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.
