stated his property was inspected by drain solutions
6 and was told it looked very good with only one thin root coming in. He received from the City
7 that they failed so it seems like an arbitrary process. He noted the criteria needs to be explained.
8
9 Mr. Alan Kluz, 2600 37th Avenue, stated he knows what is going on in surrounding cities. He
10 went to City’s website for licensure. He referred to the purpose statement on the City’s website
11 and stated the requirements for pass/fail need to be communicated. He felt the Ordinance was
12 unfair to rental property owners.
13
14 Mayor Stille stated this is a regional issue and a memorandum of understanding was issued
15 between the City and the Met Council. This is what they are adhering to at this time but policies
16 can be reviewed and modified if necessary. The Council will consider and take it under
17 advisement.

ITEM: 2024 Preliminary Levy / General Fund Budget
At the May 23 rd City Council work session, the City Council and staff reviewed the updated
Street Improvement schedule and its impact on the 2024 Debt Levy. On June 13th a revised Street
Improvement schedule was presented for the City Council’s consideration which included two
different approaches, one being 2024/2025 improvements that included street reconstruction and
limited mill and overlay improvements and the other was an extensive mill and overlay
improvements over 2024/2025. City Staff favored the later approach. Per the Council’s direction
the staff presented the future Street improvement plan that reflected extensive mill and overlay
project for 2024 and 2025 and the resulting impact on the 2024 debt service levy at the June 27th
Council meeting. The Debt Levy provides funding for 2024 debt service payments for the Road
Improvement debt, Lease Revenue debt (city buildings) and the Tax Abatement debt (parks and
sidewalks). The proposed 2024 Debt Levy was approved at the June 27th City Council Meeting.
At the July 11th work session, Staff provided the City Council with an early projection regarding
the overall levy and General Fund Budget. Staff presented an updated overall levy scenario and a
detailed 2022 General Fund budget at the August 7th Council work session. The overall levy
presented included the Housing Redevelopment Authority (HRA), Capital Equipment, Building,
Parks and Infrastructure Improvement Funds levies. The Levy proposed below reflects these
work session discussions. Council directed the staff to incorporate the items discussed into the
2024 Budget and Levy. Council affirmed the adjustments to the various capital levies that are
consistent with the long-term capital plans. No increase in the Housing Redevelopment
Authority (HRA) levy was proposed for 2024. The Levy proposed below reflects the culmination
of Council meetings/works sessions discussions to date.
The proposed 2024 overall levy is $9,191,133, which represents an increase of $503,708 or a
5.80% increase compared to the 2023 overall levy.
2023 $ Change 2024 % Change
General Fund 5,479,630$ 458,708$ 5,938,338$ 8.37%
HRA Fund 209,414 - 209,414 0.00%
CIP Fund 338,200 30,000 368,200 8.87%
Debt Service Funds 2,487,181 (350,447) 2,136,734 -14.09%
Infrastructure Fund 70,000 355,447 425,447 507.78%
Building Improvement Fund 93,000 5,000 98,000 5.38%
Park Improvement Fund 10,000 5,000 15,000 50.00%
Total 8,687,425$ 503,708$ 9,191,133$ 5.80%
The standard parameters used for preparing the General Fund Budget and Levy include:
• City revenues budgeted at current run rates for sources that are subject to trends and
conservative baseline estimates for re-occurring aids and charges for services.
• Expenses budgeted at amounts that will maintain present level of City services.
• Liquor transfers to the General Fund based on liquor operating results.
The General Fund Budget and Levy details:
Each year the General Fund revenue and expenditure budget line items are examined for
changes in expected collections/charges, labor adjustments, changes in contract rates,
insurance rates, utility costs, usage of various materials or needs, etc. The findings of this
examination produce the drivers associated with the proposed 5.80% increase in the Overall
Levy - see below:
General Fund Expenditures:
• Personnel costs – 70.0% of expenditures, overall budgeted costs increased by $353,945
or 5.71%
• The 2024 base wage increase is based on the city’s Unions accepting a 3.5%
COLA. Also, staff retirements, pending retirements and resignations has mitigated
the impact of COLA and other wage or step adjustments. The net cost impact on
reoccurring wage base is $64,170. Other factors creating the additional $289,219
of costs are as follows:
o Wages and benefits of $249,845 were budgeted in 2023 as placeholders for
two fulltime fire fighters, in anticipation of a SAFER grant. The SAFER grant
was not awarded and these positions were not filled. The two firefighter
positions were being phased into the levy beginning in 2022. The plan at the
time was if the SAFER grant was not awarded there would be the levy
capacity available to mitigate the levy impact of adding a day time
firefighter/Assistant Fire Chief (AFC) position. The levy capacity available to
support the AFC position in 2024 is $117,194 and the budgeted cost of the
AFC position is $132,651, assuming a 1/1/2024 start date. This results in a net
impact of $15,194 in 2024.
o The Police department budget includes restoring the Lieutenant position and
adding a VCET officer. These additions are scheduled to occur at mid-year.
The budget impact is $154,680.
o The Police introduced a Cadet program in 2023. The budget impact of the
Cadet program is projected to be $33,581 in 2024.
o The Police department is anticipated to have two police officers retire in 2024.
The department will also need to fill two patrol positions to replace the
existing officers filling the new VCET and Lieutenant positions. Therefore,
there will be four new officers to be trained in 2024. The training costs have
been budgeted separately from regular wages as year to year changes will vary
based on need. The cost of training four new officers in 2024 is expected to be
$101,149. This is a $56,900 increase over the 2023 training amount budgeted.
o The part-time communications position is currently vacant. The 2024 budget
assume this position will be filled by 1/1/2024 at the position current
compensation level plus the 3.5 COLA.
o Health Insurance premium increase of 4.2 % is shared 50/50 by the City and
the employees. The 2024 impact of the shared increase is $9,546 (includes
elected coverage changes from 2022 to 2023). The cost of adding two police
positions and the Assistant Fire Chief is budgeted at $19,363. This yields a
total increase in health insurance cost of $28,909.
• Contracted services – 10.4% of expenditures, overall increase of $66,615.
• Construction permits inspections budgeted at an increasing baseline activity has
results in greater expense of $5,211. This increase has no impact on the levy as the
inspection fee is a percentage of permit revenue received.
• Assessor, Attorney, Auditor, Engineer and Planner services reflect rate and activity
increases. The net result of these factors is cost impact of $16,500
• Contracted Information Technology costs up $18,905.
• Miscellaneous service contracts are estimated to increase by $25,999. This is
driven by police and fire increases in contracted costs, election contract increase
due to the work load associated with 2024 Presidential election, and remaining
costs impacted by inflation.
• Other Insurance costs – 5.3% of expenditures, overall costs up by $114,862.
• The workman's compensation insurance experience rating declined by 24% in the
2023-2024 renewal period. This was substantially due to a police officer PTSD
claim. The cost impact of the rating decline is approximately $77,940.
• The coverage rates improved slightly in the 23/24 policy renewal. However, the
increase in covered wages produced an additional coverage cost of $44,068.
• These factors equate to a 17.2% increase cost for 2024 which was comparable to the
prior renewal increase of 17.4%.
• The PTSD claim will continue to keep our insurance costs at a higher level for the
next two renewal cycles.
• Liability, Property and Casualty premiums are projected decline by $7,145 in 2024.
• Pass through costs – 2.3% of expenditures, costs up $10,250.
• The substantial portion of the increase represents an $15,000 increase in the rent
transfer to the City Hall/Community Center Fund offset by various reductions in
other pass through items.
• Remaining budget line items – 12.1% of overall expenditures or $1,134,142, costs are up
$67,030.
• Energy costs make up $17,979 of this increase.
• Then anticipated inflationary factors have been applied to many of the supplies,
printing, and repair and maintenance services pushing these costs up by $26,742.
• Budgeted costs for communications, community inclusion and sustainability
initiatives and other miscellaneous items are up $22,309 compared to 2023.
General Fund Revenues:
• Liquor transfer to the General Fund will be $275,000 same as 2023.
• 2024 State funded Local Government Aid reflects an increase of $64,472.
• Police contracted services has increased by $123,455, a 14.35% increase.
• Excess Tax Increment collections are projected to increase by $77,000 in 2024.
.
The 2024 HRA Budget and Levy is proposed at the same amount as 2023, 0% Levy increase.
The 2024 Debt Related Levies and Street improvement Levies are proposed to increase by
$0 over the 2023 combined debt levies. The 2024 Street project includes the extensive mill and
overlay plan for streets and alleys. The transitioning of the debt levy to infrastructure levy begins
with 2024 Levy. The 2024 debt levy certified will be $2,136,734. This is a decrease of $350,447
compared to the 2023 debt levy. This decrease in levy will allow the City to increase its
Infrastructure Levy by the same sum. The results in a combined flat levy impact for the street
improvement program for a fifth consecutive year.
The 2024 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) levy is proposed to increase by $30,000. The
2024 Building Improvement, Infrastructure and Park Improvement lives are each proposed at a
$5,000 increase. These levy increases are consistent with the city’s long-term capital
improvement plans.
Upcoming Budget meetings
At the September 12, 2023 City Council meeting, Staff will present the preliminary 2024
Budget and Property Tax Levy to the City Council for approval. At this meeting a resolution will
need to be passed certifying the preliminary levy to Hennepin and Ramsey Counties.
At the October 10, 2023 Council work session, Staff will present the proposed 2024 updates to
the long-term capital budget plans.
At the October 24, 2023 Council work session, Staff will present the proposed 2024 utility rate
adjustments and budgets
At the October 24, 2023 City Council meeting, Staff will present the 2024 long term capital
budgets as revised. Requested City Council action will be the approval of 2024 capital levies and
long-term plans.
The final presentation of the 2024 Budget and Property Tax Levy (Truth in Taxation) hearing is
scheduled for the December 12, 2023 Council Meeting. At the meeting, Staff will present a
recap of the final 2024 Budget and the 2024 Property Tax Levy’s impact on property tax bills.

fighter) in 2024. This levy capacity is the result of 2021/2022 budget plans to hire two
full-time fighters in 2023 by securing a SAFER grant to fund the positions.
The 2022 and 2023 budgets had phased in proportion of these position costs in order to
avoid a future spike to the Levy.
The Levy capacity available is $117,194 and the cost of the AFC position is $132,651.
Therefore, a net impact of $15,194 to the 2024 budget

•Contracted services: 10.4% of expenditures, overall costs up $66,615
Construction inspections costs mirror the increasing permit activity producing a increase in expense of $5,211. This increase has no impact on the levy as the inspection fee is a percentage of permit revenue received

Other Insurance costs – 5.3% of expenditures, overall costs up by $114,862
The City’s workman’s compensation experience rating declined by 24% in the recent renewal
period. This decline was substantially due to a police officer’s PTSD claim. The cost impact of the
rating decline is approximately $77,940.
The PTSD claim will continue to keep our insurance costs at a higher level for the next two renewal
cycles.
While coverage rates improved slightly in the 23/24 policy renewal the amount of covered wages
increased causing insurance costs to increase by $44,068.
Theses factors equates to a 17.2% increase cost for 2024.
Liability, Property and Casualty premiums are projected decline by $7,145 in 2024

MEMORANDUM
TO:Mayor and City Council
Charlie Yunker, City Manager
FROM:Jay R. Lindgren, City Attorney
DATE:17 July 2023
RE:CenterPoint Energy Renewal Ordinance
The City currently has a franchise ordinance allowing CenterPoint Energy a nonexclusive right
to use public grounds and rights of way to distribute natural gas to customers within the City.
The current ordinance expires soon and requires consideration of a new ordinance for a
20 year period.
The attached proposed franchise ordinance is similar to the current ordinance in that it requires
(1)agreement with the City about location of gas utilities,(2)allows the City to charge a
franchise fee to be established as part of your annual fee schedule (as long as consistent with
Minnesota Public Utilities Commission),(3)allows the City to charge permit fees consistent
with an annual schedule,and (4)allows the City to require escrow deposits,prior to disturbing
any public ground.
Based on this,there should be no substantial changes to way the franchise operates over the

8.1. Form. During the term of the franchise hereby granted, the City may charge the
Company a franchise fee. The Company will administer the collection and payment of franchise fees
to City in lieu of permit fees or other fees that may otherwise be imposed on the Company in relation
to its operations as a public utility in the City. The franchise fee will be collected on a flat fee basis,
or by some other method that is mutually acceptable to both City and Company for each retail
customer account within the corporate limits of the City. The amount of the fee collected may differ
for each customer class. The City will use a formula that provides a stable and predictable amount of
fees, without placing the Company at a competitive disadvantage. Such fee shall not exceed any
amount that the Company may legally charge to its customers prior to payment to the City and be
consistent with the Minnesota Public Utility Commission’s March 23, 2011, Order establishing
franchise fee filing requirements in Docket No. E,G999/CI-09-970. If the Company claims that the
City required fee formula is discriminatory or otherwise places the Company at a competitive
disadvantage, the Company will provide a formula that will produce a substantially similar fee amount
to the City. If the City and Company are unable to agree, the disagreement shall be subject to the
Dispute Resolution provisions of this Ordinance. For clarity, the City and Company agree that the
Model Franchise Ordinance – CenterPoint Energy – Updated 06.01.2022
| Page 6 of 7 |
I:\Legal\Franchise\Franchise Training Binder\Tab 1 - Model Franchise\2 of 3 -
City may charge all required permit fees and deposits imposed under City Code, Chapter 96, and the
City’s corresponding annual fee schedule, until such time as the City chooses to impose the franchise
fee authorized under this Section 8.1.
8.2. Separate Ordinance. The franchise fee shall be imposed by separate ordinance duly
adopted by the City Council. The effective date of the franchise fee ordinance shall be no less than
ninety (90) days after written Notice enclosing a copy of the duly adopted and approved ordinance
has been served upon the Company by Certified mail. The Company is not required to collect a
franchise fee if the terms of the fee agreement are inconsistent with this franchise or state law,
provided the Company notifies the City Council of the same within the ninety (90) day period.
8.3. Condition of Fee. The separate ordinance imposing the fee shall not be effective
against the Company unless it lawfully imposes a fee of the same or substantially similar amount on
the sale of energy within the City by any other energy supplier, provided that, as to such supplier, the
City has the authority or contractual right to require a franchise fee or similar fee through an agreed-
upon franchise.
8.4. Collection of Fee. The franchise fee shall be payable not less than quarterly during
complete billing months of the period for which payment is to be made. The franchise fee formula
may be changed from time to time, however, the change shall meet the same Notice and acceptance
requirements and the fee may not be changed more often than annually. Such fee shall not exceed
any amount that the Company may legally charge to its customers prior to payment to the City and
be consistent with Minnesota Public Utility Commission’s March 23, 2011, Order establishing
franchise fee filing requirements in Docket No. E,G999/CI-09-970. Such fee is subject to
subsequent reductions to account for uncollectibles and customer refunds incurred by the Company.
The Company shall not be responsible to pay City fees that Company is unable to collect under
Commission rules or order. Company agrees to make available for inspection by City at reasonable
times all records necessary to audit Company’s determination of the franchise fee payments.
8.5. Continuation of Franchise Fee. If this franchise expires and the City and the
Company are unable to agree upon terms of a new franchise, the franchise fee, if any being imposed
by the City at the time this franchise expires, will remain in effect until a new franchise is agreed
upon. However, the franchise fee will not remain in effect for more than one (1) year after the
franchise expires as stated in Section 2.6 of this Franchise. If for any reason the franchise terminates,
the franchise fee will terminate at the same time.
SECTION 9. ABANDONED FACILITIES
The Company shall comply with Minnesota Rules, Part 7819.3300, as it may be amended
from time to time with respect to abandoned facilities in Public Ways. The Company shall
maintain records describing the exact location of all abandoned and retired Gas Facilities within
the Public Ways and Public Grounds, produce such records at the City’s request and comply with
the location requirements of Minnesota Statutes § 216D.04 with respect to all Gas Facilities located
in Public Ways and Public Grounds.

ordinance is inconsistent with the provisions of this Ordinance, the provisions of this Ordinance

to its operations as a public utility in the City. The franchise fee will be collected on a flat fee basis,
or by some other method that is mutually acceptable to both City and Company for each retail
customer account within the corporate limits of the City. The amount of the fee collected may differ
for each customer class. The City will use a formula that provides a stable and predictable amount of
fees, without placing the Company at a competitive disadvantage. Such fee shall not exceed any
amount that the Company may legally charge to its customers prior to payment to the City and be
consistent with the Minnesota Public Utility Commission’s March 23, 2011, Order establishing
franchise fee filing requirements in Docket No. E,G999/CI-09-970. If the Company claims that the
City required fee formula is discriminatory or otherwise places the Company at a competitive
disadvantage, the Company will provide a formula that will produce a substantially similar fee amount
to the City. If the City and Company are unable to agree, the disagreement shall be subject to the
Dispute Resolution provisions of this Ordinance. For clarity, the City and Company agree that the
City may charge all required permit fees and deposits imposed under City Code, Chapter 96, and the
City’s corresponding annual fee schedule, until such time as the City chooses to impose the franchise
fee authorized under this Section 8.1.
8.2.Separate Ordinance. The franchise fee shall be imposed by separate ordinance duly
adopted by the City Council. The effective date of the franchise fee ordinance shall be no less than
| P a g e 6 o f 7 |
ninety (90) days after written Notice enclosing a copy of the duly adopted and approved ordinance
has been served upon the Company by Certified mail. The Company is not required to collect a
franchise fee if the terms of the fee agreement are inconsistent with this franchise or state law,
provided the Company notifies the City Council of the same within the ninety (90) day period.
8.3.Condition of Fee. The separate ordinance imposing the fee shall not be effective
against the Company unless it lawfully imposes a fee of the same or substantially similar amount on
the sale of energy within the City by any other energy supplier, provided that, as to such supplier, the
City has the authority or contractual right to require a franchise fee or similar fee through an agreed-
upon franchise.
8.4.Collection of Fee. The franchise fee shall be payable not less than quarterly during
complete billing months of the period for which payment is to be made. The franchise fee formula
may be changed from time to time, however, the change shall meet the same Notice and acceptance
requirements and the fee may not be changed more often than annually. Such fee shall not exceed
any amount that the Company may legally charge to its customers prior to payment to the City and
be consistent with Minnesota Public Utility Commission’s March 23, 2011, Order establishing
franchise fee filing requirements in Docket No. E,G999/CI-09-970. Such fee is subject to
subsequent reductions to account for uncollectibles and customer refunds incurred by the Company.
The Company shall not be responsible to pay City fees that Company is unable to collect under
Commission rules or order. Company agrees to make available for inspection by City at reasonable
times all records necessary to audit Company’s determination of the franchise fee payments.
8.5.Continuation of Franchise Fee. If this franchise expires and the City and the
Company are unable to agree upon terms of a new franchise, the franchise fee, if any being imposed
by the City at the time this franchise expires, will remain in effect until a new franchise is agreed
upon. However, the franchise fee will not remain in effect for more than one (1) year after the
franchise expires as stated in Section 2.6 of this Franchise. If for any reason the franchise terminates,
the franchise fee will terminate at the same time.
SECTION 9.ABANDONED FACILITIES
The Company shall comply with Minnesota Rules, Part 7819.3300, as it may be amended
from time to time with respect to abandoned facilities in Public Ways. The Company shall
maintain records describing the exact location of all abandoned and retired Gas Facilities within
the Public Ways and Public Grounds, produce such records at the City’s request and comply with
the location requirements of Minnesota Statutes § 216D.04 with respect to all Gas Facilities located
in Public Ways and Public Grounds.
SECTION 10.PROVISIONS OF ORDINANCE
10.1.Severability. Every section, provision or part of this Ordinance is declared separate
from every other section, provision or part; and if any section, provision or part shall be held
invalid, it shall not affect any other section, provision or part. Where a provision of any other City
ordinance is inconsistent with the provisions of this Ordinance, the provisions of this Ordinance
shall prevail.
| P a g e 7 o f 7 |
10.2.Limitation on Applicability. This Ordinance constitutes a franchise agreement
between City and Company as the only parties. No provisions herein shall in any way inure to the
benefit of any third person (including the public at large) so as to constitute any such person as a
third-party beneficiary of this Ordinance or of any one or more of the terms hereof, or otherwise
give rise to any cause of action in any person not a party hereto.
SECTION 11.AMENDMENT PROCEDURE
Either party may propose at any time that this Franchise Ordinance be amended. Franchise
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
Company’s written consent thereto with the City Clerk within ninety (90) days after the effective date
of the amendatory ordinance.
