Individuals must limit their testimony to three minutes. The Mayor
may modify times, as deemed necessary. Try not to repeat remarks

ACTION REQUESTED:
This is a request to approve the quoted cost to supply and install equipment to make the City's diesel engine
generator NESHAP (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants) compliant.
INTRODUCTION:
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion
Engines (“RICE NESHAP”) limits emissions of toxic air pollutants from stationary reciprocating internal
combustion engines.
RICE compliance is required by the EPA and is required for the city to continue participating in Xcel Energy's
Electric Rate Savings Peak Control program. Over $60,000.00 a year is saved by participating in Xcel's program.
The quotes are as follows:
Ziegler Power Systems $43,960.00
Cummins NPowerLLC $42,197.00
Interstate Power Systems $53,395.00
This amount along with the cost to retro-fit the other five generators is within the approved CIP #15-093 budget.
City Staff recommends Ziegler Power Systems on this project. Even though there are the second lowest quote,
they are the lowest aggregate for the 6 generators combined and the coordination effort between multiple
departments would be minimized with a single Contractor.

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion
Engines (“RICE NESHAP”) limits emissions of toxic air pollutants from stationary reciprocating internal
combustion engines.
RICE compliance is required by the EPA and is required for the city to continue participating in Xcel Energy's
Electric Rate Savings Peak Control program. Over $60,000.00 a year is saved by participating in Xcel's program.
$35,400.00 is the cost to retro-fit the 2nd Street generator. Ziegler Power Systems provided the lowest aggregate
quote for all six generators. The additional quotes are as follows: Interstate Power Systems at $47,675.00;
Cummins NPower LLC at $36,065.00
This amount along with the cost to retro-fit the other five generators is within the approved CIP #15-093 budget.
City Staff recommends going with Ziegler Power Systems on this project.

Capital City Glass, Inc.
Information/Background:
The entire roof at Edinborough Park is made of glass and was originally installed in 1987. There are
four broken windows that need to be replaced. Three of the windows are over the park and one is
near the hotel entrance. Two of the broken windows negatively impact the view of residents in the
Brookdale Edina property. All of the windows will be replaced with the exact same glass so they will
match the existing windows. Although the glass is insulated and tempered, the cracked windows
are unsightly and cause concern among our guests regarding the integrity of the roof.
This is an approved 2015 CIP and will be paid for by the Construction Fund. The CIP budget amount
is $190,500. The roof repairs originally consisted of three separate parts: 1) Repair the broken
windows 2) Repair the sloped metal roofs 3) Eliminate water leaks throughout the park, especially in
the primary customer areas of the Great Hall and Adventure Peak. At this time we have secured bids
to replace the broken windows ($25,200) and repair the sloped metal roofs ($4,250).
Eliminating the water leaks from the windows requires deconstructing the window frames, replacing
gaskets and window glazing replacement. Due to the highly specialized nature of this work and the
safety concerns related to reaching these areas, we have not been able to secure a qualified
contractor. This is a time intensive process and accounted for a majority of the overall CIP budget.

We will continue to search out a contractor to do this work, as the leaking is increasing throughout
the park presenting a potential hazard to our guests. This project will need to be completed at some
point in the near future.

Information/Background:
A surveillance system is needed to protect the City of Edina's assets from theft and vandalism as well
as safeguarding its employees and patrons. This project includes the purchase and installation of a
surveillance system at the Braemar main clubhouse, maintenance facility and the Driving Range
Clubhouse. It will also provide operational efficiencies by monitoring customers and facility
utilization. This project would include five cameras in the Driving Range Clubhouse, 18 cameras
throughout the interior and exterior of the main clubhouse and three cameras in the maintenance
facility. This would extend the city's existing Milestone network video surveillance system. There is no
video camera system currently at Braemar Golf Course. This system would provide increased safety
for our customers and staff, deter vandalism and theft and improve customer service and operational
efficiency to assist with staffing in high traffic service areas. Braemar would utilize Pro-Tec Design,
the same provider of the city's network video surveillance system.
A surveillance system would allow us remote access to view key locations within the facility and assist
staff in maintaining a safe environment for the public. This project is an approved CIP project for
2015.

Re: Aquajets Swim Team Donation
The Aquajets Swim Team is pleased to offer a donation of $30,000 to the City of
Edina. It is our intention that this money be used toward the purchase of a
replacement filter for the 50-meter pool at the Edina Aquatic Center.
This new filter will benefit everyone using the pool with cleaner water and will
especially benefit our community through significant operating cost savings by
reducing the amount of water and chemicals used.
The Aquajets has enjoyed many years of use of the pool. We recognize this donation
does not provide our club any special privileges related to pool use or rental rates.
This is our way of giving back to the Edina Aquatic Center and saying thank you.
Regards,
JTW

Recommended Quote or Bid:

Information/Background:
Proper pool filtration is essential to the operation and to keep the pool water safe and sanitized. The
filter not only impacts water clarity but the overall experience including the smell and feel of the
water. Annual attendance at the Aquatic Center typically exceeds 125,000 visits in three months,
including season pass holders, paid daily admissions, and group visits. The water quality is also a key
factor for revenue generated from Swim Club rentals and the swim lesson contractor. Due to the
high volume of visitors, the filtration system is critical for keeping the pool operating at capacity.
The approximate useful life of a filter is 12-15 years. The current filters were installed in 1997 and
have exceeded their approximate useful life. Over the last several years, there have been many
improvements in the filtration industry. The Defender filter, manufactured by Neptune-Benson, is a
“green” product and known for providing excellent water quality as well as cost savings. The
installation and operation of the new filter will generate cost savings by reducing water waste
through backwashing, which in turn saves chemicals and energy.
This is an approved 2015 CIP and will be paid for out of the Aquatic Center Fund. The CIP budget
amount was $189,000. In addition, the Aquajets Swim Team has made a restricted donation in the
amount of $30,000 to help offset the cost of the new filter. Aquatic Design Solutions, LLC was hired

construction.
As-built drawing requirements concerning labeling, required data, and submittal
materials will follow the City of Edina record drawing procedure.
Based on input from Hennepin County and the City of Minneapolis during the
Engineering Study phase, we assume no changes to the existing signal system will
be necessary at the intersection of France Avenue and Sunnyside Road. In addition,
we assume no audible push button systems will be required due to existing
geometric constraints.

Another dispatch furniture vendor was consulted for this project however due to the repurposing of
the existing workstation furniture it was most cost effective to work with the original supplier,
Watson Dispatch.
Information/Background:
The City of Edina’s 911 Communications Center answers emergency and non-emergency phone calls
and provides dispatch services to the Edina Police and Fire Departments and the Richfield Police and
Fire Departments 24 hours a day. This is currently done from three dispatch workstations. At
regularly scheduled staffing levels we utilize all three of these workstations. During special events,
critical incidents, and the training of new dispatch staff we require a fourth workstation to
accommodate our staff. In addition our dispatch operations have become very technologically
complex depending on several computers and other specialized electronics at each workstation. A
fourth position is required in order to continue to assure 100% uptime at our full staffing level in the
event of equipment failure.
This project will add a fourth workstation to the dispatch center. The current dispatch center was
built in 2004 during construction of City Hall. Specialized furniture is utilized for public safety
dispatch workstations in order to properly integrate the required technology and provide proper
ergonomics for staff. In order to control project costs we will reuse our existing furniture in the new

Traffic Safety Report
November 4, 2015
The Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) review of traffic safety matters occurred on November 04, 2015.
The Transportation Planner, Traffic Safety Coordinator, Sign Coordinator, Assistant City Planner, City
Engineer, the Police Department Lieutenant, and Public Works Director were in attendance at this
meeting.
From these reviews, the recommendations below are provided. On each of the items, persons involved
have been contacted and staff recommendation has been discussed with them. They were informed that
if they disagree with the recommendation or have additional facts to present, these can be included on
the November 19 Edina Transportation Commission (ETC) and the December 15 City Council agenda.
Section A : Items on which staff recommends action.
A1. Request for change in speed limit signage at 70th Street, east of Highway 100
This request regards the signage on 70th Street
east of Trunk Highway 100. This requestor
references city maps, which show that the speed
limit of 25 mph starts before the signage which
informs drivers of this speed limit, and that this
signage is obscured and drowned out by the
amount of signage in the area as well as the
geometry of the street. The speed limit sign for
eastbound traffic is 184 feet from the start of
the eastbound bike lane, 155 feet from the two-
way left turn only lane signage, and 100 feet to
the end of the westbound bike lane. Speeds on
this road are seen as an issue, with an 85th-
percentile speed of 33.2 mph, even after the
sign, and a volume of 11,530 vehicles per day.
After review, staff found that the bike lane
marks the start of the lowered speed limit
by City Council resolution and state law.
Therefore the signage informing drivers of
this speed limit should be further west so
drivers are aware of this speed limit. Staff recommends adding the speed limit signage to
the post which currently has the Two-Way Left Turn Lane signage, and moving the center
turn lane signage down on the post, such that the speed limit signage is in the current
location of the center turn lane signage.
Photo : Center turn lane signage eastbound on 70th Street,
the speed limit sign is circled in the back
Traffic Safety Committee Report of November 4, 2015
Page 2 of 11
A2. Request for moving, alteration, or
removal of the 30 mph speed limit sign
from Valley View Road, east of Antrim
Road
This request comes from a resident who lives
within the area designated for a school speed
zone, where Valley View Road’s speed limit is
reduced to 20 mph when children are present.
However, two blocks (nearly 650 feet) before
the school speed limit zone ends, there is a sign
stating that the speed limit is 30 mph. The
requestor believes that this makes for a
confusing situation, especially for emerging skill
drivers, who may not be aware that they are still
in the school speed zone. The requestor believes that this will also assist the movement of vehicles into
and out of the driveway of the requestor’s residence on Valley View Road. A similar situation can be
seen on Normandale Road, in front of Our Lady of Grace church and school. No crashes have been
reported during school release or start times in the last ten years along this stretch of roadway. The
85th-percentile speed of this section of Valley View Road is 38.1 mph and Valley View Road has an ADT
of 7543 in this segment. This item was previously recommended for further study, for investigation for
on the lawfulness of the signage as placed, as well as the school speed zone plan from 2009, which
identified crashes in the school zone east of the school itself. The law for the school zone speed
reduction states as follows : The school zone is legally defined as that section of road which abuts the school
grounds where children have access to the street or highway from school property, or where there is an
established school zrossing with advance school signs that define the area. Further guidance on the issue
includes the item 6) Sidewalks – children walking in the street is dangerous. Continuous sidewalks that do not
intermittently disappear and force children into the road are the best. The sidewalk in this area is continuous,
but is only on one side of the road and is on the opposite side of the street of the school. According to
the MNMUTCD, the use of a normal speed limit sign may be used alone to signify the end of a school
speed zone, and when placed, does indicate that the school speed zone has ended (Figure 7B-3). Copies
of the school speed zone study’s site enhancement maps for this area, as well as Our Lady of Grace and
Normandale Road, are available in appendix C.
After review, staff recommends maintaining the current School Speed Zone, but changing
the signage by removing the End School Speed Zone signage and moving the current
Speed Limit 30 signage to the End School Speed Zone sign’s vacated position. This is being
done to be consistent with the MNMUTCD as shown in Appendix C.
Map : Valley View Road and Antrim Road, red is the school
speed limit area, the 30 mph speed limit sign is marked
with a star.
Photos : These photos illustrate the order of the signage along Valley View Road, the requestor would like to move the
Speed Limit 30 sign such that it is not within the school speed zone.
Traffic Safety Committee Report of November 4, 2015
Page 3 of 11
Map : Indian Hills Pass and Gleason Road
A3. Request to maximize safety for school crossing at Gleason Road and Indian Hills Pass
North of Creek Valley Elementary School, the
school requested that the City of Edina look at
the intersections of Gleason Road and Indian
Hills Pass, and to a lesser extent, Creek Valley
Road. A video study of Gleason Road and Indian
Hills Pass was conducted. This study found that
because school release is also during the evening
rush hour, the traffic loads at this intersection
had enough traffic on all streets to force traffic
to come to a full and complete stop before
entering the intersection. Several school
children cross Gleason Road at this crosswalk.
Awkward situations were observed, including
several vehicles not yielding to pedestrians in
the hours after school release, or other times
when there is not enough traffic on the cross
streets to “force” traffic to stop on Gleason. Another common awkward occurrence was with bicyclists
crossing from the school grounds to the Indian Hills neighborhood. Because there is a sidewalk on one
side of the intersection, and the crosswalk across Gleason Road connects only to a curb, and not to a
sidewalk or pedestrian ramp, bicyclists cross the intersection diagonally so that they are biking on the
correct side of Indian Hills Pass when they leave the school grounds. This is seen most with child
bicyclists who are sidewalk-riding as they leave the school grounds. This diagonal biking has been seen as
causing some confusion for drivers who appear to assume that they would be able to complete a
movement at this intersection concurrent with the bicycles, as the driver’s desired movement would not
conflict with a crossing in the crosswalk. There are no school patrols at this time, but a teacher is
stationed at Gleason Road and Indian Hills Pass and conducts children across the street, but wears no
reflective clothing nor has a sign for flagging operations.
After review, staff recommends that the school reinstate the school patrol, to bring
attention to crossings related to the school day. Further, staff recommends adding a
pedestrian landing pad at the south corner of the intersection, and upgrading two
pedestrian ramps at the school entrance to be ADA compliant. Staff also recommends
that the existing marked crosswalk be replaced with the standard school zone “ladder”
crosswalk, and it be realigned slightly to match the new landing pad.
Section B : Items on which staff recommends no action
B1. Request for crosswalks at Arbor Lane and
Arbor Avenue
This request comes from a resident who would
like a crosswalk south from Countryside School’s
schoolyard, to highlight the pedestrian
movements in this area. This summer, a sidewalk
was added on the east side of Arbor Avenue,
along school grounds. Examination of the city’s
proposed sidewalks indicates that the sidewalk in
this area should extend a block further south, Photo : Arbor Lane and Arbor Avenue, looking south
Traffic Safety Committee Report of November 4, 2015
Page 4 of 11
Map : Arbor Lane and Arbor Avenue, the crossing is marked,
the sidewalk is not shown
Photo : 61st Street and Oaklawn Avenue, looking west
Map : Oaklawn and W. 61st is circled, W. 59th and Kellogg is
starred, and the line represents speed concerns on Oaklawn
which was outside of this year’s reconstruction
project. This means that at this time, there is no
pedestrian landing or sidewalk across the street
from the existing sidewalk. A video study was
performed and found that during days of normal
usage the maximum number of crossings in a two
hour period was seventeen (17). These volumes
do not meet volume warrants for crosswalks. No
crashes related to this intersection have been
reported in the past five years. Full warrants may
be seen in appendix A.
After review, staff recommends no action
on this request, as there are not enough
crossings to warrant installation of a
crosswalk. Future consideration of a
crosswalk should be considered when the sidewalk is constructed further, as this is seen as
possibly increasing pedestrian volumes and
further channelizing the crossings into one
crosswalk.
B2. Request for stop control at the
intersection of W. 61st Street and Oaklawn
Avenue
This request comes from a resident who is
concerned that previous traffic safety requests
failed to consider pedestrian movements at the
intersection of 61st Street and Oaklawn Avenue.
Previous investigations of the area resulted in
yield signs being placed for 61st Street, on the
east and west legs of the intersection. A video
study was performed and found that 934
movements are made in this intersection on the
average day, including bicycling and pedestrian
movements. This is half of what warrants would
require. The number of entering movements on
61st Street is 271 while Oaklawn has 663
entering movements. Two right angle crashes
have occurred at this intersection in the past five
years. All these crashes have been property
damage only. These crashes are seen a susceptible
to correction by stop signs. Full warrants for stop
signs may be seen in appendix B.
After review, staff recommends no action
on this request. This recommendation
considered warrants for stop signs, and existing volumes being less than half of what is
needed to warrant signage. In addition the traffic patterns as observed on the camera were
not seen as abnormally dangerous.

B3. Request for creation of a 4-way stop at 59th Street and Kellogg Avenue to slow traffic in the
neighborhood
This request concerns the intersection of Kellogg
Avenue and 59th Street. Currently the
intersection is controlled by stop signs on 59th
Street, but a request was received for the
intersection to have stop signs added to it
specifically. The request also included an ask for
slowing traffic in the neighborhood using stop
signs at intersections. Even when informed that
this strategy was not used by the City of Edina
and alternate traffic calming measures were
presented, the requestor continued to ask for
more stop signs to slow traffic in the
neighborhood. Counters were placed and Kellogg
Avenue was found to carry 207 vehicles per day
with an 85th-percentile seed of 28.1 mph. These
numbers are very similar to studies conducted in
2007, 2012 and 2013 on this roadway. 59th Street
was seen as carrying 85 vehicles per day with an
85th-percentile speed of 17.9 mph. This may be
due to the extremely narrow construction of 59th
Street, which is only 18 feet wide east of Kellogg
and 23 feet wide west of Kellogg. Complete
warrants for stop signs can be seen in appendix B.
After review, staff recommends no action on this request. Counters placed did not observe
excessive speeds, and stop sign warrants were not met. Using stop signs to control
volumes and speeds is not recommended by the City of Edina.
B4. Request for slowing traffic on Oaklawn
Avenue south of 59th Street
This request concerns traffic on Oaklawn
Avenue, which is perceived to be very fast
moving and detrimental to the safety and
tranquility of the area. A counter was placed in
this location and found that an average of 422
vehicles use Oaklawn Avenue in this location,
with an 85th-percentile speed of 29.7 mph. Only
one crash has occurred in the last five years on
this stretch of Oaklawn Avenue, this was a rear-
end crash which was determined to be due to
driver distraction.
After review, staff recommends no action
on this request. The requestor’s concerns
were not supported by traffic data.

B5. Request for stop signs at the intersection of 57th Street and Abbott Avenue
This request concerns the intersection of 57th Street and Abbott Avenue. 57th Street has 226 ADT and a
25 mph 85th-percentile speed from a 2014 study. A 2015 count on Abbott Avenue found that the street
had 140 ADT and 23.8 mph 85th-percentile speeds. There has been one crash at this intersection in the
last ten years, in 2007, as a vehicle southbound and eastbound collided in the intersection. The crash did
not result in injury and was not noted as having any influencing or improper factors by the reporting
officer. This intersection had some sightline issues, of which those covered by city ordinance have been
removed. The intersection also is skewed, with the streets connecting at an angle of approximately 70-
degrees instead of the full 90-degrees associated
with the grid in the surrounding area. This skew
can make some drivers uncomfortable. Full
warrants for stop signs may be seen in appendix
B.
After review, staff recommends no action
on this request. This recommendation
considers the lack of warrants met, and no
recent crash history.
B6. Request for slowing traffic on Code Avenue between Porter Avenue and 60th Street
Over the summer, traffic from the Birchcrest B
roadway reconstruction projects was perceived
by residents as detouring down Code Avenue to
reach Benton Avenue. Residents had concerns
that traffic patterns would remain, and that the
vehicle traffic was traveling too quickly as it
descended a hill north of 60th Street and south of
Porter Avenue. While data was not collected
during the construction season due to the
needed street sweeping in the area, counts taken
after construction revealed that 369 vehicles per
day used Code Avenue and the 85th-percentile
speed was 27.9 mph. Both Porter Avenue and
60th Street maintain their crown through the
intersection and create vertical deflection, acting
slightly like speed bumps in reducing vehicle
speeds. This area will be reconstructed in 2017.
There have been two crashes on Code Avenue in
the past five years, neither of which appear to be
related to speed.
After review, staff recommends no
immediate action be taken on Code
Avenue. This request has been forwarded
and added to the Birchcrest A
reconstruction, which will include this street, such that calming measures may be added in
the 2017 reconstruction.

B7. Intersection lane assignment concerns at
the intersection of 50th Street, and Halifax
Avenue
This request concerns the lane assignments on
Halifax Avenue as it intersects 50th Street.
Currently there are two lanes entering the
intersection on both the north and south
approaches. On the north side, there is a right-
turn only lane and a shared left/through lane,
while on the south side of the intersection there
is a left-turn only lane and the right lane is a
shared right/through lane. The requestor feels
that this set up is confusing and causes persons
traveling north to assume that the lane
assignments for southbound traffic mirror their
own, and thus begin their left turns in front of
oncoming traffic. There have been no crashes at
this intersection in the past five years that reflect such confusion.
After review, staff recommends no action on this item. There have been crashes at this
intersection, but none of them reflect the scenario as described by the requestor.
Therefore, there is no evidence that this situation causes dangerous confusion. The
requestor did not leave contact information with staff to be informed of this
recommendation.
Section D : Other items handled by traffic safety
D1. The Edina Colonial Church and Edina Methodist Church wish to change or add signage on Tracy
Avenue concurrent with reconstruction of the road. The relevant code sections were examined and
found to be acceptable so long as the signs were brown with white lettering, at least fifty feet from any
traffic control devices and intersections.
D2. A Deaf Child sign was slated for removal, as the child for which it was placed is now eighteen, in
college, and no longer residing with her parents.
D3. A resident wished to express concern on the future of Maloney Avenue as U.S. 169 is
reconstructed in the coming years. The area has several pre-existing counts, and there is a good
understanding of how the area functions currently. When U.S. 169 is shut down counts may be retaken
to understand if this area warrants traffic calming, diversion or other measures to maintain its safety for
residents.

Appendix A:
Crosswalk Warrants
A. Marked crosswalks are placed at locations that are unusually hazardous or at locations not
readily apparent as having pedestrian movement.
B. Marked crosswalks will only be placed in an area that has 20 or more pedestrian crossings in a
two-hour period.
C. Marking for crosswalks will be established by measuring the “Vehicle Gap Time”. This is the
total number of gaps between vehicular traffic recorded during the average five minute period in
the peak hour. Criteria for markings are:
1) More than five gaps – pavement marking and signage only.
2) Less than five gaps – add actuated pedestrian signals.
D. Crosswalks will not be placed on arterial roads or roads with a speed limit greater than 30 mph
unless in conjunction with signalization.
E. Other conditions that warrant crosswalks:
1) Routes to schools
2) Locations adjacent to libraries, community centers, and other high use public facilities.
3) Locations adjacent to public parks.
4) Locations where significant numbers of handicapped persons cross a street.
5) Locations where significant numbers of senior citizens cross a street.
F. Crosswalks will only be placed at intersections.
Traffic Safety Committee Report of November 4, 2015
Page 9 of 11
Appendix B:
Stop Sign Warrants
When it is determined that a full stop is always required on an approach to an intersection a STOP (R1-
1) sign shall be used.
At intersections where a full stop is not necessary at all times, consideration should first be given to
using less restrictive measures such as YIELD signs.
The use of STOP signs on the minor-street approaches should be considered if engineering judgment
indicates that a stop is always required because of one or more of the following conditions:
A. The vehicular traffic volumes on the through street or highway exceed 6,000 vehicles per day;
B. A restricted view exists that requires road users to stop in order to adequately observe conflicting
traffic on the through street or highway.
C. Crash records indicate that three or more crashes that are susceptible to correction with the
installation of a STOP sign have been reported within a 12-month period, or that five or more such
crashes have been reported within a 2-year period. Such crashes include right-angle collisions
involving road users from the minor street failing to yield the right-of-way to traffic on the through
street or highway.
Additional warrants which do not specify the type of control are as follows;
A. An intersection of a less important road with a main road where application of the normal right-of
way rule would not be expected to provide reasonable compliance with the law;
B. A street entering a designated through highway or street; and/or
C. An un-signalized intersection in a signalized area.
In addition, the use of YIELD or STOP signs should be considered at the intersection of two minor
streets or local roads where the intersection has more than three approaches and where one or more
of the following conditions exist:
A. The combined vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian volume entering the intersection from all
approaches averages more the 2,000 units per day;
B. The ability to see conflicting traffic on an approach is not sufficient to allow a road user to stop or
yield in compliance with the normal right-of-way rule if such stopping or yielding is necessary; and/or
C. Crash records indicate that five or more crashes that involve the failure to yield the right-of-way
rule have been reported within a 3-year period, or that three or more such crashes have been
reported within a 2-year period.
Additional warrants from the city of Edina list that:
1. If an intersection experiences five (5) or more right angle accidents in a three (3) year period, stop
signs should be considered.
2. If the presence of a sight obstruction is contributing to accidents at an intersection, removal of the
sight obstruction should be sought before considering a stop sign.
3. If the 85th percentile speed on any leg of an intersection is more than five (5) MPH over the posted
speed limit, a stop sign should be considered for the intersecting street.
4. If traffic volumes exceed 1,000 vehicles per day on each of the intersecting streets, stop signs should
be considered.
5. Residential stop signs shall not be installed in an attempt to control speed.
6. Residential stop signs shall not be installed in an attempt to control volume.

transportation for the benefit of the citizens of Minnesota.
6. Each party wishes to occasionally procure services from the other party, which the parties agree will
enhance the efficiency of delivering governmental services at all levels. This Master Partnership Contract
provides a framework for the efficient handling of such requests. This Master Partnership Contract
contains terms generally governing the relationship between the parties hereto. When specific services are
requested, the parties will (unless otherwise specified herein) enter into a “Work Order” contracts.
7. Subsequent to the execution of this Master Partnership Contract, the parties may (but are not required to)
enter into “Work Order” contracts. These Work Orders will specify the work to be done, timelines for
completion, and compensation to be paid for the specific work.
8. The parties are entering into this Master Partnership Contract to establish terms that will govern all of the

1.4. Work Order Contracts. A work order contract must be negotiated and executed (by both the State
and the Local Government) for each particular engagement, except for Technical Services
provided by the State to the Local Government as specified in Article 2. The work order contract
must specify the detailed scope of work and deliverables for that engagement. A party must not
begin work under a work order until such work order is fully executed. The terms of this Master
Partnership Contract will apply to all work orders issued hereunder, unless specifically varied in
the work order. The Local Government understands that this Master Contract is not a guarantee of
any payments or work order assignments, and that payments will only be issued for work actually
performed under fully-executed work orders.
1.5. Survival of Terms. The following clauses survive the expiration or cancellation of this master
contract and all work order contracts: 12. Liability; 13. State Audits; 14. Government Data
Practices and Intellectual Property; 17. Publicity; 18. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue;
and 22. Data Disclosure. All terms of this Master Contract will survive with respect to any Work
Order issued prior to the expiration date of the Master Contract.
1.6. Sample Work Order. A sample work order contract is available upon request from the State.
2. Technical Services
2.1. Technical Services include repetitive low-cost services routinely performed by the State for the
Local Government. These services may be performed by the State for the Local Government
without the execution of a work order, as these services are provided in accordance with
standardized practices and processes and do not require a detailed scope of work. Technical
services are limited to the following services:
2.1.1. Pavement Striping, Sign and Signal Repair, Bridge Load Ratings, Bridge and Structure
Inspections, Minor Bridge Maintenance, Minor Road Maintenance (such as guard rail repair
and sign knockdown repair), Pavement Condition Data, Materials Testing and Carcass
Removal.
2.1.2. Every other service not falling under the services listed in 2.1.1 will require a Work
Order contract.
2.2. The Local Government may request the State to perform Technical Services in an informal
manner, such as by the use of email, a purchase order, or by delivering materials to a State lab
and requesting testing. A request may be made via telephone, but will not be considered accepted
unless acknowledged in writing by the State.
2.3. The State will promptly inform the Local Government if the State will be unable to perform the
requested Technical Services. Otherwise, the State will perform the Technical Services in
accordance with the State’s normal processes and practices, including scheduling practices taking
into account the availability of State staff and equipment.
2.4. Payment Basis. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties prior to performance of the services,
the State will charge the Local Government the State’s then-current rate for performing the
Technical Services. The then-current rate may include the State’s normal and customary labor
additives. The State will invoice the Local Government upon completion of the services, or at
regular intervals not more than once monthly as agreed upon by the parties. The invoice will
provide a summary of the Technical Services provided by the State during the invoice period.
3. Services Requiring A Work Order Contract
3.1. Work Order Contracts: A party may request the other party to perform any of the following
services under individual work order contracts.
Page 2 of 14
CM Master Partnership Contract (CM Rev. 10/05/2015)
MnDOT Agreement # 1002045
3.2. Professional and Technical Services. A party may provide professional and technical services
upon the request of the other party. As defined by Minn. Stat. §16C.08, subd. 1,
professional/technical services “means services that are intellectual in character, including
consultation, analysis, evaluation, prediction, planning, programming, or recommendation; and
result in the production of a report or completion of a task.” Professional and technical services
do not include providing supplies or materials except as incidental to performing such services.
Professional and technical services include (by way of example and without limitation)
engineering services, surveying, foundation recommendations and reports, environmental
documentation, right-of-way assistance (such as performing appraisals or providing relocation
assistance, but excluding the exercise of the power of eminent domain), geometric layouts, final
construction plans, graphic presentations, public relations, and facilitating open houses. A party
will normally provide such services with its own personnel; however, a party’s
professional/technical services may also include hiring and managing outside consultants to
perform work provided that a party itself provides active project management for the use of such
outside consultants.
3.3. Roadway Maintenance. A party may provide roadway maintenance upon the request of the other
party. Roadway maintenance does not include roadway reconstruction. This work may include
but is not limited to snow removal, ditch spraying, roadside mowing, bituminous mill and overlay
(only small projects), seal coat, bridge hits, major retaining wall failures, major drainage failures,
and message painting. All services must be performed by an employee with sufficient skills,
training, expertise or certification to perform such work, and work must be supervised by a
qualified employee of the party performing the work.
3.4. Construction Administration. A party may administer roadway construction projects upon the
request of the other party. Roadway construction includes (by way of example and without
limitation) the construction, reconstruction, or rehabilitation of mainline, shoulder, median,
pedestrian or bicycle pathway, lighting and signal systems, pavement mill and overlays, seal
coating, guardrail installation, and channelization. These services may be performed by the
Providing Party’s own forces, or the Providing Party may administer outside contracts for such
work. Construction administration may include letting and awarding construction contracts for
such work (including state projects to be completed in conjunction with local projects). All
contract administration services must be performed by an employee with sufficient skills,
training, expertise or certification to perform such work.
3.5. Emergency Services. A party may provide aid upon request of the other party in the event of a
man-made disaster, natural disaster or other act of God. Emergency services includes all those
services as the parties mutually agree are necessary to plan for, prepare for, deal with, and recover
from emergency situations. These services include, without limitation, planning, engineering,
construction, maintenance, and removal and disposal services related to things such as road
closures, traffic control, debris removal, flood protection and mitigation, sign repair, sandbag
activities and general cleanup. Work will be performed by an employee with sufficient skills,
training, expertise or certification to perform such work, and work must be supervised by a
qualified employee of the party performing the work. If it is not feasible to have an executed
work order prior to performance of the work, the parties will promptly confer to determine
whether work may be commenced without a fully-executed work order in place. If work
commences without a fully-executed work order, the parties will follow up with execution of a
work order as soon as feasible.
3.6. When a need is identified, the State and the Local Government will discuss the proposed work
and the resources needed to perform the work. If a party desires to perform such work, the parties
will negotiate the specific and detailed work tasks and cost. The State will then prepare a work
order contract. Generally, a work order contract will be limited to one specific
Page 3 of 14
CM Master Partnership Contract (CM Rev. 10/05/2015)
MnDOT Agreement # 1002045
project/engagement, although “on call” work orders may be prepared for certain types of services,
especially for “Technical Services” items as identified section 2.1.2. The work order will also
identify specific deliverables required, and timeframes for completing work. A work order must
be fully executed by the parties prior to work being commenced. The Local Government will not
be paid for work performed prior to execution of a work order and authorization by the State.
4. Responsibilities of the Providing Party
The party requesting the work will be referred to as the “Requesting Party” and the party performing the
work will be referred to as the “Providing Party.” Each work order will set forth particular requirements
for that project/engagement.
4.1. Terms Applicable to ALL Work Orders. The terms in this section 4.1 will apply to ALL work
orders.
4.1.1. Each work order will identify an Authorized Representative for each party. Each party’s
authorized representative is responsible for administering the work order, and has the
authority to make any decisions regarding the work, and to give and receive any notices
required or permitted under this Master Contract or the work order.
4.1.2. The Providing Party will furnish and assign a publicly employed licensed engineer
(Project Engineer), to be in responsible charge of the project(s) and to supervise and
direct the work to be performed under each work order. For services not requiring an
engineer, the Providing Party will furnish and assign another responsible employee to be
in charge of the project. The services of the Providing Party under a work order may not
be otherwise assigned, sublet, or transferred unless approved in writing by the Requesting
Party’s authorized representative. This written consent will in no way relieve the
Providing Party from its primary responsibility for the work.
4.1.3. If the Local Government is the Providing Party, the Project Engineer may request in
writing specific engineering and/or technical services from the State, pursuant to Minn.
Stat. Section 161.39. The work order may require the Local Government to deposit
payment in advance or may, at the State’s option, permit payment in arrears. If the State
furnishes the services requested, the Local Government will promptly pay the State to
reimburse the state trunk highway fund for the full cost and expense of furnishing such
services. The costs and expenses will include the current State labor additives and
overhead rates, subject to adjustment based on actual direct costs that have been verified
by audit.
4.1.4. Only the receipt of a fully executed work order contract authorizes the Providing Party to
begin work on a project. Any and all effort, expenses, or actions taken by the Providing
Party before the work order contract is fully executed is considered unauthorized and
undertaken at the risk of non-payment.
4.1.5. In connection with the performance of this contract and any work orders issued
hereunder, the Providing Agency will comply with all applicable Federal and State laws
and regulations. When the Providing Party is authorized or permitted to award contracts
in connection with any work order, the Providing Party will require and cause its
contractors and subcontractors to comply with all Federal and State laws and regulations.
4.2. Additional Terms for Roadway Maintenance. The terms of section 4.1 and this section 4.2 will
apply to all work orders for Roadway Maintenance.
4.2.1. Unless otherwise provided for by agreement or work order, the Providing Party must
obtain all permits and sanctions that may be required for the proper and lawful
performance of the work.
Page 4 of 14
CM Master Partnership Contract (CM Rev. 10/05/2015)
MnDOT Agreement # 1002045
4.2.2. The Providing Party must perform maintenance in accordance with MnDOT maintenance
manuals, policies and operations.
4.2.3. The Providing Party must use State-approved materials, including (by way of example and
without limitation), sign posts, sign sheeting, and de-icing and anti-icing chemicals.
4.3. Additional Terms for Construction Administration. The terms of section 4.1 and this section 4.3
will apply to all work orders for construction administration.
4.3.1. Contract(s) must be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder or best value proposer in
accordance with state law.
4.3.2. Contractor(s) must be required to post payment and performance bonds in an amount
equal to the contract amount. The Providing Party will take all necessary action to make
claims against such bonds in the event of any default by the contractor.
4.3.3. Contractor(s) must be required to perform work in accordance with the latest edition of
the Minnesota Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Construction.
4.3.4. For work performed on State right-of-way, contractor(s) must be required to indemnify
and hold the State harmless against any loss incurred with respect to the performance of
the contracted work, and must be required to provide evidence of insurance coverage
commensurate with project risk.
4.3.5. Contractor(s) must pay prevailing wages pursuant to applicable state and federal law.
4.3.6. Contractor(s) must comply with all applicable Federal, and State laws, ordinances and
regulations, including but not limited to applicable human rights/anti-discrimination laws
and laws concerning the participation of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in federally-
assisted contracts
4.3.7. Unless otherwise agreed in a Work Order, each party will be responsible for providing
rights of way, easement, and construction permits for its portion of the
improvements. Each party will, upon the other’s request, furnish copies of right of way
certificates, easements, and construction permits.
4.3.8. The Providing Party may approve minor changes to the Requesting Party’s portion of the
project work if such changes do not increase the Requesting Party’s cost obligation under
the applicable work order.
4.3.9. The Providing Party will not approve any contractor claims for additional compensation
without the Requesting Party’s written approval, and the execution of a proper
amendment to the applicable work order when necessary. The Local Government will
tender the processing and defense of any such claims to the State upon the State’s
request.

included in the bid solicitation and will provide any required Trunk Highway fund provisions to
be included in the Proposal for Highway Construction, that are different from those required for

11.1. Assignment. Neither party may assign or transfer any rights or obligations under this Master
Contract or any work order contract without the prior consent of the other and a fully executed
Assignment Agreement, executed and approved by the same parties who executed and approved
this Master Contract, or their successors in office.
11.2. Amendments. Any amendment to this master contract or any work order contract must be in
writing and will not be effective until it has been executed and approved by the same parties who
executed and approved the original contract, or their successors in office.
11.3. Waiver. If a party fails to enforce any provision of this master contract or any work order

11.4. Contract Complete. This master contract and any work order contract contain all negotiations and
agreements between the State and the Local Government. No other understanding regarding this
master contract or any work order contract issued hereunder, whether written or oral may be used
to bind either party.
12. Liability.
Each party will be responsible for its own acts and omissions to the extent provided by law. The Local
Government’s liability is governed by Minn. Stat. chapter 466 and other applicable law. The State’s
liability is governed by Minn. Stat. section 3.736 and other applicable law. This clause will not be

liability on behalf of the other party. A Providing Party under any work order is acting only as a
“Contractor” to the Requesting Party, as the term “Contractor” is defined in Minn. Stat. §115B.03 (subd.
10), and is entitled to the protections afforded to a “Contractor” by the Minnesota Environmental
Response and Liability Act. The parties specifically intend that Minn. Stat. §471.59 subd. 1a will apply to
any work undertaken under this Master Contract and any work order issued hereunder.
13. State Audits
Under Minn. Stat. § 16C.05, subd. 5, the party’s books, records, documents, and accounting procedures
and practices relevant to any work order contract are subject to examination by the parties and by the
State Auditor or Legislative Auditor, as appropriate, for a minimum of six years from the end of this
Master Contract.
14. Government Data Practices and Intellectual Property
Page 8 of 14

MnDOT Agreement # 1002045
14.1. Government Data Practices. The Local Government and State must comply with the Minnesota
Government Data Practices Act, Minn. Stat. Ch. 13, as it applies to all data provided by the State
under this Master Contract and any work order contract, and as it applies to all data created,
collected, received, stored, used, maintained, or disseminated by the Local Government under this
Master Contract and any work order contract. The civil remedies of Minn. Stat. § 13.08 apply to
the release of the data referred to in this clause by either the Local Government or the State.
14.2. Intellectual Property Rights
14.2.1. Intellectual Property Rights. The Requesting Party will own all rights, title, and interest in

negatives, designs, drawings, specifications, materials, tapes, and disks conceived,
reduced to practice, created or originated by the Providing Party, its employees, agents,
and subcontractors, either individually or jointly with others in the performance of this
master contract or any work order contract. Works includes “Documents.” Documents
are the originals of any databases, computer programs, reports, notes, studies,
photographs, negatives, designs, drawings, specifications, materials, tapes, disks, or other
materials, whether in tangible or electronic forms, prepared by the Providing Party, its
employees, agents, or contractors, in the performance of a work order contract. The
Documents will be the exclusive property of the Requesting Party and all such
Documents must be immediately returned to the Requesting Party by the Providing Party
upon completion or cancellation of the work order contract. To the extent possible, those
Works eligible for copyright protection under the United States Copyright Act will be
deemed to be “works made for hire.” The Providing Party Government assigns all right,
title, and interest it may have in the Works and the Documents to the Requesting Party.
The Providing Party must, at the request of the Requesting Party, execute all papers and
perform all other acts necessary to transfer or record the Requesting Party’s ownership
interest in the Works and Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Requesting
Party grants the Providing Party an irrevocable and royalty-free license to use such
intellectual property for its own non-commercial purposes, including dissemination to
political subd.s of the state of Minnesota and to transportation-related agencies such as
the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.
14.2.2. Obligations with Respect to Intellectual Property.
14.2.2.1. Notification. Whenever any invention, improvement, or discovery (whether or
not patentable) is made or conceived for the first time or actually or
constructively reduced to practice by the Providing Party, including its
employees and subcontractors, in the performance of the work order contract,
the Providing Party will immediately give the Requesting Party’s Authorized
Representative written notice thereof, and must promptly furnish the

15. Affirmative Action
Page 9 of 14
CM Master Partnership Contract (CM Rev. 10/05/2015)
MnDOT Agreement # 1002045
The State intends to carry out its responsibility for requiring affirmative action by its Contractors,
pursuant to Minn. Stat. §363A.36. Pursuant to that Statute, the Local Government is encouraged to
prepare and implement an affirmative action plan for the employment of minority persons, women, and
the qualified disabled, and submit such plan to the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Human
Rights. In addition, when the Local Government lets a contract for the performance of work under a work
order issued pursuant to this Master Contract, it must include the following in the bid or proposal
solicitation and any contracts awarded as a result thereof:
15.1. Covered Contracts and Contractors. If the Contract exceeds $100,000 and the Contractor
employed more than 40 full-time employees on a single working day during the previous 12
months in Minnesota or in the state where it has its principle place of business, then the
Contractor must comply with the requirements of Minn. Stat. § 363A.36 and Minn. R. Parts
5000.3400-5000.3600. A Contractor covered by Minn. Stat. § 363A.36 because it employed more
than 40 full-time employees in another state and does not have a certificate of compliance, must
certify that it is in compliance with federal affirmative action requirements.
15.2. Minn. Stat. § 363A.36. Minn. Stat. § 363A.36 requires the Contractor to have an affirmative
action plan for the employment of minority persons, women, and qualified disabled individuals
approved by the Minnesota Commissioner of Human Rights (“Commissioner”) as indicated by a
certificate of compliance. The law addresses suspension or revocation of a certificate of
compliance and contract consequences in that event. A contract awarded without a certificate of
compliance may be voided.
15.3. Minn. R. Parts 5000.3400-5000.3600.
15.3.1. General. Minn. R. Parts 5000.3400-5000.3600 implement Minn. Stat. § 363A.36. These
rules include, but are not limited to, criteria for contents, approval, and implementation of
affirmative action plans; procedures for issuing certificates of compliance and criteria for
determining a contractor’s compliance status; procedures for addressing deficiencies,
sanctions, and notice and hearing; annual compliance reports; procedures for compliance
review; and contract consequences for non-compliance. The specific criteria for approval
or rejection of an affirmative action plan are contained in various provisions of Minn. R.
Parts 5000.3400-5000.3600 including, but not limited to, parts 5000.3420-5000.3500 and
5000.3552-5000.3559.
15.3.2. Disabled Workers. The Contractor must comply with the following affirmative action
requirements for disabled workers:
15.3.2.1. The Contractor must not discriminate against any employee or applicant for
employment because of physical or mental disability in regard to any position
for which the employee or applicant for employment is qualified. The
Contractor agrees to take affirmative action to employ, advance in
employment, and otherwise treat qualified disabled persons without
discrimination based upon their physical or mental disability in all employment
practices such as the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer,
recruitment, advertising, layoff or termination, rates of pay or other forms of
compensation, and selection for training, including apprenticeship.
15.3.2.2. The Contractor agrees to comply with the rules and relevant orders of the
Minnesota Department of Human Rights issued pursuant to the Minnesota
Human Rights Act.
15.3.2.3. In the event of the Contractor's noncompliance with the requirements of this
clause, actions for noncompliance may be taken in accordance with Minn. Stat.
Section 363A.36, and the rules and relevant orders of the Minnesota
Page 10 of 14
CM Master Partnership Contract (CM Rev. 10/05/2015)
MnDOT Agreement # 1002045
Department of Human Rights issued pursuant to the Minnesota Human Rights
Act.
15.3.2.4. The Contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees
and applicants for employment, notices in a form to be prescribed by the
commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights. Such notices
must state the Contractor's obligation under the law to take affirmative action
to employ and advance in employment qualified disabled employees and
applicants for employment, and the rights of applicants and employees.
15.3.2.5. The Contractor must notify each labor union or representative of workers with
which it has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract understanding,
that the Contractor is bound by the terms of Minn. Stat. Section 363A.36, of
the Minnesota Human Rights Act and is committed to take affirmative action
to employ and advance in employment physically and mentally disabled
persons.
15.3.3. Consequences. The consequences for the Contractor’s failure to implement its affirmative
action plan or make a good faith effort to do so include, but are not limited to, suspension or
revocation of a certificate of compliance by the Commissioner, refusal by the
Commissioner to approve subsequent plans, and termination of all or part of this contract by
the Commissioner or the State.
15.3.4. Certification. The Contractor hereby certifies that it is in compliance with the requirements
of Minn. Stat. § 363A.36 and Minn. R. Parts 5000.3400-5000.3600 and is aware of the
consequences for noncompliance.
16. Workers’ Compensation
Each party will be responsible for its own employees for any workers compensation claims. This Master
Contract, and any work orders issued hereunder, are not intended to constitute an interchange of
government employees under Minn. Stat. §15.53. To the extent that this Master Contract, or any work
order issued hereunder, is determined to be subject to Minn. Stat. §15.53, such statute will control to the
extent of any conflict between the Contract and the statute.
17. Publicity
17.1. Publicity. Any publicity regarding the subject matter of a work order contract where the State is
the Requesting Party must identify the State as the sponsoring agency and must not be released
without prior written approval from the State’s Authorized Representative. For purposes of this
provision, publicity includes notices, informational pamphlets, press releases, research, reports,
signs, and similar public notices prepared by or for the Local Government individually or jointly
with others, or any subcontractors, with respect to the program, publications, or services provided
resulting from a work order contract.
17.2. Data Practices Act. Section 17.1 is not intended to override the Local Government’s
responsibilities under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act.
18. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue
Minnesota law, without regard to its choice-of-law provisions, governs this master contract and all work
order contracts. Venue for all legal proceedings out of this master contract or any work order contracts, or
the breach of any such contracts, must be in the appropriate state or federal court with competent
jurisdiction in Ramsey County, Minnesota.
19. Prompt Payment; Payment to Subcontractors
Page 11 of 14
CM Master Partnership Contract (CM Rev. 10/05/2015)
MnDOT Agreement # 1002045
The parties must make prompt payment of their obligations in accordance with applicable law. As
required by Minn. Stat. § 16A.1245, when the Local Government lets a contract for work pursuant to any
work order, the Local Government must require its contractor to pay all subcontractors, less any
retainage, within 10 calendar days of the prime contractor's receipt of payment from the Local
Government for undisputed services provided by the subcontractor(s) and must pay interest at the rate of
one and one-half percent per month or any part of a month to the subcontractor(s) on any undisputed
amount not paid on time to the subcontractor(s).
20. Minn. Stat. § 181.59. The Local Government will comply with the provisions of Minn. Stat. § 181.59
which requires: Every contract for or on behalf of the state of Minnesota, or any county, city, town,
township, school, school district, or any other district in the state, for materials, supplies, or construction
shall contain provisions by which the Contractor agrees: (1) That, in the hiring of common or skilled
labor for the performance of any work under any contract, or any subcontract, no contractor, material
supplier, or vendor, shall, by reason of race, creed, or color, discriminate against the person or persons
who are citizens of the United States or resident aliens who are qualified and available to perform the
work to which the employment relates; (2) That no contractor, material supplier, or vendor, shall, in any
manner, discriminate against, or intimidate, or prevent the employment of any person or persons
identified in clause (1) of this section, or on being hired, prevent, or conspire to prevent, the person or
persons from the performance of work under any contract on account of race, creed, or color; (3) That a
violation of this section is a misdemeanor; and (4) That this contract may be canceled or terminated by the
state, county, city, town, school board, or any other person authorized to grant the contracts for
employment, and all money due, or to become due under the contract, may be forfeited for a second or
any subsequent violation of the terms or conditions of this contract.
21. Termination; Suspension
21.1. Termination by the State for Convenience. The State or commissioner of Administration may
cancel this Master Contract and any work order contracts at any time, with or without cause, upon
30 days written notice to the Local Government. Upon termination, the Local Government and
the State will be entitled to payment, determined on a pro rata basis, for services satisfactorily
performed.
21.2. Termination by the Local Government for Convenience. The Local Government may cancel this
Master Contract and any work order contracts at any time, with or without cause, upon 30 days
written notice to the State. Upon termination, the Local Government and the State will be entitled
to payment, determined on a pro rata basis, for services satisfactorily performed.
21.3. Termination for Insufficient Funding. The State may immediately terminate or suspend this
Master Contract and any work order contract if it does not obtain funding from the Minnesota
legislature or other funding source; or if funding cannot be continued at a level sufficient to allow
for the payment of the services covered here. Termination or suspension must be by written or fax
notice to the Local Government. The State is not obligated to pay for any services that are
provided after notice and effective date of termination or suspension. However, the Local
Government will be entitled to payment, determined on a pro rata basis, for services satisfactorily
performed to the extent that funds are available. The State will not be assessed any penalty if the
master contract or work order is terminated because of the decision of the Minnesota legislature
or other funding source, not to appropriate funds. The State must provide the Local Government
notice of the lack of funding within a reasonable time of the State’s receiving that notice.
22. Data Disclosure
Under Minn. Stat. §270C.65, subd. 3, and other applicable law, the Local Government consents to
disclosure of its federal employer tax identification number, and/or Minnesota tax identification number,
already provided to the State, to federal and state tax agencies and state personnel involved in the
Page 12 of 14
CM Master Partnership Contract (CM Rev. 10/05/2015)
MnDOT Agreement # 1002045
payment of state obligations. These identification numbers may be used in the enforcement of federal and
state tax laws which could result in action requiring the Local Government to file state tax returns and pay
delinquent state tax liabilities, if any.
23. Defense of Claims and Lawsuits
If any lawsuit or claim is filed by a third party (including but not limited to the Local Government’s
contractors and subcontractors), arising out of trunk highway work performed pursuant to a valid work
order issued under this Master Contract, the Local Government will, at the discretion of and upon the
request of the State, tender the defense of such claims to the State or allow the State to participate in the
defense of such claims. The Local Government will, however, be solely responsible for defending any
lawsuit or claim, or any portion thereof, when the claim or cause of action asserted is based on its own
acts or omissions in performing or supervising the work. The Local Government will not purport to
represent the State in any litigation, settlement, or alternative dispute resolution process. The State will
not be responsible for any judgment entered against the Local Government, and will not be bound by the
terms of any settlement entered into by the Local Government except with the written approval of the
Attorney General and the Commissioner of Transportation and pursuant to applicable law.

Parks, Recreation and Trails Strategic Plan
Information / Background:
On September 2, 2014, the City Council approved a consulting services agreement with a consulting
team led by Minneapolis based Confluence. Confluence provides landscape architecture, urban
design and planning services with offices in Minneapolis, Des Moines, Kansas City, Sioux Falls and
Iowa City. Other Confluence group team members working on this project have been Pros
Consulting (Indianapolis), 292 Design (Minneapolis), Dreambox (Minneapolis) and Barr Engineering
(Minneapolis). The Park Board led the strategic plan consultant section process in the fall of 2014.
The Park Board has been working on the Park, Recreation and Trails Strategic Plan since October
2014. The process started with a Needs Assessment Study by the ETC Institute in September 2014
and a GIS inventory of the park system by Geographic Technologies Group (GTG). The GIS inventory
and related mapping was completed in November 2014.
Confluence and Pros Consulting led us through the following phases:
Phase 1 - Review – Analysis and Inventory – Oct. 9 – Nov. 30, 2014
Phase 2 – Public Involvement (Staff, stakeholder and focus group meetings and a public workshop)
– December 2014
Phase 3 – Programs and Services Analysis – Dec. 15, 2014 – Feb. 10, 2015
Phase 4 – Prioritization of Demands and Needs – Feb. 12 – April 9, 2015
Phase 5 – Presentation of Findings and Deliverables – April 15 – June 15, 2015
Phase 6 - Final Plan Adoption

The Park Board received updates and opportunities for input at the November and December 2014
Park Board meetings and the February, March, April and May 2015 Park Board meetings. Park Board
members Ellen Jones, Keeya Steel, Louis Segreto and Cathy Cella also participated in many early
morning Strategic Planning Committee meetings, especially in the first several months of the
process. The City Council received updates and opportunities to provide input in December 2014,
March, May, June and October 2015. The City of Edina has a project page on the website providing
updates and information regarding the strategic planning process, including drafts of the plan as it
has evolved. City staff has had ample opportunities to review and provide feedback on the plan.
After over fifteen months of work, we’ve reached the final adoption stage of the planning process.
Confluence made the changes suggested by the City Council at the Oct. 2, 2015 Work Session. Staff
is requesting final adoption of the Strategic Plan.
A full electronic version of the Parks, Recreation and Trails Strategic Plan is available for download
on the city’s website at: http://edinamn.gov/index.php?section=parks-strategic-plan. There are three
sections of the Strategic Plan to download: Part 1 – Strategic Plan; Part 2 – Community Needs

Request for Purchase – Fire Suppression System
November 4, 2015 December 31, 2015
1. Nardini (protect 3 rooms)
2. Electric Scientific (protect 2 rooms)
1. $40,751.00
2. $38,250.00
Recommended Quote or Bid:
Nardini $40,751.00
Information/Background:
In order to better protect the City’s datacenters, we are requesting the installation of a "clean agent" fire
suppression system in the server room at City Hall, Council Chambers Control Room, and the server room
at Public Works.
If our current water-based system was activated by fire, any system not destroyed by fire would likely be
damaged by the water. This would be catastrophic to our operations. The new clean agent system uses a gas
stored in a liquid form that when released extinguishes the fire before it has a chance to start. This system is
safer for the equipment and also allows us to delay the system discharge with a control panel in the room.
We recommend Nardini’s quote because their quote provides three suppression systems. The quote for
Electric Scientific provides systems only for the City Hall server room and Public Works server rooms.
In addition to this purchase of fire suppression systems, this project will also require approximately $19,000
in HVAC room preparation costs.
Once approved, we will move forward with implementing the system in the first quarter of 2016.

INTRODUCTION:
Since June 2012, the City of Edina has used the online engagement website, www.SpeakUpEdina.org, to collect
ideas and opinions from residents. One of the City Council’s six strategic priorities for 2014-2015 has been
Communication and Engagement: “To clearly understand community needs, expectations and opinions, the City
will consistently seek the input of a broad range of stakeholders in meaningful and interactive communication.” A
goal of that is to host a monthly discussion on www.SpeakUpEdina.org.
The November discussion focused on public safety. The City of Edina provides police, fire and EMS services.
According to the 2015 Quality of Life Survey, 21 percent of residents surveyed have contacted the Police
Department in the last year. In addition, 98 percent of those surveyed rate fire and EMS services as “excellent” or
“good.” Police services received an “excellent” or “good” rating from 90 percent and 87 percent gave those marks
for crime prevention. About 4 percent of those surveyed said “safety” is the biggest issue facing Edina.
The City asked the following questions:
Do you feel safe living in and visiting different areas of the city? Why or why not?
What areas of Edina could benefit from enhanced police presence?
How would you describe your biggest safety concern?
The discussion was open for comments between Oct. 29 and Dec. 7. During that time, 28 comments were made.
Additionally, 756 users visited the site 1,067 times, garnering 4,006 page views. All commenters in this discussion
were from Edina.

I have lived in three locations in Edina - the Countryside neighborhood, along Cahill Road and now in the Colony on Barrie Road, close to Fairview
Southdale Hospital. The Colony has some safety issues - mainly car break ins - but the complex itself feels safe, as did the other homes which I've
owned.
What is not safe is the lack of sidewalks through the community. The neighborhood around the Colony has a lot of residents and car traffic, but people
who live here are forced to walk in the street, which can be tricky at night and in the winter. Even 65th, the street that conies along the Southdale
outpatient entrance, doesn't have continuous sidewalks. In the winter, I have seen a very frail senior, a mother pushing a stroller with a small child
grabbing her hand, walking in the street in front of businesses that apparently chose not to build sidewalks as a courtesy to pedestrian. Not every can or
want to drive. Walking is a important, inexpensive way to keep healthy. Walking in our neighborhood is so dangerous that very few people do it. Two
things complicate the situation. The level of street lighting is quite low, making driving at night more different and leaving "dark spots" were one
cannot easily see pedestrians. Next is the issue of crosswalks. All day between Southdale Medical Center and the hospital, there is a steady stream of
people walking across the street in the middle of the block - with no warning signs or crosswalks. I have confirmed that Southdale officials have asked
for a crosswalk from the city, but have been turned down. There are people driving from the East, people turning out of Southdale Medical and the
hospital, and people turning left off of France, where the road curves and people often don't use their turn signals. During construction for perhaps 9
http://speakupedina.org/discussions/public-safety-1/topics/feeling-safe 1/6
12/9/2015 City of Edina
months in the last 12 months, sides walks on both sides of the street were temporarily closed, which made jaywalking more likely.
This situation has been the same whether one tries to leave the neighborhood toward the pool park (hard to reach on foot), Southdale Shopping Center,
the businesses in Southdale Square and along York. Poorly marked or non-existent crosswalk markings - not of the high quality one sees elswhere in
the city and street lights without the "timed walk" feature - so people cannot see how much time they have to cross. On all three of those streets, there
really aren't safe medians and traffic tends to drive 10-15 miles above posted limits.
Only at Xerxes and 64th has the city done something better - flashing lights marked crosswalks - that went in this summer. If a person doesn't feel safe
wallcing three blocks because of the way the city's infrastructure is designed, that simply is a major public safety issue. Our neighborhood is just an
example of this.
The city plans to "fix" the sidewalk problem over the next 30 years (too little, too late), and probably doesn't even understand what problems poor
lighting and unmarked crosswalks are.. Bikers have got some of what they wanted only by applying pressure. With the issue of pedestrian safety, a
little bit of weak communication that asks drivers, bikers and walkers to respect each other isn't enough.. Only significant plans not tomorrow but today
that are well funded will take away the problem. Lack of sidewalks and the way it limits physical fitness is simply contrary to preserving the health of
our residents.

I agree about the sidewalks. I think they are more important than a SWAT team. This is the most recent item I found on the Edina City web page. It is
dated September 18, 201411111 in a Report Recommendation to the Edina Transportation Commission from and is from Mark K. Nolan, AICP,
Transportation Planner. I couldn't any more recent items on the website nor could I find the agenda or meeting minutes, The link below seems to give
lip service to pedestrians and focuses on vehicle transportation.
"The process for submitting a traffic safety request is as follows:
Contact Engineering at 952-826-0371 or trafficsafety(&,edinamn.gov. The Traffic Safety Coordinator will gather pertinent facts from you to help define
the problem and a possible solution. The Traffic Safety Committee will review your request and make a recommendation. The recommendation will be
shared with you. If you disagree with the recommendation or can provide additional information, you can attend the Transportation Commission
meeting and the City Council meeting to present your disagreement or provide additional information. We suggest you notify all interested parties to
attend the meetings with you. The City Council makes the final decision on all traffic safety requests. A second review of the same or similar request is
at the discretion of the City Council.
All meetings are open to the public. 6 p.m. 3rd Thursday of the month City Council Chambers Edina City Hall 4801 W. 50th St."

Did you know - Edina has a SWAT team? I remember seeing a budget item for equipment and vehicles for SWAT. Heavy duty stuff. I think this is
weird. I wonder what the criteria for supporting this is in terms of numbers and needs. Is this funded solely by the city?
"Originally called the Special Entry Team (SET), the group was formed in 1986. As more responsibility was added to the teams list, the name was
changed to SWAT.
The Special Weapons And Tactics team is a group of ten police officers and four paramedics who respond to high risk situations such as:
Hostage/Barricaded Subjects, High Risk Warrants, Suicidal Persons, Civil Disturbances, Dignitary Protection, Undercover Surveillance, Disaster
Response"

I feel very safe in my community. I had a hit and run experience in the Walgreen's parking lot at 50th and Vernon. The officer responded very quickly
was extremely helpful in resolving the situation. He also followed up with me as to the outcome. I wish I could remember the young man's name
(Joseph Delgehausen?).
I did have a problem obtaining a permit to purchase a gun from the police department. The officer wasn't aware of the process, or the forms, and said I
had to pay a fee for the permit. I returned a second time with backup info and was given the form to fill out.
Also I made a suggestion to retime the left turn arrow for the stoplight at Vernon and Gleason, The left lane turners didn't give enough time for all the
cars to empty the turn lane so many drivers were running the light. The light was retimed with a week!

I have safety concerns around the Southdale Mall area after dark.
My other safety concern is hitting someone or having someone get hit walking along the street, whether it's little kids in the morning or adults walking
dogs after dark with no reflective gear. Sidewalks will help a lot with that.

I agree with David - even in a crosswalk, one has to be careful about someone who has "lcinda" stopped for a red light, but immediately makes a right
turn - ignoring the ped in the crosswalk. As to the sidewalk issue, I am always amazed at how few sidewalks there are in Edina that are 'continuous':
you'll be walking along on one for a few feet, then it disappears, only to reappear after walking a ways further. Always a question in my mind?...why
would the city put in a 'walk' for part of a block and not the whole block?

The City puts all its resources to DUI enforcement. Fine. But I never see any routine neighborhood patrols to prevent home invasion and property theft
either in my Mom's or my neighborhood. Ironic, how much more do I have to pay in property taxes to have a police force that protects my home and
property?.

People not stopping at signs is a bad problem, but distracted driving is worse. Wish there was more enforcement of those texting while driving. I don't
feel safe at Southdale after dark, so I just don't go. It will only get worse once the low-income housing opens across the street.

The city also has plenty of speed traps on Hiway 100 rather than patrolling neighborhoods for traffic violations and being familiar with those
neighborhoods. Crosswalk and bike path markings are not maintained well. New sidewalks are not well planned/built the new one at Brookside
Ave & Interlachen is too steep for children on bikes and the curb cut veers into the street .... there is also a blind spot on that curve and cars traveling
toward Vernon will not see kids soon enough to stop in a slippery / dark / or foggy situation. I had someone at city hall tell me years ago that bikes are
suppose to be ridden in the street.... tell that to a Mom with a stroller and a 3 year old on a trike.

I feel very safe in Edina except as a pedestrian. I live near 50th and France. Crossing At 50th and France and 49 1/2 and France is veiy dangerous. Cars
turning right never stop to look for pedestrians. It is safer to cross at the crosswalks near Cooks of Crocus Hill and Talbots but still scary. 49 th 1/2
street should have speed bumps. Cars turn right from France and speed down this street to get to 50th. They are going so fast that they dont have time
to slow down for people in the crosswalk near the parking ramp. Most people are on their cell phones. Edina should take the lead and become a hands-
free city like Chicago. Thanks, Jane

As I mentioned above, traffic speeds on 66th, France and York/Xerxes are excessive. In my five years at my current location, spending a lot of
time on these roads, I can only recall seeing one traffic stop, which suggests that traffic enforcement here is not a priority. I see lots of arrests on
Highway 100 (speeding and drunk driving) which is good, but cracking down on speeds or these roads would have a deterrent - or simply having
police cars parked next to the road will have some of the same effect. Some of the problem results from the timing of the traffic lights. Along
France, I think people have observed that if you are driving south toward 494, if you drive the posted limited you are likely to have to stop at
every light. In contrast, if you speed, you make the lights. If you create incentives for people to break the speed laws they will do so. If you are
driving 10 over the limits and have to stop for 10 seconds at every light, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand that you wouldn't be
getting stopped if you slow down. Please fix this situation - and the speeding problem on France, which makes pedestrian crossing much more
dangerous and riding your bike on France suicidal will greatly diminish without more enforcement.
On York Xerxes, going south, it seems like one almost inevitably is forced to stop at the entrance to the Cub Store. Continuing south after that,
http://speakupedina.org/discussions/public-safety-1/topics/extra-patrols 1/6
12/9/2015 City of Edina
the lights seem much better timed. As the furniture store site and Best Buy get redeveloped, traffic levels will increase, so if people can drive the
posted speed without being forced to stop, they will clear the area quicker, reducing congestion. Pedestrian crossings on York need some
improvement, although installation of some of the timed walk lights has improved things The danger with congestion is not just for the
pedestrian, but if not managed right, accidents will to up.
66th has become a speedway for people taking it to avoid congestion on the crosstown. The portion of it from the Eastern border of the city up to
Valley View needs more traffic control. It would be a good idea to work on a common plan with Richfield, as I suspect they have the same
challenge on the portion from 35W to their western border,.

Speeding! I like seeing the patrol cars pulling over speeders on Hwys 62, 100 and 169. Crazy. I think the 10 mile an hour overage allowance is
terrible. The speed limit is the LIMiT and not the MINIMUM! Also the stretch at 50th between Hwy 100 and and Wooddale is often a speed
alley. Also Vernon between Gleason and and the Grandview shopping area. This is where I drive the most.

This is a function of poor transportation planning and implementation. The neighborhood was originally designed around the street car and Dan
Patch Rail. If this was re-implemented then commuter vehicle traffic could be drastically reduced or at least mitigated. Sadly, there is no such
plan by the City of Edina

Hwy 100 already seems to be a focus area, but the quantity of speeders on Hwy 100 is still very high.
Another common issue which could possibly benefit from additional enforcement is pulling over drivers who are not using their headlights as
required by law during rain/snow. With the shorter days of winter upon us, it's also common to see vehicles driving around at dusk with no lights
on or just Driving Lights on. Those behaviors lead to accidents due to poor visibility. As far as where, heavily trafficked corridors such as France
Ave, W 66th St, Xerxes/York Ave, W 50th St might be good places to start.

Hello,
1. I think more patrols of the city parks is needed. Kids often go there to hang out later in the day or at night and there have been several
incidents my children have seen, and now hanging up hammocks in the parks is the new trend.
These are often used for sexual get-together or places for teens to hook up. Also, my children have witnessed Edina students doing, sex,
inappropriate 'touching' by other students, and harassment (including sexual harassment).
All have been Edina kids.
1. More lighting around Southview, Concord, Normandale, Community Center and fields, tennis courts and fields. Also, very critical to
improve security on all levels along the side road and path to Perkins - where many Edina student head after football games.
Perkins is right off of Hwy 100 and there are any people not from Edina who pull over, or attend the football games that drive along the side
street.
My son and his friend were mugged along that stretch. My son was a football player and it occurred after a home game as they went to Perkins to
eat and hang out. A car full of kids from another school pulled over, asked them if they wanted to buy drugs (they said no), then told my son and
his friends they had weapons and would shoot them. Both my son and his friend were beat up and their wallets and a phone taken - it's had a
permanent effect on him.
Camera's, lights, and more police presence is needed for football, school plays, and most activities when kids are in that area of Concord,
Normandale, Southview and the Community Center.
It's always completely dark for the first few football games because the timers are not adjusted for daylight savings time. It creates a dangerous
situation for everyone, falling, tripping over unseen things or curbs etc.
Thank you.

I would like to see more marked patrol cars around Edina schools. The main reason most people move to Edina is because of schools and the
number one priority of government is the safety of its residents. My number one priority are my children and I would like EPD to show a bigger
presence at schools to reflect a bigger concern for the safety of children in Edina. I moved from a larger but similar school district that had a
daily police presence at all schools.

Regarding extra patrols: I think everyone living in the 50th and France area would agree that extra patrols around there at rush hour time would
help. I've often thought that I wish I had an air horn to blow at drivers that: 1. run red lights, 2. makes illegal turns, 3. endanger peds with high
speed, and 4. text while driving. I walk the area every day, and I've watched any (sometimes all) of the above while walking along France and
50th. The one place that I have noticed that drivers pay attention to are the crosswalks on 50th, just west of France. I wish they were as attentive
away from those two crossings.

Jim- This is a product of poor transportation options and planning. 50th was originally designed as a neighborhood that depended on street cars
as was 44th. If you had Dan Patch rail and street cars running back to Minneapolis you would see a significant reduction in vehicle traffic but
Edina and Minneapolis have no plan to have such a vision

I understand speeding - it has some benefit in terms of getting places faster, although the amount of time saved can be kind of trivial. Tail gating
and frequently changing lanes can have the same motivation. My number on pet peeve - a public safety issue that has no possible justification
other than laziness or an indifference to others is failure to signal turns or lane changes.
That is simply dangerous driving at it worst - and something I think that perhaps a majority of drivers seem to be guilty of doing, even on very
heavily travelled roads. I have to say that I even see patrol cars not signalling turns - I cannot remember whether I've seen this Edina, but I have
seen in many places.
The worst part of this is that boorish, disrespectful behavior is something that young people see adults doing and emulating. When youth cut
corners when thery drive, too often they end up having accidents, with terrible consequences including killing themselves or someone else. If
they are not using their turn signals and such an "accident" happens, their parents and community are too blame. Youth may be too young to

using turn signals is all about.

My biggest safety concern is the lack of community policing and communication in Edina. There is no true community policing in Edina. The
officicers need to get into the community and talk to residents. Hold informational meetings to discuss safety and crime issues including any new
trends such as some of the recent home breakins.

Without a doubt, it's distracted driving. It seems to me that every-other-driver has a phone in their hand. I fear many of those are texting, and not
just talking (which is certainly bad enough!). I think a concentrated effort in different parts of our city by our police force could deter this folly. I
can stand at an intersection and watch people at every signal change play with their phone. If an officer stood at the intersection, and would
'radio' the plate number to a patrol car parked up the street to pull them over as they passed by, they could finance the city for a year within a
week's time. One more thing: earlier this summer, I received a letter from the city that said they were contemplating a restriction of a left turn
from eastbound 50th onto northbound Maple. What ever happened to that idea?

The number of distracted driver fatalities would be drastically reduced if we actually had a rail public transit system. Re-implementing the Dan
Patch corridor for commuter trains and fighting to bring back the street car on a local basis to East Edina and Southwest Minneapolis would
drastically reduce this incidents

My biggest fear is being asleep at home and having someone break into the house. It happened to my neighbor and they had to bring out the
Hennepin County helicopter and the boys in blue still couldn't catch the group that did it

ACTION REQUESTED:
Hold a public hearing to consider granting a franchise for cable television service to CenturyLink.
INTRODUCTION:
The City of Edina has been asked to grant a cable television franchise agreement to CenturyLink. The City
Council may grant this request if it finds that the applicant, CenturyLink, is capable of providing cable television
services and if the applicant agrees to provide said services under the same terms and conditions as other cable
television franchise holders in Edina. In Edina, the only other cable television franchise holder is Comcast.
The City of Edina is a member of the Southwest Cable Commission. The other member cities of the commission
are Richfield, Minnetonka, Eden Prairie and Hopkins. The commission exists to advise its member City Councils
on cable television matters. The commission considered the CenturyLink request earlier this year. The
commission voted unanimously to recommend that its member City Councils approve the CenturyLink request.
At the December 15 City Council meeting, Mr. Brian Grogan, legal counsel and administrator of the SW Cable
Commission, will guide the Council through a pubic hearing on the franchise request and advise the Council on
the matter

MEMORANDUM
To: City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota
From: Brian Grogan
Date: December 4, 2015
Re: Competition in Cable Communications Franchising
Executive Summary
The City of Edina, Minnesota (“City”) is considering granting a competitive cable
franchise to Qwest Broadband Services, Inc., d/b/a CenturyLink (“CenturyLink”) in a service
area for which Comcast holds an existing franchise. This memorandum is intended to assist the
City Council (“Council”) in its consideration of the proposed Ordinance Granting a Competitive
Cable Franchise for Qwest Broadband Services, Inc., d/b/a CenturyLink (“CenturyLink
Franchise”) by summarizing the legal issues surrounding its terms that relate to competition in
the cable communications industry.
Details
The Southwest Suburban Cable Commission (“Commission”) adopted Resolution No.
2015-1 enclosed as Exhibit 1 finding CenturyLink to be legally, technically, and financially
qualified to provide cable communications services to residents of the City. In connection with
that finding, the Commission authorized City staff to negotiate with CenturyLink to determine if
mutually agreeable terms for such a franchise could be reached. Those negotiations are now
complete and have resulted in the proposed CenturyLink Franchise enclosed as Exhibit 2. City
staff has also prepared for the Council’s review and consideration, written “findings of fact,”
enclosed as Exhibit 3, setting forth the factual and legal basis for the grant of the CenturyLink
City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota

Franchise and the impact of relevant State and federal competitive cable franchise laws and
regulations.
Build-out
To help promote competition in and minimize unnecessary regulatory burdens on the
cable communications industry, the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, as amended by
the Cable Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 and Telecommunications Act of
1996 (the “Cable Act”) prohibits local franchising authorities from granting exclusive cable
communications franchises or unreasonably refusing to award an additional franchise to a
qualified applicant.1 The Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), which administers the
Cable Act, addressed competitive cable franchising in its 2007 Report and Order and Further
Notice of Rulemaking (generally referred to as the “621 Order” after its subject, Section 621 of
the legislation that became the Cable Act). The 621 Order explained that an unreasonable
refusal in contravention of the Cable Act could occur not only by outright denial of a franchise
application, but also by creating conditions that operate as de facto denials.
One variety of de facto denial addressed by the 621 Order is the imposition of
unreasonable build out requirements that act as a barrier for an additional cable provider to
enter a market with an existing franchise:
Build-out requirements deter market entry because a new entrant generally must
take customers from the incumbent cable operator . . . . Because the second
provider realistically cannot count on acquiring a share of the market similar to
the incumbent’s share, the second entrant cannot justify a large initial
deployment. Rather, a new entrant must begin offering service within a smaller
area to determine whether it can reasonably ensure a return on its investment
before expanding.2
1 47 U.S.C. § 541(a)(1).
2 621 Order at ¶ 35.
City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota
December 4, 2015
Page 3
The 621 Order did not prohibit all build out requirements, but instead provided examples of
unreasonable build out requirements—and of reasonable ones, such as a small initial
deployment and required expansion triggered by market success.3
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 238, which establishes statewide cable communications
requirements, also addresses build out by requiring “a provision in initial franchises identifying .
. . a schedule showing: . . . that construction throughout the authorized franchise area must be
substantially completed within five years of the granting of the franchise.”4 CenturyLink takes
the position that Minnesota’s five-year build out requirement is unreasonable under the 621
Order and is therefore preempted by the federal law. Comcast disagrees and points to the
FCC’s recent reaffirmation that the 621 Order’s rulings “were intended to apply only to the local
franchising process and not to franchising laws and decisions at the state level.”5
The CenturyLink Franchise addresses this issue by requiring a modest initial deployment
(at least 15% of the service area within two years) and linking build out requirements to
market-success benchmarks that CenturyLink must use its best efforts to meet, but granting the
City sole discretion to determine, at the end of five years, whether CenturyLink has fulfilled its
build out obligations to qualify for renewal of the franchise.6
Competitive Equity
The Minnesota cable communications statutes also contain a general level-playing-field
(i.e., “competitive equity”) provision that requires that an additional franchise include no terms
or conditions “more favorable or less burdensome than those in the existing franchise pertaining
to: (1) the area served; (2) public, educational, or governmental access requirements; or (3)

franchise fees.”7 Minnesota courts have interpreted this provision as requiring “substantially
similar”—rather than identical—terms.8 Several attempts have been made to ensure that the
CenturyLink Franchise is substantially similar to Comcast’s existing franchise: first, the Comcast
franchise served as the base document for negotiation of the CenturyLink Franchise; second,
the franchise fees required by the CenturyLink Franchise are identical to those required by
Comcast’s franchise; third, the geographic area (after complete build-out) of the CenturyLink
Franchise matches the area specified in Comcast’s franchise; and fourth, the CenturyLink
Franchise requires CenturyLink to require substantially similar—if not greater—public,
educational, and governmental access.
Findings of Fact
As previously indicated, whether the Council ultimately grants or denies the proposed
CenturyLink Franchise, it must examine all of the evidence presented to it, weigh the facts, and
apply the correct legal standards. Enclosed as Exhibit 3 are draft findings of fact generally
supporting a decision to approve the CenturyLink Franchise. With the caveat that best practices
dictate that the final findings of fact should respond to any evidence or argument against
approval, the attached findings of fact may serve as a useful starting point if the Council elects
to grant CenturyLink the franchise it seeks.

Findings of Fact

CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 2015-132
Regarding an Ordinance Granting a Competitive Cable Franchise
for Qwest Broadband Services, Inc., d/b/a CenturyLink
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, the City of Edina, Minnesota makes the following FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. In October 2014, Qwest Broadband Services, Inc., d/b/a CenturyLink, Inc.
(“CenturyLink”) requested that the City of Edina, Minnesota (“City”) initiate proceedings
to consider awarding it a franchise to provide cable communications services in the City
(“Service Territory”).
2. Comcast of Arkansas/Florida/Louisiana/Minnesota/Mississippi/Tennessee, Inc.
(“Comcast”) holds a non-exclusive cable communications franchise for the Service
Territory (“Comcast Franchise”).
3. The Comcast Franchise, which the City last renewed in August 2012, is currently the
only cable communications franchise for the Service Territory.
4. The monopoly held by a sole cable communication provider in a particular market is a
barrier to entry for additional providers, which does not have a captive market but must
instead “win” every subscriber.1
5. The presence of a second cable operator in a market improves the quality of service
offerings and drives down prices by approximately 15%.2
6. On April 9 and April 16, 2015, the City published a Notice of Intent to Franchise a Cable
Communications System (“Notice”) in the Sun Current, a newspaper of general
circulation in the Service Territory.
7. The Notice indicated that the City was soliciting franchise applications and provided
information regarding the application process, including that applications were required
to be submitted on or before April 30, 2015 and that a public hearing to hear proposals
from applicants would be held May 6, 2015 at 7:00 PM.
8. The City also mailed copies of the Notice and application materials to CenturyLink and
Comcast.3

Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed

2 Id. at ¶¶ 2, 50.
2
9. On April 30, 2015, the City received an application from CenturyLink (the “CenturyLink
Application”). The City did not receive any other applications.
10. As provided by the Notice, on May 6, 2015 the City held a public hearing during the City
Council’s regularly scheduled meeting to consider CenturyLink’s application and
qualifications.
11. On May 4, 2015, Comcast submitted a letter to the City setting forth its position
regarding the CenturyLink Application (“Comcast Letter”).4
12. The Comcast Letter expresses concern about how CenturyLink’s proposal compared to
particular provisions of the existing Comcast Franchise.5
13. The Comcast Letter also summarizes Comcast’s position regarding build-out
requirements and other proposed terms related to competition in the cable industry.6
14. During the hearing, CenturyLink presented its proposal and all other interested parties
were provided an opportunity to speak and present information to the City Council
regarding the CenturyLink Application.
15. Following the hearing, the law firm of Moss & Barnett, a Professional Association
prepared a report, dated June 1, 2015 (“Franchise Report”), reviewing and analyzing the
City’s franchising procedures, the CenturyLink Application and other information
provided by CenturyLink in connection with the May 6, 2015 public hearing.7
16. The Franchise Report identifies and discusses federal and state legal requirements
relevant to the City’s consideration of the CenturyLink Application, including laws
pertaining to franchising procedures and competition between providers.8
17. The Franchise Report also analyzes information provided by CenturyLink to establish its
qualifications to operate a cable communications franchise in the Service Territory.9
18. At its meeting on October 28, 2015, the Southwest Suburban Cable Commission
(“Commission”) considered the Franchise Report along with the information and
documentation it had received regarding the CenturyLink Application, and adopted
Resolution 2015-1 finding and concluding that the CenturyLink Application complied
with the requirements of Minn. Stat. § 238.081 and that CenturyLink is legally,

technically, and financially qualified to operate a cable communications system within
the Service Territory.
19. In Minnesota, both State and federal law govern the terms and conditions of an additional
cable communications franchise in an already-franchised service area.10
20. The franchising authority may not grant an exclusive franchise or unreasonably refuse to
award an additional competitive franchise.11
21. The franchising authority must allow an applicant reasonable time to become capable of
providing cable service to all households in the service area.12
22. The franchising authority may grant an additional franchise in an already-franchised
service area if the terms and conditions of the additional franchise are not “more
favorable or less burdensome than those in the existing franchise” regarding the area
served, the PEG access requirements, and franchise fees.13
23. The additional franchise must also include, among other things, “a schedule showing . . .
that the construction throughout the authorized franchise area must be substantially
completed within five years of the granting of the franchise.”14
24. In order to ensure that any additional franchise granted to CenturyLink would contain
substantially similar service area, PEG access requirements, and franchise fees to the
Comcast Franchise, the City used the Comcast Franchise as the base document for its
negotiations.
25. On December 15. 2015 the City Council gave notice that it intended to introduce an
ordinance granting a cable communications franchise to CenturyLink.
26. On December 15, 2015 the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 2015-26, an
Ordinance of the City of Edina Granting a Cable Communications Franchise to Qwest
Broadband Services, Inc. d/b/a CenturyLink (“CenturyLink Franchise”).
27. Copies of the CenturyLink Franchise were made available to the public, including
Comcast, on December 11, 2015
28. The CenturyLink Franchise encompasses the same Service Territory encompassed by the
Comcast Franchise.15
10 See 47 U.S.C. § 541(a)(1); Minn. Stat. §§ 238.08, .084; see also Franchise Report at 2-8.

14 Minn. Stat. § 238.84, subd. 1(m).
15 CenturyLink Franchise § 2.4; Comcast Franchise § 2.4.
4
29. The franchise fees required by the CenturyLink Franchise are identical to those required
by the Comcast Franchise. 16
30. The PEG access requirements in the CenturyLink Franchise mandate certain obligations,
such as HD channel capacity for all PEG channels that go beyond the commitments made
in the Comcast franchise.17
31. The City recognizes that CenturyLink, which currently offers no cable communications
services in the Service Territory, cannot justify a large initial deployment because it
“realistically cannot count on acquiring a share of the market similar to Comcast’s share .
. . [and] must begin offering service within a smaller area to determine whether it can
reasonably ensure a return on its investment before expanding.”18
32. The CenturyLink Franchise therefore requires CenturyLink’s initial deployment to be
capable of serving at least 15% of the living units in the Service Territory within two
years.
33. The CenturyLink Franchise permits the City to monitor CenturyLink’s progress and
compliance with build-out requirements via quarterly meeting and accelerates the build-
out schedule if CenturyLink has market success, with the goal and expectation that build-
out will be substantially complete before the CenturyLink Franchise’s five-year term
expires.19
34. During its regularly scheduled meeting on [__date__], the City Council will hold a public
hearing at which all interested parties are provided an opportunity to speak and present
information regarding the proposed CenturyLink Franchise.
WHEREAS, the City has considered these facts and the cable-related needs and interests
of the community:
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council for the City of Edina, Minnesota hereby resolves
as follows:
1. The foregoing findings are adopted as the official findings of the City Council and made
a part of the official record.
2. The City has authority to adopt an ordinance granting a cable communications franchise
to CenturyLink for the Service Territory.
3. The City may not unreasonably refuse to award a competitive cable communications
franchise to CenturyLink.

17 CenturyLink Franchise § 7; Comcast Franchise § 7.
18 621 Order at ¶ 35.
19 CenturyLink Franchise § 2.6.

4. The City and its residents will benefit from adoption of the CenturyLink Franchise, which
will introduce facilities-based competition into the cable communications market in the
Service Territory and thereby reduce costs to consumers and increase the quality and
availability of services.
5. CenturyLink is legally, technically, and financially qualified to operate a cable
communications system in the Service Territory and has complied with all application
requirements.
6. The City has complied with all franchise application requirements imposed by State and
federal law, including those identified herein or in the Franchise Report.
7. The terms and conditions of the CenturyLink Franchise pertaining to service area, a PEG
access requirement, and franchise fees are not more favorable or less burdensome than
the corollary terms of the Comcast Franchise.
8. The CenturyLink Franchise’s initial deployment requirement of 15% within two years
and 5-year timeline for substantially completing build-out provides a reasonable period of
time for CenturyLink to become capable of reaching full deployment and is therefore
consistent with both State and federal law.
9. The Ordinance Granting a Cable Communications Franchise for Qwest Broadband
Services, Inc., d/b/a CenturyLink is formally and finally adopted.
10. The City finds and concludes that its actions are appropriate, reasonable, and consistent
in all respects with the mandates set forth in Chapter 238 of Minnesota Statutes and
applicable provisions of federal law, including 47 U.S.C. § 541(a).

MEMORANDUM
To: Edina City Staff
From: Brian T. Grogan
Date: December 4, 2015
Re: Free Service to Public Buildings - CenturyLink Franchise
We provided CenturyLink with the free service to public buildings list from the Comcast
franchise. Pursuant to Section 5.2 of the CenturyLink Franchise (see below), CenturyLink is
obligated to provide free service to this same list of public buildings as long as they are a
Qualified Living Unit and not currently receiving service from another provider. Please note that
the City Hall will receive a free drop pursuant to Section 7.9 of the CenturyLink Franchise so
that the City can monitor its government access programming feed.
5.2 Free Cable Service to Public Buildings.
(a) As part of its support for PEG use of the System, the Grantee
shall provide a free drop to the Subscriber network and free Basic Cable Service
and Expanded Basic Cable Service to all of the sites listed on Exhibit A attached
hereto, and to such other public institutions as the City may reasonably request
from time to time provided such location is a Qualified Living Unit and not
currently receiving service from another provider. However, City may determine
to disconnect the other cable provider and require Grantee to meet the free
service obligation, as determined in City’s sole discretion.
(b) The Grantee is only required to provide a single free drop to the
Subscriber network, to a single outlet at a point within the location selected by
that location. However, the location may extend the drop to multiple outlets and
receive free Basic and Expanded Basic Cable Service at each outlet so long as
such extension does not result in any violations of applicable leakage standards
which the Grantee is obligated to meet. A location that wishes to install multiple
outlets may do so itself, or may contract with the Grantee to do so. Grantee shall
provide up to three (3) additional Set Top Boxes to each new location free of
charge so that the services can be received and individually tuned by each
receiver connected to the drop at a location. If an institution physically moves
locations, such institution may move existing Set Top Boxes to the new locations
with a free drop, and the moved Set Top Box will not count against the three (3)
additional Set Top Boxes. Grantee will replace and maintain Set Top Boxes it
provides or that it had provided as necessary so that locations may continue to
view the free services Grantee is required to provide. Provided such location is a
Qualified Living Unit and not currently receiving service from another provider.
However, City may determine to disconnect the other cable provider and require
Grantee to meet the free service obligation, as determined in City’s sole
discretion.

(c) Outlets of Basic and Expanded Basic Cable Service provided in
accordance with this section may be used to distribute Cable Services
throughout such buildings; provided such distribution can be accomplished
without causing Cable System disruption and general technical standards are
maintained. Such outlets may only be used for lawful purposes. Grantee agrees
that if any broadband service is required in order to receive the free service
obligation set forth in this section, Grantee will provide such broadband service
free of charge for the sole purpose of facilitating the provision of free Cable
Service required by this section. Grantee agrees that it will not offset, deduct or
reduce its payment of past, present or future Franchise Fees required as a result
of its obligation to connections or services to public facilities.

Attached hereto is CenturyLink’s response as to which public buildings are Qualified Living
Units. Please let me know if you have any questions.

SECTION 2
FRANCHISE
2.1 Grant of Franchise.
(a) The City hereby authorizes Grantee to occupy or use the City’s
Streets subject to: 1) the provisions of this non-exclusive Franchise to provide
Cable Service within the City; and 2) all applicable provisions of the City Code.
Said Franchise shall constitute both a right and an obligation to provide Cable
Services as required by the provisions of this Franchise. Nothing in this Franchise
shall be construed to prohibit Grantee from: (1) providing services other than
Cable Services to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law; or (2) challenging
any exercise of the City’s legislative or regulatory authority in an appropriate
forum. The City hereby reserves all of its rights to regulate such other services to
the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law and no provision herein shall be
construed to limit or give up any right to regulate.
(b) Grantee promises and guarantees, as a condition of exercising the
privileges granted by this Franchise, that any Affiliated Entity of the Grantee
involved in the offering of Cable Service in the City, or directly involved in the
ownership, management or operation of the Cable System in the City, shall also
comply with all obligations of this Franchise. However, the City and Grantee
acknowledge that QC will be primarily responsible for the construction and
installation of the facilities in the Rights-of-Way which will be utilized by Grantee
to provide Cable Services. So long as QC does not provide Cable Service to
Subscribers in the City, QC will not be subject to the terms and conditions
contained in this Franchise. QC’s installation and maintenance of facilities in the
Rights-of-Way is governed by applicable local, state and federal law. To the
extent Grantee constructs and installs facilities in the Rights-of-Way, such
installation will be subject to the terms and conditions contained in this
Franchise. Grantee is responsible for all provisions in this Franchise related to: 1)
its offering of Cable Services in the City; and 2) the operation of the Cable System
regardless of what entity owns or constructs the facilities used to provide the
Cable Service. The City and Grantee agree that to the extent QC violates any
applicable federal, state, or local laws, rules, and regulations, the City shall first
seek compliance directly from QC. In the event the City cannot resolve these
violations or disputes with QC, then the City may look to Grantee to ensure such
compliance. Failure by Grantee to ensure QC’s or any other Affiliate’s compliance
8
3047027v1
with Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations, shall be deemed a material breach of
this Franchise by Grantee.
2.2 Reservation of Authority. The Grantee specifically agrees to comply with
the lawful provisions of the City Code and applicable regulations of the City. Subject to
the police power exception below, in the event of a conflict between A) the lawful
provisions of the City Code or applicable regulations of the City and B) this Franchise,
the express provisions of this Franchise shall govern. Subject to express federal and
state preemption, the material terms and conditions contained in this Franchise may not
be unilaterally altered by the City through subsequent amendments to the City Code,
ordinances or any regulation of City, except in the lawful exercise of City’s police power.
Grantee acknowledges that the City may modify its regulatory policies by lawful exercise
of the City’s police powers throughout the term of this Franchise. Grantee agrees to
comply with such lawful modifications to the City Code; however, Grantee reserves all
rights it may have to challenge such modifications to the City Code whether arising in
contract or at law. The City reserves all of its rights and defenses to such challenges
whether arising in contract or at law. Nothing in this Franchise shall (A) abrogate the
right of the City to perform any public works or public improvements of any description,
(B) be construed as a waiver of any codes or ordinances of general applicability
promulgated by the City, or (C) be construed as a waiver or release of the rights of the
City in and to the Streets.
2.3 Franchise Term. This Franchise shall be in effect for a term of five (5) years
from the date of acceptance by Grantee, unless terminated sooner as hereinafter
provided. Six (6) months prior to the expiration of the initial five (5) year term, if City
determines that Grantee is in compliance with all other material terms of this Franchise
including the build out obligations set forth in this Franchise as required by Applicable
Law, the City shall have the unilateral right to extend the Franchise for an additional
term of no less than five (5) years and no more than ten (10) years.
2.4 Franchise Area. The Grantee is hereby authorized to provide Cable
Services over a Cable System within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City, including
any areas annexed by the City during the term of this Franchise. The parties
acknowledge that Grantee is not the first entrant into the wireline video market in the
City. The Grantee acknowledges that the City desires wireline competition throughout
the entire City so all residents may receive the benefits of competitive Cable Services.
Grantee aspires to provide Cable Service to all households within the City by the end of
the five year (5) term of this Franchise. Grantee agrees that its deployment of Cable
Service in the City will be geographically dispersed throughout the City, and shall be
made available to diverse residential neighborhoods of the City without discrimination.
9
3047027v1
2.5 Franchise Nonexclusive. The Franchise granted herein shall be
nonexclusive. The City specifically reserves the right to grant, at any time, such
additional franchises for a Cable System as it deems appropriate provided, however,
such additional grants shall not operate to materially modify, revoke, or terminate any
rights previously granted to Grantee other than as described in Section 17.17. The grant
of any additional franchise shall not of itself be deemed to constitute a modification,
revocation, or termination of rights previously granted to Grantee. Any additional cable
franchise grants shall comply with Minn. Stat. Section 238.08 and any other applicable
federal level playing field requirements.
2.6 Build Out.
(a) Initial build out. No later than the second anniversary of the
Effective Date of this Franchise, Grantee shall be capable of serving a minimum of
fifteen percent (15%) of the City’s households with Cable Service; provided,
however, Grantee will make its best efforts to complete such deployment within a
shorter period of time. Grantee agrees that this initial minimum build-out
commitment shall include a significant number of households below the median
income in the City. City shall, upon written request of Grantee, provide detailed
maps of such areas. Nothing in this Franchise shall restrict Grantee from serving
additional households in the City with Cable Service.
(b) Quarterly Meetings. In order to permit the Commission to monitor
and enforce the provisions of this section and other provisions of this Franchise,
the Grantee shall, upon demand, promptly make available to the Commission
maps and other documentation showing exactly where within the City the
Grantee is currently providing Cable Service. Grantee shall meet with the
Commission, not less than once quarterly, to demonstrate Grantee’s compliance
with the provisions of this section concerning the deployment of Cable Services
in the City including, by way of example, the provision of this section in which
Grantee commits that a significant portion of its initial investment will be
targeted to areas below the median income within the City, and the provisions of
this section that prohibit discrimination in the deployment of Cable Services. In
order to permit the Commission and the City to monitor and enforce the
provisions of this section and other provisions of this Franchise, the Grantee shall,
commencing April 15, 2016, and continuing throughout the term of this
Franchise, meet quarterly with the Commission and make available to the
Commission the following information:
(i) The total number of Living Units throughout the City;
10
3047027v1
(ii) The geographic area within the City where the Grantee is
capable of delivering Cable Service through either a FTTH or FTTN method
of service delivery which shall include sufficient detail to allow the City to
determine the availability of Cable Services at commercially-zoned parcels;
(iii) The actual number of Qualified Living Units capable of
receiving Cable Service from Grantee through FTTH and FTTN; and
(iv) A list of the public buildings and educational institutions
capable of receiving Cable Service from the Grantee (see list attached
hereto as Exhibit A).
(c) Additional build out based on Market Success. If, at any quarterly
meeting, including any quarterly meeting prior to the second anniversary of the
Effective Date of this Franchise as referenced in Section 2.6(a) herein, Grantee is
actually serving twenty seven and one-half percent (27.5%) of the households
capable of receiving Cable Service, then Grantee agrees the minimum build-out
commitment shall increase to include all of the households then capable of
receiving Cable Service plus an additional fifteen (15%) of the total households in
the City, which Grantee agrees to serve within two (2) years from the quarterly
meeting; provided, however, the Grantee shall make its best efforts to complete
such deployment within a shorter period of time. For example, if, at a quarterly
meeting with the Commission, Grantee shows that it is capable of serving sixty
percent (60%) of the households in the City with Cable Service and is actually
serving thirty percent (30%) of those households with Cable Service, then Grantee
will agree to serve an additional fifteen percent (15%) of the total households in
the City no later than two (2) years after that quarterly meeting (a total of
seventy-five percent (75%) of the total households). This additional build-out
based on market success shall continue until every household in the City is
served.
(d) Nondiscrimination. Grantee shall provide Cable Service under non-
discriminatory rates and reasonable terms and conditions to all Subscribers who
reside in Living Units in any location where the Grantee is capable of providing
Cable Service. Grantee shall not arbitrarily refuse to provide Cable Services to
any Person or in any location where the Grantee is capable of providing Cable
Service. Any Qualified Living Unit should also include Commercially-Zoned
Parcels. “Commercially-Zoned Parcels” mean any Street address or municipally
identified lot or parcel of real estate with a building. Grantee shall not deny
Cable Services to any group of Subscribers or potential residential Subscribers
11
3047027v1
based upon the income level of residents of the local area in which such group
resides, nor shall Grantee base decisions about construction or maintenance of its
Cable System or facilities based upon the income level of residents of the local
area in which such group resides. Grantee shall provide such service at non-
discriminatory monthly rates for residential Subscribers, consistent with
Applicable Law. Grantee shall not discriminate between or among any individuals
in the availability of Cable Service based upon income in accordance and
consistent with 47 U.S.C. Section 541(a)(3), or based upon race or ethnicity.
(e) Standard Installation. Grantee shall provide Cable Services at its
standard installation within seven (7) days of a request by any Person in a
Qualified Living Unit. A request shall be deemed made on the date of signing a
service agreement, receipt of funds by Grantee or receipt by Grantee of a verified
verbal or written request.
(f) Multiple Dwelling Units. The Grantee shall offer the individual units
of a multiple dwelling unit all Cable Services offered to other Dwelling Units in
the City. Grantee shall, upon request, individually wire units upon request of the
property owner or renter who has been given written authorization by the owner.
Such offering is conditioned upon the Grantee having legal access to said unit
and any payment (for Grantee’s reasonable costs of internal wiring) as applicable.
The City acknowledges that the Grantee cannot control the dissemination of
particular Cable Services beyond the point of demarcation at a multiple dwelling
unit.
2.7 Periodic Public Review of Franchise. Within sixty (60) Days of the third
anniversary of the Effective Date of this Franchise or third annual anniversary of any
extension of the Franchise term, the City may conduct a public review of the Franchise.
The purpose of any such review shall be to ensure, with the benefit of full opportunity
for public comment, that the Grantee continues to effectively serve the public in the
light of new developments in cable law and regulation, cable technology, cable
company performance with the requirements of this Franchise, local regulatory
environment, community needs and interests, and other such factors. Both the City and
Grantee agree to make a full and good faith effort to participate in the review. So long
as Grantee receives reasonable notice, Grantee shall participate in the review process
and shall fully cooperate. The review shall not operate to modify or change any
provision of this Franchise without mutual written consent in accordance with Section
17.6 of this Franchise.
2.8 Transfer of Ownership.
12
3047027v1
(a) No sale, transfer, assignment or “fundamental corporate change”, as
defined in Minn. Stat. § 238.083, of this Franchise shall take place until the parties
to the sale, transfer, or fundamental corporate change files a written request with
City for its approval, provided, however, that said approval shall not be required
where Grantee grants a security interest in its Franchise and assets to secure an
indebtedness.
(b) City shall have thirty (30) Days from the time of the request to reply
in writing and indicate approval of the request or its determination that a public
hearing is necessary due to potential adverse affect on Grantee’s Subscribers
resulting from the sale or transfer. Such approval or determination shall be
expressed in writing within thirty (30) Days of receipt of said request, or the
request shall be deemed approved as a matter of law.
(c) If a public hearing is deemed necessary pursuant to (b) above, such
hearing shall be commenced within thirty (30) Days of such determination and
notice of any such hearing shall be given in accordance with local law or fourteen
(14) Days prior to the hearing by publishing notice thereof once in a newspaper
of general circulation in City. The notice shall contain the date, time and place of
the hearing and shall briefly state the substance of the action to be considered by
City.
(d) Within thirty (30) Days after the closing of the public hearing, City
shall approve or deny in writing the sale or transfer request. City shall set forth in
writing with particularity its reason(s) for denying approval. City shall not
unreasonably withhold its approval.
(e) The parties to the sale or transfer of the Franchise only, without the
inclusion of the System in which substantial construction has commenced, shall
establish that the sale or transfer of only the Franchise will be in the public
interest.
(f) Any sale or transfer of stock in Grantee so as to create a new
controlling interest in the System shall be subject to the requirements of this
Section 2.8. The term “controlling interest” as used herein is not limited to
majority stock ownership, but includes actual working control in whatever
manner exercised.
(g) In no event shall a transfer or assignment of ownership or control
be approved without the transferee becoming a signatory to this Franchise and
13
3047027v1
assuming all rights and obligations thereunder, and assuming all other rights and
obligations of the transferor to the City.
(h) In the event of any proposed sale or assignment pursuant to
paragraph (a) of this section, City shall have the right of first refusal of any bona
fide offer to purchase only the Cable System. Bona fide offer, as used in this
section, means an offer received by the Grantee which it intends to accept subject
to City’s rights under this section. This written offer must be conveyed to City
along with the Grantee’s written acceptance of the offer contingent upon the
rights of City provided for in this section. City shall be deemed to have waived its
rights under this paragraph (h) in the following circumstances:
(i) If it does not indicate to Grantee in writing, within thirty (30)
Days of notice of a proposed sale or assignment, its intention to exercise
its right of purchase; or
(ii) It approves the assignment or sale of the Franchise as
provided within this section
(i) A transfer of the Franchise shall not include a transfer of ownership
or other interest in Grantee to the parent of Grantee or to another Affiliate of
Grantee; transfer of an interest in the Franchise or the rights held by Grantee
under the Franchise to the parent of Grantee or to another Affiliate of Grantee;
any action which is the result of a merger of the parent of Grantee; or any action
which is the result of a merger of another Affiliate of Grantee. Nothing in this
Section 2.8 (i) shall be read to serve as a waiver of Grantee’s obligation to obtain
the City’s advance written consent to any proposed transfer that constitutes a
change in the “controlling interest” of the Grantee as set forth in 2.8 (f) herein
and Minn. Stat. Section 238.083.
2.9 Expiration. Upon expiration of the Franchise, the City shall have the right at
its own election and subject to Grantee’s rights under Section 626 of the Cable Act to:
(a) extend the Franchise, though nothing in this provision shall be
construed to require such extension;
(b) renew the Franchise, in accordance with Applicable Laws;
(c) invite additional franchise applications or proposals;
(d) terminate the Franchise subject to any rights Grantee has under
Section 626 of the Cable Act; or
14
3047027v1
(e) take such other action as the City deems appropriate.
2.10 Right to Require Removal of Property. At the expiration of the term for
which the Franchise is granted provided no renewal is granted, or upon its forfeiture or
revocation as provided for herein, the City shall have the right to require Grantee to
remove at Grantee’s own expense all or any part of the Cable System, used exclusively
to provide Cable Service, from all Streets and public ways within the Franchise Area
within a reasonable time. If Grantee fails to do so, the City may perform the work and
collect the cost thereof from Grantee.
2.11 Continuity of Service Mandatory. It shall be the right of all Subscribers to
receive all available services insofar as their financial and other obligations to Grantee
are honored. In the event that Grantee elects to overbuild, rebuild, modify, or sell the
system, or the City revokes or fails to renew the Franchise, Grantee shall make its best
effort to ensure that all Subscribers receive continuous uninterrupted service, regardless
of the circumstances, during the lifetime of the Franchise. In the event of expiration,
purchase, lease-purchase, condemnation, acquisition, taking over or holding of plant
and equipment, sale, lease, or other transfer to any other Person, including any other
grantee of a cable communications franchise, the current Grantee shall cooperate fully
to operate the system in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Franchise for
a temporary period sufficient in length to maintain continuity of service to all
Subscribers.

and along the Streets within the City such lines, cables, conductors, ducts,
conduits, vaults, manholes, amplifiers, appliances, pedestals, attachments and
other property and equipment as are necessary and appurtenant to the operation
of a Cable System within the City. Without limiting the foregoing and subject to
Section 2.1(b) herein, Grantee expressly agrees that it will construct, operate and
maintain its Cable System in compliance with, and subject to, the requirements of
the City Code, including by way of example and not limitation, those
requirements governing the placement of Grantee’s Cable System; and with other
applicable City Codes, and will obtain and maintain all permits and bonds
required by the City Code in addition to those required in this Franchise.
(b) All wires, conduits, cable and other property and facilities of
Grantee shall be so located, constructed, installed and maintained as not to
endanger or unnecessarily interfere with the usual and customary trade, traffic
and travel upon, or other use of, the Streets of City. Grantee shall keep and
maintain all of its property in good condition, order and repair so that the same
shall not menace or endanger the life or property of any Person. Grantee shall
keep accurate maps and records of all of its wires, conduits, cables and other
property and facilities located, constructed and maintained in the City.
(c) All wires, conduits, cables and other property and facilities of
Grantee, shall be constructed and installed in an orderly and workmanlike

3.2 Construction or Alteration. Subject to Section 2.1(b) herein, Grantee shall
in all cases comply with the City Code, City resolutions and City regulations regarding
the acquisition of permits and/or such other items as may be reasonably required in
order to construct, alter or maintain the Cable System. Grantee shall, upon request,
provide information to the City regarding its progress in completing or altering the
Cable System.
16
3047027v1
3.3 Non-Interference. Grantee shall exert its best efforts to construct and
maintain a Cable System so as not to interfere with other use of Streets. Grantee shall,
where possible in the case of above ground lines, make use of existing poles and other
facilities available to Grantee. When residents receiving underground service or who will
be receiving underground service will be affected by proposed construction or
alteration, Grantee shall provide such notice as set forth in the permit or in City Code of
the same to such affected residents.
3.4 Consistency with Designated Use. Notwithstanding the above grant to
use Streets, no Street shall be used by Grantee if the City, in its sole opinion, determines
that such use is inconsistent with the terms, conditions or provisions by which such
Street was created or dedicated, or presently used under Applicable Laws.
3.5 Undergrounding. Grantee shall place underground all of its transmission
lines which are located or are to be located above or within the Streets of the City in the
following cases:
(a) all other existing utilities are required to be placed underground by
statute, resolution, policy or other Applicable Law;
(b) Grantee is unable to get pole clearance;
(c) underground easements are obtained from developers of new
residential areas; or
(d) utilities are overhead but residents prefer underground (service
provided at cost).
If an ordinance is passed which involves placing underground certain utilities
including Grantee’s cable plant which is then located overhead, Grantee shall participate
in such underground project and shall remove poles, cables and overhead wires if
requested to do so and place facilities underground. Nothing herein shall mandate that
City provide reimbursement to Grantee for the costs of such relocation and removal.
However, if the City makes available funds for the cost of placing facilities underground,
nothing herein shall preclude the Grantee from participating in such funding to the
extent consistent with the City Code or Applicable Laws.
Grantee shall use conduit or its functional equivalent to the greatest extent
possible for undergrounding, except for Drops from pedestals to Subscribers’ homes
and for cable on other private property where the owner requests that conduit not be
used. Cable and conduit shall be utilized which meets the highest industry standards for
17
3047027v1
electronic performance and resistance to interference or damage from environmental
factors. Grantee shall use, in conjunction with other utility companies or providers,
common trenches for underground construction wherever available.
3.6 Maintenance and Restoration.

area or public improvement by Grantee, Grantee shall, at its own cost and
expense and in accordance with the requirements of Applicable Law, restore such
Street, public way, paved area or public improvement to substantially the same
condition as existed before the work involving such disturbance took place. All
restoration occurring in private easements or on other private property shall be
performed in accordance with the City Code. Grantee shall perform all restoration
work within a reasonable time and with due regard to seasonal working
conditions. If Grantee fails, neglects or refuses to make restorations as required
under this section, then the City may do such work or cause it to be done, and
the cost thereof to the City shall be paid by Grantee. If Grantee causes any
damage to private property in the process of restoring facilities, Grantee shall
repair such damage.
(b) Maintenance. Grantee shall maintain all above ground
improvements that it places on City right-of-way pursuant to the City Code and
any permit issued by the City. In order to avoid interference with the City’s ability
to maintain the right-of-way, Grantee shall provide such clearance as is required
by the City Code and any permit issued by the City. If Grantee fails to comply
with this provision and by its failure property is damaged, Grantee shall be
responsible for all damages caused thereby.
(c) Disputes. In any dispute over the adequacy of restoration or
maintenance relative to this section, final determination shall be the prerogative
of the City, Department of Public Works and consistent with the City Code and
any permit issued by the City.
3.7 Work on Private Property. Grantee, with the consent of property owners,
shall have the authority, pursuant to the City Code, to trim trees upon and overhanging
Streets, alleys, sidewalks, and public ways so as to prevent the branches of such trees
from coming in contact with the wires and cables of Grantee, except that at the option
of the City, such trimming may be done by it or under its supervision and direction at
the reasonable expense of Grantee.
3.8 Relocation.
18
3047027v1
(a) City Property. If, during the term of the Franchise, the City or any
government entity elects or requires a third party to alter, repair, realign,
abandon, improve, vacate, reroute or change the grade of any Street, public way
or other public property; or to construct, maintain or repair any public
improvement; or to replace, repair install, maintain, or otherwise alter any cable,
wire conduit, pipe, line, pole, wire-holding structure, structure, or other facility,
including a facility used for the provision of utility or other services or
transportation of drainage, sewage or other liquids, for any public purpose,
Grantee shall, upon request, except as otherwise hereinafter provided, at its sole
expense remove or relocate as necessary its poles, wires, cables, underground
conduits, vaults, pedestals, manholes and any other facilities which it has
installed. Nothing herein shall mandate that City provide reimbursement to
Grantee for the costs of such relocation and removal. However, if the City makes
available funds for the cost of placing facilities underground, nothing herein shall
preclude the Grantee from participating in such funding to the extent consistent
with the City Code or Applicable Laws.
(b) Utilities and Other Franchisees. If, during the term of the Franchise,
another entity which holds a franchise or any utility requests Grantee to remove
or relocate such facilities to accommodate the construction, maintenance or
repair of the requesting party’s facilities, or their more efficient use, or to “make
ready” the requesting party’s facilities for use by others, or because Grantee is
using a facility which the requesting party has a right or duty to remove, Grantee
shall do so. The companies involved may decide among themselves who is to
bear the cost of removal or relocation, pursuant to City Code, and provided that
the City shall not be liable for such costs.
(c) Notice to Remove or Relocate. Any Person requesting Grantee to
remove or relocate its facilities shall give Grantee no less than forty-five (45) Days’
advance written notice to Grantee advising Grantee of the date or dates removal
or relocation is to be undertaken; provided, that no advance written notice shall
be required in emergencies or in cases where public health and safety or property
is endangered.
(d) Failure by Grantee to Remove or Relocate. If Grantee fails, neglects
or refuses to remove or relocate its facilities as directed by the City; or in
emergencies or where public health and safety or property is endangered, the
City may do such work or cause it to be done, and the cost thereof to the City
shall be paid by Grantee. If Grantee fails, neglects or refuses to remove or
relocate its facilities as directed by another franchisee or utility, that franchisee or
19
3047027v1
utility may do such work or cause it to be done, and if Grantee would have been
liable for the cost of performing such work, the cost thereof to the party
performing the work or having the work performed shall be paid by Grantee.
(e) Procedure for Removal of Cable. Grantee shall not remove any
underground cable or conduit which requires trenching or other opening of the
Streets along the extension of cable to be removed, except as hereinafter
provided. Grantee may remove any underground cable from the Streets which
has been installed in such a manner that it can be removed without trenching or
other opening of the Streets along the extension of cable to be removed. Subject
to Applicable Law, Grantee shall remove, at its sole cost and expense, any
underground cable or conduit by trenching or opening of the Streets along the
extension thereof or otherwise which is ordered to be removed by the City based
upon a determination, in the sole discretion of the City, that removal is required
in order to eliminate or prevent a hazardous condition. Underground cable and
conduit in the Streets which is not removed shall be deemed abandoned and title
thereto shall be vested in the City.
(f) Movement of Buildings. Grantee shall, upon request by any Person
holding a building moving permit, franchise or other approval issued by the City,
temporarily remove, raise or lower its wire to permit the movement of buildings.
The expense of such removal, raising or lowering shall be paid by the Person
requesting same, and Grantee shall be authorized to require such payment in
advance. The City shall require all building movers to provide not less than fifteen
(15) Days’ notice to the cable company to arrange for such temporary wire
changes.
SECTION 4
REMOVAL OR ABANDONMENT OF SYSTEM
4.1 Removal of Cable System. In the event that: (l) the use of the Cable
System is discontinued for any reason for a continuous period of twelve (12) months; or
(2) the Cable System has been installed in a Street without complying with the
requirements of this Franchise, Grantee, at its expense shall, at the demand of the City
remove promptly from the Streets all of the Cable System, used only to provide Cable
Service, other than any which the City may permit to be abandoned in place. In the
event of any such removal Grantee shall promptly restore to a condition as nearly as
possible to its prior condition the Street or other public places in the City from which the
System has been removed.
20
3047027v1
4.2 Abandonment of Cable System. In the event of Grantee’s abandonment
of the Cable System, used only to provide Cable Service, City shall have the right to
require Grantee to conform to the state right-of-way rules, Minn. Rules, Chapter 7819.
The Cable System to be abandoned in place shall be abandoned in the manner
prescribed by the City. Grantee may not abandon any portion of the System without
having first given three (3) months written notice to the City. Grantee may not abandon
any portion of the System without compensating the City for damages resulting from
the abandonment.
4.3 Removal after Abandonment or Termination. If Grantee has failed to
commence removal of System, used only to provide Cable Service, or such part thereof
as was designated by City, within thirty (30) days after written notice of City’s demand
for removal consistent with Minn. Rules, Ch. 7819, is given, or if Grantee has failed to
complete such removal within twelve (12) months after written notice of City’s demand
for removal is given, City shall have the right to apply funds secured by the letter of
credit and performance bond toward removal and/or declare all right, title, and interest
to the Cable System to be in City with all rights of ownership including, but not limited
to, the right to operate the Cable System or transfer the Cable System to another for
operation by it.
4.4 City Options for Failure to Remove Cable System. If Grantee has failed

(a) Declare all right, title and interest to the System, used only to
provide Cable Service, to be in the City or its designee with all rights of ownership
including, but not limited to, the right to operate the System or transfer the
System to another for operation by it; or
(b) Declare the System abandoned and cause the System, if used only
to provide Cable Service, or such part thereof as the City shall designate, to be
removed at no cost to the City. The cost of said removal shall be recoverable
from the security fund, indemnity and penalty section provided for in this
Franchise or from Grantee directly.
(c) Upon termination of service to any Subscriber, Grantee shall
promptly remove all its facilities and equipment from within the dwelling of a
Subscriber who owns such dwelling upon his or her written request, except as
provided by Applicable Law. Such Subscribers shall be responsible for any costs
incurred by Grantee in removing the facilities and equipment.
21
3047027v1
4.5 System Construction and Equipment Standards. The Cable System shall
be installed and maintained in accordance with standard good engineering practices
and shall conform, when applicable, with the National Electrical Safety Code, the
National Electrical Code and the FCC’s Rules and Regulations.
4.6 System Maps and Layout. To the extent not otherwise provided for in
Section 2.6(b), Grantee, or an affiliate, shall maintain complete and accurate records,
maps and diagrams of the location of all its facilities used to provide Cable Services and
the Cable System maintained by QC in the Streets and make them available to the City
upon request.
SECTION 5
SYSTEM DESIGN AND CAPACITY
5.1 Availability of Signals and Equipment.
(a) The Cable System shall have a bandwidth capable of providing the
equivalent of a typical 750 MHz Cable System. Recognizing that the City has
limited authority under federal law to designate the technical method by which
Grantee provides Cable Service, as of the Effective Date of this Franchise, Grantee
provides its Cable Service utilizing two (2) different methods. First, using a PON
platform, the Grantee provides Cable Service to some Qualified Living Units by
connecting fiber directly to the household ("FTTP"). Second, the Grantee
provides Cable Service to some Qualified Living Units by deploying fiber further
into the neighborhoods and using the existing copper infrastructure to increase
broadband speeds ("FTTN"). Generally speaking, when Grantee deploys FTTN,
households located within four thousand (4,000) cable feet of a remote terminal
shall receive broadband speeds capable of providing Cable Service. In both the
FTTP and FTTN footprint, a household receiving a minimum of 25 Mbps
downstream will generally be capable of receiving Cable Service after Grantee
performs certain network grooming and conditioning.
(b) The Grantee shall comply with all FCC regulations regarding
carriage of digital and HDTV transmissions.
(c) Grantee agrees to maintain the Cable System in a manner
consistent with, or in excess of the specifications in Section 5.1 (a) and (b)
throughout the term of the Franchise with sufficient capability and technical
quality to enable the implementation and performance of all the requirements of
this Franchise, including the exhibits hereto, and in a manner which meets or
22
3047027v1
exceeds FCC technical quality standards at 47 C.F.R. § 76 Subpart K, regardless of
the particular format in which a signal is transmitted.
5.2 Free Cable Service to Public Buildings.
(a) As part of its support for PEG use of the System, the Grantee shall
provide a free drop to the Subscriber network and free Basic Cable Service and
Expanded Basic Cable Service to all of the sites listed on Exhibit A attached
hereto, and to such other public institutions as the City may reasonably request
from time to time provided such location is a Qualified Living Unit and not
currently receiving service from another provider. However, City may determine
to disconnect the other cable provider and require Grantee to meet the free
service obligation, as determined in City’s sole discretion.
(b) The Grantee is only required to provide a single free drop to the
Subscriber network, to a single outlet at a point within the location selected by
that location. However, the location may extend the drop to multiple outlets and
receive free Basic and Expanded Basic Cable Service at each outlet so long as
such extension does not result in any violations of applicable leakage standards
which the Grantee is obligated to meet. A location that wishes to install multiple
outlets may do so itself, or may contract with the Grantee to do so. Grantee shall
provide up to three (3) additional Set Top Boxes to each new location free of
charge so that the services can be received and individually tuned by each
receiver connected to the drop at a location. If an institution physically moves
locations, such institution may move existing Set Top Boxes to the new locations
with a free drop, and the moved Set Top Box will not count against the three (3)
additional Set Top Boxes. Grantee will replace and maintain Set Top Boxes it
provides or that it had provided as necessary so that locations may continue to
view the free services Grantee is required to provide. Provided such location is a
Qualified Living Unit and not currently receiving service from another provider.
However, City may determine to disconnect the other cable provider and require
Grantee to meet the free service obligation, as determined in City’s sole
discretion.
(c) Outlets of Basic and Expanded Basic Cable Service provided in
accordance with this section may be used to distribute Cable Services throughout
such buildings; provided such distribution can be accomplished without causing
Cable System disruption and general technical standards are maintained. Such
outlets may only be used for lawful purposes. Grantee agrees that if any
broadband service is required in order to receive the free service obligation set
23
3047027v1
forth in this section, Grantee will provide such broadband service free of charge
for the sole purpose of facilitating the provision of free Cable Service required by
this section. Grantee agrees that it will not offset, deduct or reduce its payment
of past, present or future Franchise Fees required as a result of its obligation to
connections or services to public facilities.
5.3 System Specifications.
(a) System Maintenance. In all its construction and service provision
activities, Grantee shall meet or exceed the construction, technical performance,
extension and service requirements set forth in this Franchise.
(b) Emergency Alert Capability. At all times during the term of this
Franchise, Grantee shall provide and maintain an Emergency Alert System (EAS)
consistent with applicable federal law and regulations including 47 C.F.R., Part 11,
and any Minnesota State Emergency Alert System requirements. The City may
identify authorized emergency officials for activating the EAS consistent with the
Minnesota State Emergency Statewide Plan (“EAS Plan”). The City may also
develop a local plan containing methods of EAS message distribution, subject to
Applicable Laws and the EAS Plan. Nothing in this section is intended to expand
Grantee’s obligations beyond that which is required by the EAS Plan and
Applicable Law.
(c) Standby Power. Grantee shall provide standby power generating
capacity at the Cable System control center. Grantee shall maintain standby
power system supplies, rated at least at two (2) hours’ duration, throughout the
trunk and distribution networks. In addition, Grantee shall have in place
throughout the Franchise term a plan, and all resources necessary for
implementation of the plan, for dealing with outages of more than two (2) hours.
(d) Technical Standards. The technical standards used in the operation
of the Cable System shall comply, at minimum, with the applicable technical
standards promulgated by the FCC relating to Cable Systems pursuant to Title 47,
Section 76, Subpart K of the Code of Federal Regulations, as may be amended or
modified from time to time, which regulations are expressly incorporated herein
by reference. The Cable System shall be installed and maintained in accordance
with standard good engineering practices and shall conform with the National
Electrical Safety Code and all other Applicable Laws governing the construction of
the Cable System.
24
3047027v1
5.4 Performance Testing. Grantee shall perform all applicable system tests at
the intervals required by the FCC, and all other tests reasonably necessary to determine
compliance with technical standards required by this Franchise. These tests shall
include, at a minimum:
(a) Initial proof of performance for any construction;
(b) Semi-annual compliance tests;
(c) Tests in response to Subscriber complaints;
(d) Tests requested by the City to demonstrate franchise compliance;
and
(e) Written records of all system test results performed by or for
Grantee shall be maintained, and shall be available for City inspection upon
request.
5.5 Special Testing.
(a) Throughout the term of this Franchise, City shall have the right to
inspect all construction or installation work performed pursuant to the provisions
of the Franchise. In addition, City may require special testing of a location or
locations within the System if there is a particular matter of controversy or
unresolved complaints regarding such construction or installation work or
pertaining to such location(s). Demand for such special tests may be made on
the basis of complaints received or other evidence indicating an unresolved
controversy or noncompliance. Such tests shall be limited to the particular
matter in controversy or unresolved complaints. City shall endeavor to so
arrange its request for such special testing so as to minimize hardship or
inconvenience to Grantee or to the Subscribers caused by such testing.
(b) Before ordering such tests, Grantee shall be afforded thirty (30)
Days following receipt of written notice to investigate and, if necessary, correct
problems or complaints upon which tests were ordered. City shall meet with
Grantee prior to requiring special tests to discuss the need for such and, if
possible, visually inspect those locations which are the focus of concern. If, after
such meetings and inspections, City wishes to commence special tests and the
thirty (30) Days have elapsed without correction of the matter in controversy or
unresolved complaints, the tests shall be conducted at Grantee’s expense by
Grantee’s qualified engineer. The City shall have a right to participate in such
25
3047027v1
testing by having an engineer of City’s choosing, and at City’s expense, observe
and monitor said testing.
SECTION 6
PROGRAMMING AND SERVICES
6.1 Categories of Programming Service. Grantee shall provide video
programming services in at least the following broad categories:
Local Broadcast (subject to federal carriage requirements)

6.2 Changes in Programming Services. Grantee shall not delete or so limit as
to effectively delete any broad category of programming within its control without the
City’s consent. Further, Grantee shall provide at least thirty (30) Days’ prior written notice
to Subscribers and to the City of Grantee’s request to effectively delete any broad
category of programming or any Channel within its control, including all proposed
changes in bandwidth or Channel allocation and any assignments including any new
equipment requirements that may occur as a result of these changes.
6.3 Parental Control Device. Upon request by any Subscriber, Grantee shall
make available for sale or lease a parental control or lockout device that will enable the
Subscriber to block all access to any and all Channels without affecting those not
blocked. Grantee shall inform Subscribers of the availability of the lockout device at the
time of original subscription and annually thereafter.
6.4 FCC Reports. The results of any tests required to be filed by Grantee with
the FCC shall also be copied to City within ten (10) Days of the conduct of the date of
the tests.
26
3047027v1
6.5 Annexation. Unless otherwise provided by Applicable Law, including the
City Code, upon the annexation of any additional land area by City, the annexed area
shall thereafter be subject to all the terms of this Franchise upon sixty (60) Days written
notification to Grantee of the annexation by City. Unless otherwise required by
Applicable Laws, nothing herein shall require the Grantee to expand its Cable System to
serve, or to offer Cable Service to any area annexed by the City if such area is then
served by another Wireline MVPD franchised to provide multichannel video
programming.
6.6 Line Extension. Grantee shall not have a line extension obligation until the
first date by which Grantee is providing Cable Service to more than fifty percent (50%)
of all Subscribers receiving facilities based Cable Service from both the Grantee and any
other provider(s) of Cable Service within the City. At that time, the City, in its reasonable
discretion and after meeting with Grantee, shall determine the timeframe to complete
deployment to the remaining households in the City, including a density requirement
that is the same or similar to the requirement of the incumbent franchised cable
operator.
6.7 Nonvoice Return Capability. Grantee is required to use cable and
associated electronics having the technical capacity for nonvoice return
communications.
SECTION 7
PUBLIC, EDUCATIONAL AND GOVERNMENTAL ACCESS
7.1 Number of PEG Access Channels. Within one hundred eighty (180) days
of the Effective Date, Grantee will make available three (3) PEG Access Channels.
7.2 Digital and High Definition PEG Carriage Requirements. While the
parties recognize that while the primary signals of local broadcast stations are simulcast
in standard definition (“SD”) and high definition (“HD”) formats, the Grantee’s obligation
with respect to carriage of PEG in HD and SD formats shall be as follows:
(a) Grantee agrees to carry all PEG Access Channels in HD provided the
entity originating the signal provides the Grantee an HD signal. Further, Grantee
will downconvert any such signal to an SD format so that Subscribers who choose
not to subscribe to an HD package may receive said signal in an SD format.
(b) Grantee is not required to convert a signal delivered in a lower
quality format to a higher quality format. The City shall have no obligation to
provide a signal to the Grantee in a HD format.
27
3047027v1
(c) All PEG Access Channels must be receivable by Subscribers without
special expense in addition to the expense paid to receive commercial services
the Subscriber receives. 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
Access Channels at that receiver, without additional charges or equipment. By
agreeing to make PEG available in HD format, Grantee is not agreeing to provide
free HD equipment to Subscribers including complimentary municipal and
educational accounts, or to modify its equipment or pricing policies in any
manner. City acknowledges that not every Subscriber may be able to view HD
PEG programming (for example, because they do not have an HDTV in their
home or have chosen not to take an HD-capable receiving device from Grantee
or other equipment provider) or on every television in the home.
(d) The Grantee, upon request of the City, will provide technical
assistance or diagnostic services to determine whether or not the problem with
the PEG signals is the result of matters for which the Grantee is responsible, and if
so the Grantee will take prompt corrective actions.
(e) The Grantee will provide any PEG Access Channels on the Basic
Cable Service tier throughout the life of the Franchise, or if there is no Basic Cable
Service tier, shall provide the PEG Access Channels to any Person who subscribes
to any level of cable video programming service, and otherwise in accordance
with Applicable Laws. To the extent technically feasible, Grantee shall, upon
request from the City, provide City with quarterly viewership numbers for each of
the PEG Access Channels carried on Grantee’s Cable System.
(f) Grantee shall facilitate carriage of PEG Access Channel program
listings on its interactive programming guide, at no cost to the City provided that
the City shall hold Grantee harmless should the City or PEG providers fail to
provide correct or timely information to the interactive guide programmers.
(g) If Channels are selected through menu systems, the PEG Access
Channels shall be displayed in the same manner as other Channels, and with
equivalent information regarding the programming on the Channel. To the
extent that any menu system is controlled by a third party, Grantee shall ensure
that the Grantee will provide PEG listings on that menu system, if it is provided
with the programming information by the City.
28
3047027v1
7.3 Control of PEG Channels. The control and administration of the Access
Channels shall rest with the City and the City may delegate, from time to time over the
term of this Franchise, such control and administration to various entities as determined
in City’s sole discretion.
7.4 Transmission of Access Channels. Access Channels may be used for
transmission of non-video signals in compliance with Applicable Laws. This may include
downstream transmission of data using a protocol such as TCP/IP or current industry
standards. Should Grantee develop the capability to provide bi-directional data
transmission, spectrum capacity shall be sufficient to allow Subscribers to transmit data
to PEG facilities.
7.5 Access Channel Locations.
(a) Grantee shall provide the City’s government access channel in both
HD and SD. The government access channel will be located on Channel 236 and
shall at all times be located in the Channel neighborhood offering news/public
affairs programming on Grantee’s Cable System channel lineup. The government
access channel shall have video and audio signal strength, signal quality, and
functionality equivalent to the highest quality broadcast and commercial
cable/satellite Channels carried by the Grantee on its Cable System.
(i) Grantee shall carry the remaining public and educational
Channels (PE Channels) on Channel 26 in its Channel lineup as a means to
provide ease of access by Subscribers to the group of PE Channels placed
consecutively on Channel numbers significantly higher in the Channel
lineup. This use of one (1) Channel to access the group of PE Channels
required under this Franchise shall be referred to as a “Mosaic Channel.”
The Mosaic Channel shall display the group of PE Channels on a single
Channel screen and serve as a navigation tool for Subscribers. The Mosaic
Channel shall allow Subscribers to navigate directly from Channel 26 to
any of the PE Channels requested in a single operation without any
intermediate steps to a chosen PE Channel in the group.
(ii) Grantee shall use Channel 26 as a Mosaic Channel to access
the PE Channels required under this Franchise. The group of consecutive
PE channels residing at higher Channel numbers will retain Channel names
and identity for marketing purposes, unless approved by the City. Grantee
shall not include any other programming or Channels on the Commission’s
PE Mosaic Channel unless the City provides advance written consent.
29
3047027v1
(iii) When using the Mosaic Channel, Subscribers shall be
directed to the requested PE Channel in an HD format if appropriate to the
Subscriber’s level of service; otherwise, the Subscriber shall be directed to
the SD PE Channel. The Mosaic Channel mechanism shall allow Subscribers
to navigate directly from Channel 26 to the requested Commission Access
Channels which shall be located on Channel numbers 8110 (educational
access) and 8111 (public access).
(iv) Grantee shall consult with the City (or City’s designee) to
determine the PE Channel information displayed on the Mosaic Channel.
However, the information shall have video and audio signal strength,
signal quality, and functionality equivalent to the highest quality broadcast
and commercial cable/satellite channels carried by the Grantee on its
Cable System in a Mosaic format.
(v) The Mosaic Channel assigned for use by the City shall be
used to navigate to the group of City PE Channels and will be placed near
other PEG Mosaic Channels
(vi) If through technology changes or innovation in the future,
the Grantee discontinues the use of Mosaic presentations, then Grantee
shall provide the PE Channels to Subscribers at equivalent visual and audio
quality and equivalent functionality as Grantee delivers the highest quality
broadcast stations and highest quality commercial cable/satellite channels
on its Cable System with no degradation.
(b) The Grantee shall not charge for use of the PEG Access Channels,
equipment, facilities or services.
(c) In no event shall any Access Channel reallocations be made prior to
ninety (90) Days written notice to the City by Grantee, except for circumstances
beyond Grantee’s reasonable control. The Access Channels will be located within
reasonable proximity to other commercial video or broadcast Channels, excluding
pay-per-view programming offered by Grantee in the City.
(d) Grantee agrees not to encrypt the Access Channels differently than
other commercial Channels available on the Cable System.
(e) In conjunction with any occurrence of any Access Channel(s)
relocation, as may be permitted by this Franchise, Grantee shall provide a
minimum of Nine Thousand Dollars ($9,000) of in-kind air time per event on
30
3047027v1
advertiser supported Channels (e.g. USA, TNT, TBS, Discovery Channel, or other
comparable Channels) for the purpose of airing City’s, or its designees’, pre-
produced thirty (30) second announcement explaining the change in location, or
if Grantee does not have air time capabilities a mutually agreed equivalent shall
be provided.
7.6 Navigation to Access Channels. Grantee agrees that if it utilizes a visual
interface under its control on its Cable System for all Channels, the Access Channels
shall be treated in a non-discriminatory fashion consistent with Applicable Laws so that
Subscribers will have ready access to Access Channels. This shall not be construed to
require Grantee to pay any third party fees that may result from this obligation.
7.7 Ownership of Access Channels. Grantee does not relinquish its ownership
of or ultimate right of control over a Channel by designating it for PEG use. A PEG
access user – whether an individual, educational or governmental user – acquires no
property or other interest by virtue of the use of a Channel position so designated.
Grantee shall not exercise editorial control over any public, educational, or
governmental use of a Channel position, except Grantee may refuse to transmit any
public access program or portion of a public access program that contains obscenity,
indecency, or nudity in violation of Applicable Law.
7.8 Noncommercial Use of PEG. Permitted noncommercial uses of the Access
Channels shall include by way of example and not limitation: (1) the identification of
financial supporters similar to what is provided on public broadcasting stations; or (2)
the solicitation of financial support for the provision of PEG programming by the City or
third party users for charitable, educational or governmental purposes; or (3)
programming offered by accredited, non-profit, educational institutions which may, for
example, offer telecourses over a Access Channel.
7.9 Dedicated Fiber Return Lines.
(a) Grantee shall provide and maintain, free of charge with no transport
costs or other fees or costs imposed, a direct fiber connection and necessary
equipment to transmit PEG programming from the City Hall control room racks
to the Grantee headend (“PEG Origination Connection”).
(b) In addition to the PEG Origination Connection, the Grantee shall,
free of charge, construct a direct connection and necessary equipment to the
programming origination site located at Edina City Hall where PEG programming
is originated by the Commission.
31
3047027v1
(c) Grantee shall at all times provide and maintain, free of charge, a
drop to the Cable System, required Set-Top Box and free Basic Cable Service and
Expanded Basic Service to the City Hall and the location from which PEG
programming is originated (currently the playback facility at the Edina City Hall),
to allow these facilities to view (live) the downstream PEG programming Channels
on Grantee’s Cable System so they can monitor the PEG signals and make certain
that PEG programming is being properly received (picture and sound) by
Subscribers.
7.10 Interconnection. To the extent technically feasible and permitted under
Applicable Laws, Grantee will allow necessary interconnection with any newly
constructed City and school fiber for noncommercial programming to be promoted and
administered by the City as allowed under Applicable Laws and at no additional cost to
the City or schools. This may be accomplished through a patch panel or other similar
facility and each party will be responsible for the fiber on their respective sides of the
demarcation point. Grantee reserves its right to review on a case-by-case basis the
technical feasibility of the proposed interconnection. Based on this review Grantee may
condition the interconnection on the reasonable reimbursement of Grantee’s
incremental costs, with no markup for profit, to recoup Grantee’s construction costs
only. In no event will Grantee impose any type of recurring fee for said interconnection.
7.11 Ancillary Equipment. Any ancillary equipment operated by Grantee for
the benefit of PEG Access Channels on Grantee’s fiber paths or Cable System, whether
referred to switchers, routers or other equipment, will be maintained by Grantee, at no
cost to the City or schools for the life of the Franchise. Grantee is responsible for any
ancillary equipment on its side of the demarcation point and the City or school is
responsible for all other production/playback equipment.
7.12 Future Fiber Return Lines for PEG. At such time that the City determines:
(a) that the City desires the capacity to allow Subscribers in the City to
receive PEG programming (video or character generated) which may originate
from schools, City facilities, other government facilities or other designated
facilities (other than those indicated in paragraph 10); or
(b) that the City desires to establish or change a location from which
PEG programming is originated; or
(c) that the City desires to upgrade the Connection to Grantee from an
existing signal point of origination,
32
3047027v1
the City will give Grantee written notice detailing the point of origination and the
capability sought by the City. Grantee agrees to submit a cost estimate to implement
the City’s plan within a reasonable period of time but not later than September 1st in the
year preceding the request for any costs exceeding Twenty-five Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($25,000). The cost estimate will be on a time and materials basis with no
additional markup. After an agreement to reimburse Grantee for Grantee’s out of
pocket time and material costs, Grantee will implement any necessary Cable System
changes within a reasonable period of time. Nothing herein prevents the City, or a
private contractor retained by the City, from constructing said return fiber.
7.13 Access Channel Carriage.
(a) Any and all costs associated with any modification of the Access
Channels or signals after the Access Channels/signals leave the City’s designated
playback facilities, or any designated playback center authorized by the City shall
be borne entirely by Grantee. Grantee shall not cause any programming to
override PEG programming on any Access Channel, except by oral or written
permission from the City, with the exception of emergency alert signals.
(b) The City may request and Grantee shall provide an additional
Access Channel when the cumulative time on all the existing Access Channels
combined meets the following standard: whenever one of the Access Channels in
use during eighty percent (80%) of the weekdays, Monday through Friday, for
eighty percent (80%) of the time during a consecutive three (3) hour period for
six (6) weeks running, and there is a demand for use of an additional Channel for
the same purpose, the Grantee has six (6) months in which to provide a new,
Access Channel for the same purpose; provided that, the provision of the
additional Channel or Channels does not require the Cable System to install
Converters.
(c) The VHF spectrum shall be used for one (1) of the public,
educational, or governmental specially designated Access Channels.
(d) Subject to the terms of this Franchise, the City or its designee shall
be responsible for developing, implementing, interpreting and enforcing rules for
PEG Access Channel use.
(e) The Grantee shall monitor the Access Channels for technical quality
to ensure that they meet FCC technical standards including those applicable to
the carriage of Access Channels, provided however, that the Grantee is not
responsible for the production quality of PEG programming productions. The
33
3047027v1
City, or its designee, shall be responsible for the production and quality of all PEG
access programming. Grantee shall carry all components of the standard
definition of Access Channel including, but not limited to, closed captioning,
stereo audio and other elements associated with the programming.
7.14 Access Channel Support.
(a) Upon the Effective Date of this Franchise, Grantee shall collect and
remit to the City Sixty cents (60¢) per Subscriber per month in support of PEG
capital (“PEG Fee”).
(b) On August 1, 2017, the City, at its discretion, and upon ninety (90)
Days advance written notice to Grantee, may require Grantee to increase the PEG
Fee to Sixty-five cents (65¢) per Subscriber per month for the remaining term of
the Franchise. The PEG Fee shall be used by City in its sole discretion to fund PEG
access capital expenditures. In no event shall the PEG Fee be assessed in an
amount different from that imposed upon the incumbent cable provider. In the
event the incumbent cable provider agrees to a higher or lower PEG Fee, Grantee
will increase or decrease its PEG Fee upon ninety (90) Days written notice from
the City.
(c) The PEG Fee is not intended to represent part of the Franchise Fee
and is intended to fall within one (1) or more of the exceptions in 47 U.S.C. § 542.
The PEG Fee may be categorized, itemized, and passed through to Subscribers as
permissible, in accordance with 47 U.S.C. §542 or other Applicable Laws. Grantee
shall pay the PEG Fee to the City quarterly at the same time as the payment of
Franchise Fees under Section 16.1 of the Franchise. Grantee agrees that it will not
offset or reduce its payment of past, present or future Franchise Fees required as
a result of its obligation to remit the PEG Fee.
(d) Any PEG Fee amounts owing pursuant to this Franchise which
remain unpaid more than twenty-five (25) Days after the date the payment is due
shall be delinquent and shall thereafter accrue interest at twelve percent (12%)
per annum or the prime lending rate published by the Wall Street Journal on the
Day the payment was due plus two percent (2%), whichever is greater.
7.15 PEG Technical Quality.
(a) Grantee shall not be required to carry a PEG Access Channel in a
higher quality format than that of the Channel Signal delivered to Grantee, but
Grantee shall not implement a change in the method of delivery of Access
34
3047027v1
Channels that results in a material degradation of signal quality or impairment of
viewer reception of Access Channels, provided that this requirement shall not
prohibit Grantee from implementing new technologies also utilized for
commercial Channels carried on its Cable System. Grantee shall meet FCC signal
quality standards when offering Access Channels on its Cable System and shall
continue to comply with closed captioning pass-through requirements. There
shall be no significant deterioration in an Access Channels signal from the point
of origination upstream to the point of reception downstream on the Cable
System.
(b) Within twenty-four (24) hours of a written request from City to the
Grantee identifying a technical problem with a Access Channel and requesting
assistance, Grantee will provide technical assistance or diagnostic services to
determine whether or not a problem with a PEG signal is the result of matters for
which Grantee is responsible and if so, Grantee will take prompt corrective action.
If the problem persists and there is a dispute about the cause, then the parties
shall meet with engineering representation from Grantee and the City in order to
determine the course of action to remedy the problem.
7.16 Access Channel Promotion. Grantee shall allow the City to print and mail a
post card for promoting a designated entity’s service or generally promoting community
programming to households in the City subscribing to Grantee’s Cable Service at a cost
to the City not to exceed Grantee’s out of pocket cost, no less frequently than twice per
year, or at such time as a Access Channel is moved or relocated, upon the written
request of the City. The post card shall be designed by the City and shall conform to the
Grantee’s standards and policies for size and weight. Any post card denigrating the
Grantee, its service or its programming is not permitted. The City agrees to pay Grantee
in advance for the actual cost of such post card.
7.17 Change in Technology. 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 to obtain new equipment in order to be compatible with such
change for purposes of transport and delivery of the Access Channels, Grantee shall, at
its own expense and free of charge to City or its designated entities, purchase such
equipment as may be necessary to facilitate the cablecasting of the Access Channels in
accordance with the requirements of the Franchise.
7.18 Relocation of Grantee’s Headend. In the event Grantee relocates its
headend, Grantee will be responsible for replacing or restoring the existing dedicated
fiber connections at Grantee’s cost so that all the functions and capacity remain
35
3047027v1
available, operate reliably and satisfy all applicable technical standards and related
obligations of the Franchise free of charge to the City or its designated entities.
7.19 Regional Channel Six. Grantee shall make available Regional Channel Six
as long as it is required to do so by the State of Minnesota.
7.20 Government Access Channel Functionality. Grantee agrees to provide
the capability such that the City, from its City Hall, can switch its government Access
Channel in the following ways:
(a) Insert live Council meetings from City Hall;
(b) Replay government access programming from City Hall; and
(c) Transmit character generated programming.
(d) Schedule for Grantee to replay City-provided tapes in pre-arranged
time slot on the government Access Channel; and
(e) Switch to other available programming where the City has legal
authority.
7.21 Compliance with Minnesota Statutes Chapter 238. In addition to the
requirements contained in this Section 7 of this Franchise, Grantee and City shall comply
with the PEG requirements mandated by Minn. Stat. 238.084.
SECTION 8
REGULATORY PROVISIONS.
8.1 Intent. The City shall have the right to administer and regulate activities
under the Franchise up to the full extent permitted by Applicable Law.
8.2 Delegation of Authority to Regulate. The City reserves the right to
delegate its regulatory authority wholly or in part to agents of the City, including, but
not limited to, an agency which may be formed to regulate several franchises in the
region in a manner consistent with Applicable Laws. This may include but shall not be
limited to the Commission or other entity as City may determine in its sole discretion.
Any existing delegation in place at the time of the grant of this Franchise shall remain
intact unless expressly modified by City.
36
3047027v1
8.3 Areas of Administrative Authority. In addition to any other regulatory
authority granted to the City by law or franchise, the City shall have administrative
authority in the following areas:
(a) Administering and enforcing the provisions of this Franchise,
including the adoption of administrative rules and regulations to carry out this
responsibility.
(b) Coordinating the operation of Access Channels.
(c) Formulating and recommending long-range cable communications
policy for the Franchise Area.
(d) Disbursing and utilizing Franchise revenues paid to the City.
(e) Administering the regulation of rates, to the extent permitted by

by Applicable Law.
8.4 Regulation of Rates and Charges.
(a) Right to Regulate. The City reserves the right to regulate rates or
charges for any Cable Service within the limits of Applicable Law, to enforce rate
regulations prescribed by the FCC, and to establish procedures for said regulation
or enforcement.
(b) Notice of Change in Rates and Charges. Throughout the term of
this Franchise, Grantee shall give the City and all Subscribers within the City at
least thirty (30) Days’ notice of any intended modifications or additions to
Subscriber rates or charges. Nothing in this Subsection shall be construed to
prohibit the reduction or waiving of rates or charges in conjunction with
promotional campaigns for the purpose of attracting Subscribers or users.
(c) Rate Discrimination Prohibited. Within any category of Subscribers,
Grantee shall not discriminate among Subscribers with regard to rates and
charges made for any service based on considerations of race, color, creed, sex,
marital or economic status, national origin, sexual preference, or (except as
37
3047027v1
allowed by Applicable Law) neighborhood of residence, except as otherwise
provided herein; and for purposes of setting rates and charges, no categorization
of Subscribers shall be made by Grantee on the basis of those considerations.
Nevertheless, Grantee shall be permitted to establish (1) discounted rates and
charges for providing Cable Service to low-income, handicapped, or low-income
elderly Subscribers, (2) promotional rates, and (3) bulk rate and package discount
pricing.
SECTION 9
BOND.
9.1 Performance Bond. Upon the Effective Date of this Franchise and at all
times thereafter Grantee shall maintain with City a bond in the sum of One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) in such form and with such sureties as shall be
acceptable to City, conditioned upon the faithful performance by Grantee of this
Franchise and the acceptance hereof given by City and upon the further condition that
in the event Grantee shall fail to comply with any law, ordinance or regulation, there
shall be recoverable jointly and severally from the principal and surety of the bond, any
damages or losses suffered by City as a result, including the full amount of any
compensation, indemnification or cost of removal of any property of Grantee, including
a reasonable allowance for attorneys’ fees and costs (with interest at two percent (2%) in
excess of the then prime rate), up to the full amount of the bond, and which bond shall
further guarantee payment by Grantee of all claims and liens against City or any, public
property, and taxes due to City, which arise by reason of the construction, operation,
maintenance or use of the Cable System. The City shall provide Grantee reasonable
advanced notice of not less than ten (10) Days prior to any draw by the City on the
performance bond required under this Section 9.
9.2 Rights. The rights reserved by City with respect to the bond are in addition
to all other rights the City may have under this Franchise or any other law.
9.3 Reduction of Bond Amount. City may, in its sole discretion, reduce the
amount of the bond.
SECTION 10
SECURITY FUND
10.1 Security Fund. If there is an uncured breach by Grantee of a material
provision of this Franchise or a pattern of repeated violations of any provision(s) of this
Franchise, then Grantee shall, upon written request, establish and provide to the City, as
security for the faithful performance by Grantee of all of the provisions of this Franchise,
38
3047027v1
a letter of credit from a financial institution satisfactory to the City in the amount of
Twenty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($20,000.00). In no event shall Grantee fail to
post a Twenty Thousand and No/100 Dollar ($20,000.00) letter of credit within thirty (30)
days receipt of a notice of franchise violation pursuant to this Section 10.1. Failure to
post said letter of credit shall constitute a separate material violation of this Franchise,
unless the breach is cured within such thirty (30) Day period or longer period allowed
under the Franchise. The letter of credit shall serve as a common security fund for the
faithful performance by Grantee of all the provisions of this Franchise and compliance
with all orders, permits and directions of the City and the payment by Grantee of any
claim, liens, costs, expenses and taxes due the City which arise by reason of the
construction, operation or maintenance of the Cable System. Interest on this deposit
shall be paid to Grantee by the bank on an annual basis. The security may be terminated
by the Grantee upon the resolution of the alleged noncompliance. The obligation to
establish the security fund required by this paragraph is unconditional. The fund must
be established in those circumstances where Grantee disputes the allegation that it is
not in compliance, and maintained for the duration of the dispute. If Grantee fails to
establish the security fund as required, the City may take whatever action is appropriate
to require the establishment of that fund and may recover its costs, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, and an additional penalty of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000) in that
action.
10.2 Withdrawal of Funds. Provision shall be made to permit the City to
withdraw funds from the security fund. Grantee shall not use the security fund for other
purposes and shall not assign, pledge or otherwise use this security fund as security for
any purpose.
10.3 Restoration of Funds. Within ten (10) Days after notice to it that any
amount has been withdrawn by the City from the security fund pursuant to 10.4 of this
section, Grantee shall deposit a sum of money sufficient to restore such security fund to
the required amount.
10.4 Liquidated Damages. In addition to recovery of any monies owed by
Grantee to City or damages to City as a result of any acts or omissions by Grantee
pursuant to the Franchise, City in its sole discretion may charge to and collect from the
security fund the following liquidated damages:
(a) For failure to provide data, documents, reports or information or to
cooperate with City during an application process or System review, the
liquidated damage shall be One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per Day for each Day,
or part thereof, such failure occurs or continues.
39
3047027v1
(b) For failure to comply with any of the provisions of this Franchise for
which a penalty is not otherwise specifically provided pursuant to this Paragraph
10.4, the liquidated damage shall be One Hundred Fifty Dollars ($150.00) per Day
for each Day, or part thereof, such failure occurs or continues.
(c) For failure to test, analyze and report on the performance of the
System following a request by City, the liquidated damage shall be Two Hundred
Fifty Dollars ($250.00) per Day for each Day, or part thereof, such failure occurs or
continues.
(d) Forty-five Days following notice from City of a failure of Grantee to
comply with construction, operation or maintenance standards, the liquidated
damage shall be Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) per Day for each Day, or part
thereof, such failure occurs or continues.
(e) For failure to provide the services Grantee has proposed, including
but not limited to the implementation and the utilization of the Access Channels
the liquidated damage shall be One Hundred Fifty ($150.00) per Day for each
Day, or part thereof, such failure occurs or continues.
10.5 Each Violation a Separate Violation. Each violation of any provision of
this Franchise shall be considered a separate violation for which separate liquidated
damages can be imposed.
10.6 Maximum 120 Days. Any liquidated damages for any given violation shall
be imposed upon Grantee for a maximum of one hundred twenty (120) Days. If after
that amount of time Grantee has not cured or commenced to cure the alleged breach to
the satisfaction of the City, the City may pursue all other remedies.
10.7 Withdrawal of Funds to Pay Taxes. If Grantee fails to pay to the City any
taxes due and unpaid; or fails to repay to the City, any damages, costs or expenses which
the City shall be compelled to pay by reason of any act or default of the Grantee in
connection with this Franchise; or fails, after thirty (30) Days notice of such failure by the
City to comply with any provision of the Franchise which the City reasonably determines
can be remedied by an expenditure of the security, the City may then withdraw such
funds from the security fund. Payments are not Franchise Fees as defined in Section 16
of this Franchise.
10.8 Procedure for Draw on Security Fund. Whenever the City finds that
Grantee has allegedly violated one (1) or more terms, conditions or provisions of this
Franchise, a written notice shall be given to Grantee. The written notice shall describe in
40
3047027v1
reasonable detail the alleged violation so as to afford Grantee an opportunity to remedy
the violation. Grantee shall have thirty (30) Days subsequent to receipt of the notice in
which to correct the violation before the City may require Grantee to make payment of
damages, and further to enforce payment of damages through the security fund.
Grantee may, within ten (10) Days of receipt of notice, notify the City that there is a
dispute as to whether a violation or failure has, in fact, occurred. Such notice by Grantee
shall specify with particularity the matters disputed by Grantee and shall stay the
running of the above-described time.
(a) City shall hear Grantee’s dispute at the next regularly scheduled or
specially scheduled Council meeting. Grantee shall have the right to speak and
introduce evidence. The City shall determine if Grantee has committed a
violation and shall make written findings of fact relative to its determination. If a
violation is found, Grantee may petition for reconsideration.
(b) If after hearing the dispute, the claim is upheld by the City, then
Grantee shall have thirty (30) Days within which to remedy the violation before
the City may require payment of all liquidated damages due it.
10.9 Time for Correction of Violation. The time for Grantee to correct any
alleged violation may be extended by the City if the necessary action to collect the
alleged violation is of such a nature or character as to require more than thirty (30) Days
within which to perform provided Grantee commences corrective action within fifteen
(15) Days and thereafter uses reasonable diligence, as determined by the City, to correct
the violation.
10.10 Grantee’s Right to Pay Prior to Security Fund Draw. Grantee shall have
the opportunity to make prompt payment of any assessed liquidated damages and if
Grantee fails to promptly remit payment to the City, the City may resort to a draw from
the security fund in accordance with the terms of this Section 10 of the Franchise.
10.11 Failure to so Replenish Security Fund. If any security fund is not so
replaced, City may draw on said security fund for the whole amount thereof and hold
the proceeds, without interest, and use the proceeds to pay costs incurred by City in
performing and paying for any or all of the obligations, duties and responsibilities of
Grantee under this Franchise that are not performed or paid for by Grantee pursuant
hereto, including attorneys’ fees incurred by the City in so performing and paying. The
failure to so replace any security fund may also, at the option of City, be deemed a
default by Grantee under this Franchise. The drawing on the security fund by City, and
use of the money so obtained for payment or performance of the obligations, duties
41
3047027v1
and responsibilities of Grantee which are in default, shall not be a waiver or release of
such default.
10.12 Collection of Funds Not Exclusive Remedy. The collection by City of any
damages or monies from the security fund shall not affect any other right or remedy
available to City, nor shall any act, or failure to act, by City pursuant to the security fund,
be deemed a waiver of any right of City pursuant to this Franchise or otherwise.
Notwithstanding this section, however, should the City elect to impose liquidated
damages that remedy shall remain the City’s exclusive remedy for the one hundred
twenty (120) Day period set forth in Section 10.6.
SECTION 11
DEFAULT
11.1 Basis for Default. City shall give written notice of default to Grantee if
City, in its sole discretion, determines that Grantee has:
(a) Violated any material provision of this Franchise or the acceptance
hereto or any rule, order, regulation or determination of the City, state or federal
government, not in conflict with this Franchise;
(b) Attempted to evade any provision of this Franchise or the
acceptance hereof;
(c) Practiced any fraud or deceit upon City or Subscribers; or
(d) Made a material misrepresentation of fact in the application for or
negotiation of this Franchise.
11.2 Default Procedure. If Grantee fails to cure such default within thirty (30)
Days after the giving of such notice (or if such default is of such a character as to require
more than thirty (30) Days within which to cure the same, and Grantee fails to
commence to cure the same within said thirty (30) Day period and thereafter fails to use
reasonable diligence, in City’s sole opinion, to cure such default as soon as possible),
then, and in any event, such default shall be a substantial breach and City may elect to
terminate the Franchise. The City may place the issue of revocation and termination of
this Franchise before the governing body of City at a regular meeting. If City decides
there is cause or reason to terminate, the following procedure shall be followed:
(a) City shall provide Grantee with a written notice of the reason or
cause for proposed termination and shall allow Grantee a minimum of thirty (30)
Days subsequent to receipt of the notice in which to correct the default.
42
3047027v1
(b) Grantee shall be provided with an opportunity to be heard at a
public hearing prior to any decision to terminate this Franchise.
(c) If, after notice is given and an opportunity to cure, at Grantee’s
option, a public hearing is held, and the City determines there was a violation,
breach, failure, refusal or neglect, the City may declare by resolution the Franchise
revoked and of no further force and effect unless there is compliance within such
period as the City may fix, such period may not be less than thirty (30) Days
provided no opportunity for compliance need be granted for fraud or
misrepresentation.
11.3 Mediation. If the Grantee and City are unable to resolve a dispute through
informal negotiations during the period of thirty (30) Days following the submission of
the claim giving rise to the dispute by one (1) party to the other, then unless that claim
has been waived as provided in the Franchise, such claim may be subject to mediation if
jointly agreed upon by both parties. Unless the Grantee and City mutually agree
otherwise, such mediation shall be in accordance with the rules of the American
Arbitration Association currently in effect at the time of the mediation. A party seeking
mediation shall file a request for mediation with the other party to the Franchise and
with the American Arbitration Association. The request may be made simultaneously
with the filing of a complaint, but, in such event, mediation shall proceed in advance of
legal proceedings only if the other party agrees to participate in mediation. Mutually
agreed upon Mediation shall stay other enforcement remedies of the parties for a
period of ninety (90) days from the date of filing, unless stayed for a longer period by
agreement of the Grantee and City. The Grantee and City shall each pay one-half of the
mediator’s fee and any filing fees. The mediation shall be held in the City unless another
location is mutually agreed upon. Agreements reached in mediation shall be
enforceable as a settlement agreement in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Nothing
herein shall serve to modify or on any way delay the franchise enforcement process set
forth in Section 10 of this Franchise.
11.4 Failure to Enforce. Grantee shall not be relieved of any of its obligations to
comply promptly with any provision of the Franchise by reason of any failure of the City
to enforce prompt compliance, and City’s failure to enforce shall not constitute a waiver
of rights or acquiescence in Grantee’s conduct.
11.5 Compliance with the Laws.
(a) If any federal or state law or regulation shall require or permit City
or Grantee to perform any service or act or shall prohibit City or Grantee from
performing any service or act which may be in conflict with the terms of this
43
3047027v1
Franchise, then as soon as possible following knowledge thereof, either party
shall notify the other of the point in conflict believed to exist between such law or
regulation. Grantee and City shall conform to state laws and rules regarding cable
communications not later than one (1) year after they become effective, unless
otherwise stated, and shall conform to federal laws and regulations regarding
cable as they become effective.
(b) If any term, condition or provision of this Franchise or the
application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be held to
be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder hereof and the application of such
term, condition or provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to
whom it shall be held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and
this Franchise and all the terms, provisions and conditions hereof shall, in all
other respects, continue to be effective and complied with provided the loss of
the invalid or unenforceable clause does not substantially alter the agreement
between the parties. In the event such law, rule or regulation is subsequently
repealed, rescinded, amended or otherwise changed so that the provision which
had been held invalid or modified is no longer in conflict with the law, rules and
regulations then in effect, said provision shall thereupon return to full force and
effect and shall thereafter be binding on Grantee and City.
SECTION 12
FORECLOSURE AND RECEIVERSHIP
12.1 Foreclosure. Upon the foreclosure or other judicial sale of the Cable
System, Grantee shall notify the City of such fact and such notification shall be treated
as a notification that a change in control of Grantee has taken place, and the provisions

and addresses of Subscribers or any lists that identify the viewing habits of
Subscribers shall be sold or otherwise made available to any party other than to
Grantee or its agents for Grantee’s business use, and also to the Subscriber

after the later of: (i) forty-five (45) Days after the original due date of said delinquent fee
or charge; or (ii) ten (10) Days after delivery to Subscriber of written notice of the intent

shall not disconnect. After disconnection, upon payment in full of the delinquent fee or
charge and the payment of a reconnection charge, Grantee shall promptly reinstate the
Subscriber’s Cable Service.
15.2 Refunds to Subscribers shall be made or determined in the following
manner:
(a) If Grantee fails, upon request by a Subscriber, to provide any service
then being offered, Grantee shall promptly refund all deposits or advance
charges paid for the service in question by said Subscriber. This provision does
not alter Grantee’s responsibility to Subscribers under any separate contractual
agreement or relieve Grantee of any other liability.
(b) If any Subscriber terminates any monthly service because of failure
of Grantee to render the service in accordance with this Franchise, Grantee shall
refund to such Subscriber the proportionate share of the charges paid by the
Subscriber for the services not received. This provision does not relieve Grantee
of liability established in other provisions of this Franchise.
54
3047027v1
(c) If any Subscriber terminates any monthly service prior to the end of
a prepaid period, a proportionate amount of any prepaid Subscriber service fee,
using the number of days as a basis, shall be refunded to the Subscriber by
Grantee.
SECTION 16
COMPENSATION AND FINANCIAL PROVISIONS.
16.1 Franchise Fees. During the term of the Franchise, Grantee shall pay to the
City a Franchise Fee of five percent (5%) of Gross Revenues. If any such law, regulation
or valid rule alters the five percent (5%) Franchise Fee ceiling enacted by the Cable Act,
then the City shall have the authority to (but shall not be required to) increase the
Franchise Fee accordingly, provided such increase is for purposes not inconsistent with
Applicable Law. In the event Grantee bundles or combines Cable Services (which are
subject to the Franchise Fee) with non-Cable Services (which are not subject to the
Franchise Fee) so that Subscribers pay a single fee for more than one (1) class of service
resulting in a discount on Cable Services, Grantee agrees that for the purpose of
calculation of the Franchise Fee, it shall allocate to Cable Service revenue no less than a
pro rata share of the revenue received for the bundled or combined services. The pro
rata share shall be computed on the basis of the published charge for each service in
the bundled or combined classes of services when purchased separately.
(a) Franchise Fees shall be paid quarterly not later than forty-five (45)
Days following the end of a given quarter. In accordance with Section 16 of this
Franchise, Grantee shall file with the City a Franchise Fee payment worksheet,
attached as Exhibit B, signed by an authorized representative of Grantee, which
identifies Gross Revenues earned by Grantee during the period for which
payment is made. No acceptance of any payment shall be construed as an
accord that the amount paid is in fact, the correct amount, nor shall such
acceptance of payment be construed as a release of any claim which the City may
have for further or additional sums payable under the provisions of this section.
(b) Neither current nor previously paid Franchise Fees shall be
subtracted from the Gross Revenue amount upon which Franchise Fees are
calculated and due for any period, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.
(c) Any Franchise Fees owing pursuant to this Franchise which remain
unpaid more than forty-five (45) Days after the dates specified herein shall be
delinquent and shall thereafter accrue interest at twelve percent (12%) per annum
or two percent (2%) above prime lending rate as quoted by the Wall Street
Journal, whichever is greater.
55
3047027v1
(d) In no event shall the Grantee be required to pay a Franchise Fee
percentage in excess of that paid by incumbent cable provider.
16.2 Auditing and Financial Records. Throughout the term of this Franchise,
the Grantee agrees that the City, upon reasonable prior written notice of not less than
twenty (20) Days to the Grantee, may review such of the Grantee’s books and records
regarding the operation of the Cable System and the provision of Cable Service in the
Franchise Area which are reasonably necessary to monitor and enforce Grantee’s
compliance with the provisions of this Franchise. Grantee shall provide such requested
information as soon as possible and in no event more than thirty (30) Days after the
notice unless Grantee explains that it is not feasible to meet this timeline and provides a
written explanation for the delay and an estimated reasonable date for when such
information will be provided. All such documents pertaining to financial matters that
may be the subject of an inspection by the City shall be retained by the Grantee for a
minimum period of six (6) years, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 541.05. The
Grantee shall not deny the City access to any of the Grantee’s records on the basis that
the Grantee’s records are under the control of any parent corporation, Affiliated entity
or a third party. The City may request in writing copies of any such records or books
that are reasonably necessary, and the Grantee shall provide such copies within thirty
(30) Days of the receipt of such request. One (1) copy of all reports and records
required under this or any other section shall be furnished to the City at the sole
expense of the Grantee. If the requested books and records are too voluminous, or for
security reasons cannot be copied or removed, then the Grantee may request, in writing
within ten (10) Days of receipt of such request, that the City inspect them at the
Grantee’s local offices or at one of Grantee’s offices more convenient to City or its duly
authorized agent. If any books or records of the Grantee are not kept in such office and
not made available in copies to the City upon written request as set forth above, and if
the City determines that an examination of such records is necessary for the
enforcement of this Franchise, then all reasonable travel expenses incurred in making
such examination shall be paid by the Grantee.
16.3 Review of Record Keeping Methodology. Grantee agrees to meet with
representative of the City upon request to review its methodology of record-keeping,
financial reporting, computing Franchise Fee obligations, and other procedures the
understanding of which the City deems necessary for understanding the meaning of
reports and records related to the Franchise.
16.4 Audit of Records. The City or its authorized agent may at any time and at
the City’s own expense conduct an independent audit of the revenues of Grantee in
order to verify the accuracy of Franchise Fees paid to the City. Grantee shall cooperate
56
3047027v1
fully in the conduct of such audit and shall produce all necessary records related to the
provision of Cable Services regardless of which corporate entity controls such records. In
the event it is determined through such audit that Grantee has underpaid Franchise Fees
in an amount of five percent (5%) or more than was due the City, then Grantee shall
reimburse the City for the entire reasonable cost of the audit within thirty (30) days of
the completion and acceptance of the audit by the City.
16.5 Records to be reviewed. The City agrees to request access to only those
books and records, in exercising its rights under this section, which it deems reasonably
necessary for the enforcement and administration of the Franchise.
16.6 Indemnification by Grantee.
(a) Grantee shall, at its sole expense, fully indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the City, and in their capacity as such, the officers and employees
thereof, from and against any and all claims, suits, actions, liability and judgments
for damage or otherwise except those arising wholly from negligence on the part
of the City or its employees; for actual or alleged injury to persons or property,
including loss of use of property due to an occurrence, whether or not such
property is physically damaged or destroyed, in any way arising out of or through
or alleged to arise out of or through the acts or omissions of Grantee or its
officers, agents, employees, or contractors or to which Grantee’s or its officers,
agents, employees or contractors acts or omissions in any way contribute, and
whether or not such acts or omissions were authorized or contemplated by this
Franchise or Applicable Law; arising out of. or alleged to arise out of any claim for
damages for Grantee’s invasion of the right of privacy, defamation of any Person,
firm or corporation, or the violation of infringement of any copyright, trademark,
trade name, service mark or patent, or of any other right of any Person, firm or
corporation; arising out of or alleged to arise out of Grantee’s failure to comply
with the provisions of any Applicable Law. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
prevent the City, its officers, or its employees from participating in the defense of
any litigation by their own counsel at such parties’ expense. Such participation
shall not under any circumstances relieve Grantee from its duty of defense
against liability or of paying any judgment entered against the City, its officers, or
its employees.
(b) Grantee shall contemporaneously with this Franchise execute an
Indemnity Agreement in a form acceptable to the City attached hereto as Exhibit
C, which shall indemnify, defend and hold the City harmless for any claim for
injury, damage, loss, liability, cost or expense, including court and appeal costs
57
3047027v1
and reasonable attorneys’ fees or reasonable expenses arising out of the actions
of the City in granting this Franchise. This obligation includes any claims by
another franchised cable operator against the City that the terms and conditions
of this Franchise are less burdensome than another franchise granted by the City
or that this Franchise does not satisfy the requirements of Applicable Law(s).

expense take out and maintain during the term of this Franchise public liability

form acceptable to City and shall provide satisfactory evidence that Grantee has
complied with all insurance requirements. Renewal certificates shall be provided
to City prior to the expiration date of any of the required policies. City will not be
obligated, however, to review such endorsements or certificates or other
evidence of insurance, or to advise Grantee of any deficiencies in such documents
and receipt thereof shall not relieve Grantee from, nor be deemed a waiver of,
City’s right to enforce the terms of Grantee’s obligations hereunder. City reserves
the right to examine any policy provided for under this paragraph or to require
further documentation reasonably necessary to form an opinion regarding the
adequacy of Grantee’s insurance coverage.
SECTION 17
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
17.1 Posting and Publication. Grantee shall assume the cost of posting and
publication of this Franchise as such posting and publication is required by law and such
is payable upon Grantee’s filing of acceptance of this Franchise.
17.2 Guarantee of Performance. Grantee agrees that it enters into this
Franchise voluntarily in order to secure and in consideration of the grant from the City
of a five (5) year Franchise. Performance pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Franchise is guaranteed by Grantee.
17.3 Entire Agreement. This Franchise contains the entire agreement between
the parties, supersedes all prior agreements or proposals except as specifically set forth
herein, and cannot be changed orally but only by an instrument in writing executed by
the parties. This Franchise is made pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 238 and is
intended to comply with all requirements set forth therein.
17.4 Consent. Wherever the consent or approval of either Grantee or the City is
specifically required in this agreement, such consent or approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
59
3047027v1
17.5 Franchise Acceptance. No later than forty-five (45) Days following City
Council approval of this Franchise, Grantee shall execute and return to the City three (3)
original franchise agreements. The executed agreements shall be returned to the City
accompanied by performance bonds, and evidence of insurance, all as provided in this
Franchise. The City’s “Notice of Intent to Consider an Application for a Franchise”
(“Notice”) provided, consistent with Minn. Stat. 238.081 subd. 8, that applicants would
be required to reimburse the City for all necessary costs of processing a cable
communications franchise. Grantee submitted an application fee with its application to
the City. The Notice further provided that any unused portion of the application fee
would be returned and any additional fees required to process the application and
franchise, beyond the application fee, would be assessed to the successful applicant.
The Grantee shall therefore submit to the City at the time of acceptance of this
Franchise, a check made payable to the City of Edina, Minnesota for all additional fees
and costs incurred by the City. Within thirty (30) days of City Council approval, the City
shall provide Grantee with a letter specifying such additional costs following approval of
this Franchise by the City Council. In the event Grantee fails to accept this Franchise, or
fails to provide the required documents and payments, this Franchise shall be null and
void. The Grantee agrees that despite the fact that its written acceptance may occur
after the Effective Date, the obligations of this Franchise shall become effective on the
Effective Date.
17.6 Amendment of Franchise. Grantee and City may agree, from time to time,
to amend this Franchise. Such written amendments may be made subsequent to a
review session pursuant to Section 2.7 or at any other time if City and Grantee agree
that such an amendment will be in the public interest or if such an amendment is
required due to changes in federal, state or local laws; provided, however, nothing
herein shall restrict City’s exercise of its police powers.
17.7 Notice. Any notification that requires a response or action from a party to
this Franchise, within a specific time-frame or would trigger a timeline that would affect
one or both parties’ rights under this Franchise, shall be made in writing and shall be

17.17 Competitive Equity. If any other Wireline MVPD enters into any
agreement with the City to provide multi channel video programming or its equivalent
to residents in the City, the City, upon written request of the Grantee, shall permit the
Grantee to construct and/or operate its Cable System and provide multi channel video

Indemnity Agreement
INDEMNITY AGREEMENT made this ____ day of _____________________, 201__, by
and between Qwest Broadband Services, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, party of the first
part, hereinafter called “CenturyLink,” and the City of Edina, a Minnesota Municipal
Corporation, party of the second part, hereinafter called “City.”
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the City of Edina has awarded to Qwest Broadband Services, Inc. a
franchise for the operation of a cable communications system in the City of Edina; and
WHEREAS, the City has required, as a condition of its award of a cable
communications franchise, that it be indemnified with respect to all claims and actions
arising from the award of said franchise,
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing promises and the mutual
promises contained in this agreement and in consideration of entering into a cable
television franchise agreement and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of
which is hereby acknowledged, CenturyLink hereby agrees, at its sole cost and expense,
to fully indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City, its officers, boards, commissions,
employees and agents against any and all claims, suits, actions, liabilities and judgments
for damages, cost or expense (including, but not limited to, court and appeal costs and
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements assumed or incurred by the City in
connection therewith) arising out of the actions of the City in granting a franchise to
CenturyLink. This includes any claims by another franchised cable operator against the
City that the terms and conditions of the CenturyLink franchise are less burdensome
than another franchise granted by the City or that the CenturyLink Franchise does not
satisfy the requirements of applicable federal, state, or local law(s). The indemnification
provided for herein shall not extend or apply to any acts of the City constituting a
violation or breach by the City of the contractual provisions of the franchise ordinance,
unless such acts are the result of a change in applicable law, the order of a court or
administrative agency, or are caused by the acts of CenturyLink.
The City shall give CenturyLink reasonable notice of the making of any claim or
the commencement of any action, suit or other proceeding covered by this agreement.
The City shall cooperate with CenturyLink in the defense of any such action, suit or other
proceeding at the request of CenturyLink. The City may participate in the defense of a
claim, but if CenturyLink provides a defense at CenturyLink’s expense then CenturyLink
shall not be liable for any attorneys’ fees, expenses or other costs that City may incur if it
C-2
3047027v1
chooses to participate in the defense of a claim, unless and until separate representation
is required. If separate representation to fully protect the interests of both parties is or
becomes necessary, such as a conflict of interest, in accordance with the Minnesota
Rules of Professional Conduct, between the City and the counsel selected by
CenturyLink to represent the City, CenturyLink shall pay, from the date such separate
representation is required forward, all reasonable expenses incurred by the City in
defending itself with regard to any action, suit or proceeding indemnified by
CenturyLink. Provided, however, that in the event that such separate representation is
or becomes necessary, and City desires to hire counsel or any other outside experts or
consultants and desires CenturyLink to pay those expenses, then City shall be required
to obtain CenturyLink’s consent to the engagement of such counsel, experts or
consultants, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the parties agree that the City may utilize at any time, at its own cost and
expense, its own City Attorney or outside counsel with respect to any claim brought by
another franchised cable operator as described in this agreement.
The provisions of this agreement shall not be construed to constitute an
amendment of the cable communications franchise ordinance or any portion thereof,
but shall be in addition to and independent of any other similar provisions contained in
the cable communications franchise ordinance or any other agreement of the parties
hereto. The provisions of this agreement shall not be dependent or conditioned upon
the validity of the cable communications franchise ordinance or the validity of any of the
procedures or agreements involved in the award or acceptance of the franchise, but
shall be and remain a binding obligation of the parties hereto even if the cable
communications franchise ordinance or the grant of the franchise is declared null and
void in a legal or administrative proceeding.
It is the purpose of this agreement to provide maximum indemnification to City
under the terms set out herein and, in the event of a dispute as to the meaning of this
Indemnity Agreement, it shall be construed, to the greatest extent permitted by law, to
provide for the indemnification of the City by CenturyLink. This agreement shall be a
binding obligation of and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their
successor's and assigns, if any.

ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve Resolution No. 2015-121 Setting 2016 Tax Levy and Adopting 2016 Operating Budget.
INTRODUCTION:
The City started the 2016-2017 Budget development process early in the year. Department heads finalized their
budget requests in May, taking into consideration the 2016-2017 City-Wide work plan themes that were initially
developed by the City Council at a February retreat. City Manager Scott Neal introduced the proposed City-Wide
Work Plan and Budget to the City Council at a July work session.
The City Council reviewed the proposed Budget at an August work session, and on September 1, 2015 the City
staff and City Manager Scott Neal recommended a preliminary levy for taxes payable in 2016 based on the input
received throughout the year. City Council adopted the recommended preliminary levy, which would increase the
total of all levies by $2,099,113 or 7.07%.
Staff recommends the preliminary levy be approved as final by adopting the attached Resolution No. 2015-121 at
the December 15, 2015 Council meeting.

Mayor and Council
Eric Roggeman, Finance Director
Resolution No. 2015-121: Setting 2016 Tax Levy and Adopting 2016 Operating Budget
Information / Background:
The City started the 2016-2017 Budget development process early in 2015. The rationale behind a two-
year budget is to spend more time in the first year working on the budget, and the second year spending
more time on the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and less time making changes to the operating budget.
The City followed that plan in 2015, with the focus being the 2016-2017 operating budgets. Important dates
for the 2016-2017 Budget process were:
May 15, 2015, Department Heads finalize 2016-2017 budget requests.
July 8, 2015, City’s Executive Leadership Team (ELT) reviews the 2016-2017 draft budget.
July 21, 2015, Council work session to introduce City Manager Scott Neal’s proposed 2016-2017
City Wide Work Plan and Budget
August 18, 2015, Council work session to review proposed 2016-2017 Budgets.
September 1, 2015, Council adopts a formal resolution to set the 2016 preliminary levy and budget.
November 4, 2015, Council work session to review final proposed 2016-2017 Budgets and Work
Plans.
December 1, 2015, Public Hearing on the 2016 operating budget and levy.
December 15, 2015, Council adopts a final levy and budget resolution for 2016 that staff will use to
certify taxes to the County Auditor.
The City is required to certify our final property tax levy to the County Auditor by December 28, 2015.
The final levy may be less than or equal to, but not higher than the preliminary levy.
STAFF REPORT Page 2
The attached Resolution No. 2015-121 will set the final 2016 tax levies of $25,023,952 for the General Fund,
$20,000 for the Arts and Culture Fund, $1,680,000 for the Construction Fund to be used for equipment
replacement, $946,000 for city hall debt (levy through 2020), $385,901 for gymnasium debt (levy through
2025), $443,000 for fire station debt (levy through 2027), $1,561,000 for public works facility debt (levy
through 2029), and $1,167,620 for sports dome project debt (levy through 2034). The total market value
based referendum levy would be set at $571,650 for park referendum debt service (levy through 2016).
These 2016 tax levies are equal to the preliminary levies set by the City Council on September 1, 2015. The
County used these tax levies to calculate and mail parcel-specific notices to property owners. The attached
resolution reflects the 2016 budget and levies presented for the December 1, 2015 Truth in Taxation
hearing. Staff has prepared an updates to the December 1 presentation based on feedback received and new
developments. The feedback staff received on December 1 was to include estimated levies for 2017-2021. A
new development was that staff received good news about the future of park maintenance fees at
Edinborough and Centennial Lakes Park that means it is less likely the City will have to levy in the future to
replace this revenue. Levies previously estimated for this purpose have been removed.
The updated budget options for Council to consider are:
Option A2 Staff Recommendation: 7.07% levy increase for 2016 with estimates for 2017-2021. The
Council can approve this option by adopting the attached Resolution 2015-121.
Option B1: 6.12% levy increase for 2016 with permanent General Fund service cuts equivalent to
$180K in expenditures, permanent fee increases equivalent to $30K in revenue, and one-time shifts
of $70K. The Council can approve this option by adopting an alternative resolution and directing
staff to prepare a full budget with expenditure reductions based on the reduced levy. The Council
will likely want to adopt a budget amendment resolution in early 2016 so that the budget will be
balanced, with revenues equaling expenditures. According to MN State Statute 412.731, statutory
Plan B city budget amendments require a 4/5 majority vote.
Staff continue to recommend the first option, approve the September 1 preliminary budget as proposed.

Resolution 2015-131
Calling for Public Hearing for 66 West Tax Increment Financing District
Information / Background:
In November 2014, the City Council granted final approvals for the proposed 66 West Apartments.
Located at 3330 W. 66th Street, this redevelopment and expansion of an aging professional building
will create 39-units of affordably-priced housing for young adults who were formerly homeless.
Subsequently, the City Council approved Resolution 2015-48 and the Edina Housing and
Redevelopment Authority approved HRA Resolution 2015-01 to show full support for the proposed
project, including a potential grant for $550,000. The grant funds will come from the Southdale 2 TIF
District using special state legislation for affordable-housing projects in Edina.
Commitments from all funding sources have recently been secured. The City of Edina and Edina
HRA will need to consider the creation of a new Tax Increment Financing District to enable the
financial grant.
This Resolution acts on the request of the Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority and calls for
a Public Hearing on February 16, 2016 so that this proposal can be fully considered. The costs
associated with the related studies will be borne by the developer (Beacon Interfaith Housing).

Paulson Memo

TO: Ross Bintner

Kevin Staunton
FROM: Jeff Paulson
RE: Public Statements Regarding CSG Project
DATE: December 5, 2015
I understand there has been some concern raised about the provision in the proposed lease
for the community solar garden facility which references REC ownership by Xcel and limitations
on the ability of Edina to make statements that may adversely affect Xcel’s rights in that respect.
This memo is intended to explain those limitations, which are fairly narrow, and to allay any
concern.
Renewable energy credits and similar carbon offset products (RECs) arise with and from
the generation of electricity from eligible renewable energy sources, including solar. They are,
however, severable from the electricity from which they arise and can be sold, transferred, and
used separately by buyers to meet legal requirements for renewable generation or to claim they
are offsetting their non-renewable electric usage. Xcel is subject to a Minnesota statutory
mandate that it utilize or acquire a percentage of its overall generation from renewable resources
and a specific requirement for solar. To meet this requirement, it can own and operate solar
generation, or buy solar power from third parties, but the solar power purchased must include the
RECs to meet Xcel’s mandate. Otherwise they are just buying electricity without the associated
attribute that allows them to call it “green” or “renewable” energy.
In its community solar garden (CSG) program, Xcel pays residential subscribers
$0.03/kWh and commercial subscribers $0.02/kWh for RECs associated with the energy of their
subscription, well above market. While selling their RECs to Xcel is not required of subscribers,
that payment is often the difference between making the subscription a positive economic
experience or a loss.
The agencies which monitor RECs are largely concerned with possible double-counting
of RECs; the use by multiple parties of the same RECs to meet obligations or make public claims
about their use of green energy. Since RECs are a tool to promote renewable generation,
preventing this double-counting promotes more renewable generation. To preserve the sanctity
of REC ownership and limit double-counting, only one person can claim and own a REC; to
preserve their ownership and right to exclusive REC use and credit, owners and registries
prohibit non-owners from also claiming ownership of the RECS or similar claims.
At the heart of this prohibition is not allowing a second person to claim that they are
receiving or using “renewable” energy with respect to the electricity from a generation source if
they do not also own the associated RECs. In the case of Edina’s proposed CSG, those
prohibited statements would include (i) any claim that the City is acquiring or using “green” or
“renewable” energy from the CSG at its Public Works Building or to meet its City electric load,
or (ii) that the City is offsetting its non-green electrical usage with the solar or green energy from
the CSG. The same is true for subscribers: they cannot claim they are directly offsetting their
2
electrical usage with green energy. These statements would only be true if the City ro subscriber
owned the RECs.
This does not prevent Edina from making all sorts of other accurate and general
statements about its efforts to promote solar energy in the City through the CSG, and the results
of that effort. For example, it is acceptable to say:
1) The city is supporting the development of the solar array/CSG to promote increased
use of solar/renewable energy in Edina, and to provide opportunities for local subscribers
to participate in, and benefit from, that effort;
2) The CSG will increase the presence of local renewable generation in Edina and assist
Xcel in its efforts to increase its renewable energy generation portfolio and reduce Xcel’s
overall carbon footprint;
3) City and resident subscribers will benefit from the CSG through receipt of bill credits
directly associated with the electricity produced by the CSG.
You can take credit for almost everything about the development and effect of the CSG,
except that you cannot claim to be directly offsetting your electrical usage or subscribers’
electrical usage with the solar or renewable energy from the array.
This should leave plenty of room for public statements explaining the City’s leadership
role in promoting the growth of locally-sited renewables.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and the mutual promises
and other consideration set forth below, the adequacy and receipt of which is acknowledged,
Lessor and Lessee agree as follows:
ARTICLE I. Premises
Section 1.1 General
(a) Lessor leases to Lessee and Lessee leases from Lessor the real property legally
described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Premises”) for the purposes of (i)
monitoring, testing and assessing the Premises for solar photovoltaic energy
generation, and (ii) developing, constructing, installing, operating and maintaining
photovoltaic electric energy generating equipment, supporting structures and
ballasts, inverters, electrical transformers, fixtures, electric distribution and
transmission lines, communication lines, metering equipment, interconnection
facilities and related facilities and equipment (collectively, the “Facility”) on the
Premises and Transmission Premises. Lessee’s rights under this Lease with
respect to the Premises shall be exclusive and Lessor acknowledges that Lessor
may not grant any other person or entity any such rights.
(b) Lessee shall use the Premises only for the evaluation, development, construction,
installation, maintenance, and operation of the Facility. Any improvements,
fixtures or structures other than the Facility shall not be installed without the
express written consent of Lessor. Subject to Section 4.6, Lessee shall also be
entitled to ingress and egress to and from its Facility and appurtenant equipment
and electrical power lines and Lessor grants Lessee an access easement (“Access
Easement”) through that portion of the Lessor Property identified on Exhibit A as
the “Access Premises” for purposes of Lessee’s access to the Facility on the
Premises.
(c) Lessor grants Lessee an easement on and through that portion of the Lessor
Property described in Exhibit A (the “Transmission Premises”) for the purpose of
installing, operating and maintaining an electric distribution line and related
communication lines between the Facility and electrical facilities owned by NSP
at the NSP Interconnection Point. Lessor shall not plant trees, excavate, install
improvements, or otherwise undertake activities within the Transmission
Premises which will interfere with Lessee’s electric or distribution facilities.
(d) Prior to construction of the Facility, subject to Section 4.6, Lessee may engage in
assessment, development and design activities on the Premises, including, but not
limited to (i) feasibility studies, including measurement of sunlight or solar energy
potential and other meteorological data; (ii) design, siting and analysis of
proposed Facility; and (iii) such other tests, analysis or studies as may be required
by permitting agencies or as Lessee deems advisable including analysis of
Lessee’s electrical system. Lessee may install one or more measuring devices on
the Premises as necessary to measure its solar characteristics.
(e) Lessee reserves the right to relocate or reconfigure the Facility upon the PW
Building during the term of this Lease, subject to Lessor’s approval if relocation
or reconfiguration materially affects the PW Building or its use by Lessor or
continuing compliance of the Facility with all requirements of this Lease. Lessor
shall retain the right to use that portion of the Premises, PW Building, and Lessor
Property not occupied by the Facility to the extent its use is consistent with
Sections 1.2 and 5.2, for all purposes. Lessee agrees to cooperate with Lessor to
locate the Facility on the Premises in a manner that minimizes interference with
the activities of Lessor and the operation of the PW Building. In this respect,
Lessor agrees to provide Lessee with any information needed to locate the Facility
to reduce the effect on Lessor and the PW Building, including electrical plans,
plot layouts, and similar data.
(f) Lessor shall provide Lessee with copies of the plans and specifications in its
possession for the roof and related structural components of the PW Building
necessary for Lessee to design its Facility. Lessor shall not be obligated to create
any new plans or specifications. The Facility shall be designed so as to not
overload or unduly stress the structural or roof components, or otherwise
adversely affect the functionality, of the PW Building and shall comply with all
Applicable Laws. Lessor shall have the right to review Lessee’s proposed design
and specifications in order to identify any potential adverse effects on the PW
Building or costs to Lessor and to suggest modifications which will reduce or
eliminate such costs or effects.
Section 1.2 Solar Easement
(a) Lessor hereby grants Lessee an exclusive easement to use all sunlight which
naturally arrives at the Premises, including an exclusive easement prohibiting any
obstruction to the free flow of sunlight to the Premises throughout the entire area
of the Lessor Property described on Exhibit B (the “Easement Premises”), which
shall consist horizontally three hundred and sixty degrees (360º) from any point
where any photovoltaic generating facility is or may be located at any time from
time to time (each such location referred to as a “Solar Site”) and for a distance
from each Solar Site to the boundaries of the Easement Premises, together
vertically through all space located above the surface of the Easement Premises,
that is, one hundred eighty degrees (180º) or such greater number or numbers of
degrees as may be necessary to extend from each point on and along a line drawn
along the plane from each point along the exterior boundary of the Easement
Premises through each Solar Site to each point and on and along such line to the
opposite exterior boundary of the Easement Premises. Trees, structures and
improvements located on the Easement Premises as of the date of this Lease shall
be allowed to remain and Lessee may not require their removal. Lessor may not
place or plant any trees, structures or improvements on the Easement Premises
after the date of this Lease which may, in Lessee’s reasonable judgment, impede,
diminish or interfere with the receipt of sunlight at any Solar Site, unless Lessor
has received approval from Lessee for installation of any such trees, structure or
improvement. In the event Lessor places or plants trees, structures or
improvements on the Easement Premises which violate the provisions of this
Section 1.2, Lessee may notify Lessor and request removal of the applicable tree,
structure or improvement, or modification thereof to comply with this Section 1.2,
within thirty (30) days.
(b) Lessor further grants to Lessee an easement and license for the Facility to create,
cause, increase, accentuate, or otherwise contribute to the occurrence of light,
shadows, shadow and light flickering, glare and reflection, on and across the
Premises and Lessor Property, and Lessor waives and releases any claims or
causes of action arising from or related to the occurrence of any such events.
ARTICLE II. Lease Term
Section 2.1 Lease Term. The term of this Lease shall commence upon the date it is executed
and delivered by both Parties and continue until the date that is twenty-five (25)
years from the Commencement Date (as defined below) unless terminated earlier
in accordance with its terms (“Term”).
Section 2.2 Termination of Lease
The occurrence of any of the following events shall terminate this Lease:
(a) The expiration of the Term as set forth in Section 2.1; or

ARTICLE III. Rent and Taxes
Section 3.1 Rent
(a) Lessee shall pay Lessor an amount annually as Rent for the period of time
between the date of this Lease and the Commencement Date as set forth in
Exhibit C. The “Commencement Date” shall be the first day of the first full
month after the Facility commences commercial production and sale of electricity
on the Premises under the PPA. The Commencement Date shall occur prior to
December 31, 2016. If the Commencement Date does not occur by that date,
except as such period may be extended by Force Majeure or agreement of the
Parties, either Lessee or Lessor shall have the option to terminate the Lease, in
which case neither Lessee nor Lessor shall have any further obligations under this
Lease and Lessee shall have no further obligation to pay Rent to Lessor. All Rent
obligations arising under this Lease shall be prorated for any partial year.
(b) The twelve (12) month periods beginning with the Commencement Date and each
anniversary of the Commencement Date shall each be a Lease Year. Beginning
with the Commencement Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor an annual rental
payment as set forth in Exhibit D (together with payments due prior to the

days after the Commencement Date. On each anniversary of the Commencement
Date, Lessee shall pay Lessor the annual Rent due in advance for the following
Lease Year.
Section 3.3 Taxes, Assessments and Utilities
(a) Lessor shall pay, when due, all real property taxes and assessments levied against
the Lessor Property and Premises and all personal property taxes and assessments
levied against the PW Building or any other personal property on the Lessor
Property. Subject to Section 3.3 (c), if Lessor shall fail to pay any such taxes or
assessments when due, Lessee may, at its option, pay those taxes and assessments

(b) Lessee shall pay all personal property and other taxes and assessments levied
against the Facility when due including any equipment or property within the
Access Premises or Transmission Premises. If the Lessor Property or Premises
experiences any increase in the amount of real property taxes assessed against it
as a result of the installation of the Facility on the Premises, including any
reclassification of the Lessor Property or Premises pursuant to Minn. Stat. Section
272.02, subd. 24 (2013) or otherwise, Lessee shall pay or reimburse Lessor an
amount equal to the increase caused by the Facility no later than ten (10) days
prior to the date each year on which the applicable real estate taxes are due to be
paid by Lessor, provided that not less than thirty (30) days prior to such due date
Lessor provides Lessee with copies of the applicable current and past statements
of real estate taxes payable for the Lessor Property or Premises and any related
information demonstrating the increase was caused by the Facility and the amount
of the increase.
(c) Either Party may contest the validity or amount of any levied taxes, assessments
or other charges for which each is responsible under this Lease as long as such
contest is pursued in good faith and with due diligence and the Party contesting
the tax, assessment or charge has paid the obligation in question or established
adequate reserves to pay the obligation in the event of an adverse determination.
(d) Lessee shall pay for all water, electric, telecommunications and any other utility
services used by the Facility or Lessee on the Premises.
Section 3.4 Interconnection of Electrical Facilities
Lessee shall interconnect the Facility with NSP at the location and in the manner
described in Exhibit B (“NSP Interconnection Point”) unless otherwise required
by NSP. Lessee will not be allowed to interconnect with the electrical system of
the PW Building or of Lessor on the Lessor Property. As between Lessor and
Lessee, Lessee shall be responsible for all costs of designing, procuring,
installing, maintaining and operating any equipment or facilities necessary to
interconnect the Facility at the NSP Interconnection Point, and to permit the
receipt, transmission, and delivery of the electricity produced by the Facility to
NSP. Lessee shall design, install, operate and maintain all interconnection
facilities and equipment, meters and other electrical equipment so as to prevent
any adverse effect on Lessor, the PW Building or Lessor’s operations and
activities on the Lessor Property.
Section 3.5 Disclaimer of Title to Environmental Attributes
(a) Lessor agrees that all Environmental Attributes, as defined in Exhibit E,
remain the property of Lessee irrespective of whether Lessor consumes or uses
any of the electricity generated by the Facility, and Lessor has no title or right to
any such Environmental Attributes related to, arising from or associated with the
Facility or any electrical capacity or energy created by the Facility.
(b) As between the Parties, any grant, rebate, incentive payment, bill credit,
tax credit or any other cash or tax benefit arising from or associated with the
installation or ownership of the Facility or the production of energy and capacity
by the Facility, shall enure to the exclusive benefit of Lessee, including, but not
limited to, any production tax credit or investment tax credit pursuant to 26
U.S.C. Sections 45 and 48 or similar state tax law provisions; the made-in-
Minnesota rebates pursuant to Minn. Stat. Section 116C.7791 (2013); the rebates
available through NSP’s “Solar Rewards” program and bill credits arising under
NSP’s community solar garden tariffs or program. Lessor shall cooperate with
Lessee in any applications for such benefits or credits to the extent Lessor’s
participation is necessary for eligibility, and if any such program or benefit
requires the Lessor to be the recipient, Lessor agrees to assign or reimburse any
such amounts received to Lessee.
Section 3.7 Community Solar Garden.
(a) The Parties agree that the Facility is intended to qualify as a community solar
garden (“CSG”) pursuant to Minn. Stat. Section 216B.1641 (2013), orders of the
Minnesota Public Utilities Commission in Docket No. E-002/M-13-867 or related
dockets, applicable NSP tariffs, and all related orders, regulations and
interpretations, in each case as modified and amended (“CSG Laws”). As a
condition precedent to Lessor’s obligation to allow commencement of
construction of the Facility under this Lease, Lessee shall submit an application to
NSP pursuant to the CSG Laws, within 10 days after execution and delivery of
this Lease and completion of the necessary structural engineering and sizing
design for the Facility, for approval of the Facility as a CSG in accordance with
the CSG Laws and for interconnection, and shall receive such approval from NSP,
including approval of interconnection of the Facility with NSP at the NSP Point
of Interconnection, prior to September 15, 2016.
(b) Lessor agrees to cooperate with any application by Lessor for approval of the
Facility as a CSG or for interconnection of the Facility by providing information
within its possession, custody and control.
(c) Lessee shall seek subscribers to participate in the Facility as a CSG from
residential NSP customers residing in Edina, and shall provide a preference for
such residents to become subscribers conditioned on the potential subscriber’s
eligibility under the CSG Laws and execution and delivery of a subscription
agreement with Lessee. Subscription agreements with Edina residents shall not
require the subscriber to pay the entire cost of the subscription in advance, but
shall provide for subscribers to pay for their allocation of bill credits on a monthly
basis as such credits are received and in proportion to the amount of credits
created and received. Subscription agreements shall also provide for a minimum
annual production guarantee and other terms consistent with Lessee’s proposal
submitted to and selected by Lessor, and Lessor shall be entitled to review
proposed or executed subscription agreements to ascertain such consistency.
Lessee shall provide a mechanism for substitute or replacement subscribers to
minimize any difference between the capacity of the Facility and the subscribed
capacity upon the departure of any subscribers, including, but not limited to, a
subscription agreement with one or more subscribers who can absorb such
available subscription capacity. Lessee and Lessor shall agree on a form for a
subscription agreement within 30 days of execution of this Lease. Lessee’s
subscription agreements with Edina residents shall not be amended or modified
after execution and delivery in a manner inconsistent with such proposed terms.
(d) In the event Lessee is unable to fully subscribe the Facility with Edina
residents within six months after commencing its subscription marketing, Lessee
shall be entitled to accept subscribers from NSP commercial customers located in
Edina for another three months and then, if subscription capacity remains unfilled,
any other eligible NSP customers.
ARTICLE IV. Lessee’s Covenants
Lessee covenants, represents and warrants to Lessor as follows:
Section 4.1 Liens
Lessee shall keep the Premises and Lessor Property free and clear of all liens and
claims of liens for labor, materials, services, supplies and equipment performed
on or furnished to Lessee or the Facility on the Premises, Access Premises, or
Transmission Premises, or in connection with Lessee’s use of the Premises,
Access Premises, or Transmission Premises. Lessee may contest any such lien,
but shall post a bond or utilize other available means to remove any lien that is

(a) The Facility and related equipment constructed, installed or placed on the Premises
and within the Transmission Premises by Lessee pursuant to this Lease shall be the
sole property of Lessee, and Lessor shall have no ownership or other interest in the
Facility and related equipment owned by Lessee on the Premises or within the
Transmission Premises. The Facility is and shall remain personalty of the Lessee,
notwithstanding any present or future common ownership of the Facility and the
Premises, and irrespective of whether any of the Facility is deemed to be a fixture
or otherwise part of the Lessor Property or PW Building, and Lessor acknowledges
that the Facility is and shall remain personal property of Lessee irrespective of the
manner of its attachment or connection to the Lessor Improvements. Lessor
acknowledges that Lenders may request a first priority security interest in the
Facility as collateral for financing of the Facility, and Lessor consents to the grant
by Lessee of such a security interest, and the filing of instruments necessary to
perfect such a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code in the Facility
as personal property of the Lessee.
(b) Throughout the Term Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain Lessee’s
Facility in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Any portion
of the Facility constructed, installed or placed on the Premises or Transmission
Premises by Lessee pursuant to this Lease may be replaced, repaired or refurbished
by Lessee at any time. At the end of the Term, including any termination of the
Lease, Lessee shall remove the Facility within three (3) months from the date the
Term expires or the Lease terminates. If Lessee fails to remove any portion of the
Facility within the required time period, that portion of the Facility shall be
considered abandoned by Lessee and Lessor may remove that portion of the Facility
from the Premises and dispose of it in its sole discretion without notice or liability
to Lessee. In the event Lessee fails to remove any of the Facility as required, and
Lessor removes any portion of the Facility at Lessor’s expense, Lessee shall
reimburse Lessor for all reasonable costs of removing that portion of the Facility as
required by the Lease, less any salvage or resale value received by Lessor, within
thirty days after receipt of an invoice from Lessor.
(c) Lessee shall use reasonable care in the installation and construction of the Facility
so as to avoid damage to the PW Building and Lessor Property and risk of injury to
Lessor’s employees, customers, tenants, guests and invitees. Lessee shall secure its
equipment, interests and supplies during construction, and remove any construction
debris on a regular basis.
Section 4.4 Hazardous Wastes
Lessee shall not use, store, dispose of or release on the Premises or Lessor Property
or cause or permit to exist or be used, stored, disposed of or released on the
Premises as a result of Lessee’s activities, any Hazardous Substances, except in
such quantities as may be required in its normal business operations and only if
such use is not harmful to Lessor and is in full compliance with all Environmental
Laws.
Section 4.5 Insurance
(a) Lessee shall obtain and maintain in force the policies of insurance covering the
Facility and Lessee’s activities on the Premises and Lessor Property at all times
during the Term as described in Exhibit D. Such insurance coverage for the
Facility, Premises, Access Premises and Transmission Premises may be provided
as part of a blanket policy that covers other facilities or properties as well.
(b) Lessor shall procure and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance or
self-insure with respect to the Lessor Property and PW Building, including
coverage for property damage and bodily injury or death to any person.
Section 4.6 Notice of Access
Without limiting or reducing the rights of access granted to Lessee pursuant to the
Access Easement and this Lease, to the extent Lessee’s access to the Facility can
only be accomplished by entry to, on, or through or over the Lessor Property and
PW Building, Lessee agrees to give Lessor reasonable notice before any entry in,
through or over the Lessor Property or PW Building by Lessee or its agents,
employees and contractors. Lessee and its agents, employees and contractors
shall comply with any reasonable safety and security instructions of Lessor while
present on the Premises, the Access Premises or the Transmission Premises. The
Parties will agree on mutually acceptable locations and means by which Lessee
may access the Facility and Premises.
Section 4.7 PW Building Roof
With respect to the roof of the PW Building on which any portion of the Facility
is located, Lessee shall be responsible for the costs to repair or replace any roof
membrane or other components damaged or adversely affected by installation of
the Facility at Lessee’s expense. Lessor represents that the roof was installed in
2010 and that the expected life of the current roof is 30 years. In the event that
any portion of the roof requires repair or replacement during the Term and the
repair or replacement will require the movement or disconnection of any portion
of the Facility, Lessor and Lessee agree to cooperate to minimize the dislocation
or disconnection of the affected Facility and the duration of any such relocation or
disconnection and to use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule such work
for periods when solar energy production is lowest. Rent shall be abated for the
period, and to the extent of, any such relocation or disconnection.
ARTICLE V. Lessor Covenants
Lessor covenants, represents and warrants to Lessee as follows:
Section 5.1 Title and Authority
Lessor is the sole owner of the Lessor Property, PW Building, Easement Premises
and Premises in fee simple and each person or entity signing the Lease on behalf
of Lessor has the full and unrestricted authority to execute and deliver this Lease
and to grant the easements and rights granted herein. All persons having any
ownership interest in the Lessor Property, PW Building, Easement Premises and
Premises are signing this Lease as Lessor. When signed by Lessor, this Lease
constitutes a valid and binding agreement enforceable against Lessor in
accordance with its terms. There are no encumbrances or liens against the Lessor
Property or Premises except as recorded with the County Recorder for Hennepin
County. Lessor agrees to deliver any documents necessary to correct any title
defects which would, if not corrected, adversely affect Lessee’s rights hereunder
or its ability to obtain and maintain financing of the Facility.
Section 5.2 Quiet Enjoyment
Lessee shall have the quiet use and enjoyment of the Premises, Easement
Premises, Access Premises and Transmission Premises in accordance with the
terms of this Lease without any interference of any kind by Lessor or any person
claiming through Lessor. Lessor and its activities on the Premises, Access

report, market and otherwise receive credit for the creation of electricity using the
Facility. Lessor agrees not to publicize, report, market or otherwise take credit for
the creation or use of the Environmental Attributes or electricity from the Facility
in any manner which would interfere with the Lessee’s rights to such
Environmental Attributes or diminish the value of Lessee’s Environmental
Attributes. Lessor and Lessee shall cooperate to identify appropriate public
statements which Lessor may use regarding the Facility that will not interfere with
Lessee’s Environmental Attributes.
ARTICLE VI. Indemnification
Section 6.1 Indemnification
(a) Each Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to defend, indemnify and hold
harmless the other Party and the other Party’s elected and appointed officials,
officers, directors, employees, representatives, and agents (collectively the
“Indemnified Party”) against any and all losses, damages, claims, expenses and
liabilities for physical damage to property and for physical injury to any person,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees (“Damages”), to the
extent resulting from or arising out of (i) any operations or activities of the
Indemnifying Party on the Lessor Property or Premises; (ii) any negligent or
intentional act or omission on the part of the Indemnifying Party; or (iii) any
breach of this Lease by the Indemnifying Party. Nothing in this Section shall
relieve Lessor or Lessee of any liability to the other for any breach of the Lease.
This indemnification obligation shall apply notwithstanding any negligent or
intentional acts, errors or omissions of the indemnities but the Indemnifying
Party’s liability to pay damages to the Indemnified Party shall be reduced in
proportion to the percentage by which the indemnities negligent or intentional
acts, errors or omissions caused the Damages. Neither Party shall be indemnified
for its Damages resulting from its sole negligence or intentional wrongful acts.
These indemnity provisions shall not be construed to relieve any insurer of its
obligations to pay claims consistent with the provisions of a valid insurance
policy. This indemnification provision shall survive the expiration or termination
of this Lease.
(b) Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessor and its elected and
appointed officials, officers, employees and agents against any and all suits,
actions, response actions, orders, losses, damages, civil or criminal penalties, fees,
costs, expenses, claims or liabilities (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees
and expenses) arising out of, or in connection with, the release (or alleged release)
of any Hazardous Substances introduced to or handled on the Lessor Property by
Lessee or its contractors, suppliers, or agents, or violations (or alleged violations)
of any Environmental Laws by the Lessee or its officers, employees, agents,
contractors or suppliers, including without limitation, with respect to damage to

shall not be responsible for any Damages to the extent attributable to Hazardous
Substances present on the Lessor Property prior to the Effective Date or
introduced or handled by Lessor or its agents, contractors and representatives.
Section 6.2 Damage to Lessor Improvements
In the event Lessor suffers damage to the Lessor Property or any improvements
on the Lessor Property during Lessee’s construction, installation, operation and
maintenance of the Facility on the Premises, Access Premises, and Transmission
Premises. Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for the costs to repair or replace any
such damage or pay Lessor fair compensation for any such losses or damage.
ARTICLE VII. Assignment; Encumbrance of Lease
Section 7.1 Right to Encumber
(a) Lessee may at any time mortgage or encumber all or any part of its interest in the
Lease and rights under this Lease and/or enter into a collateral assignment of all
or any part of its interest in the Lease or rights under this Lease to any entity
providing equity or debt financing for the Facility (“Lender”) without the consent
of Lessor. Any Lender shall have no obligations under this Lease until such time
as it exercises its rights to acquire Lessee’s interests subject to the lien of Lender’s
mortgage by foreclosure or otherwise assumes the obligations of Lessee directly.
Lessee shall notify Lessor of the identity and notice address for any Lender.
(b) Lessor and Lessee agree that, once all or any part of Lessee’s interests in the
Lease are mortgaged or assigned to a Lender, they will not modify or terminate
this Lease without the prior written consent of the Lender. Lessee agrees to
cooperate with any Lender and agrees to negotiate in good faith with respect to
any modifications to this Lease which may be requested by any Lender.
(c) Lessor agrees that any Lender shall have the right to make any payment and to do
any other act or thing required to be performed by Lessee under this Lease, and
any such payment, act or thing performed by Lender shall be as effective to
prevent a default under this Lease and any forfeiture of any of Lessee’s rights
under this Lease as if done by Lessee itself.
(d) During the time all or any part of Lessee’s interests in the Lease are mortgaged or
assigned to any Lender, if Lessee defaults under any of its obligations and Lessor
is required to give Lessee notice of the default Lessor shall also be required to
give Lender notice of the default at the address provided by Lessor pursuant to
Section 7.1(a). If Lessor becomes entitled to terminate this Lease due to an
uncured default by Lessee, Lessor will not terminate this Lease unless it has first
given written notice of the uncured default and of its intent to terminate this Lease
to the Lender and has given the Lender at least thirty (30) days to cure the default
to prevent termination of this Lease. If within such thirty (30) day period the
Lender notifies the Lessor that it must foreclose on Lessee’s interest or otherwise
take possession of Lessee’s interest under this Lease in order to cure the default,
Lessor shall not terminate this Lease and shall permit the Lender a reasonable
period of time necessary for the Lender, with the exercise of due diligence, to
foreclose or acquire Lessee’s interest under this Lease and to perform or cause to
be performed all of the covenants and agreements to be performed and observed
by Lessee. The time within which Lender must foreclose or acquire Lessee’s
interest shall be extended to the extent Lender is prohibited by an order or
injunction issued by a court or the operation of any bankruptcy or insolvency law
from commencing or prosecuting the necessary foreclosure or acquisition. The
extension of time provided for foreclosure shall not apply to defaults consisting
solely of a failure to pay Rent or other amounts due Lessor.
(e) The acquisition of all or any part of Lessee’s interests in the Lease by any Lender
through foreclosure or other judicial or non-judicial proceedings in the nature of
foreclosure, or by any conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, shall not require the
consent of Lessor nor constitute a breach or default of this Lease by Lessee, and
upon the completion of the acquisition or conveyance Lessor shall acknowledge
and recognize Lender as Lessee’s proper successor under this Lease upon
Lender’s cure of any existing Lessee defaults and assumption of the obligations of
Lessee under this Lease prospectively.
(f) In the event this Lease is rejected by a trustee or a debtor-in-possession in any
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding Lessor agrees, upon request by any Lender
within thirty (30) days after the rejection or termination and subject to the
continuing qualification of the Facility as a CSG under the CSG Laws, to execute
and deliver to Lessee or Lender a new Lease for the Premises which (i) shall be
effective as of the date of the rejection or termination of this Lease, (ii) shall be
for a term equal to the remainder of the term of the Lease before giving effect to
such rejection or termination, and (iii) shall contain the same terms, covenants,
agreements, provisions, conditions and limitations as are contained in this Lease
(except for any obligations or requirements which have been fulfilled by Lessee
or Lender prior to rejection or termination). Prior to the execution and delivery of
any such new lease Lessee, or Lender shall (i) pay Lessor any amounts which are
due Lessor from Lessee, (ii) pay Lessor any and all amounts which would have
been due under this Lease but for the rejection or termination from the date of the
rejection or termination to the date of the new lease, (iii) agree in writing to
perform or cause to be performed all of the other covenants and agreements to be
performed by Lessee under this Lease to the extent Lessee failed to perform them
prior to the execution and delivery of the new lease; and (iv) confirm or
reestablish eligibility of the Facility as a CSG under the CSG Laws then in effect.
Section 7.2 Assignment
Lessee may not assign, sublease, transfer or convey any portion of its interests in
this Lease without the prior written consent of Lessor, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except for (i) assignment of its
rights in their entirety to an entity created to own and operate the Facility and
which is owned by Lessee, and (ii) any collateral assignment to a Lender as set
forth in Section 7.1(a). Lessor shall notify Lessee of any such assignment. Any
other such purported assignment, sublease, transfer or conveyance without the
required consent from Lessor shall be void.
Section 7.3 Continuing Nature of Obligations
(a) The solar easement and related rights granted by Lessor in this Lease to Lessee
are an easement in gross, representing interests personal to and for the benefit of
Lessee, its successors and assigns, as owner of the rights created by the easement.
The easement and other rights granted by Lessor in this Lease are independent of
any lands or estates or interest in lands, there is no other real property benefiting
from the solar easement and related rights granted in this Lease and, as between
the Premises and other tracts of property, no tract is considered dominant or
servient as to the other.
(b) The burdens of the solar easement and all other rights granted to Lessee in this
Lease shall run with and against the Premises and the Easement Premises and
shall be a charge and burden on the Premises and the Easement Premises and shall
be binding upon and against Lessor and its successors, assigns, permittees,
licensees, lessees, employees and agents. The Lease, including the solar
easement, shall inure to the benefit of Lessee and its permitted successors,
assigns, permittees, licensees and lessees. Lessor acknowledges that any sale or
conveyance of the Lessor Property or PW Building shall be subject to the
leasehold and easement interests of Lessee in this Lease.
ARTICLE VIII. Condemnation/Force Majeure
Section 8.1 Condemnation
If eminent domain proceedings are commenced against all or any portion of the
Premises, and the taking and proposed use of such property would prevent or
adversely affect Lessee’s construction, installation or operation of the Facility on
the Premises or related facilities, the Parties shall either amend this Lease to
reflect any necessary relocation of the Facility which will preserve the value and
benefit of the Lease to Lessee, together with any corresponding payments, or, at
Lessee’s option, this Lease may be terminated, provided that any such termination
shall not terminate Lessee’s rights to participate in any condemnation proceedings
or to any award in its favor as set forth in Section 8.2.
Section 8.2 Proceeds
All payments made by a condemnor on account of a taking by eminent domain
shall be the property of the Lessor, except that Lessee shall be entitled to any
award or amount paid for the reasonable costs of removing or relocating any of
the Facility or the loss of any of the Facility or the loss of use of the Premises
pursuant to the Lease. Lessee shall have the right to participate in any
condemnation proceedings to this extent. Lessee’s right to compensation as set
forth in this Section 8.2 shall survive the termination of this Lease or the taking by
the condemnor of possession of the Premises, Access Premises, Transmission
Premises, or Lessor Property.
Section 8.3 Force Majeure
Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall be liable to each other, or be permitted to
terminate this Lease, for any failure to perform an obligation of this Lease to the
extent such performance is prevented by a Force Majeure, which shall mean an
event beyond the control of the Party affected and which, by exercise of due
diligence and foresight, could not reasonably have been avoided, and includes, but
is not limited to, fire, earthquake, flood, hurricane, tornado, war, epidemics, riot
or civil strife, strikes or labor disputes, or the action by any governmental
authority to prohibit the performance of the applicable obligation for reasons not
attributable to the affected Party. The affected Party shall notify the other Party
of the occurrence of the Force Majeure and its effect on performance of the Lease
and shall take all reasonable efforts to remove or overcome the effects of the
Force Majeure preventing performance of its obligations under this Lease.
ARTICLE IX. Default/Termination
Section 9.1 Events of Default
(a) Subject to Section 7.1, each of the following shall constitute an event of
default that shall permit the non-defaulting Party to terminate this Lease or
pursue other remedies available at law or equity.
(i) any failure by Lessee to pay Rent if the failure to pay continues for thirty
(30) days after written notice from Lessor to Lessee and any Lender;
(ii) any failure by Lessee to obtain CSG approval from NSP for the Facility
by August 15, 2016 or to maintain the Facility’s eligibility under the
CSG Laws; or
(iii) any other material breach of this Lease by either Party which continues
for thirty (30) days after written notice of default from the non-
defaulting Party or, if the cure will take longer than thirty (30) days, the
length of time necessary to effect cure as long as the defaulting Party is
making diligent efforts to cure during that time.
(b) For all claims, causes of action and damages the Parties shall be entitled to the
recovery of actual damages allowed by law unless otherwise limited by the
Lease. Neither the enumeration of events of default in Section 9.1 nor the
termination of this Lease by a non-defaulting Party shall limit the right of a
non-defaulting Party to rights and remedies available at law, including, but not
limited to, claims for breach of contract or failure to perform by the other
Party and for direct damages incurred by the non-defaulting Party as a result
of the termination of this Lease.
Section 9.2 Surrender
Upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, Lessee shall peaceably surrender
the Premises to Lessor and remove the Facility from the Premises at Lessee’s
expense as required under Section 4.3 of this Lease.
Section 9.3 Specific Performance
Lessor acknowledges and agrees that should Lessor breach any of its obligations
hereunder or otherwise fail to permit Lessee to exercise any of the rights and
privileges granted herein, damages would be difficult to calculate and money
damages would not be sufficient to compensate Lessee for such breach. As a
result, Lessee shall have the right to seek specific enforcement of this Lease. In
that event, Lessor agrees that Lessee has no adequate remedy at law.
Section 9.4 No Consequential Damages
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, neither Lessee nor Lessor
shall be entitled to, and each of them expressly waives, any and all rights to
recover consequential, incidental, punitive, indirect or exemplary damages,
including, but not limited to, loss of use, loss of revenues, loss of profit, interest
charges, or cost of capital, however arising, whether in contract, tort, equity or
otherwise, with respect to any claim, action or damages arising from or in
connection with this Lease.

action in any person not a Party to this Lease.

not be deemed a waiver with respect to any subsequent or other matter.

several and not joint or collective. This Lease shall not be interpreted or
construed to create an association, joint venture, fiduciary relationship or

together with the lower limit primary underlying coverage. The structure of the coverage is
Lessee’s option, as long as the total amount of insurance meets the requirements of this
Lease.
4. The policies required of Lessee shall be "occurrence" form policies. Lessee may not use

Letter to the Mayor
Racial tension has been building and all American cities are now 'time bombs' waiting to explode.
American Slave Inc. and DAS (Descendants of American Slaves) have, over the past 6 years, formulated a solid plan to
solve the very real problems facing American Cities.
Talk to us....today.
Greetings Mayor
Would you support unique ethnicity for Descendants of American Slaves (DAS)?
How? DAS as an option on the 2020 Census
Descendants of American Slaves Racial Uniqueness — Born and bred exclusively in America to serve white Americans.
This is unique and a simple truth that cannot be disputed.
We cannot act like Descendants of American Slaves do not exist.
We cannot forever turn our back on the history of Slavery in the US.
To heal we must all face the truth so we can move forward, together, in unity, for a better America.
Descendants of American Slaves have made slow progress in the economic arena compared to other minority groups in
the US.
The after effects of slavery is a residual disorder that is growing, unstable and is seemingly encouraged to fester
unimpeded.
Because of misplaced shame, openly discussing slavery is painful to many and a taboo topic even in circles where this
type of dialogue in necessary to ensure the stability of our country.
1
If allowed to worsen unchecked, simmering racial discontentment could turn into a racial crisis, if it has not already done
so.
Being of recent origin, Descendants of Slaves understanding and perception is different from that of ethnic groups that
have thousands of years of development.
Given the fact that our tribe was only recently initiated into the human race during the period of American Slavery, we
have an immature understanding in regards to civilised evolution. We haven't learned how to compile a history that's
stable enough to build our nation's future upon.
We should hate to think that the suffering our fore parents went through was for nought.
Descendants of Slaves are not foreigners or Africans who have been certified as African Americans through the
immigration department. We are a group of confused, unaware people who have been left alone to fend for ourselves
with no social order in place to guide us internally
Please contact us ASAP so we can talk

Consuming nearly 80% of overall energy and responsible for up to 70% of global energy-related GHG
emissions, cities are major contributors to climate change. At the same time, cities offer enormous
potential for emission reductions; making them vital actors in addressing climate change.
The way energy is produced and used in cities substantially influences cities' climate footprint. With
half of cities' energy consumption occurring in the building sector, increasing energy efficiency in
public and private buildings and using renewable energies are key factors for climate friendly and
sustainable urban development. Yet, energy-smart urban development goes further: Efficient and
sustainable urban infrastructures and services as well as urban design also influence the local energy
demand, help to limit global warming and, furthermore, contribute to the creation of liveable cities.
This side event highlights options for climate-friendly, resource-efficient urban development solutions,
focussing especially — yet not exclusively — on the housing and energy sector. It aims at presenting
and discussing policies and practices which provide for decoupling urban growth from energy use and

Subject; Proposed Property Taxes for 2016
The proposed taxes on our home for 2016 are going up $1,049.96 which is 26%
This is way out of line.
Our government tells us the rate of inflation is very low.
So low in fact, that people on Social Security will not get an increase in their amount for
2016 because the inflation is so low.
The interest rate paid by banks is near zero---
Our property taxes are going up 26%---this has to be stopped.
I live in a block of "Twin Homes" and have talked to some of our homer owners'
association members, and they are also very up set with this increase.
Please work with us and get this—"Way out of line increase" stopped.
Please contact me with your thoughts on this subject.

Minnesota's projected budget surplus grows
to $1.87 billion
By Ricardo Lopez DECEMBER 3, 2015 — 9:25AM
The states projected budget surplus grew to $1.87 billion, the Minnesota Management
and Budget Office reported Thursday
Minnesota budget officials issued a brief summary of the state budget and economic
forecast, a twice-yearly snapshot of the state's budget, factoring in the latest trends in the
state and local economy.
Legislators will have $1.2 billion available, after $665 million is automatically diverted
to the state's rainy day fund, under current law.
Since February, when the state budget agency released its most recent forecast, the
state's economy has performed well and mostly met expectations.
There are signs of weakness, however; the pace of hiring has slowed in recent months,
the housing market has been stymied by a significant share of underwater mortgage
loans and the state's manufacturing sector has softened. Minnesota has added nearly
24,000 jobs in the past year, a growth rate of 0.8 percent —well below the U.S. growth
rate of 1.9 percent over the same period.
The states jobless rate in October was 3.7 percent the same as the previous October—
but it remains well below the national average.
Budget officials will provide an overview of the forecast at 11:15 Thursday morning,
followed by reaction to the report by Gov. Mark Dayton and legislative leaders.

From: Maurice Dixon
This is a follow up to my letter dated Nov. 30, 2015 regarding the $1, 049, 96 (26%)
increase in our home taxes.( copy enclosed)
In addition to the 2, points I made regarding no Social Security increase due to no/ low
inflation and zero percent interest rates from our banks—we are not told that our state
will have a 1.87 BILLOIN dollar surplus.
I did get a call as a follow up from Hennepin Co.( Not from anyone from Edina I might
add).—They told me the reason for the increase may be because our home Market Value
went up $60.000 and our Homestead Exclusion, went down $5,400.
This will affect our entire block and I would like to ask –Who sets these prices and how
do they arrive at them79977
I would like to ask you –our mayor and our city council to put a stop to these increases.
I will call Mr. Hovland to discuss this matter.
Thank you.

Subject: Affordable Housing
The November 2015 Edition:Edina discussed the Affordable Housing Policy adopted in October by the Edina City Council.
The policy standard is that 10% of new rental and for-sale multi-unit developments that are the result of rezoning must
be "affordable".
"Affordable" housing is identified as that which can be paid for by a person whose income is 60 per cent or less of the
area's median gross income. For Edina the median gross income is stated as being $51,960/year for a family of four.
$31,176, or 60 per cent, is the maximum yearly gross a person could earn and still qualify for "affordable" housing. Of
note is that a person earning $15.59/hour, working 40 hours/week and 50 weeks/year would have a gross income of
"$31,180/year.
The Home Section of the 6 December 2015 Star Tribune listed the 3rd quarter 2015 summary for rental properties in the
Twin Cities and surrounding area. For the northwest, west and southwest suburbs, which includes Edina, the average
rent for a three bedroom was $1,450/month. The average rent for a three bedroom in Edina was quoted in the
Edition:Edina as $2,280/month.
"Affordable" housing is identified as that where a person would pay 60% of the average market rental rate. At
$2,280/month the yearly rent would be $16,416 or 52.7% of the qualifying gross income. Yes, Edina is an expensive city
for rental housing.
A serious discussion is felt necessary to re-evaluate the Affordable Housing Policy to determine if, and how, a family of
four could afford to live in the non "subsidized" housing in Edina after the myriad of non-rent expenses are deducted
form the qualifying gross income.
More than just those working in the service industry or those who are in the beginnings of their careers are involved
and may be looking for "affordable" housing in Edina in the future.

Subject: Re: Common Sense for Edina - The Minnesota Veterans Preference Act (VPA)
I have to agree with David. As a veteran, I find it very interesting that when it comes to making political hay,
elected officials are quick to jump on the bandwagon with the slogan "Support our troops" and now people are
saying "thanks for your service". However, in reality, it's just words unless there are actions to support that
sentiment. We are already seeing a high unemployment rate for returning veterans and if veterans are not
provided any preferences for putting their lives on the line for this nation and our own local governments do not
walk the talk, then these are truly empty words. When we as Viet Nam veterans returned home we were treated
with less than respect. It was a different time but I was hopeful that with the current sentiment of supporting our
veterans for their service that we had turned the corner on the respect that should be given for those that have
served their country. I would hope that the city government of Edina would give this issue some additional
thought and do the right thing in generating a policy that provides a hiring preference to veterans. As a city, it
will say a lot about being "thankful for our service". Thank you for your consideration.

The city of Edina has no formal veterans hiring preference which may be in violation of State law i.e. the VPA

preference similar to other communities like Minneapolis, St Paul, Richfield, Bloomington, Eden Prairie,
Minnetonka and a list of other communities.
Today marks the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec 7, 1941. To honor veterans I would again
suggest the City of Edina take action to further honor the sacrifice of veterans and have a veterans hiring
preference.

If someone has served active duty for 180 days with an honorable or general discharge, you take the civil service
test. If you get a passing grade and you're a vet, you get 10 points. If you're a disabled vet you get an extra 5
points, so a total of 15 points. The civil service test is based on 100 points.
For city, county, state and federal agencies, the law isn't optional.
At least one city, St. Paul, has been sued for misinterpreting the law.

Re: Street project Morningside Neighborhood
Dear Mr. Milner:
Thank you for the presentation and update about the street project in and around my home at 4064
Sunnyside Rd, Edina.
I was the resident that suggested a trial of the bump-outs proposed to narrow the street at the corner of
Grimes and Sunnyside Rd. Another suggestion that came up while speaking with residents in the back of
the room was a trial of stop signs at this same corner and losing the stop signs at Arden.
It seems to me that there is a speed to a proposal (without considering alternatives and the testing of
the proposal) that will impact the needs, wants or desires of the residents and ultimately the quality of
life that we have enjoyed and moved to the area for. I would hope that the phrase "we can't do that
because "would be replaced with "let's try that as a solution and see what impact it can make."
While I have only attended the one meeting last night, from my observation the sentiment in the room
last night was that not many of the neighbors are on board with your proposal of bump-outs and
narrowing the roadways. I spoke with many of the residents that attended last night and for those of us
on Sunnyside, Curve and Grimes none were in favor of narrowing the road from its current widths to 27
feet. It is an un-necessary cost to the residents to narrow the roadways. Your argument was the cost to
maintain the extra 2 —4 feet of street. In my opinion, it is a weak argument and without a lot of merit.
May I suggest if the City is concerned with maintaining an extra 2-3 feet of road, they pay to have the
street narrowed or use the pavers money. If it were so important to narrow the roadways there are
many more roads within Country Club that are wider than Sunnyside and Grimes. It seems to me that
the overriding factor might be the City's desire to reduce pavement (per your Associate at the meeting
last night) rather than the practicality and impact of the idea let alone imposing the cost on residents.
Ultimately, because Sunnyside is a road into a major neighborhood (in all directions west, north and
south of it) and with the commercial at the end of the street, it is going to be a well-traveled road in
either direction just do to the amount of residents that reside in the area. Do you know from your
traffic counts how many are actual residents are traveling to the coffee shop in the morning, then
traveling to the dry cleaners in the afternoon and then running to the Co-OP at dinner time, making
three trips back and forth along Sunnyside? Narrowing it would only create more congestion in
conjunction with the parking and prolific biking that occurs along this road, while it may slow traffic, it
may not change the pattern of traffic. Not to mention the build-up from snowplowing on a narrow
street in the winter. Does the City intend on removing snow from the boulevards when it piles up so
much and spills over the boulevard into my sidewalk after I had it was shoveled or you cannot see
properly to pull out of the driveway?
The proposed changes you indicated are heavily reliant on traffic counts and the residents' complaints
that traffic was too fast on Sunnyside. When asked about accident or other data, you could not speak to
it. I have lived on Sunnyside nearly 30 years, and have never seen or heard of a car accident or an
accident involving a child or biker on the street. While there is an occasional driver that may go too fast,
couldn't a posted sign at 25 miles an hour (even if it is a temporary trial) have an impact to slow down
traffic? Couldn't we try that?
I understand the pipes are to be replaced. However, I would assert this project be delayed until the
right solution (s) could be researched properly and come to without a push to get the project done
within the proscribed time frame.
Since assessments are proposed at a range of approximately $9-12,000, I would hope that the City
Engineers do not propose costs that could be avoided with a little more thought and consideration as
to the needs, wants and practicality of the residents that live there rather than based on traffic counts
that only tell a minimal part of the story. l for one, do not want to pay for something I think is not
logical and un-necessary and lacks the voice and vote of the neighborhood. I do not support street
pavers, narrowing the roadways or the bump-outs. I think there are other alternatives that need to be
tried first, before such big money impacts are considered.
The proposal that you are considering making to the Edina City Council is a hope that it changes the
direction of the traffic to 44th, but remains unproven. Proper study would need to be done to see if the
proposal would ultimately (or other suggestions) be of any impact. I would think at a bare minimum,
trials of the bump-outs or stop signs at the corner of Sunnyside and Grimes and the posting of a 25 mile
an hour sign along Sunnyside would give you better data to determine and prove results.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Barbara Kochevar

Subject: Ewing Street Parking
Dear Mayor Hovland,
We live on 6229 Ewing Avenue South. We absolutely love our neighborhood. It's a wonderful place.
We are very concerned about the proposal to change parking to one-side of the street only. We live
on the East side of the street, so now we will be faced with having cars parked in front of our house
nearly every day. Looking at parked cars is not very appealing to us.
More importantly, we believe it's a safety issue. There are a lot of families in our neighborhood (we
have three small children) and our street can get a lot of traffic as people use it as a route to get to
Strachauer park. By limiting parking to one side of the street, families with small children who are
visiting someone on the West side of the street will now have to walk across the street. Having kids
cross the street more than they would under current parking rules does not seem to maximize safety.
I hope you will not support one-side of the street parking. Please put our children first!
Sincerely,
Benjamin and Kelly Vickers

Mayor Hovland and Members,
I am writing to support the Morningside Reconstruction plan proposed to

called "bump outs" or shifts in pavement, have not been used much in the
US, but have been widely used in Europe to calm traffic and improve
safety. (See attachment to this email.) The use of curb extensions should be
an effective traffic calming device on Sunnyside Road as planned.
During the planning phase of this project, I talked with Mr. Millner twice and
sent him 5 or 6 emails proposing different traffic calming options. I was
unsuccessful each time. Nonetheless, I have to respect his final decision
since he's an expert in this field and also used the services of an outside
engineering consultant to aid the planning process. If we don't defer to
experts in doing traffic design, why not just open the process up to
residents and see what ideas get the most votes from the public then just
have the Council adopt that plan.
Finally, Sunnyside Road has carried more than its fair share of traffic for too
long. Under the city's Living Streets Plan, Sunnyside is designated as a local
connector road, while 44th Street is designated as a collector street. Official
city traffic counts put daily average usage on Sunnyside at 3000 cars a day
to and at 2900 for 44th Street. 44th is a Municipal Aid Road and is expected
to carry greater volumes of cars daily than other streets. That's why the
state helps fund it.
The Municipal State Aid Street System (MSAS) is intended to be a
mechanism to identify and fund a "backbone" system of collector and
arterial streets. The city is allowed to identify roads to be built or upgraded
to certain MSAS standards as part of this system. Edina receives Municipal
1
State Aid Street funds based upon the cost to construct these streets to the
MSAS standards. These funds can then be used to construct the streets
designated on the MSAS System.
Streets must meet the following criteria to be selected for the Municipal
State Aid System:
-They are projected to carry a relatively heavier traffic volume or are
functionally classified as collector or arterial streets.
•They connect the points of major traffic interest within an urbanized
municipality.
•They provide an integrated street system.
These streets generally act as collector or minor arterial streets carrying
higher volumes of traffic. The city receives state gasoline revenues to be
used to upgrade and maintain these streets to Municipal State Aid
standards.
Sunnyside carries far too many cars daily for the type of street it is. It's time
44th carried its fair share of the traffic volume in NE Edina.
Please support the Reconstruction Plan as presented by Mr. Millner to the
Board.
Thank you.

Residential Street Standards & Neighborhood Traffic Control:
A Survey of Cities' Practices and Public Officials' Attitudes
Eran Ben-Joseph
Institute of Urban and Regional Planning
University of California at Berkeley
Abstract
The failure of the local street system to provide livability and safety in the residential environment
can be seen in the application of neighborhood traffic management programs by local authorities
to mitigate traffic problems. In order to further identify the extent of the conflict associated with
"livability" and geometrical design of residential street, the following issues are examined: (1)
Existing and proposed residential streets standards and regulations as practiced by various cities
and their evaluation by public and city officials. (2) Traffic problems associated with residential
streets and their mitigation through traffic management and control programs. Data are collected
from Public Works and Traffic Engineering Departments of 56 Californian cities and 19 cities
nation-wide. The findings show that most cities are still adhering to published street standards as
recommended by different professional and federal organizations. Although some city officials
see the need to amend certain aspects of their regulations and create a more flexible framework
for street design, most of them believe that the current practice is satisfactory. Yet, the extant of
residents' complaints about traffic problems on their streets might indicate an inconsistency
between professional practice, as manifested in street design, and its actual performance as
experienced by the residents. This can also be seen in the application of traffic control devices
used by local authorities to mitigate these problems of which the most common are the
installation of speed humps and 4-way stop signs. According to the cities' reports these
techniques, as well as traffic diverters have the most effective results.

Figure 33. Shift in Pavement
Typical Application
Reduction of traffic speed, and the rearrangement of street space, such as parking
and sidewalks.
Description
Speed reduction is achieved by enforced turns and the interruption of drivers'
forward views. Lateral shifts enforce the driver to make at least a 45 degree turn
thus reducing speed. The lateral shift is often created by building alternating
extensions in the pavement area. Alternate angle parking defined by permanent
planters is another method used to achieve the lateral shift The shift must be no
less than the width of the traffic lane, in a two-way street, the provision of sufficient
roadway width at the shift might enable drivers to take the middle line, and thus avoid
the speed reducing effect. This problem may be negated by dividing the roadway at
the shift.
3. Shift in Pavement
This European method of controlling traffic speed is still unpopular in the United States. Only
three of the surveyed cites have used this device on their streets. Five cities indicate an interest
and possible application in the future. (Figure 34)

The effects or impacts of using this device as noted by literature and the surveyed cities are:
Speed and Volume Reduction European Studies show substantial decreases in speed at
the shift. Results are compatible with those of speed humps.
Survey Comments-
Ineffective at reducing speeds (Cupertino)
• This method reduced speeds and traffic volumes. (Garden Grove)
Safety The design alters the linear character of the street and therefore requires proper
signs and a high standard of street lighting. Planting is desirable to lessen the impact of the
extended islands. The extended non-vehicular space allows for interesting street design and
increased pedestrian utilization of the street.
Standards and Guidelines Not covered in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD)
Survey General Comments-
• Have been considered- funding has been a problem as well as public acceptance.
(Danville)
• May be considered. (Sacramento)
• Not used on public streets, but is used on some private streets. (Moraga)
• Would consider. (Livermore)

Subject: Resident Complaint: Morningside A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing to urge the City to re-consider its Morningside A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction project. I have four
concerns:
1) Failure to Consider Opportunity Costs: The project seems to improve the tranquility of a neighborhood that is
home to a very privileged few The notion that the City must invest $3M+ in improving one of the most privileged
and tranquil neighborhoods in the city promotes the City's negative "Cake Eaters" reputation.
2) Failure to Address Root Causes: This project does not address the root cause of perceived high traffic counts on
Sunnyside. If the City wants to address root cause issues the City should invest in improving the 50th/France
interchange since motorists often take any plausible short-cut to avoid that intersection, including flying through
the Country Club and Morningside neighborhoods.
3) Pedestrian Safety: The project engineers claim that narrowing Sunnyside will not drive traffic to other streets,
but residents and practical observers know that is not true. It will drive more traffic to 44th and Wooddale,
where traffic counts and rolling stops through intersection are already at a dangerous level. A neighbor's
daughter was hit in the cross-walk at 44th/Wooddale in recent years. I and my 8 year old daughter were almost
hit there 3 weeks ago. And a neighbor had a similar experience just this week. Again, any resident or practical
observer will tell you that 44th and Wooddale desperately need traffic calming measures and more light to
ensure the safety for local residents.
In conclusion, I urge the City to reconsider this ill-conceived project and to consider instead investing in other pedestrian
safety measures along the busy streets where it will make the most difference, including conducting an updated traffic
study of the 44th/Grimes and 44th Wooddale intersections and investing in traffic calming measures along those routes.
Thank you,
David W. Jones

Subject: Strachauer Park A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction comments
Attn: City Council and Engineering
As a daily dog walker, the parent of two teenagers who have grown up in the neighborhood (one whom just today
received his instruction permit for driving), and the wife of a bicycle commuter, I am writing to express my support for
the 2016 Roadway Reconstruction Plan for Strachauer Park A.
Traffic in the neighborhood, particularly on Beard and Ewing, can feel dangerously fast. This is certainly evident when
there are events such as soccer games at the park, but it really occurs throughout the year. Narrowing the streets and
moving to single side parking are appropriate actions to take to calm traffic in the neighborhood.
Narrowing the streets is also a positive step towards improving water quality. By decreasing the amount of pavement,
storm water runoff will decrease. I applaud the city's efforts in this area.
A sidewalk on Beard will be a great addition to the neighborhood. In the 11 years we have lived here, several families
with young children have moved to Beard. The sidewalk will be a welcome and safe route to Strachauer Park.
Finally, taming the chaos at Beard Ave and Beard Place will be a welcome relief. I have seen near-accidents at that
intersection numerous times. I am very happy that this safety issue will be corrected next summer.
Thank you for your time,
Elizabeth BeIlas

We are unable to be at the meeting tonight.
We, as stakeholders who live on Sunnyside, fully support the bum outs on Sunnyside. Please do not lump our
bump outs with Curve. Many people on Sunnyside support the bump outs.
I resent the idea that people with no traffic or engineering training can disrupt a plan put in place by the Chief
City Engineer and an outside consulting firm. That is ludicrous!
There has been a lot of behind the scenes disinformation circulating and inflaming people in the community.
The more rational compromise is for the bump outs on Sunnyside to be put in place as well as a stop sign on
Sunnyside and Curve.
The people against the bump outs have teenage or early 20 drivers living at home and they are afraid of losing
parking spaces.
Please support the plan as stated for Sunnyside with the addition of a stop sign.
Thanks,

Subject: Sunnyside Road project
Thank you all again for your time on Saturday to discuss the issues on the docket for this evening.
I live on the NW corner of Sunnyside and Curve Avenue and have been there for over 23 years.
I am well aware of the driving and parking habits of those using Sunnyside having lived at this corner for so
long. We have been asking for years, for some means of calming traffic on our street. After attending multiple
sessions with the City engineer and seeing what is being proposed, we still maintain that stop signs and cross
walks are in the best interest for all involved. Concerns for the proposed plan are:
1. it's untested and too permanent
2. I fear there will be side-swiping accidents at my corner now due to the 20' narrowing
3. my biggest concern is over the elimination of SIX parking spaces at my corner. Parking on our street is
already a challenge with one side of the road parking and the plan proposes to eliminate parking at Curve Ave,
at Townes Road and at Grimes. There are 22 houses along this stretch and with the proposed changes there will
be about 12 available parking spots along this stretch of road.
By putting stop signs and cross walks at Curve and at Grimes, we stay consistent with the rest of Sunnyside
road as you travel west from Arden where there is an established pattern of stop signs. It makes no sense to
drive east on Sunnyside road with a consistent pattern of
stop signs until you hit Arden....then it's free sailing until you reach France Avenue.
I think we all have the same end goal which is to have the safest streets possible. We just believe that on
Sunnyside, stop signs and crosswalks would be more effective at Curve Ave and at Grimes to calm traffic and
provide safe places for kids to cross the street.
I am also in favor of a stop sign/crosswalk at 45th street at Grimes so kids can get to the park safely!
Thank you!

Dear Edina City Council members:
At the Town Hall meeting on Saturday, December 5, I mentioned as a preface to my comment that Council
members lack individual authority and that the mayor of a statutory city, as a member of the City Council, has
some additional responsibilities but not meaningful additional power.
One of you stated that the mayor votes to break a tie. That didn't sound right, but I said it could be looked up. I
did look it up and here is what the LMC publication "Role with It: Individual versus Council Authority" says:
A frequent misconception is that mayors have more power than other council members. The mayor is the
official head of the city, and he or she speaks for the city government and presides over council meetings.
The mayor also breaks a tie vote when filling council vacancies, and can make some other appointments
such as park board members subject to council approval. The mayor has no individual authority over city
staff.
Truthfully, mayors of statutory cities have very limited additional powers. Outside of a few exceptions,
the mayor cannot act without council approval.
The tie-breaking vote is limited to votes to fill council vacancies.
LMC has a webinar on individual versus council authority that you may find interesting. It can be viewed
at http ://www. lmc. org/p age/ 1 /RoleWithIt-materials.j sp.
Thank you.

That said my husband and I would just like to reiterate our concern for the size of the assessment and concern for the
size of the cul de sac which has been a gathering spot for neighbors and White Oaks Association picnics- currently the cul
de sac only provides for 6 parking spaces so if Chad says we are going to lose a few parking spaces that is a big impact on
us!!! More importantly the circle provides a safe spot for our children to play but with 8 homes using the circle - picture
3 lawn services with big tractors or 2-3 garbage trucks and recycling plus other Fed ex the postal service and everyday
maintenance people the cul de sac fills up as coming up the private drive is difficult for most trucks- so they is a lot of
action in the cul de sac so in order for residents to safely leave their homes snd not have their entrances blocked it is
very important to keep the size and parking spaces available- please reconsider - from our view it looks like the
assessment is almost twice other assessments and the circle is going to be smaller - no added lighting- very dark on
Townes Rd from circle to Sunnyside and the city is no longer going to take care of the private drive which we would
gladly deed over to the city- all of our neighbors treasure our green space and wooded areas - we even have an
undeveloped lot to the east of us - we have been a walking area for all the neighbors who enjoy the marsh and woods
and an occasional stroll up the private drive is please sometimes change us just change and does not improve -thank you

Subject: Re: Common Sense for Edina - The Minnesota Veterans Preference Act (VPA)
The state of MN has had a veterans preference law since 1974 with several major revisions in 2004, 2005 and
2015. In all that time the city of Edina has never had their veterans policy put on the city web site. Numerous
other municipalities in the Twin Cities including Bloomington where the current HR manager came from have
the veterans preference information on their web sites. The League of MN cities has a document on Veterans
Preference in Hiring and has the following guidance:
The city must notify veterans of the availability of preference points. This is often achieved by including a
Veterans Preference form in the application materials.
http://www.lmc.org/media/document/1/vetpreffsll.pdf?inline=true
The city of Edina currently does not follow the LMC guidance by having the veterans preference policy on its
web site or in the application process which only asks if the applicant is a veteran.
The city of Edina is competing for qualified veteran candidates with other organizations and if the veteran does
not see a veterans policy on the city of Edina web site they may not bother applying. Asking a veteran
candidate to come to city hall to see the veterans policy is not realistic especially if they are not currently living
in MN or are on active duty.
I am requesting to see an electronic copy of the City of Edina veterans hiring policy. I requested to see the
policy last spring but I received no response.
The City of Edina should do the right thing and have the veterans hiring policy on the city web site so veterans
can easily search for the policy.

Dear Mayor, City Council of Edina, and Department of Road Engineering,
We sat through all of last evening's presentations, impressed at your willingness to work on behalf of all of us,
and appreciative of your efforts to parse the recommendations of the many projects submitted last evening.
We live at 4083 Sunnyside Rd, which should have been shown on figure 18 to the west of 4081 Sunnyside. That
omission of consideration of our property is exactly what we think about the project under discussion, as the
implications of placing a bump out directly to the east of our narrow driveway was not sufficiently considered.
The road in front of our house has no parking. At the curb cut at our address Sunnyside Rd is currently only 24
feet wide. We would have even more difficulty getting out of our narrow driveway with the plan for narrowing
the road unless the north side bump out ended more abruptly. We were told that our very good city plows could
get the snow plowed curb to curb, but due to the crowned road at that intersection it has never been able to be
plowed closer than 2 feet from the curb. That means that the bump out would be more like 5 feet into the street.
A second concern is that the west edge of the planned bump out, next to our driveway, will cause even more
snow to pile into our driveway, as the plow tried to execute a narrow turn. Currently snow plows at this
intersection travel to remove snow from the west on Sunnyside and from the north on Grimes. There does not
seem to be a way to avoid that and we have worked with that department to get the snow removed as much as
possible. Often we have to plow the street in addition to our drive just as a way to get the snow out of the way.
There is a utility pole to the west of our driveway so we aren't able to change the shape of the driveway unless
that pole is moved; that means even less area to dump snow. In addition people tend to drive right up onto bump
outs, knocking apart the curb.
Our house is located at the highest point of Sunnyside Rd. Water flows both East and West from out driveway,
but primarily East. If a bump out is installed, it will be an effective dam, backing up water further onto out
apron.
A bump out isn't something that could be temporarily put in for a year or two to see if it is effective. We are
against it on the south side of Sunnyside at this complex T intersection. We like the idea of traffic calming and
wonder why a neck choke was never tried at Wooddale or Arden and Sunnyside if it was considered a solution.
A third issue was about emergency vehicles having difficulty making it down the street to our home. If a fire or
emergency were to occur where would those vehicles go? There is no parking and no way into the driveway as
you have configured the bump out. Already when a garbage truck stops to pick up garbage and a school bus
rounds the corner from Grimes there is no way to get through. We heard a lot of discussion of walking and
biking needs, but we are equally in need of assurance that we would be safe in an emergency, and that we
would have safe, easy access to our driveway.
We are supportive of marked crossings at the intersection of Sunnyside and Grimes. The white marked
crossings at 44th and Grimes are visible. Marking these crossings would be another way to develop awareness
that cars need to stop for pedestrians in marked crosswalks, and would also serve to calm traffic.
We invite you to come over to our home, and see for yourselves the difficulty we currently have entering and
existing our driveway. We agree that some traffic calming strategies work well in many situations, but do not
believe that narrowing Sunnyside ay Grimes is a viable solution.
We would like to set up a meeting to go over our concerns, as actually being at the intersection would make it
easier for discussion and mutual understanding.
Please provide us with the name of a contact, so we can arrange a visit both before and after it snows.
Diane and Michael Feldman

Subject: Re: Mobile Truck Scales
If the city of Edina owns a truck scale why is it such a secret? There is no mention of this capability anywhere
on the city of Edina web site. I have spoke to numerous residents over the years about over weight trucks and
nobody appears to know of this scale.
Does the EPD track how often the scale is used, where it is used and how many citations have been
issued? With dozens of houses that haven been torn down in my community in the past few years and with all
kinds of heavy vehicles it would be nice to know what the procedure is for the use of the scale.
To respond to your comment in your blog earlier today:
Since some of the angriest people in town are in our collective face so much, it can seem like everyone in the
community is either unhappy or unsatisfied or both.
http://blogs.edinamn.dovinot-evervone-is-angrVi
You are framing people who want change, don't agree with city policy, or have tough questions as being
angry. I moved to Edina because of my children and my highest priority is the safety of my children. I have
seen numerous safety issues in Edina, some have been corrected, and several more need to be addressed
including what appear to be overweight trucks in the community. I have attempted to have a constructive
dialogue on the issues but having the city manager call me wrong and angry is not constructive nor professional
for a public employee.

Good Morning Everyone —
At the Town Hall Meeting on Saturday morning Mr. Frenkel made a particularly
forceful statement accusing the City of poor stewardship of its streets and roads
because the City did not own a mobile truck scale. He mentioned that Plymouth
has such a scale.
Mr. Frenkel is wrong.
The City of Edina owns and operates a mobile truck scale. We have a Police Officer
trained and certified to use the scale. We have a protocol about how complaints
are received and investigated. We use the scale throughout the year, but mostly
during the spring when streets and roads are at the most vulnerable to damage
from overweight vehicles.

Subject: Common Sense for Edina - The Minnesota Veterans Preference Act (VPA)
The city of Edina has no formal veterans hiring preference which may be in violation of State law i.e. the VPA
(see below). Regardless of state law the City of Edina should do the right thing and have a veterans hiring
preference similar to other communities like Minneapolis, St Paul, Richfield, Bloomington, Eden Prairie,
Minnetonka and a list of other communities.

Today marks the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec 7, 1941. To honor veterans I would again
suggest the City of Edina take action to further honor the sacrifice of veterans and have a veterans hiring
preference.

How the point system works:
If someone has served active duty for 180 days with an honorable or general discharge, you take the civil service
test. If you get a passing grade and you're a vet, you get 10 points. If you're a disabled vet you get an extra 5
points, so a total of 15 points. The civil service test is based on 100 points.
For city, county, state and federal agencies, the law isn't optional.
At least one city, St. Paul, has been sued for misinterpreting the law.

VI. Community Comment
No comments made.
VII. Reports/Recommendations
A. Human Rights & Relations Commission Report – Chair Pat Arseneault and Liaison MJ
Lamon
Human Rights & Relations Commission (HR&RC) Chair Pat Arseneault explained that the Edina HR&RC has
been talking about what is occurring at the Minnesota Capitol relating to its renovation and what will happen
with the art at the Capitol. She explained that an Eden Prairie Human Rights representative asked whether the
Edina HR&RC was interested in attending their meeting with Healing Minnesota Stories, a group that promotes
healing between Native American and Non-native Minnesotans. They are also involved in the Capitol
renovation as its art currently tells a narrow history of the State, most of the artwork is from the 1900’s when
the Capitol was built, some is offensive to Native Americans, and is not historically accurate or reflect the
State’s diversity.
HR&RC Chair Arseneault stated a discussion is now underway on what to do with this artwork, which is under
the auspices of the Minnesota Historical Society. The Minnesota Historical Society has indicated the Capitol is
not a museum and maybe the art should be located elsewhere. The goal of Healing Minnesota Stories is to
raise awareness, influence what will happen with the art, and how the Capitol will look after renovation.
HR&RC Chair Arseneault stated the Eden Prairie Human Rights representative indicated they would like to
jointly issue a statement supporting the Healing Minnesota Stories petition. The Healing Minnesota Stories
petition is putting these changes forward: 1. Remove offensive, traumatizing paintings from the Capitol,
including The Discoverers and Civilizers Led to the Source of the Mississippi, Father Hennepin Discovering the
Falls of St. Anthony, the Signing of the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux, and The Battle of Kildeer Mountain; 2. Find
a new home for the Capitol art that is removed, where it can be remembered and interpreted; 3. Better
interpret the Capitol’s remaining historic art, preferably with interactive touch screens; 4. Provide more in-depth
training for Capitol tour guides on the art’s history and meaning; and, 5. Add new Capitol art that reflects and
honors Minnesota’s current ethnic and cultural diversity.
HR&RC Chair Arseneault stated they will take up this issue next Tuesday and decide whether to sign a joint
letter with area Human Rights Commissions. She asked the Arts and Culture Commission to consider whether
it would be supportive to sign the Healing Minnesota Stories petition.
Commissioner La Valleur asked if there is a budget to purchase new art for the Capitol. HR&RC Chair
Arseneault stated she is unsure whether the Minnesota State Capitol Preservation Art Subcommittee was asked
to look into budget questions.
Commissioner O’Dea stated while this is a worthy cause for the HR&RC; she does not find that it fits with the
Arts and Culture Commission’s mission.
Commissioner La Valleur stated she has long considered that the Capitol artwork could be offensive to Native
Americans and thinks it would be all right to show a vote of support for the consideration.
Vice Chair Miller asked if the Arts and Culture Commission is being asked to sign the petition. HR&RC Chair
Arseneault stated her intent tonight was to provide information and ask whether the Arts and Culture
Commission would want to look into appropriate replacement art that reflects the State and its diversity.
Mr. Frey stated this will be considered by the HR&RC on Tuesday. HR&RC Chair Arseneault stated that is
correct and noted the HR&RC has been on record to support the mission of Healing Minnesota Stories. She
explained this group is an outgrowth of St. Paul Interfaith Network and has teamed with elementary schools on
specific projects relating to the view of Native Americans.
HR&RC Staff Liaison Lamon stated they also partnered with Ms. USA who has been using the Capitol art
initiative to help them get publicity and awareness. She explained the City is discovering there is overlap
between Boards and Commissions so all of the Chairs and Liaisons will be meeting together to talk about their
plans and how to best work together. Mr. Frey stated that meeting is Monday, October 26, 2015, scheduled for
two hours, and will be led by City Manager Scott Neal.
Vice Chair Miller thanked HR&RC Chair Arseneault for providing this information.
Novus Software Training
Project Coordinator Lamon explained the City is moving towards a paperless system so future Arts and Culture
Commission meeting packets will be available through a Novus portal. She provided training on Novus, an
agenda management software program, and interactive component whereby Commissioners can insert notes.
Project Coordinator Lamon answered questions of the Commissioners.
Mr. Frey stated the Commission’s agenda has been in the same format for many years but with Novus,
approval of the meeting minutes will no longer be included within the Consent Agenda.
Project Coordinator Lamon described how Commissioners will receive notice when the meeting packet is
available for review.
B. Grandview ‘Strawman’ for the Performing Arts – Chair Meifert
Mr. Frey stated the report is specific to the performing arts; however, conversations are ongoing relating to
what the arts in entirety will look like at Grandview. He read the five selected areas identified in Chair Meifert’s
report and stated the assumption is that the performance space at Grandview will be a flexible 300-seat
theater. In addition, the Chair proposes to establish a board of directors to assure the space is properly
managed. Mr. Frey stated there have been ten years of conversations about this 3.3 acre Grandview site but
significant progress is now being made and the programming of the space will be considered in the next six
months, of which he will be an active participant.
Mr. Frey indicated Mr. George Sutton has reviewed Chair Meifert’s report and the intention is that eventually it
will be forwarded along with all the documents to Parks & Recreation. He encouraged Commissioners to send
him a message if they’d like to see any changes made to this information.
Commissioner O’Dea asked about an Arts Center. Mr. Frey stated that question was also raised by Vice Chair
Miller and while it goes without saying, perhaps, reference should be added.
Commissioner O’Dea asked whether identifying five selected areas will be considered as being focused or as
being a lot to take on. She stated she viewed it as a significant list. Mr. Frey stated that is a point well taken, as
it is a broad scope. Commissioner O’Dea stated there could be mention of flexibility to handle those
endeavors.
Vice Chair Miller asked Mr. Frey to include the Art Center in the Commission’s vision of Grandview.
Commissioner Gunness asked if it is considered to be part of the performing theater. Mr. Frey stated he will
look at the wording so it is more specific.
Commissioner La Valleur stated Commissioner O’Dea makes a good point and she agrees the same thing is
needed for the Art Center and other aspects, making this one piece of a five-part consideration. Mr. Frey
advised that some of those parts have already been written.
Vice Chair Miller stated the first part is the inclusive idea of a new performing arts center and then this report
narrows it down to just the theater component. Mr. Frey agreed the focus is only on the theater but the
comments made are well taken so he will relay that information to Chair Meifert.
Commissioner La Valleur provided an explanation of this consideration and description of the location to the
Student Representatives. Vice Chair Miller suggested they also be provided with the written reports.
C. Communication & Website – Commissioner O’Dea
Commissioner O’Dea described her work to create a community events arts and culture calendar. She reviewed
the primary objective to communicate what is going on in the community. Commissioner O’Dea stated the
survey asked what information should be included in an arts and culture website. The responses were a
calendar of events, help in donations, volunteer, things sponsored by the City, things that happen in the City.
She presented a website page design that could be used as a model and refined over time to make it more
sophisticated.
Commissioner O’Dea stated the initial feedback from Communications and Technology Services Director
Jennifer Bennerotte is that the City is disciplined in what goes on its website to assure it is high quality and can
be managed. She stated she will be working with Ms. Bennerotte since this website has a broader objective
and will include non-City sponsored events.
Commissioner La Valleur stated she met with Commissioner Ellis and Vice Chair Miller on the website and
contacted the Edina Community Foundation about their new website that did not cost them anything. She
stated her understanding that BuildYourSite.com builds the website, gets the domain name, and then manages
it.
Commissioner Gunness agreed there are resources to create a website for free or at a low cost.
Vice Chair Miller asked whether the Arts and Culture Commission can have an independent website.
Commissioner O’Dea stated she will raise that question with Ms. Bennerotte along with who will update the
site. She stated she will provide a report on that meeting to Mr. Frey.
Mr. Frey explained that the Music in Edina Working Group has discussed using some of its resources to have an
intern staffed at the Edina Art Center who will accumulate information to post to a website.
Commissioner O’Dea displayed a poster created by artist Adam Turman that was commissioned by the St. Louis
Park Chamber of Commerce and sold for $25 each as a fundraiser for the Meadowbrook Cooperative. She
suggested this type of poster could be created for Edina and used for a fundraiser.
D. Ways & Means Report – Commissioner Miller
Vice Chair Miller stated they met and talked about soliciting donations with focus to collect data on 25
businesses located in Edina. She stated Chair Meifert has indicated he is very willing and eager to do some
fundraising along those lines so they will be gathering information to provide direction and create momentum.
They also discussed grant writing opportunities.
Commissioner La Valleur stated there are a lot of wealthy companies headquartered in Edina. Vice Chair Miller
agreed, noting there are local, national, and international companies.
VIII. Correspondence and Petitions
Vice Chair Miller asked if there was any correspondence or petitions. None voiced.
IX. Chair and Board Commissioner Comments
Commissioner La Valleur announced the Promanade is open and fabulous. She stated the Public Art Edina
Working Group voted on the next art wrap utility box for the southwest corner of 50th and Wooddale. The
back side would be visible from the Veterans Memorial and the front side from St. Stephen’s Church. Because
there was a tie vote within the Public Art Working Group, Mr. Frey suggested the Art and Culture Commission
vote to break the tie.
Commissioner La Valleur displayed colored graphics of the two top vote getters, one depicting a robot and one
a nature scene. Commissioner Gunness stated her support of the robot wrap but concern with this location so
she would support the other option.
Following a show of hands, 3 votes were cast for the robot design and 5 votes were cast for the nature scene.
It was noted that all of the entries will be saved for future locations.
Mr. Frey provided a handout from City Manager Neal describing the best way for advisory Boards and
Commissions to communicate with City Council.
Commissioner O’Dea informed the Commission of a recent About Town article indicating that due to lower
profits at Edina’s liquor store there is potential for an 8% property tax increase. She noted that the liquor store
also funds the Edina Art Center, in part.
Commissioner Gunness stated at the last meeting there was discussion of the Art on the Go Subcommittee.
She stated she is prepared to chair that group and will soon be calling a meeting.
Commissioner Gunness announced that TEDxEdina, an independently organized TED event, will be on
Saturday, October 24, 2015, at the Edina Community Center, and tickets are sold out. The talks will be
videotaped and uploaded to the TEDxEdina website. Vice Chair Miller congratulated Commissioner Gunness
on this accomplishment.
Commissioner La Valleur stated she attended the France 71 opening and recommended all stop in to view this
beautiful art gallery.

HRA Resolution 2015-05
Requesting Public Hearing for 66 West Tax Increment Financing District
Information / Background:
In November 2014, the City Council granted final approvals for the proposed 66 West Apartments
and subsequently approved Resolution 2015-48 to show full support for the proposed project.
Located at 3330 W. 66th Street, this redevelopment and expansion of an aging professional building
will create 39-units of affordably-priced housing for young adults who were formerly homeless.
In May 2015, the Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) approved HRA Resolution
2015-01 to grant financial assistance to the project, pending funding commitments from other
parties. The grant funds will come from the Southdale 2 Tax Increment Financing District using
special state legislation for affordable-housing projects in Edina.
Commitments from all funding sources have recently been secured. The City of Edina and Edina
HRA will need to consider the creation of a new Tax Increment Financing District to enable the
financial grant.
This Resolution requests that the City of Edina call for a Public Hearing in early 2016 so that this
proposal can be fully considered. The costs associated with the related studies will be borne by the
developer (Beacon Interfaith Housing).
