1.4 APPROVE MINUTES OF OCTOBER 12. 1999. REGULAR MEETING.
Councilmember Hanus stated on page 3557, the first paragraph under 1.14 to be restated to
read as follows: "Councilmember Hanus asked when this program would sunset and the
Acting City Manager stated June 30, 2000."
MOTION by Ahrens, seconded by Hanus, to approve the minutes as amended
above. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. 5-0.
1.5 PUBLIC LANDS PERMIT. LANE HANSEN, 2057 ARBOR LANE.
Councilmember Hanus referred to page 3580. He restated this issue involves an approval of
a resolution that will allow an individual to do some improvements on City property at his
own expense. Councilmember Hanus explained in the resolution there is a reference that the
individual must improve an area using "native species" trees. Councilmember Hanus is
concerned about making this section of the resolution so restrictive. He would like to strike
this notation in the resolution to leave it open for other acceptable types of trees.
Councilmember Weycker stated the fourth paragraph in the resolution should refer to the
"Park and Open Space Commission" not the "Dock and Commons Commission."
Tom Casey, a member of the park commission, stated the park commission deliberately put
in the "native species" clause in the resolution. Mr. Casey stated this was disturbed property
and the park commission felt they should recommend that the applicant replant the same
species that was destroyed which was native species trees to the State of Minnesota. Mr.
Casey would recommend keeping the restriction of planting "native species" trees in the
designated area.
Councilmember Hanus, Councilmember Brown, and Councilmember Ahrens agreed to allow
the resolution to include the "native species" language which would include Basswood and
Maple trees, but indicated they do not want to set a precedent by restricting applicants when
they are using their own money to improve City property.
Sutherland stated he would contact the applicant and inform him of the Council discussion
regarding tree planting.
MOTION by Hanus, seconded by Brown, to accept resolution approving a public lands
permit with specific change to the fourth paragraph of the resolution as noted above.

SUBJECT:
DENIAL OF BUILDING PERMIT REQUEST FOR A NEW FOUNDATION @
3018 ISLAND VIEW DRIVE.
Dear Mr. Johnson:
As we discussed on the phone, a building permit cannot be issued without the prior approval of a variance
by the City Council based upon the nonconforming status of your dwelling and the city zoning ordinance
section 350:420 (note the zoning sheet and ordinance attached). According to your survey dated 4-8-88,
the dwelling is located 3.1 feet to the south side and 18.7 to the front where a 6 and a 20-foot setback is
required. This is the same information that I originally gave to your contractor the first time we discussed
the issue however, I was not aware at the time that we were discussing your property.
Your foundation is in need of repairs which can be done without a variance, however if it is totally replaced
and the crawl space is expanded into living space it is likely that staff would recommend to the councit tha.
the house be moved to a conforming location.
When you and ! met orLsite we discussed the fact that your application was incomplete and you would
need to identify the proposed change in impervious surface and provide a proposed floor plan and cross
section that details the existing and proposed work. To clarify, you stated you have about 6'-2" crawl
space height and you intend to drop the floor to get about 8"-6" and create habitable space including a
bathroom.
I have also included a copy of the city attorneys correspondence confirming what I had initially informed
your contractor. Restated, your alternatives are to appeal staff's decision to the council, apply for a
variance, move the dwelling to a conforming location eliminating the need for a variance (pending
conformance with other applicable regulations).
Please contact me @ 472-0614 - or in my absence, Loren Gordon our City Planner @ 338-0800.
I will be on vacation the week of November 8th.
Respectfull~f.,.~-

MEMORANDUM
To: Fran Clark, acting city manager
From: John Dean, city attorney
Subject: 3018 Island View Drive
The owner of the referenced property has applied for the issuance of a building permit to
replace the existing walls and floor of the basement. The project will also include
lowering the basement floor so that the basement ceiling height will be approximately 7
feet 6 inches high.
The structure in wlfich the basement is located is a nonconforming structure. The
nonconformity includes the front yard and the south side yard setbacks.
Under these circumstances, work on the structure is permitted under certain limited
circumstances, including:
1. Restoration of the structure to a safe condition when it is declared unsafe.
2. Normal maintenance including necessary non-structural repai;rs and incidental
alterations.
3. Alterations wlfich improve livability of residential units (subject to the approval
of the city council)
4. Expansions, enlargements or modifications which meet current zoning
regulations and do not create nonconformities.
My analysis of those circumstances, based on the information which has been provided to
me is as follows.
1. I am informed by Jon Sutherlund that the building does not qualify as unsafe, and that
it would not be accurate to refer to the work as a restoration to a safe condition.
2. It does not appear that the scope of the work would qualify as either normal
maintenance or as non-structural repairs.
3. I am not sure that tlfis l~ravision was intended to apply to single family homes, but even
if it does, council approval is required before the building permit could be issued.
4. The proposed work does not meet the current zoning regulations due to the fact that it
encroaches into the setback areas.
I understand that the city plmmer and the building official have reached similar
conclusions.
While it is entirely possible that the council may interpret the relevant ordinances
differently, I must conclude that absent such direction from the council, it would not be
proper for the staffto ignore what seems to be the clear meaning of the ordinance in order
to issue the requested permit.
JBD-170958
MU220-5
The applicant is entitled to request the council to overrule the interpretation of' staff, or to
take other options available under the ordinance
If either you or the applicant have any other information which may bear on this decision,
I would encourage you to let me know.

Re. Local Programming Facilities Agreement
Dear Fran.
I am in receipt of a memorandum dated August 24, 1999 directed to your aaemion from
Ms. Sally Koenecke from the Lake Mianetonka Cable Commission {"LMCC") Ms. Koenecke's
memorandum reviews the draft Local Programming Facilkies Agreement dated June 30, 1999
and provides LMCC's commems with respect thereto
You have asked that I review LMCC's commems and provide you with a response
regarding whether such terms may be acceptable I understand you will be revi~,ving this matter
with City officials and will attempt to make policy decisions regarding the amoum of financial
support the City chooses to dedicate toward local programming. I will review LMCC's
comments in the order in which they are presented in Ms Koenecke's memorandum of
August 24, 1999.
On Page 1, 7th Recital, LMCC's proposed revision to require a joint invcrnory within
thirty (30) days of the acceptance of the agreement is acceptable.
On Page l. 9~ Recital LMCC is proposing tha~ the City dedicate not only the $g4 per
subscriber per month which the City receives for support of PEG access from Triax/Mediacom,
but also a portion of the City's franchise fees to help offset the costs associated with the
operation of the studio. This revision represents the most significant, substantive change LMCC
is p:oposing to the agreement.
This issue is obviously a policy decision for thc City as it relates to the benefits which the
Ctty may receive from use of the LMCC studio versus the cost of such use. Issues which file
City may wish to consider with respect to this matter include the number of Mound residents
which will actually benefit from this rather large capiud contribution to LMCC It may be

prudent to consider how many Mound residents will actually use the LMCC studio to produce
programming. Remember that the programming which LMCC regularly produces at its st,,dm is
already cablecast on Channel 21 to all of the cities which Triax serves off of the Lake
Minnetonka headend. Thus, Waconia, Chanhassen, Mound, Wayzata, all receive LMCC
produced programming on Channel 21 whether they like it or not
LMCC is proposing to include programs which Mound residents may produce at the
LMCC studio on Channel 21 as opposed to Channel 20 which was intended to be a Channel
specific to the City of Mound.
The fact that LMCC ha~ chosen to dedicate a large pmzion of its fi-anch~se fees and its
$.50 per subscriber per month PEG access fee to support its studio operation does not necessarily
mean that that is an appropriate amount of money for Mound to dedicate to such efforts. 1
suggest that .City officials review the benefits to the community which may result from use of the
studio and determine an appropriate contribution for such use. If that figure falls below the
support which LMCC is seeking w~th respect to use of the studio there are other alternatives. For
example, the City could use the $.f~4, together with the equipment that it has already acquired
over the years and allow community programmers to use the equipment to produce programming
which may then be cablecast on Channel 20 via playbac~ from the Mound City Hall This need
not take up a significant amount of space nor would it affect the City's franchise fee revenue
which is presently part of~he C~ty's general revenue fund
Assuming 2,500 subscribers in the City of Mound, $2,100 will be collected each month
for PEG access. This represents over 125,000 each year. To the ex'tent LMCC desires an
amount over and above the $ 84 0 understand that figure may be an additional $ 40) the amount
of revenue wNeh would be dedicated by Mound towards the LMCC studio would be
approximately $35,000 If only a handful of Mound residents are using the facility m produce
programming, the City must consider whether that expenditure to facilitate the programming for
these individuals provides a commensurate benefit to Mound residents and cable television
subscribers. With that amount of money in question the City clearly would have option to hire
outside professionals to handle certain cablecasting responsibilities as independem contractors
and may still come out with a lower expenditure overall.
Finally, ~t appears from the comments submitted by LMCC that their preference would be
for Mound to join flue LMCC thereby dedicating the City's entire five percen! (5%) franchise
fees xo the studio effort While this cer~inly may be an option to consider, the City should
reahze that it will be contribming over $75,000 toward the LMCC ii'it should become a member
of~hat commission This would represent approximaely $50,000 of franchise fee revenue and
another $25,000 of PEG access support revenue. While this would clearly be beneficml to the

LMCC, as it would help to offset the cost which LMCC has incurred to construct and equip its
new studio facility, will the City of Mound receive appropriate benefits from ttus significant
contribution?
Page 2. Section I A.(2). LMCC's proposed revisions regarding ~quipment replacement
are acceptable.
pa~e 2. Section I A ¢71. LMCC is proposing to provide the City's public access
programming on Channel 21 v~hich LMCC cun'ently cablecasts on Thus, the whole concept of
having a channel dedicated solely for the City of Mound on Channel 20 ~ts in the past does not
~ppear acceptable to LMCC g. cmcmber that the City will receive programming on Channel 21
regardless of whether the City chooses to enter imo an agreement Nth LMCC
Page 2. Section Il 1~.(1) LMCC is again proposing to require not only the $ g4 PEG
access fee but an additional contribution from the City's franchise fees. See my comments above
regarding this issue
Page 3. Section I1 A. Again LMCC is seeking a contribution from the City's franchise
fee as opposed to just the $ 84 PEG access fee
Page 3. Section II B. LMCC's proposed revisions again relate to the funding to be
provided m support the PEG access facility. LMCC has proposed adding language that would
require that the City of Mound pay the exact same amoum on a per subscriber basis as
subscribers residing within the LMCC franchise area. The objective of this amendment appears
to be the potential increase in the amount of support which Mound would provide to LMCC. In
other words, to the extent the LMCC member municipalities dedicate all of their franchise fees
and the $.50 PEG access support fee to support the ~tudio, Mound would be required to provide
the same level ofcontnbution This would be uae even if only a handful of Mound residents
take advantage of the LMCC studio for video production since it is not based on "use" but rather
on the number of subscribers. Once again this relates to a policy question for Mound elected
officials regarding whether this is a~prudent expenditure of approximately $75,000 in revenue.
Page 3. Section III A. I am confused by this provision. LMCC is agreeing to integrate
the equipment owned by the City into the studio operation and is asking for about $3g,000 in
support yet will not c, over such equipmen~ under its insurance policies Moreover, LMCC has
put in a provision that if anyone steals or damages the equipment it will be the City's
responsibility to include the equipment under the City's own insurance pohcy and LMCC will
not reimburse the City for any loses Isn't this an issue which should be covered by ',.he
significant financial contribution which the City of Mound may be paying to LMCC?

Page 3. Section I1] C LMCC's proposed changes regarding the equipment invemor~ are
acceptable.
Page 3. Section tli D. LMCC's proposed revisions regarding City review of the
inventory are acceptable.
Page 3. Section III E Once again I do not understand the logic of the proposed revis,ons.
LMCC is requiring that the City maintain insurance on its equipment and that the City name
LMCC as an additional insured on its policies covering City equipment Since the City
equipment is being located at the LMCC facility of which we have no control over, why woulcl
we insure the equipmem and provide additional coverage to LMCC9 I suspect the City attorney
will have serious concerns regarding this matter.

Page 4. Section V A LMCC's proposed changes regarding monthly repons are

P~ge 4, Section V C LMCC's elimination of annual report ,equirement is acceptable.

Fran, I hope these comments are helpful to you as you consider these issues together with
your elected officials. While I understand your concern that the City has very few options with
respect to PEG access programming except m take the deal which LMCC is proposing, I urge
you to consider the needs of a_!l of the residents of the City of Mound regarding PEG access
programming and the level of contribution which the City is being asked to make to receive the
benefit which will be provided Remember, LMCC will benefit from having Mound contribute
towards the studio operation particularly given that Mound residems will impose a very minimal
burden on the LMCC studio resuking in virtually no change in LMCC' s operations except a
rather sizable fu~nci~ contribution to help minimize LMCC's operating expenses LMCC is not
adding staff, space, extra equipment, additional hours or anything else to ~a,isfy the Agreement,
all they are doing is allowing use which will cost aborn $38,000 under their proposal This
seems very high.

Subject:
Proposed Agreement with LMCC
As you all know, as of February 1, 1999, Triax, is no longer in charge of our local access
studio. I have been communicating with the LMCC (Lake Minnetonka Communications
Commission) about taking over our Public, Educational and Governmental (PEG)
programming. Attached is the proposed agreement as prepared by our cable attorney, Brian
Grogan, after a meeting with LMCC.
Please remember we are not loosing any money. We have never received the PEG fees until
this year, 1999. It appears that will be approximately $6,500 per quarter or $26,000 per year
that we would be paying LMCC for their service. I do not feel we, as a City, can provide
the access services for this amount of money per year. If we join the LMCC, they will be in
charge of the access studio which they already have in Spring Park. They would be in charge
of providing the necessary personnel to videotape each City Council meeting for cablecast on
Channel 20. They would also assist other public, religious organizations, public libraries and
educational institutions, and other groups and organizations of the City in the facilitation of
PEG access programming efforts under the same terms, conditions, and standards adopted for
LMCC residents.

to be $27,690 per year, we could allocate 400 hours per year (just under 8 hours per week) for their use.
Chanhassen's playback requirements require staffing, equiplng and maintenance of the facility.
Assuming 10% of the annual cost for this activity results in $14,400 to be paid from theeir PEG Fees.
This amount represents roughly .30 cents per month per Chanhassen subscriber.
These figures are based on preliminary estimates of costs without the benefit of actual experience

City Financial System
On October 21st I attended the annual meeting of the City Financial System Users Group.
We have been notified that the system is year 2000 compliant, but that we need
some updates with the operating system and the payroll. In addition we need to
update part of the payroll to meet the PERA reporting requirements.
Meter Readin.cl Devices Upgrade
The Sensus people have installed the meter reading software and activated the
new hand held devices that will be used to read the 3,200 city meters. The training
went well, but we have a few bugs with the equipment and the software. Joyce, Greg
Bob and Dan have been good sports through the process.
MINUTES
MOUND ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION
MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1999
Those present: Chair Geoff Michael; Commissioners: Becky Glister, Cklair Hasse,
Michael Mueller, Bill Voss, Frank Weiland; Council Liaison Bob Brown. Absent and
excused' Commissioners Orv Burma and Jerry Clapsaddle. Staff present: City Planner
Loren Gordon, Building Official Jon Sutherland, and Secretary Sue McCulloch.
Chair Michael called the meeting to order at 7:36 p.m.
MINUTES -APPROVAL OF THE OCTOBER 11, 1999 MINUTES OF THE PLANNING
COMMISSION MEETING.
Glister referred to three spelling errors in the minutes. The words misspelled should be
changed as follows throughout the document: Bob Steal to "Bob Steele", Seaton
Channel to "Seton Channel", and Barlette to "Bartlett."
MOTION by Weiland, seconded by Glister, to accept the October 11, 1999,
Planning Commission meeting minutes as amended above. MOTION
CARRIED: 7-0.
BOARD OF APPEALS:
None to be heard.
DISCUSSION:
1. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN.
Mueller reported to the Planning Commission that a subcommittee had been formed to
discuss the Surface Water Management Plan. The subcommittee met twice and they
now have questions and would like some direction from staff before they give their
recommendations.
Staff was directed by the Planning Commission to have City Engineer John Cameron,
and Public Works Superintendent Greg Skinner at the next Planning Commission
meeting if there was going to be discussion regarding the Surface Water Management
Plan.
The Gordon discussed the process of approving the Surface Water Management Plan.
He stated after the Planning Commission comes up with their changes to the goals and
policies of the Plan, then those written changes should be forwarded on to Dan Parks.
Mound Planning Commission Minutes - October 25, 1999
Arrangements could then be made to meet with Mr. Parks after he has reviewed and
possibly implemented those changes into the Plan for the Planning Commission to
review. Gordon recommended having the City Engineer and the City Public Works
Superintendent present at this informal meeting also. Gordon stated there is a
November 8, 1999, public hearing scheduled for the Comprehensive Plan and at this
time there possibly could be a public hearing for the Storm Water Management Plan
also.
Mueller asked the Planning Commission if they would like to further comment
concerning the Storm Water Management Plan and not just implement what the
subcommittee's findings were regarding goals and policies.
Weiland stated if the subcommittee has already reviewed the Surface Water
Management Plan in detail, then this review should be efficient for all members of the
Planning Commission. The consensus of this theory was true.
Mueller and Brown expressed their concern with the Surface Water Management Plan
on page 30, number 8, where it states the "City will encourage placement of a 20 foot
wide, native, unmaintained buffer strips adjacent to wetlands to limit erosion and
nutrient transportation to the wetlands."
Voss expressed a concern with the Surface Water Management Plan on page 31,
number 3, where it states the "City will require native, unmaintained 20 foot wide buffer
zones around wetlands and ponding areas in new developments and restrictive
easements for areas adjacent to the City waterbodies and streams." ~
Gordon stated the concerns of the Commissioners were legitimate, but this information
relating to buffer strips and buffer zones should stay in the Plan to help mitigate
pollution. Gordon and Sutherland agreed, although, that the information could be
reworded to state "designated areas" or "feasible areas."
Mueller stated his concern to enforce the prosperous-free fertilizer of lawn applications
by the staff. This statement should be emphasized greatly to all citizens of Mound.
Chair Michael expressed if there are questions that need to be addressed before the
Planning Commission makes their recommendations to the Surface Water
Management Plan, then they should be addressed by the appropriate individuals.
Mueller stated a third request by the subcommittee to have included the Surface Water
Management Plan is to have stenciling done on concrete curbs by each drain showing
which direction the water flows. This would be beneficial to all citizens of Mound in an
educational way. There was concern this project may entail more staff, but there was
the suggestion of having volunteers help out. The stenciling may have to be redone
approximately every two to three years.
2
Mound Planning Commission Minutes - October 25, 1999
Voss stated on page 30, numbers 1 and 2 appear to be "moot" in his eyes. Gordon
agreed number 2 could be deleted, but number 1 maybe needs only some rewording.
Voss stated on page 30, number 4, the word "not" should be deleted within the
sentence.
Mueller stated his biggest concerns and questions involved policies.
Voss asked if the City of Mound could financially afford all of these changes.
Gordon stated all of this planning does require more work by the Commissioners, the
boards, staff and people who do work within the City. The City Manager will need to
monitor efforts made by staff and also regulate the best policies that should be
implemented.
Mueller ended discussions of the Surface Water Management Plan by restating again
his three concerns: (1) phosphorous-free fertilizer; (2) unmaintained buffer strips and
buffer zones; and (3) stenciling on concrete curbs by drains.
Mueller stated the Surface Water Management Plan subcommittee would meet with Mr.
Parks to discuss their revisions.
2. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
Gordon started his presentation on the Comprehensive Plan. He stated the Culture
Resource Section now includes the burial sites in Mound. The Social Economics
Section's projections by Metropolitan Council were off so Gordon created a comparison
chart that showed what projections he felt would be more realistic. Gordon stated the
goals and policies within each section still need to be implemented.
Brown stated he had been informed them are mom parks per capita in the City of
Mound than any other city in the seven county metro area.
Chair Michael strongly suggested improvements in the Housing Section. He
questioned the wording of having the City of Mound "encourage maintenance."
Sutherland stated currently maintenance is encouraged if another citizen has made a
complaint.
Mueller questioned the deadline of this project and stated strongly the Comprehensive
Plan currently does not suit the City of Mound. Mueller stated the Planning
Commission does not want to put this Plan into effect with the language it currently has
in the Plan so he is encouraging a page-by-page review of the Comprehensive Plan
tonight.
3
Mound Planning Commission Minutes - October 25, 1999
Brown stated there is information about the community center that is stated incorrectly
and out of context in the Comprehensive Plan. Brown also strongly stated the
Comprehensive Plan will not be passed on November 8, 1999, as it reads to date. He
is aware, although, of the end-of-the-year deadline for the Plan.
Sutherland agreed with Mueller that the Comprehensive plan should be reviewed page-
by-page.
Weiland strongly stated there is information in the Comprehensive Plan that should be
deleted and reinserted when the need arises.
Gordon reiterated that this Draft contains all sections that have been reviewed by the
Planning Commission over the last 9 months with some sections two and three times.
Based on those review sessions, this draft represents the direction of the Planning
Commission. Gordon asked who had read the Draft and what specific concerns exist as
the draft reads. He stated the public hearing is scheduled for November 8, 1999 and
those issues remaining need to be identified and addressed by the Commission so a
recommendation can be forwarded to Council.
Chair Michael agreed to a page-by-page review tonight of the Goals and Policies on
pages 6-11. Mueller agreed with Chair Michael.
Community Development
The word "Goal" should be deleted following the subtitle.
Natural Resources
There was some disagreement regarding number 2, although, Gordon and Sutherland
agree this item needs to be included in the Plan for situations that are forthcoming.
Mueller stated some disagreement regarding number 4 because it is more extensive
than what the City of Mound currently does. Gordon stated, and Sutherland agreed,
this number needs to stay in the Plan to have something to fall back on when there is
an incident of discussion by a citizen which could occur.
The Planning Commission and staff agreed to restate number 6. They would like it to
read as follows: Promote shoreland management practices consistent with the Mound
Comprehensive Plan, providing they recognize LMCD and the DNR development
guidelines and Mound's existing land use pattern.
Mound Planning Commission Minutes - October 25, 1999
Land Use
Mueller and Voss suggested number 2 to read as follows: Create suitable dwelling
densities to accommodate changing development patterns, housing types and aesthetic
values.
Mueller suggested number 7 should eliminate the word "maintain" and insert the word
"encourage." Sutherland stated we can maintain a mix of downtown by using SAC
credits.
Mueller suggested number 9 should eliminate the word "should" and replace it with the
word "shall."
Housing
There was lengthy discussions of numbers 4 and 5. Staff stated an example of Maple
Manor in support of number 4. Number 5 relates to truth and housing and the
Commissioners, as well as staff, would like to see this enforced where applicable.
The Commissioners, and staff agreed, to restate number 7 in the goal area of this
section.
Transportation
It was agreed by the Commissioners and staff to restate number 5 to read as follows:
Encourage the upgrading of all municipal, county and state roadways, full urban
sections, i.e., curb gutter blacktop streets, with controlled driveways cuts, curbing,
sidewalks, etc.
Sutherland stated, and Gordon agreed, number 7 should be restated with the goal area
of this section to read as follows: Promote increased development and interconnection
with adjacent communities of the bikeways.
Recreation
In the goal section, the word "the" mentioned before "all Mound residents" should be
deleted.
There was agreement by those present to change number 6 to read as follows:
Promote a balanced park system which includes neighborhood parks, community
parks, nature conservation areas, special use facilities, schools and private
developments.
Gordon stated he will add a number 10 that will include appropriate language regarding
a trail system for the City of Mound to be included in the Comprehensive Plan.
Mound Planning Commission Minutes - October 25. 1999
Public Communication/Information Access
The Commissioners and staff agreed to remove the word "continue" at the beginning of
the sentence in number 1.
It was agreed that number 2 should be restated to read as follows: Continue to
encourage and provide public participation at Council and Commission meetings.
Number 3 should be restated to read: Ensure that elected and appointed officials are
provided timely and accurate information to assist with decision making by having
adequate staff.
3. RESOLUTION TO AMEND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
This resolution will be on the Agenda for the Park and Open Space Advisory
Commission Special Meeting on October 28, 1999. There was discussion by the
Commissioners regarding the resolution that indicated the resolution contained false
information.

Metricom
This is a supplement to the Metricom comments sent on November 1, 1999.
There was no discussion on the rental rights of the city regarding placement
of facilities on poles it owns. It is important as it relates to the
Metricom proposal to pay $60.00 per pole. Assuming a requirement that the
city make the ROW available to Metricom (not totally clear under the new ROW
statute), the pole is a city-owned asset that should be rentable for market
value. There should be no obligation on the city's part to allow use of a
pole it owns, provided the city does not prevent a reasonable alternative
ROW location to a ROW user who possesses a right to ROW access by law. The
statutory limits on fees charged by the city for access to the ROW by a
company providing data transmission services, should be distinguishable from
a city's right to rent its own asset in the ROW. But, note, the ROW
itself is not an asset the city may "rent" to statutorily authorized ROW
users. Note also that this separation is untested in the courts under the
new Minnesota ROW statute. If you have any questions, please call me at

SRA City Managers/Administrators/Delegates/Alternates
Desyl L. Peterson, City Attorney, City of Minnetonka
FROM: Jim Strommen
DATE:
November 1, 1999
Comments on Proposed Metricom Agreement
At the October 20, 1999 SRA meeting, the board authorized me to review and comment on a
document prepared by Metricom and submitted to a number of cities. The proposed "Right-of-
Way Permit and Facility Use Agreement" would be between a city and Metricom for placement of
radios as defined by Metricom using a network known as Ricochet®.
The following are my comments to this document. If you have not yet received the proposal from
Metricom, these comments will be of only general value. If you would like us to fax you a copy
please call or email my secretary Shannon Stang at sstang~kennedy-graven.com Because these
are attorney-client comments, I would ask that you keep these confidential to the extent possible.
General
Metricom appears to be employing a strategy of avoiding conflict with a city by offering more
fights and more fees than might otherwise be recoverable using a strict management cost recovery
approach. Metricom has an argument that it is a telecommunications right-of-way user that
would be entitled to use the fight-of-way only at a strict city management cost and subject only to
legitimate health, safety and welfare concerns. Metricom could further make the argument that
the equipment to be installed on municipally owned and utility owned poles is a minimal cost to
cities. This agreement does not take that approach. It uses a model employed by Metricom in
many other states, most of them with franchise fights over Metricom's use of the ROW and thus
greater fee requirements.
Despite the numerous provisions preserving the rights of cities, there are some items that are
important to change, as noted below.
SRA Memo
November 4, 1999
Page 2
1.1. Adjusted gross revenues. You should ask why Metricom seeks to calculate the adjusted
gross revenues by excluding the right-of-way management reimbursement, which is defined as one
percent of gross revenues. There are a number of other exclusions. Metricom should
demonstrate how it would calculate the fee so there is no misunderstanding. It would also be
important to determine what Metricom thinks it will gross from city customers to match up fees
to the city and cost. Two or three percent of gross revenues may be more appropriate if the
projected gross amount is low or uncertain.
1.9. Public right-of-Way. Metricom includes "places" in the definition of public right-of-way.
This word should be deleted because it opens the door to placement fights on non-fight-of-way
property that may be owned in fee. To the extent Metricom seeks to place its radios on water
towers or other land held by the city outside of the ROW, the city is in the position of a landlord
who can rent property for a market rate. As a trustee of the ROW, cities are limited to police
powers, not landlord rights, unless the legislature has granted franchise authority. That is an
important distinction.
The fact that Metricom's ROW definition does not include county or state highways does not
appear to make a difference regarding fees. The percentage of adjusted gross revenues would be
the same whether there existed limited or significant county, state or federal thoroughfares in a
city. Note, however, that cities have more significant management fights in county or county-
state aid highways, than they do regarding state trunk highways.
1.8. Municipal facilities. The broad definition of facilities goes with the inclusion of "places"
above. Metricom is seeking a broader right-of-presence than cities are obligated to provide.
State law grants a right to use a more narrowly defined public ROW. It does not require
permission to use non-ROW public land. Even if a "city-owned" structure is within the ROW, it
may not be the type of structure cities would want to be adorned with the radios.
2. Term. The length of this term with the automatic renewals is similar to the water tower lease
provisions insisted on by wireless providers. Their interest is having the assurance of a presence
over a long period of time. Cities have legitimate health, safety and welfare concerns that should
allow the city to terminate such an agreement if appropriate, however.
Further, the "market" may change dramatically within the nine years and cities may want the right
to terminate and renegotiate. This is a difficult issue because of the lack of authority cities
arguably have to negotiate a better deal (cities arguably cannot simply exclude Metricom).
Perhaps, one could add at the end of the third line after "herein" the term "or under rights granted
by law", to preserve termination rights for police power concerns.
3.3. No interference. A city needs to be careful of any agreement that requires it to include a
non-interference of Metricom's rights in other agreements that may be presented to the city by
competitors. The more competitors and non-interference agreements, the more tangled the web
JMS-171017vl
SU160-45
SRA Memo
November 4, 1999
Page 2
the city weaves. I do not' think any interference promises can be made where the city ultimately
has the management responsibility between and among all right-of-way users.
3.5. Location and installation of radios. The cities should retain the right to consent to the
location of the radios. This is an important power of cities that should not be waived.
4.4. Right-of-way management reimbursement. As you know, Metficom has entered into these
agreements in many other states. States with greater ROW franchise rights given to cities require
five or six percent as the fee. Cities do not enjoy franchise fights over providers like Metricom in
Minnesota. Nevertheless, a higher percentage could be justified. Cities do not know what the
actual gross revenues would be. If very small, the one percent is very small and maybe under the
costs. Further, there is a lag period built into this agreement both in 4.1 and in 4.2 and 4.2.1.
Metricom is paying the city necessarily after the results of the one year's worth of gross revenues
are in. It is also paying the $60.00 annual fee per poll on a basis adjusted only every five years.
Given the time value of money, the actual cost to Metricom goes down and the correlating value
the money paid to the city goes down. In contrast, water tower lease agreements provide for
prepayment by the water tower tenant, thus giving the city the benefit of the time value.
There should also be some protection that the gross revenue fee will not become a line item on
the customer's bill. IfMetricom is able to determine the gross revenues within a given city, it may
have the ability to identi~ such a fee on its bill and pass it through. This then turns into a
"franchise fee", and may become politically unpopular when such a fee is characterized as "city
tax" or "city fee" on the bill.
4.1.1. Reduction and right-of-way management reimbursement. I am not aware that any city
imposes the type of taxes described here. Please advise if any city has such authority.
4.1.2. Accounting matters. The city should require some obligation of Metricom to transmit the
records for review here. As it reads, someone from the city would be required to fly out to Los
Gatos to audit the accounts.
4.2. I understand that $60.00 is a standard fee used by Metricom throughout the country. Note,
however, the CPI adjustment(4.2.1.) is only every five years. This is a significant lag that results
in a catch-up to the standard rate only one out of the five years. The CPI should be applicable
every year.
4.5 Municipal subscriber program. Because these subscription programs are not required as a
condition by cities, it appears not to run afoul of the Minnesota right-of-way statute. Minn. Stat.
237.163 Sub. 7(d). Cities need to be careful, however, whenever extra services are thrown in to a
fee agreement. Competitors may complain that the city is promoting the provider with the city-
used units.
4.6 Most favored municipality clause. This excludes the percent of gross revenues provision. On
the one hand, this frees up cities to negotiate a different percentage of gross revenue without

NSP Undergrounding Tariff-Location Surcharge Issue
NSP-REQUESTED ADDITIONAL CITY SURCHARGE PROVISION FOR LOCATION
RELATED EXCESS COSTS
This is an update on an important issue that NSP has raised in connection with the
undergrounding tariff negotiations. I am seeking feedback from you on the impact NSP's desired
surcharge could have on city planning decisions.
The issue involves utility location directives made by a city, typically in connection with zoning
matters rather than location within the right-of-way. For example, a city might require a
substation to be relocated within the city due to zoning considerations. Or it may direct the
company to initially locate its facilities on or in a property that NSP regards as more expensive
than its "preferred" location. NSP, seeks to acquire surcharge authority in as yet undefined
circumstances when a city requires such a location or relocation. This surcharge authority would
not prohibit the city's fight to require the location. Rather, it would establish a mechanism of
surcharging of city customers to recover the excess cost of the location. Currently NSP has tariff
authority to surcharge for relocation requirements that are not related to public improvement
projects. This issue deals with initial location outside of the ROW, as NSP characterizes it, when
only aesthetic considerations are driving the city decision.
I have objected to inclusion of such a tariff provision in this proceeding. It is a far more
complicated issue for surcharging than is undergrounding. Each circumstances of location
disagreements between NSP and a city is unique. The question is whether such a cost, if greater
SRA Memorandum
November 4, 1999
Page 2
than NSP's standard cost, should be part of general rates or specific to the city, residents and
businesses.
Regardless of our objection, NSP is free to pursue such a provision, however, NSP intends to do
so. To gain more information on this I am inviting comments from cities regarding the
implications of any tariff provision creating a city non-right-of-way location requirement.
As you know, the purpose of this tariff has been to establish a surcharge mechanism for the
incremental excess cost to NSP to underground and similar special, non-standard facilities in the
fight-of-way when ordered by the city. I am satisfied with the agreement we have on rate design
and exceptions to city ratepayer surcharge, particularly now for county and state highway
projects. The tariff, as now drafted, will give the city the fight to object to city or city ratepayer
surcharge for state and county highway projects, and NSP will look exclusively to the state or
county.
In raising the location issue, NSP is not arguing that the police power could not be exercised by
the city. Rather, it is attempting to add another surcharge scheduled through the tariff, to recover
the incremental cost for this type of situation. My concern is with the difficulty in determine when
a location is more costly to the company, the mounting, effect of additional surcharges on city's
willingness to exercise legitimate police power decisions and a slippery slope of new surcharges
for local regulatory matters that would create mounting exceptions to the general rule of pooling
expenses incurred in different jurisdictions for general rates. For example, regulatory costs such
as permit fees will very from city to city. These differences are not itemized and surcharged to
city customers, but rather rolled into a pool of estimated expenses that are built into rates as
established in a general rate case. NSP is moving towards a surcharge structure for a greater
number of regulatory decisions made by a city.
Please respond with any questions you have for issue clarification. I am also interested in
examples of regular and routine location requirements cities make (not in the fight-of-way)
regarding utilities that could be implicated by this tariff, or other concerns your city public works
department would have were the surcharge structure to be expanded to matters of location.
This will be an ongoing discussion matter over the next several weeks. I have I am receiving a
draft copy of the other agreed upon tentatively agreed upon matters in the tariff I will share that
document with anyone who requests it.

creating the problem of precedent for Metricom. On the other hand, it dilutes the most favored
municipality clause if one city cuts a better deal, cities do not all benefit.
5. Relocation and displacement of radios and 5.1 Relocations at Metricom's Request. I would be
more comfortable with "reasonable" efforts rather than "best" efforts.
6. Indemnification and waiver. The indemnification protection built into the ROW rules allows
indemnification for the negligence of a city in issuing a permit or for failing to adequately inspect
or enforce terms of any permit, including this agreement. Those cities would not be liable for
such conduct under Minnesota law, but Metricom should undertake that defense, consistent with
PUC rules.
7. Insurance. The League of Cities typically wants the right to review a copy of the actual
insurance to ensure that the coverage is indeed as broad as represented in the certificate of
insurance.
11.3. Severability of provisions. I am not comfortable with a clause that provides this agreement
will be fully enforceable even if certain provisions from which the city benefits are declared illegal.
In other words, if you removed the gross revenues fee, the poll annual fee and free subscriptions
to the city, it is less likely that the city would have entered into the agreement. Absent the
agreement the city will retain strong management rights but perhaps lose total fees.
11.6. Attorneys fees. The cost of attorneys fees incurred by Metricom in a dispute will inevitably
be much higher than those incurred by a city. If it is not deleted there should be a limit on the
fees, e.g., $5,000.
11.8. Representations and warranties. I do not know that a city can warrant that the obligations
and rights of this agreement are fully enforceable. In the event that they are not, it is unclear
whether there is some right to damages that Metricom would have from such a warranty. The
only warranty that should be made is that the city and Metricom have the fight to execute this
agreement and be bound by it as a matter of corporate authority.
Possible Additional Provisions
The following are some additional provisions that could be included:
1. A. Metricom representation that these units will be used exclusively for the
described purposes.
2. Metricom will not materially change the size or color of the units.
3. Again, Metricom will not pass through the fees as a line item on the city
customers' bills.

4. As an SRA member, your city incurs a pro-rated cost of review of this agreement
(4.4) I can determine by city, the cost for reimbursement purposes. This pro-rata cost could then
be provided to Metricom for reimbursement, together with other costs.
5. Some type of performance bond should be required to ensure Metricom's proper
performance.
6. The city retains the right to require proof of compliance with FCC standards, at
Metricom's expense.
7. The city may further develop rules, regulations or specifications for pole
attachment or removal, following the execution of this agreement, and such rules shall be fully
incorporated into the agreement.
8. The city is not a partner or associate of Metricom.
These are matters that can be raised or negotiated as you see fit. Please advise regarding
Metricom reactions to various proposals. Again, it is unlikely that any given city has the right to
exclude Metricom from the public ROW.

SPA Update
I want to relate a couple of items of interest to the SIC/k:
1. I am pleased to report that Steve Minn, Commissioner of the
Dept. of Public Service/Commerce has accepted our invitation to speak at the
annual meeting at Edinburgh in Brooklyn Park. Please mark your calendars
for January 19 at 6 pm. It will be very interesting. A large turnout is
always of benefit when utility policy makers accept an invitation to an SRA
function. Comm. Minn will be a strong policy proponent in energy/telecom
matters during his tenure at the DPS.
2. I have reviewed the Metricom proposal and will be able to email
or mail my comments later today or Monday.
3. Please add your email addresses to our system. If you give
them to Shannon, that is your best bet they won't be lost in cyberspace.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
SRA City Managers/Administrators/Delegates/Alternates
Desyl L. Peterson, City Attorney, City of Minnetonka
FROM: Jim Strommen
DATE:
RE:
November 1, 1999
Comments on Proposed Metricom Agreement
At the October 20, 1999 SRA meeting, the board authorized me to review and comment on a
document prepared by Metricom and submitted to a number of cities. The proposed "Right-of-
Way Permit and Facility Use Agreement" would be between a city and Metricom for placement of
radios as defined by Metricom using a network known as Ricochet®.
The following are my comments to this document. If you have not yet received the proposal from
Metricom, these comments will be of only general value. If you would like us to fax you a copy
please call or email my secretary Shannon Stang at sstang~kennedy-graven.com Because these
are attorney-client comments, I would ask that you keep these confidential to the extent possible.
General
Metricom appears to be employing a strategy of avoiding conflict with a city by offering more
rights and more fees than might otherwise be recoverable using a strict management cost recovery
approach. Metricom has an argument that it is a telecommunications right-of-way user that
would be entitled to use the right-of-way only at a strict city management cost and subject only to
legitimate health, safety and welfare concerns. Metricom could further make the argument that
the equipment to be installed on municipally owned and utility owned poles is a minimal cost to
cities. This agreement does not take that approach. It uses a model employed by Metricom in
many other states, most of them with franchise rights over Metricom's use of the ROW and thus
greater fee requirements.
Despite the numerous provisions preserving the rights of cities, there are some items that are
important to change, as noted below.
SRA Memo
November 1, 1999
Page 2
1.1. Adjusted gross revenues. You should ask why Metricom seeks to calculate the adjusted
gross revenues by excluding the right-of-way management reimbursement, which is defined as one
percent of gross revenues. There are a number of other exclusions. Metricom should
demonstrate how it would calculate the fee so there is no misunderstanding. It would also be
important to determine what Metricom thinks it will gross from city customers to match up fees
to the city and cost. Two or three percent of gross revenues may be more appropriate if the
projected gross amount is low or uncertain.
1.9. Public right-of-way. Metricom includes "places" in the definition of public right-of-way.
This word should be deleted because it opens the door to placement rights on non-right-of-way
property that may be owned in fee. To the extent Metricom seeks to place its radios on water
towers or other land held by the city outside of the ROW, the city is in the position of a landlord
who can rent property for a market rate. As a trustee of the ROW, cities are limited to police
powers, not landlord fights, unless the legislature has granted franchise authority. That is an
important distinction.
The fact that Metricom's ROW definition does not include county or state highways does not
appear to make a difference regarding fees. The percentage of adjusted gross revenues would be
the same whether there existed limited or significant county, state or federal thoroughfares in a
city. Note, however, that cities have more significant management rights in county or county-
state aid highways, than they do regarding state trunk highways.
1.8. Municipal facilities. The broad definition of facilities goes with the inclusion of "places"
above. Metricom is seeking a broader fight-of-presence than cities are obligated to provide.
State law grants a right to use a more narrowly defined public ROW. It does not require
permission to use non-ROW public land. Even if a "city-owned" structure is within the ROW, it
may not be the type of structure cities would want to be adorned with the radios.
2. Term. The length of this term with the automatic renewals is similar to the water tower lease
provisions insisted on by wireless providers. Their interest is having the assurance of a presence
over a long period of time. Cities have legitimate health, safety and welfare concerns that should
allow the city to terminate such an agreement if appropriate, however.
Further, the "market" may change dramatically within the nine years and cities may want the right
to terminate and renegotiate. This is a difficult issue because of the lack of authority cities
arguably have to negotiate a better deal (cities arguably cannot simply exclude Metricom).
Perhaps, one could add at the end of the third line after "herein" the term "or under rights granted
by law", to preserve termination rights for police power concerns.
3.3. No interference. A city needs to be careful of any agreement that requires it to include a
non-interference of Metricom's rights in other agreements that may be presented to the city by
competitors. The more competitors and non-interference agreements, the more tangled the web
JMS-171017vl
SU 16045
SRA Memo
November 1, 1999
Page 2
the city weaves. I do not' think any interference promises can be made where the city ultimately
has the management responsibility between and among all right-of-way users.
3.5. Location and installation of radios. The cities should retain the right to consent to the
location of the radios. This is an important power of cities that should not be waived.
4.4. Right-of-way management reimbursement. As you know, Metricom has entered into these
agreements in many other states. States with greater ROW franchise rights given to cities require
five or six percent as the fee. Cities do not enjoy franchise rights over providers like Metricom in
Minnesota. Nevertheless, a higher percentage could be justified. Cities do not know what the
actual gross revenues would be. If very small, the one percent is very small and maybe under the
costs. Further, there is a lag period built into this agreement both in 4.1 and in 4.2 and 4.2.1.
Metricom is paying the city necessarily after the results of the one year's worth of gross revenues
are in. It is also paying the $60.00 annual fee per poll on a basis adjusted only every five years.
Given the time value of money, the actual cost to Metricom goes down and the correlating value
the money paid to the city goes down. In contrast, water tower lease agreements provide for
prepayment by the water tower tenant, thus giving the city the benefit of the time value.
There should also be some protection that the gross revenue fee will not become a line item on
the customer's bill. IfMetricom is able to determine the gross revenues within a given city, it may
have the ability to identify such a fee on its bill and pass it through. This then tums into a
"franchise fee", and may become politically unpopular when such a fee is characterized as "city
tax" or "city fee" on the bill.
4.1.1. Reduction and right-of-way management reimbursement. I am not aware that any city
imposes the type of taxes described here. Please advise if any city has such authority.
4.1.2. Accounting matters. The city should require some obligation of Metricom to transmit the
records for review here. As it reads, someone from the city would be required to fly out to Los
Gatos to audit the accounts.
4.2. I understand that $60.00 is a standard fee used by Metricom throughout the country. Note,
however, the CPI adjustment(4.2.1.) is only every five years. This is a significant lag that results
in a catch-up to the standard rate only one out of the five years. The CPI should be applicable
every year.
4.5 Municipal subscriber program. Because these subscription programs are not required as a
condition by cities, it appears not to run afoul of the Minnesota right-of-way statute. Minn. Stat.
237.163 Sub. 7(d). Cities need to be careful, however, whenever extra services are thrown in to a
fee agreement. Competitors may complain that the city is promoting the provider with the city-
used units.
4.6 Most favored municipality clause. This excludes the percent of gross revenues provision. On
the one hand, this frees up cities to negotiate a different percentage of gross revenue without

creating the problem of precedent for Metricom. On the other hand, it dilutes the most favored
municipality clause if one city cuts a better deal, cities do not all benefit.
5. Relocation and displacement of radios and 5.1 Relocations at Metricom's Request. I would be
more comfortable with "reasonable" efforts rather than "best" efforts.

Dear City of Mound,
We are writing to inform you of items generated from a discussion held after
the presentation of the Westonka student survey data on June 29th, 1999. The
Minnesota student survey is given to the same group of students while they are in 6,
9, and 12 grade. The survey offers a comprehensive glimpse into the lives and minds
of adolescents by providing important comparative data related to at risk behavior.
· lock down schools for safety
· stress the importance of role modeling
· make enjoyable places for kids to go
· create fun things for kids to do in the Westonka area
· talk to booster groups or coaches to make smoke free sporting events
· publish assets for more people to see
· teens mentoring teens
· city banners promoting health
· anger and stress management classes
· parent information on how to deal with stress er anger in kids
· "this isn't your dad's marijuana" campaign
· adult mentoring/peer counseling
· faith community agree on shared values and promote them
· leadership training/support groups
· smoke free public places/parks.
We recognize your organizations contribution to our community. Your
knowledge of this list is essential. Working together we can address the issues that
confront our youth. By addressing one or more of these items, you will help our
community to be a better place for adolescents to grow.
The Westonka Healthy Community Collaborative (WHCC) is distributing this
list and our work groups are addressing several of the items in the programs listed in
our letterhead on the left. For additional information or assistance contact the
Collaborative at 491-8058.
Seeking to strengthen
and connect our
community in healthy
creative ways.
