PROJECT NO, 92 -01 -- ROBERTS ROAD Engineer Rodeberg reviewed the project and the pro- posed assessment costs of approximately $150 per • parcel. 51 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - JANUARY 28, 1992 • Mr. Ron Carlson, 540 Graham Street, inquired about the assessment on Graham and asked if there would be a sewer going down the middle of Betker's lot. The City Engineer responded affirmatively and stated Roberts Road costs would be mostly covered by state aid funds. It was designated a state aid road because of the high traffic volume. The new street surface should last about 30 years. He commented there were few lots along the stretch, and only seven properties were assessable. The assessment cost for residents would be based on a residential street. The commercial and industrial lots would be assessed a higher rate. The City would try to schedule the project immediately after school ends for summer vacation. Mr. Clinton Gruett, 1114 Roberts Road, objected to the way the streets were assessed. He thought the City should look at a different way of paying for the streets since everyone uses the streets in town. Mr. Gruett suggested the developer pay for the first time, and then the tax payers pay for all the streets in the City. The City could use a bond • for street maintenance. He didn_t__thi[1k At was fair that a person had:to,pay.for_ the street ,.in front of his /her property:_,-. - Engineer Rodeberg responded the City can not afford to bond for all improvements due to bonding limits. He stated there were other financing methods to consider, but noted that all residents now pay only a portion for the costs to reconstruct streets. Attorney Anderson commented the State forces things on the City because of levy limitations. Mayor Ackland reported that about 25 years ago the special assessments were spread out over the entire City. Then the City Council changed the policy be- cause it was financially unfeasible to continue in that manner. 2.

The initial term of the agreement is for a one year period upon which time it will be reviewed. If you will recall, I had asked for a five year term to coincide with my financial obligations at Marquette Bank in Hutchinson. The one year period should begin on June 1, 1991 the actual date the agreement went into effect. That way the agreement will cover four quarters ie., summer and fall (already paid), winter and spring. The agreement will terminate on May 31, 1992 and will be considered for extension at that time. The intent of the original agreement was for a one year period. The Council action of December 10, 1991 will reduce that to seven months. (June - December 1991). Please extend the contract to May 31, 1992 at your earliest convenience. Very truly yours, HUTCH INC. i W.R. Blcck M UG W.R. BLOCK GENERAL MANAGER • 612-228-9564 Y --�4 ARNOLD Sc MCDOWELL DAVID E.

The matter was referred to our office as counsel for the City of Hutchinson. As you know, the City Council approved the. meter reading experiment_ through the end of calendar year 1991. This was the time period contemplated by the original discussion over a year ago, although that discussion never resulted in a formal agreement. In discussing the matter with the City Council, I don't believe there is any significant support for extending the agreement beyond December 31, 1991. On the other hand, it would be my recommendation to the City Council that they approve an extension through May 31, 1992 settling all claims and potential claims arising out of the meter reading issue. From the Council's perspective, this would have the affect of terminating the endless discussion of the storm and sanitary sewer issues and on that basis, I believe the Council could justify deviating from its prior course. Obviously, I cannot speak for the Council on this issue, but I believe my recommendation would be given great weight. Please give me a call if you would like to visit about this matter further. Thank you. Best regards. Very truly yours, ARNOLD & McDOWELL A 0 G.

Hutchinson, MN 55350 Dear Mr. Plotz: Received the January 14, 1992 memorandum from Mr. DeVries relative to the monitoring of a sanitary sewer manhole between 11/28/89 and 12/3/89. The total amount of flow measured was 326,610 gallons. This number was then compared to the winter quarter of 1989 which includes the months of December 89, January and February 1990. The , memorandum implies that the average flow through the sewer was 54,435 gpd and the average flow through the master meter was 45,522 gpd• First of all, if the City was monitoring the sewer manhole it is inconceivable that the master meter was not read on the same days. Secondly, three days of the monitoring occurred in the fall quarter and three days in the winter quarter. Therefore the use of the winter quarter only as a comparison is incorrect. Thirdly, the accuracy of the manhole monitoring equipment at low flows is ±25 %. If the purpose of the monitoring was to determine infiltration, the water should have been shut off for a minimum of eight hours. Then all flow through the sewer could have been considered infiltration. As it stands, your monitoring results are absolutely meaningless. They have nothing to do with the fact that we have agreed to pay for all water passing through the master meter and all water (as sewer charges) passing through the individual meters. If our account is being selected as one that should pay sewer charges on infiltration then it should be applied on a city wide basis. If your main concern is the loss of revenue due to finally billing our account fairly, then I suggest modifying the billing rates city wide. Again, our concern is that we are treated fairly. We have been overbilled for years. The city has benefitted from the overbilling. Now we have a system that works. If the city is short of revenues, increase the rates to all users. Very truly yours, HUTCH INC. • W.R. Block W.R. BLOCK, GENERAL MANAGER • 612 -228 -9564 ?---A HUTCH, INC. 389 EAST KELLOGG BOULEVARD • ST. PAUL. MN • 55101 J • January 22, 1992 Mr. G. Barry Anderson ARNOLD & MCDOWELL 101 Park Place Hutchinson, MN 55350 -2563 FOR YOUR INFORMAT1ON Dear Mr. Anderson: Received your letter of January 16, 1992. You continue to refer to my installation of meters and expenditure of $30,000 as an "experiment". I can assure you that I would not incur debt on behalf of my stockholders to forego an experiment. There was an agreement as to how Country Club Terrace would be billed for water and sewer if I were to install meters. The one year period was included when you drafted the first agreement. This was an inadvertent clause in the contract which was not included in the council action approving the billing procedure. When I mentioned the conflict between the one year period and the amortization period of the debt incurred to install meters you drafted another agreement which included a five year period. The City Council rejected this agreement and decided to renege on the agreement entirely. After I presented a signed agreement by the City officials, the City Council authorized a one year agreement. It is my contention that the one year period should begin on the day the agreement became effective, namely June 1, 1991. Prior to that date the agreement was meaningless. I still maintain that I had an agreement with the City whereupon following the installation of meters, no later than June 1, 1991, the method of billing for water and sewer would be established indefinitely. The City certainly had the right to modify water and sewer rates on a City wide basis. However to substantially change the method of billing after I incurred the cost of installing meters and established an administration to monitor and bill my tenants is certainly a breach of contract on the part of the City. I cannot understand the reluctance of the City Council to move forward as agreed. The City is paid for all water used by Country Club Terrace. The City is paid for all sewerage entering the sanitary sewer system. This is a very fair system of billing. As expected, the installation of meters has had a dramatic effect of the per capita water use. As a result , the City will lose revenue. If the City wishes to make up for lost revenue at Country — 1 0 Club Terrace they should increase the water and /or sewer rates City wide. We will pay our fair share. W.R. BLOCK, GENERAL MANAGER • 812 -229 -9584 /� ' January 22, 1992 Mr. Anderson Page 2 My main concern is that we have in the past been paying sewer charges on water that does not enter the sewer. Like any municipality we have watermain breaks, leakage at water services, flush hydrants, etc. The lion's share of water /sewer charges is the sewer charge, ie., 400 /1000 vs. $2.30/1000. The individual meters unquestionably resolve the problem. The City Council agreed in January, 1991. For the present, please convince the Council that it's in their best interest to extend the agreement to May 31, 1992. I certainly do not want to litigate this matter. Thank You. Very truly yours, HUTCH INC. W.R. Block ,. cc: Jeff Bonner, atty. I AEL DATE: February 5, 1992 TO: Mayor and City Council EA J FROMt John P. Rodeberg, Director of Engineering Randy DeVries, Director of Water /Wastewater Operations REs Water Storage Tank Construction It is currently proposed to design the proposed Water Storage Tank for South Park in 1992 and begin construction in 1993. Based on the Distribution System Analysis completed by RCH, and reviewed by the Minnesota Department of Health, this 500,000 gallon tank will be needed by then. We strongly recommend that RCH be engaged to complete the engineering for the project. Although in the past we have sometimes requested proposals from consultants, we believe it is more advantageous to work with RCM for the following reasons: ► They have worked on the City's water system for a substantial number of years and know every part of the current system. ► RCN has completed the Distribution System Analysis, Water Treatment Facility Improvements, and the two existing water storage tanks, as well as other numerous projects in the City. ► Chuck Barger, the proposed project manager, has substantial experience in Hutchinson, as well as in other parts of Minnesota, and has proven to be reliable, cost conscious, innovative and technically adept. He will be the project manager through project completion. 0 With our limited staffing, we are nervous at having to spend time and effort bringing another consultant "up- to- speed ". We strongly believe that utilizing RCM will provide a better product at a more reasonable cost. We recommend authorizing negotiation of a contract with RCH for these consulting services. We propose to establish a "not -to- exceed" cost that will be reviewed for fairness.

Cable Partners, L.P. I am enclosing for the Council's information, a copy of the registration for the meeting and as you can see, there were a number of communities represented at the meeting. The City of Hutchinson cable franchise does not expire for another couple of years. However, the City is entitled to conduct an investigation of the proposed franchisee to whom the franchise will be transferred and does have limited rights to reject a franchisee if the franchisee is obviously unsuitable. The kinds of grounds which would justify disapproval include lack of qualification on the buyer's part, refusal on the buyer's part to undertake franchise obligations, a failure on the part of the buyer to agree to lawfully imposed conditions, the possibility that the buyer might present a risk to the community of non compliance and general legal, technical and financial qualifications. • ABNOLD & McDOWELL ATTORNEYS AT LAW 101 PARE PLACE H UTCHINSON, MINNESOTA 55350 256 (612) 567 -7575 L PAX (612) 56) -4096 L �� 'CERTIFIED AS A CIVIL TRIAL SPECIALIST BY THE MIN7NESOTA STATE BAR ASSOCIATION 'CERTIFIED AS A REAL PROPERTY LAW SPECTASI ST BY THE MINNESOTA STATE BAR ASSOCIATION /O r ' lk Mr. Gary D.

It would be the recommendation of the Cable Television Advisor Committee that this agreement be approve ad n�Fa oss arnett ermined by the City to re resent the Cit 's interests in t he overall review of the a ifications o f D .D. Cab a Pa rtners. The retainer agreement wou d Dot include specific items of negotiation between the City and the proposed franchisee, although I would be involved in those issues as City Attorney. • You should also be aware that the Minnesota Cable Communications Act and the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 contemplate that the franchisee would be required to pay reasonable attorney's • fees incurred in the review process. While there are no guarantees, it thus appears to be reasonable to expect that the financial commitment the City makes at the present time will likely be reimbursed at the time the review process is completed and the City approves the change in franchise. I did have a question regarding the City's obligation to Moss & Barnett if fewer than the anticipated number of communities were to sign up, and Moss & Barnett has confirmed and agreed that the maximum charge to the City will be the $1,250.00 specified in the retainer agreement. By separate correspondence (see enclosed) , I have corresponded with D. D. Cable Partners, L.P. and advised them that this review process is underway. The City Council should also be aware that we have undertaken a request for bids on the performance of a technical audit of the system which would not be included in the performance review by Moss & Barnett. I, at the present time, do not have an estimate of the expense of that item and the Council is not committed to the technical audit until it has reviewed the bids and awarded a contract. It was the Advisory Committee's feeling that a technical review of the system was important as it is apparent there are technical • problems in several different areas of the community. How serious Mr. Gary D. Plotz • February 11, 1992 Page 3 those problems are and how expensive they will be to correct at unknown at the present time. The only commitment the City f needs to consider at this moment is whether or not to the eview outlined in this correspondence for the cos of 0.00. You may recall that when th ise switch was approved from North American to Star, the City of Hutchinson was one of the few communities that demanded and received additional concessions in connection with that transfer. However, it is my opinion that we did not do an adequate job in terms of reviewing Star's ability to perform and had we known then what we know now regarding Star, there might have been some questions about whether or not to authorize the transfer in the first place. In any event, I would recommend that we enter into the agreement as outlined with the notation that a "cap" would be placed on the expense for legal services in the amount of $1,250.00. I would . anticipate billing the City an additional amount for legal services rendered by the City Attorney, but I would also agree that my bill would be paid out of proceeds made available by the franchisee, and not from City funds. Please do not hesitate to contact me in connection with any of these matters. Best regards. Very ARNO G.' B�! ry Anderson GBA:lm Enclosures • Ale t - DOo , f C*YiCL G a RY 1Zc ��cr c i C 1 / Y !'

I understand you or a representative of your community plans to attend an informational meeting we will be holding on Wednesday, February 5, 1992, at 7:00 p.m. in the Hutchinson Fire Station. For your review prior to that meeting, I have enclosed a draft of a Retainer Agreement for our services. We expect that a number of Minnesota communities will ask for our assistance relating to the sale and transfer. Our current estimate is that at least fifteen communities will retain our services. Consequently, we estimate that the shared cost for the general legal services (not specific to any one community) will be in the range of $1,200 - $1,500 per community. Other service that you may require involving unique matters, unresolved compliance issues with the franchise, nonpayment of franchise fees, attendance at public hearings and drafting of closing documents for your community would be done on a regular hourly basis. Moss 6 Barnett's Cable Communications department performs legal and consulting work at a blended rate, reflecting shared time between several attorneys and legal assistants, to keep the expense of the work at a reasonable level. On this basis, work done on an hourly basis would be at the average billing rate of $110.00 per hour. As you know, Minnesota law requires that Star request your community's written approval of the proposed sale. Minnesota law also permits your community to evaluate the impact of the sale on subscribers. We have developed a procedure which reviews the legal, technical and financial qualifications of a proposed new cable operator, in order to assist cities in • determining the impact of a cable system sale on subscribers.

As you know, Minnesota law requires that Star request your community's written approval of the proposed sale. Minnesota law also permits your community to evaluate the impact of the sale on subscribers. We have developed a procedure which reviews the legal, technical and financial qualifications of a proposed new cable operator, in order to assist cities in • determining the impact of a cable system sale on subscribers. MOSS & BARNETT A P� NAL A� Ms. Sue Potter • Page 2 January 30, 1992 In to put your community in charge of this process, we recommend that an Application, together with a notice of the process, be sent to Star at the earliest possible time. You may have already received notice from Star about the proposed transfer. Many communities believe Minnesota law requires that they must make a determination on the request for approval within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of that notice. However, we believe a city cannot make a decision regarding the impact of the system transfer on subscribers until such time as the city receives information on the legal, technical and financial qualifications of the new cable operator. For this reason, your community's initial response to Star's request for approval of the transfer should make it very clear that the time period does not begin until the Application is fully completed and returned as directed in the Application. We have prepared an Application form and transmittal letter to Star, for this purpose. If you retain our services, these documents will be provided to you, as soon as possible, to begin the process of reviewing Star's request for approval of the sale. If you do wish to retain our services for either the general work, or the • general work and special work for your community, please indicate that by executing the enclosed Retainer Agreement and bring it with you to the February 5, 1992 informational meeting. If you are unable to attend the meeting and do wish to retain our services, please return the signed Retainer Agreement in the mail. We recommend that you not delay in light of the thirty (30) day time limit for response to Star. Please give me a call after you that we can review any questions or c choose to retain Moss 6 Barnett, we such as the Franchise, including correspondence, be forwarded for our process. have received the Retainer Agreement so omments that you might have. Should you request that all applicable documents, all amendments, and other relevant review in connection with the transfer Very truly yours, Adrian E. Herbst AEH /kmg 886ZKMG C� • RETAINER AGREEMENT REGARDING CONSULTING AND LEGAL ASSISTANCE FROM MOSS & BARNETT RELATING TO SALE AND TRANSFER OF CABLE TELEVISION FRANCHISE The undersigned understands that Moss & Barnett, a Professional Association, is retained by a number of communities that have cable television franchises with Star Midwest, Inc. or one of its subsidiaries (hereinafter "Star "). The services of Moss & Barnett have been engaged for the purpose of providing assistance relating to the review of a proposed sale and transfer of the cable television system owned and operated by Star and serving a number of communities throughout the State of Minnesota. Inasmuch as Moss & Barnett will represent a number of communities in Minnesota, the City of Hutchinson believes that it would be in its best interest to utilize the services of Moss & Barnett jointly together with these other communities. Further, the City of Hutchinson understands that Minnesota law provides certain authority to cities pursuant to §238.083, to review a proposed transfer or sale of the cable television system. This review requires the city to consider whether there may be an adverse impact on subscribers as a result of the proposed sale. In order for the City to evaluate the proposed transfer and to make such a finding, it will be necessary for the City to review the legal, technical, financial and character qualifications of the proposed new cable operator. In addition, the City may evaluate whether certain conditions relating to the performance of Star under the existing franchise have been met and complied with. The process required to review the legal, technical and financial qualifications of the proposed transferee may be similar in each of the Minnesota communities served by Star. The work to be performed by Moss & Barnett in assisting the City of Hutchinson and other Minnesota communities will include the following "general services ": 1. preparation of an Application form for the City to provide to Star and the proposed transferee for completion; 2. preparation of a Notice, with a request for response, to Star and the proposed transferee; 3. preparation of an Evaluation Report for the City, which will include evaluation of the legal, technical and financial qualifications of the proposed transferee and recommended action for the City. This 40 Evaluation will be based on the information furnished • in response to the Application form and will include a 'track record" check of the proposed transferee, as well as a financial review and evaluation of the responses furnished in the Application form. The general services will be performed in a timely manner and of good quality. Therefore, with respect to those matters that are general to all communities, the City of Hutchinson believes that there will be cost savings to the City in this review. However, the City also understands that there may be matters unique to the City of Hutchinson that may require further review or further assistance by Moss & Barnett. Those additional matters, which may be unique to the City of Hutchinson, include at least the following: 1. review of the City's existing Franchise Ordinance to determine whether there has been full compliance by Star with all terms and conditions; 2. financial information unique to the City; technical information unique to the City concerning the specifics of the existing cable system, upgrade or • changes contemplated; 4. a hearing in the City which may require assistance from or attendance by Moss & Barnett and, additionally, the preparation of certain closing documents which may include: a Notice of Public Hearing; b. a Resolution to make findings and to approve or disapprove of the proposed transfer; C. an Ordinance Amendment modifying the existing Franchise; d. an Acceptance Agreement to be signed by the proposed transferee, certain closing documents that must be reviewed, including payment of fees and expenses to the City, furnishing of insurance documentation, furnishing of a parent company guarantee and other or special requirements as may be specified under the City of Hutchinson's Franchise. Based on the foregoing, the City of Hutchinson desires utilizing the services of Moss & Barnett for general services. • The general services cost estimate, based on an understanding that Moss & Barnett will be providing similar services for other Minnesota communities (currently estimated at 15), will • be $1,250 per community. It is understood that the City's share of costs for service may decrease if more communities retain Moss & Barnett for these general services. The City of Hutchinson does does not _ (please indicate choice) desire the special or unique additional services for the City relating to the proposed transfer. The City of Hutchinson understands that the special or unique services to be performed by Moss & Barnett are provided at the average hourly rate of $110. A detailed cost estimate for special services will be provided by Moss & Barnett, at the City's request. The City of Hutchinson also understands that, in the sale or transfer of the cable system, there may be controversial issues involving noncompliance or other unanticipated matters that may be raised at a Public Hearing or otherwise brought up during the proceedings involving the transfer which are not contemplated at this time. If, at any time during the process, it becomes apparent that special negotiation assistance may be required to complete the transfer and to satisfy the needs of the City of Hutchinson, Moss & Barnett will advise the City of Hutchinson and the City of Hutchinson will then have the opportunity to review the negotiation requirements, cost for negotiation assistance and provide authority to Moss & Barnett to perform any such negotiation services as may be deemed • appropriate between Moss & Barnett and the City of Hutchinson. The foregoing represents an understanding by and between the City of Hutchinson and Moss & Barnett, a Professional Association.
