ROSE MIX CITY CLERK Dated: ��=,s��fi�Y .:L� I �j �� _ � �. . . � � ��� S-� STATEMENT - COUNCILMAN GEORGE McMAF-ION April l, 1980 Several. months ago, Greg Blees of the Mayor' s Offic.e informed me that if the proceeds from the f_ranchise agreemen-� collected as a part of NSP utility bills were paid to the cit� on a monthly basis rather than on a quarterly basis, the city would realize an additional $100, 000 of revenue £rom investment of the proceedso T am pleased ta be able ta �ay taday that this public hearing has been called to consider such an amendment ta the franchise agreem�n.t. Anci� I am extremely pleased to say that NSP has agreed tca go alang with this change. There is, in addition, one slight Ghange to the 3gr2ement , adding a reference to a specific statute whicr� postdates th� agreem�nt, laut whi.ch nonetheless applies �.o the operation of the franchise. With res�e�:t �o earlier payment of the franchise fees, I wish ta commend the Compan� for -�his example of respons�ble corporate citizei�ship. Ron Vannelli and Ha.rold Bagley of the Company were extremely helpful during the course of the negotiations, and Greg Bistram, Assistant City Attorney, representing the city side of the issue, is to be commendec�.. Most of all, I think a debt of qrati�ude on the part of the city and its taxpayers is owed to Gr.eg Blees, without whose diligence and inquisitiveness we wouZd not be here discussing this issue today. # # # � ��7 4 -7�� xsp N O R T H E R N S T AT E S P O W E R C O M P A N Y May 23 , 1980 c> �- c. � � �,-c --1 n � -Q r T To the Honorable Mayor and �� ..-- r� — i- 3c u' � ° Members of the City Council ��, ,r.�, z� � r Saint Paul, Minnesota " rn � 0 Subject: Steam Franchise Gentlemen: The undersigned, Northern States Power Company, does hereby accept and agree to abide by all the terms and conditions of Council File No. 274725, being Ordinance No. 16653 , adopted by the Council on May l, 1980. � .
