SECTION 2. ADOPTION OF FRANCHISE.
2.1 Grant of Franchise. City hereby grants Company, for a period of 20
years, the right to transmit and furnish electric energy for light, heat, power and other
purposes for public and private use within and through the limits of the City as its
boundaries now exist or as they may be extended in the future. For these purposes,
0 2
• Company may construct, operate, repair and maintain Electric Facilities in, on, over,
under and across the Public Ways and Public Grounds of City, subject to the
provisions of this Ordinance. Company may do all reasonable things necessary or
customary to accomplish these purposes, subject, however, to such reasonable
regulations as may be imposed by the City pursuant to ordinance and to the further
provisions of this franchise agreement.
2.2 Effective Date; Written Acceptance. This franchise shall be in force
and effect from and after its passage and its acceptance by Company, and its
publication as required by law. An acceptance by Company must be filed with the
City Manager/Clerk within 90 days after publication.
2.3. Service, Rates and Area. The service to be provided and the rates to be
charged by Company for electric service in City are subject to the jurisdiction of the
Commission. The area within the City in which Company may provide electric
service is subject to the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 216B.40. However,
during the term of this franchise, Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 216B, may be amended
or repealed in a manner to: (1) allow City by franchise agreement or otherwise to
• directly establish service area boundaries between electric suppliers providing electric
service within the municipal limits of City, or (2) permit City by franchise agreement
or otherwise to establish service area boundaries which must be followed by the
Commission in an application to it to revise service area boundaries previously
established by the Commission, unless the Commission finds the requested revision
would create an unreasonable duplication of facilities or such revision is for another
reason not in the best interest of the public. If this occurs, City may by resolution
direct Company to negotiate an amendment to this franchise agreement establishing
such service area boundaries. If no amendment to this franchise occurs within 90
days after the date a written copy of such resolution is served upon Company, City
may, upon 30 days prior written notice to Company, terminate this franchise by
ordinance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, City shall not take any action which
deprives Company of the right to provide service to any customer of Company
existing at the time of City's action to terminate for the entire term of this franchise
set forth in Section 2.1 unless Company, for its investment in Electric Facilities
reasonably necessary to serve such customer, is duly compensated in accordance with
the provisions of an applicable statute, or regulation thereunder, of the State of
Minnesota for its investment and loss of revenue.
0 3
•
2.4. Publication Expense. The expense of publication of this Ordinance shall
be paid by Company.
2.5. Dispute Resolution. If either party asserts that the other party is in
default in the performance of any obligation hereunder, the complaining party shall
notify the other party of the default and the desired remedy. The notification shall be
written. Representatives of the parties must promptly meet and attempt in good faith
to negotiate a resolution of the dispute. If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days
of the written notice, the parties may jointly select a mediator to facilitate further
discussion. The parties will equally share the fees and expenses of this mediator. If
a mediator is not used or if the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days
after first meeting with the selected mediator, either party may commence an action
in District Court to interpret and enforce this franchise or for such other relief as may
be permitted by law or equity for breach of contract, or either party may take any
other action permitted by law.
3.1 Location of Facilities. Electric Facilities shall be located and constructed
so as not to interfere with the safety and convenience of ordinary travel along and
over Public Ways and so as not to disrupt normal operation of any City Utility System
previously installed therein. Electric Facilities shall be located on Public Grounds as
determined by the City. Company's construction, reconstruction, operation, repair,
maintenance and location of Electric Facilities shall be subject to other reasonable
regulations of the City. Under this franchise agreement the City does not relinquish
its police power regulatory authority and Company does not relinquish its eminent
domain authority. Company may abandon underground Electric Facilities in place
provided at City's request Company removes abandoned concrete enclosed conduit
interfering with a City improvement project if such conduit is uncovered as part of the
City improvement project.
3.2 Field Locations. Company shall provide field locations for any of its
underground Electric Facilities consistent with the requirements of Minnesota
Statutes, Chapter 216D.
• 4
3.3 Street O enp ings. Company shall not open or disturb the paved surface
of any Public Way or Public Ground for any purpose without first having obtained
permission from the City, for which the City may impose a reasonable fee. Permit
conditions imposed on Company shall not be more burdensome than those imposed
on other utilities for similar facilities or work. Company may, however, open and
disturb the paved surface of any Public Way or Public Ground without permission
from the City where an emergency exists requiring the immediate repair of Electric
Facilities. In such event Company shall notify the City by telephone to the office
designated by the City as soon as practicable. Not later than the second working day
thereafter, Company shall obtain any required permits and pay any required fees.
3.4 Restoration. After undertaking any work requiring the opening of any
Public Way or Public Ground, Company shall restore the same, including paving
and its foundation, to as good a condition as formerly existed, and shall maintain any
paved surface in good condition for two years thereafter. The work shall be
completed as promptly as weather permits, and if Company shall not promptly
perform and complete the work, remove all dirt, rubbish, equipment and material,
and put the Public Way or Public Ground in the said condition, the City shall have,
• after demand to Company to cure and the passage of a reasonable period of time
following the demand, but not to exceed five days, the right to make the restoration
at the expense of Company. Company shall pay to the City the cost of such work done
for or performed by the City, including its administrative expense and overhead, plus
ten percent additional as liquidated damages. This remedy shall be in addition to any
other remedy available to the City for noncompliance with this Section 3.4.
3.5 Shared Use of Poles. Company shall make space available on its poles
or towers for City fire, water utility, police or other City facilities whenever such use
will not interfere with the use of such poles or towers by Company, by another electric
utility, by a telephone utility, or by any cable television company or other form of
communication company. In addition, the City shall pay for any added cost incurred
by Company because of such use by City.
3.6 Building and Relocations. Company, at the request of any person
holding a building moving permit, shall temporarily remove, raise, or lower its
overhead wires. The expense of such temporary removal, raising, or lowering of
0 5
• overhead wires shall be paid by person(s) requesting the same, and Company shall
have the authority to require such payment in advance.
3.7 Avoid Damage to Electric Facilities. Nothing in this Ordinance relieves
any person from liability arising out of the failure to exercise reasonable care to avoid
damaging Electric Facilities while performing any activity.
3.8 Notice of Improvements. The City must give Company reasonable
notice of plans for improvements to Public Ways or Public Ground where the City
has reason to believe that Electric Facilities may affect or be affected by the
improvement. The notice must contain: (i) the nature and character of the
improvements, (ii) the Public Ways and Public Grounds upon which the
improvements are to be made, (iii) the extent of the improvements, (iv) the time when
the City will start the work, and (v) if more than one Public Way or Public Ground is
involved, the order in which the work is to proceed. The notice must be given to
Company a sufficient length of time in advance of the actual commencement of the
work to permit Company to make any necessary additions, alterations or repairs to its
Electric Facilities.
SECTION 4. RELOCATIONS.
4.1 Relocation of Electric Facilities in Public Was. Except as provided in
Section 4.3, if the City determines to vacate a Public Way for a City improvement
project, or grade, regrade, or change the line of any Public Way at public cost, or
construct or reconstruct any City Utility System in any Public Way, it may order
Company to relocate its Electric Facilities located therein if relocation is reasonably
necessary to accomplish the City's proposed public improvement. Company shall
relocate its Electric Facilities at its own expense. Company need not relocate at its
own expense for an improvement in the Public Way performed to accommodate an
adjoining landowner which improvement is conditioned upon such adjoining
landowner paying the cost of making the improvement. The City shall give Company
reasonable notice of plans to vacate for a City improvement project, or to grade,
regrade, or change the line of any Public Way or to construct or reconstruct any City
Utility System. If a relocation is ordered within five years of a prior relocation of the
same Electric Facilities, which was made at Company expense, the City shall
reimburse Company for Non -Betterment Costs on a time and material basis, provided
0 6
• that if a subsequent relocation is required because of the extension of a City Utility
System to a previously unserved area, Company may be required to make the
subsequent relocation at its expense. Nothing in this Ordinance requires Company to
relocate, remove, replace or reconstruct at its own expense its Electric Facilities where
such relocation, removal, replacement or reconstruction is solely for the convenience
of the City and is not reasonably necessary for the construction or reconstruction of
a Public Way or City Utility System or other City improvement.
4.2 Relocation of Electric Facilities in Public Ground. Except as may be
provided in Section 4.3, City may require Company to relocate or remove its Electric
Facilities from Public Ground upon a finding by City that the Electric Facilities have
become or will become a substantial impairment of the public use to which the Public
Ground is or will be put. The relocation or removal shall be at Company's expense.
4.3 Projects with Federal Funding. Relocation, removal, or rearrangement
of any Company Electric Facilities made necessary because of the extension into or
through City of a federally -aided highway project shall be governed by the provisions
of Minnesota Statutes, Section 161.46 as supplemented or amended. It is understood
that the right herein granted to Company is a valuable right. City shall not order
10 Company to remove or relocate its Electric Facilities when a Public Way is vacated,
improved or realigned because of a renewal or a redevelopment plan which is
financially subsidized in whole or in part by the Federal Government or any agency
thereof, unless the reasonable Non -Betterment Costs of such relocation and the loss
and expense resulting therefrom are first paid to Company, but the City need not pay
those portions of such for which reimbursement to it is not available.
4.4 No Waiver. The provisions of Section 4 apply only to Electric Facilities
constructed in reliance on a franchise and Company does not waive its rights under
an easement or prescriptive right, or State or County permit.
. 4.5 Change to Underground. If required by the City, Company shall change
from overhead to underground, at City expense based on Company's Total Cost, in
any area where: (1) the City requests underground lines and all other lines thereafter
are changed from overhead to underground, or (2) any overhead line is changed to
underground by the open trench with telephone and/or cable television, and Company
can share trench at a cost not to exceed Company's pro rata share of the cost of the
9 7
• trenching. Prior to commencement of construction by Company of any particular
project, the City shall deliver a written commitment to pay the Total Cost for the
project as estimated by Company.
SECTION 5. TREE TRIMMING.
Company may trim all trees and shrubs in the Public Ways and Public Grounds
of City interfering with the proper construction, operation, repair and maintenance of
any Electric Facilities installed hereunder, provided that Company shall save the City
harmless from any liability arising therefrom, and subject to permit or other
reasonable regulation by the City.
SECTION 6. INDEMNIFICATION.
6.1 Indemnity of City. Company shall indemnify, keep and hold the City
free and harmless from any and all liability on account of injury to persons or damage
to property occasioned by the construction, maintenance, repair, inspection, the
issuance of permits, or the operation of the Electric Facilities located in the Public
• Ways and Public Grounds. The City shall not be indemnified for losses or claims
occasioned through its own negligence except for losses or claims arising out of or
alleging the City's negligence as to the issuance of permits for, or inspection of,
Company's plans or work. The City shall not be indemnified if the injury or damage
results from the performance in a proper manner of acts reasonably deemed hazardous
by Company, and such performance is nevertheless ordered or directed by City after
notice of Company's determination.
6.2 Defense of City. In the event a suit is brought against the City under
circumstances where this agreement to indemnify applies, Company at its sole cost
and expense shall defend the City in such suit if written notice thereof is promptly
given to Company within a period wherein Company is not prejudiced by lack of
such notice. If Company is required to indemnify and defend, it will thereafter have
control of such litigation, but Company may not settle such litigation without the
consent of the City, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This section
is not, as to third parties, a waiver of any defense or immunity otherwise available to
the City; and Company, in defending any action on behalf of the City shall be entitled
8
• to assert in any action every defense or immunity that the City could assert in its own
behalf.
SECTION 7. VACATION OF PUBLIC WAYS.
The City shall give Company at least two weeks prior written notice of a
proposed vacation of a Public Way. Except where required for a City improvement
project, the vacation of any Public Way, after the installation of Electric Facilities,
shall not operate to deprive Company of its rights to operate and maintain such
Electric Facilities, until the reasonable cost of relocating the same and the loss and
expense resulting from such relocation are first paid to CompanyCompany. In no
case, however, shall City be liable to Company for failure to specifically preserve a
right-of-way under Minnesota Statutes, Section 160.29.
SECTION 8. CHANGE IN FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
Any change in the form of government of the City shall not affect the validity
of this Ordinance. Any governmental unit succeeding the City shall, without the
consent of Company, succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the City provided
in this Ordinance.
SECTION 9. FRANCHISE FEE.
9.1. Separate Ordinance. During the term of the franchise hereby granted,
and in lieu of any permit or other fees being imposed on Company, the City may
impose on Company a franchise fee of not more than five percent of
CompanyCompany's Gross Revenues as hereinafter defined. The franchise fee shall
be imposed by a separate ordinance duly adopted by the City Council, which
ordinance shall not be adopted until at least 60 days after written notice enclosing
such proposed ordinance has been served upon Company by certified mail. The fee
shall not become effective until at least 60 days after written notice enclosing such
adopted ordinance has been served upon Company by certified mail. Section 2.5 shall
constitute the sole remedy for solving disputes between Company and the City in
regard to the interpretation of, or enforcement of, the separate ordinance. No action
by the City to implement a separate ordinance will commence until this Ordinance is
effective. A separate ordinance which imposes a lesser franchise fee on the
0 9
• residential class of customers then on other classifications of customers shall not be
effective against Company.
9.2 Terms Defined. For the purpose of this Section 9, the following
definitions apply:
9.2.1 "Delivery Component" of electric service means the portion of
the retail rate paid by the customer to compensate Company for the use of
transmission and distribution facilities, including investment costs and all expenses
of constructing, operating and maintaining such facilities.
9.2.2 "Discount Rate" means a reduced electric retail rate for a
customer or class of customers approved by the Commission for service to a customer
of Company located within City to respond to competition from the threat of (i) self -
generation or (ii) the conversion of customer -equipment to use a form of energy other
than electricity.
9.2.3 "Gross Revenues" means all sums received by Company from
the sale or delivery of electricity to its retail customers within the corporate limits of
the City, excluding any surcharge, sales tax, miscellaneous tariff charges or any
similar addition to Company's charges to customers for the purpose of reimbursing
Company for the franchise fee, sales tax, or similar charge. The term "Gross
Revenues" shall also exclude all revenues received by Company from the sale of
electric service provided under a Discount Rate.
9.2.4 "Supply Component" of electric service means the portion of the
retail rate paid by the consumer to compensate the supplier for electric capacity and/or
energy delivered to the consumer, including investment costs and all expenses of
producing or purchasing such capacity and/or energy.
9.3 Discount Rate Adjustment. If the City adopts a separate ordinance as
described in Section 9.1, thereafter Company shall give City written notice of any
Commission proceedings relating to implementation of a Discount Rate for a
specifically identified customer within the City. In addition, if both a separate
ordinance and a Discount Rate are in effect, Company and City may mutually agree
by letter agreement that Company will collect a franchise fee on the Discount Rate
9 10
• equal to, or the equivalent of, the fee or tax the City would have received if the
customer had elected to purchase the competing form of energy instead of electric
service from Company.
9.4 Exclusive Electric Service. Company has agreed to collect and pay any
franchise fee imposed pursuant to this Section 9 only so long as the law allows
Company to be the exclusive provider of both the Supply Component and the
Delivery Component of retail electric service to its defined service area within the
City. Company's exclusive service status is currently provided under Minnesota
Statutes, Section 21613.37 et seq. If Company is no longer the exclusive provider of
both the Supply Component and the Delivery Component of retail service within City,
Company's obligation to collect and pay a franchise fee on such retail electric service
shall terminate upon 20 days Notice to City. However, Company agrees to collect and
pay any applicable franchise fee imposed by the City on the revenues from the
Delivery Component of electric service provided by Company to retail customers
located within the City under the applicable Commission -approved Delivery
Component of Company's retail electric service rates. This franchise fee on the
Commission -approved Delivery Component of electric retail service shall apply
• whether Company or another entity provides the Supply Component of the retail
electric service to such customer.
9.5 Collection of the Fee. The franchise fee shall be payable quarterly and
shall be based on the Gross Revenues of Company during complete billing months
during the period for which payment is to be made. The payment shall be due the last
business day of the month following the period for which the payment is made. The
percent fee may be changed by ordinance from time to time; however, each change
shall meet the same notice requirements and the percentage may not be changed more
often than annually. Such fee shall not exceed any amount which Company may
legally charge to its customers prior to payment to the City by imposing a surcharge
equivalent to such fee in its rates for electric service. Company may pay the City the
fee based upon the surcharge billed subject to subsequent reductions to account for
uncollectibles, refunds and correction of erroneous billings. The time and manner of
collecting the franchise fee is subject to the approval of the Commission, which
Company agrees to use best efforts to obtain. Company agrees to make its Gross
Revenues records available for inspection by the City at reasonable times.
9 11
9.6 Conditions on the Fee. The separate ordinance imposing the fee shall
not be effective against Company unless it lawfully imposes and the City quarterly
or more often collects a fee or tax of the same or greater percentage on the receipts
from sales of energy within the City by any other energy supplier, provided that, as
to such a supplier, the City has the authority to require a franchise fee or to impose a
tax. The franchise fee or tax shall be applicable to energy sales for any energy use
related to heating, cooling, or lighting, as well as to the supply of energy needed to
run machinery and appliances on premises located within or adjacent to the City, but
shall not apply to energy sales for the purpose of providing fuel for vehicles.
9.7 Exception to Equal Fee Requirement. The requirement in Section 9.6 to
impose an equal fee on any other energy supplier will not apply if the franchise fee
is dedicated to paying the cost of undergrounding Electric Facilities belonging to
Company provided that: (1) the City shall maintain such an undergrounding franchise
fee in a separate account and shall not use it for any other purpose other than
reimbursing Company for the cost of undergrounding its Electric Facilities; and (2)
provided that collection of the franchise fee will terminate when the balance in the
account exceeds the amount Company estimates is necessary to reimburse it for the
cost of undergrounding projects, which the City has given notice of under Section 4.5
or which Company and City have otherwise agreed Company should perform on a
reimbursement basis. Company will not terminate the collection of such a franchise
fee without providing the City with at least 30 days prior written notice. After
completion of all scheduled projects at the time of termination of the franchise fee, the
City may use any remaining balance in the account for its general purposes. Any
franchise fee imposed on Company as authorized by this Section 9.7 shall be the
exclusive fee payable by Company under this franchise until the City, by ordinance,
repeals the separate ordinance imposing the fee under this Section 9.7.
SECTION 10. FRANCHISE REOPENER.
. After this franchise agreement has been in effect for ten years, the City may
give Company Notice that City desires to amend this franchise agreement to
incorporate specific provisions which Company has agreed to in the electric franchise
agreement for two or more other cities of the second, third or fourth class in the
seven -county metropolitan area, based on a franchise ordinance adopted by such cities
after the date of this franchise agreement, which cities are identified in the Notice. If
0 12
Company refuses to do so within 90 days after receiving said Notice from the City,
the City may terminate this franchise agreement upon 30 days prior written Notice
unless Company gives Notice to the City within said 30-day period that it will
immediately agree to accept an amendment to this Ordinance incorporating the
desired franchise provisions existing in two or more other cities as referenced in the
City's Notice. The termination will not be effective until after completion of any
dispute resolution proceedings under Section 2.5 commenced by Company within said
30-day period, which proceeding confirms the City's action to be in compliance with
this Section 10.
SECTION 11. PROVISIONS OF ORDINANCE.
11.1 Severability. Every section, provision, or part of this Ordinance is
declared separate from every other section, provision, or part; and if any section,
provision, or part shall be held invalid, it shall not affect any other section, provision,
or part. Where a provision of any other City ordinance conflicts with the provisions
of this Ordinance, the provisions of this Ordinance shall prevail.
• 11.2 Limitation on Applicability. This Ordinance constitutes a franchise
agreement between the City and Company as the only parties and no provision of
this franchise shall in any way inure to the benefit of any third person (including the
public at large) so as to constitute any such person as a third party beneficiary of the
agreement or of any one or more of the terms hereof, or otherwise give rise to any
cause of action in any person not a party hereto.
SECTION 12. AMENDMENT.
This Ordinance may be amended at any time by the City passing a subsequent
ordinance declaring the provisions of the amendment, which amendatory ordinance
shall become effective upon the filing of Company's written consent thereto with the
City Manager/Clerk within 90 days after the effective date of the amendatory
ordinance.
