PUBLIC HEARING HELD ON ORDINANCE NO. 1995-3 - AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A TWO YEAR FRANCHISE TO NORTHERN STATES POWER CONTINUED TO JUNE 19,1995 Engineer HoEman explained that the franchise with Northern States Power (NSP) expires this month, after a twenty year period. Recently, staffhas been negotiating a new twenty year franchise with Northern States Power. One major issue remains unresolved - franchise fee language. NSP is concerned with new Federal legislation and a term called "retail wheeling". What may happen soon is that other electric utilities can use NSP lines to transmit power and sell to customers normally serviced by NSP. Staff andNSP have agreed that the Suburban Rate Authority should establish standard language for the suburbs to use with NSP on franchise agreements. Staff would recommend adoption of a two year interim franchise to cover the time period while new fi-anchise language is completed by the Suburban Rate Authority. Mayor Richards inquired whether there was a franchise fee in place now. Engineer HoEman answered no. Mayor Richards further asked why the franchise could not remain status-quo. Engineer Hofhan responded that language in the franchise would need to be changed to accommodate a franchise fee. Attorney Gilligan informed Council that since the franchise contains no fee now he did not know ifNSP would agree to language that would include one. NSP is required by law to have a fianchise in place. 51 151 95 Member Maetzold asked what part the Suburban Rate Authority has in this process. Engineer Hoffian responded that Finance Director Wallin represents the City at Suburban Rate Authority meetings. 289 Mayor Richards suggested the fianchise be extended indefinitely but with a 30 day cancellation stipulation that could be enforced by the City if it desired to impose a fianchise fee. Member Maetzold suggested if the old franchise is extended for the two years, and if the Council wishes to charge fianchise fees, he recommended fees be charged retro-actively for that period and the new twenty year contract include a fianchise fee. Member Smith said the fee is set by the Council and is passed on to residents. I Member Smith agreed with Member Maetzold that the fee be retro-active and said that the fee would ultimately be paid by residents. Mayor Richards stated there are no time constraints with granting the ordinance and suggested the issue be continued to the regular meeting of June 19. Member Paulus asked what liability the City could incur in the proposed 30 day period and should we be doing anything during this period. Attorney Gilligan stated that certain indemnities would need to be in place to protect the City during the time following expiration of the fianchise. Member Smith reiterated that he does not want a gap in the fianchise. Member Smith made a motion to continue First Reading of Ordinance No. 1995-3, An Ordinance Granting a Two-Year Franchise to Northern States Power to June 19,1995. Motion was seconded by Member Maetzold. Ayes: Kelly, Maetzold, Paulus, Smith, Richards Motion carried. PUBLIC HEARING HELD ON VACATION OF PORTION OF GLENBRAE CIRCLE ADDITIONZ RESOLUTION ADOPTED VACATING PORTION OF GLENBRAE CIRCLE Member Smith said he would neither participate in the discussion of the proposed vacation of a Portion of Glenbrae Circle Addition nor would he vote, due to a possible conflict of interest. Affidavits of Notice were presented, approved and ordered placed on file. Presentation bv Engineer Engineer Hoffman reminded Council that a property owner at 5300 Glenbrae Circle petitioned the City to vacate a portion of Glenbrae Circle or re-build it. The Public Works Department concluded that vacating a portion would be the most effective and require no assessment to any property owner. The adjacent land on the east and south sides of the vacated portion is currently City open space. Staff recommended the vacation. At the May 1, 1995, Council meeting, the proposed vacation was continued to the regularly scheduled Council meeting to allow further attempt to contact the resident at 5304 Glenbrae Circle who had not previously responded. Engineer Hoffman advised that a letter was again sent to the property owner at 5304 Glenbrae Circle with no response. Staff was unable to phone the property owner because they have an unlisted phone number. Staff would recommend vacation of the roadway as petitioned, or close the roadway without vacating thus preserving future ability of property owners to subdivide. Council comment Member Maetzold agreed with the proposed vacation and inquired whether a walking path to the pond, east of the right-of-way, could still be built in the kture. Engineer HofEnan stated yes, the land is a public park. Mayor Richards called for public concerns or comments. No public comments or concerns were received. I Member Maetzold introduced the following resolution and moved adoption. RESOLUTION VACATING A PORTION 290 5/15/95 OF GLENBRAE CIRCLE WHEREAS, two weeks' published and posted notice of a public hearing on the proposed vacation of a Portion of Glenbrae Circle was given and the hearing on the proposed street vacation was held on the 15th day of May, 1995, at which time all persons desiring to be heard were given an opportunity to be heard thereon; and WHEREM, the Council deems it to be in the best interest of the City and of the public that said street vacation be made: and WHEREAS, the Council has considered the extent to which the vacation affects existing easements within the area of the vacation and the extent to which the vacation affects the authority of any person, corporation, or municipality owning or controlling electric, or cable television or telephone poles and . lines, gas and sewer lines, or water pipes, mains, and hydrants on or under the area of the proposed vacation, to continue maintaining the same, or to enter upon such street or portion thereof vacated to maintain, repair, replace, remove, or otherwise attend thereto.

BID AWARDED FOR PAPER SUPPLY FOR SPRING ISSUE - ABOUT TOWN Member Maetzold said he asked that this item be removed from the Consent Agenda for further explanation of why the bid was awarded to a sole bidder. Manager Rosland explained that two years ago when the bid was originally awarded, a number of bids were secured and Intercity Paper (now renamed, Unisource) was awarded the bid. He informed the Council that bids will be taken for the next issue of About Tom. Member Maetzold made a motion for award of bid for paper supply for the Spring issue of About Town to sole bidder, Unisource at $6,013.88. Motion was seconded by Member Kelly. Rollcall: Ayes: Kelly, Maetzold, Paulus, Smith, Richards Motion carried. *BID AWARDED FOR PLOW AND WING - DUMP TRUCK Motion was made by Member Paulus and was seconded by Member Smith for award of bid for a plow and wing for a dump truck to recommended low bidder, MacQueen Equipment at $9,372.00.

Motion carried on rollcall vote - four ayes. PURCHASE OF FIVE COMPUTERS FOR POLICE DEPARTMENT CONTINUED TO COMPLY WITH CITY BIDDING GUIDELINES Member Maetzold informed Council he would not participate in the discussion or the vote. Police Chief Bernhjelm explained that the purchase is for replacement of five computers that are no longer compatible with records and dispatch software. More speed and memory are required with software upgrades than are possible with the existing machines. The older models will be utilized for work processing only duty until they no longer work. Chief Bemhjelm advised while the purchase exceeds the normal City purchasing guidelines for quotations, it is within State law requirements. The City policy requires sealed bids for purchases in excess of $15,000 and State law does not require sealed bids unless the cost exceeds $25,000. Chief Bernhjelm advised that IBM Direct, the low bidder, is not willing to supply sealed bid prices. State contract vendor, Ameridata, is $1,278.66 higher than IBM. Prior experience with Ameridata has not been satisfactory in the area of service and responses to requests for information. IBM has been an excellent supplier and staff would recommend them for the following reasons: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) IBM is compatible with IBM AS400 and Token Ring Network products IBM is only manufacturer who offers a direct company repair service. (Others are repaired locally) IBM offers an extended on-site repair service which includes 24 hour per day service at a reasonable rate. (No one else offers this service.) Three year extended warranty is approximately $1 10. IBM is dependable and repair service has been excellent IBM offered 24 hour full range telephone support for automated help and one-on-one assistance. Chief Bernhjelm noted that the cost per computer is $4,242.41. Following a brief Council discussion concerns were voiced with 1) have bids been awarded previously that have not gone through the sealed bid process, 2) are we under stringent time constraints, and 3) does the bid include software or would that be a non-budgeted item. I Member Kelly made a motion to continue the award of bid for five Police Department computers to follow the sealed bidding process in compliance with City bidding guidelines. Ayes: Kelly, Paulus, Smith, Richards Motion carried. 292 51 15/95 I HEARING DATE SET OF JUNE 5,1995, FOR PETITION FOR WATERlWU&/FEA!3IBILITY RECEIVED FOR CURB AND GUTTER- LAJKEVIEW DRIVE Engineer Hoffman informed Council that the City received petitions for the following items: WM-3 17A - Watermain, located at W. Fuller Street and West 55th Street fiom France Avenue to Beard Avenue with an estimated cost of $189.046.99. BA-308 - Concrete Curb and Gutter, located at Lakeview Drive fiom Wooddale to Concord with an estimated cost of $49,554.50. . IMPROVEMENT PRESENTED - WEST FULLER STREET AND WEST 66TH STREET; PETITION 1. 2. The petitions have been reviewed by staff and have been determined that the projects are feasible. The projects would be funded through special assessment and staff would recommend setting a hearing date of June 5,1995. Richard and Char Pehrson, 35 16 West Fuller Street, spoke to their letter of May 9,1995, reiterating their concern that the watermain process continue as quickly as possible because their well is nearly dry. Options they have been given by a well drilling company would be extremely costly or they could install City water. They feel the City is obligated under State Minnesota Plumbing Code MHD 4715.1700 to provide water and states, 'every dwelling shall be adequately provided with adequate water supply and sewage system for habitation.' Mayor Richards explained that the process usually is that all persons affected by the proposed improvements would be advised that a public hearing is set for a date in the future. At that public hearing, all comments and concerns would be heard and a decision reached by the Council to go forward or not. Only in an emergency, could a special meeting of the Council and residents be called.
