Por.r.nsxz CoacMCAeioxr-e Derarr Coxucse�u��ku Apri1 23, 1971 The Honorable Charles P, ricCarty and Members of the City �ouncil Gentlemen: I truly hope my colleagues. on the council wi11 not be stampeded into vot�- ing for the Northern States Power ordinances as introduced because of threatened budget deficits or NSP threats that they will not pay any gross earnings until they get a rate increase. On the first threat, I believe NSP can and wi11 pay the 8% gross earnings, without a need for a rate increase, if the council has the courage to stand firm. On the matter of NSP's refusal to pay the gross earnings unless they get a rate increase, I would like to call the council's attention to the thought that if the gross earnings is a tax (no matter what label is. put on it, it is a ta�) it is public money, owned by the City of St. Paul. NSP only collects it and is not the owner, and any refusal on their part to pay the tax over to the City, in my opinion, would be illegal and in contempt of the law. I feel that the council will betray the public interest if it allows NSP to increase their rates 3% at this time. If you will recall, in 1968 NSP was given an interim i_ncrease which has never been justified by them. I believe they can absorb the 3% gross earnings from this interim and when we get into a full scale rate hearing this summer, it will then be determined if a rate increase should be granted. ' I also believe we must, at this time, look at the entire matter of gross . earnings and probe the most important question of "who actually should pay the gross earnings tax." Our charter and the law contemplates the payment of a tax by the Company for the privilege of doing a utility business in L-he City of St. Paul. Whether the gross earnings is a tax or �ahether it is a license fee, it is stated in the charter (Section 155) that -- "Every corporation or person exercising any franchise or privilege, upon any of the streets or public places or elsewhere in the City of St. Paul, shall pay into the treasury of said city annually on or before the first rlonday in T1ar.ch, a li.cense fee in a sum equal to at least five per cent of the gross earnings derived or accruii�g from the exercise or enjoyment within said city of any franchise or privilege during �� ` The Honorable Charles P. McCarty � and Members of the City Council Page 2 April 23, 1971 the previous calendar year. This section shall apply to all franchises granted prior to the adoption of this charter and to all other franchises unless the or- dinances granting said franchises shall exempt the grantees and others holding through or nnder them from said tax." The new cHarter states -- (Sec, 16.06) "Every corporation or person exercising any franchise in, over, under, or upon any of the streets or public places or elsewhere in the city, shall pay to the city a franchise fee in a sum equal to at least five percent of the gross earnings derived or accruing from the exercise or enjoyment within the city of the franchise. This section sha11 apply to every franchise granted prior to the adoption of this charter and to every other franchise unless the ordinance granting it exempts the grantee and others hol�ing through or under them from the franchise fee." You wi11 note that the charter says the corporation or person enjoying the franchise will pay the gross earnings tax. No where in any law, in the constitution, or in the charter does it state that the consumer shall pay this gross earnin�s tax. The Utility Company has never paid anything for the privilege of doing business in the streets of our city. A most reasonable position would be to compel the Company to pay from corporate assets or stockholders profits a sum for the franchise or permit as both the Company and the stockholder has enjoyed the fruits of this re- lationship, and at no cost to them. I believe the facts and the law would reveal that the city can now demand that NSF, from its own corporate assets or those of its stockholders, pay a sum equal to the gross earnings in return for the use of our streets. I further believe that investigation would reveal that a very good case could be made for demanding a back-payment of several millions of dollars from the Utility Company for the many years they have enjoyed franchise privileges without having paid anything for the inconvenience the consumer and the City has suffered by allowing torn up streets, unsightly poles and wires. I am offering an amendment to the ordinances before us which would require NSP to pick up the 3% additional gross earnings. I hope you will give this amend- ment serious consideration as I feel no harm will come to the Company by paying the additional 3% gross earnings but a great deal of harm will be inflicted on the con- sumer if it is passed on to him. I also point out that if this 3% is passed on to consumer - the rate payer in St. Paul will be paying a total of 11% in taxes for utilities. This is not just: Very truly yours, ,. . �� ; _.f �' t , "; , , '�-r`'a-/"'--�-�_.:.. :1 L'�( ` ��-'�-'i. Rosalie L. Butler Commissioner of Finance . . . . �� , ... � . . :�;1� I plead this case for the consumer although I suppose it would be easier r` r �� just not to make any noise about it and let the poor old consumer pay it and he would never know what happened to him, as has been done in the past. However, I feel so strongly that the action this council is about to take is so wrong and so ill-advised that I must protest it. I do not believe there is anything in the record that legally allows the council to settle the interim rate increase by council action. There seems to be only one purpose in allowing the NSP an increase at this time and that is to finance McCarty's budget. Little consideration has been given to the consumer or the need or justice for an increase. I feel enough questions have been raised by my docu- ments, Commissioner Levine's presentations and others to justify asking that a citizens committee be appointed by the council and I have stressed, appointed by the council, to investigate and conduct public hearings on the entire matter, At the time of the council public hearing so few people knew about it that the many, many people concerned did not have an opportunity to be heard. As for the matter of who should pay the gross earnings, if the council passes this 3% today it is my intention to discuss this with competent lawyers to deter- mine if a consumer action could be started in the courts. I believe, in reading the law, that the consumers could prevail in this matter, - -�� . Annuol r�port of Northern States Power COITIpa,ri�l �MlI1I7@SOt.B,� Yeor ended D�cember J1, 19 69 a.

Sprafka Department of Public Utilities C].ty of St.. Paul - ' 216 City Hall • St. Paul., Minnesota 551.02 Re: Request by Northern Sta�:es Power •� ` Company for Interim Rates Under Bond � Dear Commissioner Sprafka; By letter dated October 2, 1968 Northern States Power Company requested. the Council of the City of St. Paul to complete "the gas hearings and prescribe reasonable gas rates as soon as possible" and f`urther, to take immedia,te action to adopt the proposed electric rates as temporary or interim rates to be charged until such time as the Council has finally established reasonable electr.ic rai�es. Subsequently, at the hearing of October �j, 1968 for cross=exa�nination of the �Company's evidence in the _ - gas proceedin�, �the Company, througn counse)_, reiter.ated its requesi; to place the proposed electric rates into effect under bond and flzrther impl.ied that it might consider such action with respect to the gas rates in the immediate flzture. It is recognized that the franchise granted by the City to the . Company for electric and gas service within the City of St. Paul provides that the Council shall prescribe rates within sixty days after the filing � of a petition for increased rates by the Company. We can offer no opinion as to the legal effect of such franchise requir��ment, nor the we5_ght which .` such lan�ua�e ��ould receive in any reques� for ruling by appropriate Minnesota courts. Ho�rever, we would like �;o offer the following comments with respect to genera�_ regulatory practice and procedures followed by the � . F�deral and various State Commissions. The �'ederal regulatory coml�issions and a vast majority ofi' the State regul_a.tory co�nmissions require that requests for rate increases filed ' by an opera,tin� uti.lity be accompanied by detailed financial, economic and operating da.ta to support such applications. � These filings are either specifi.call.y required or generally �ssumed to constitute a basic prima facie case establishin� the validity of the util.ityts request. Upon receipi; of such request., most Fecleral commissions have authority to suspend the applicai�ion of requesi;ed rate increases for a period of at least six moni�hs, This practice is also follo��red by so:ne of �;he State commissions. However. , most Stai;e cormnissions do not provide for the institution of increased rates until after the Co;nmi_ssion has concluded all heari.ngs and issued its Order thereon. Thus, rate increases are �ranted on a prospecti.ve basis only in these jurisdictior�s, • • � . , . .. . -.. . . • ... . . . _. ..,. . _.... �.,.......,.,.. ,..s,.d..�.,.-..»_....�..._....__ __..�._....._....� , , . � �... . . J . . . . ._ . . . .. /. .. ' . . _ � _ �. . . . � � . . �.' . . � � ' . . � . Robert F. Sprafka � Under the general_ regulai;or.y philosophy employed. by most� �urisdictions in this country, i.nclt�din�; the City of St. Pau1, utilities ' are granted excl.usive opera+ing t;erri�;ories within which competition by other utilities offering an ident9.ca1 service is prohibited. Z`his practice thus creates a moi;opoly for each individual util.i�Ly service. , In return for this monopol.y prS.vile�e (or as a prerequisite for the gra.nting of such monopoly privilege) the charges for such utility services are subjected to re�ulation by an appropriate body that is by law directed to establish rates at a fair, -reasonable and equitab]_e level which will be sufficient to cover the Company's total reasonabl.e - . operating costs plus a reasonable return on the capital invested in properties devoted to the public service. Thus, regula�ion in this country is on a cost plus basis, insuring the ri�ht to ,a fair rate of return. • � � As a direct result of this approach to the pricin� of utility services, re�ulatory revie��r of rates prior to their revision, either upward or downward, is assumed to be a prerequisite. This requirement creates what has generally become to be referred to in the indusl;ry as "Regulatory Lag." Regulatory La� is thus a natural result of the economic _ philosophy employed in this country surroundin� util_ity services. It i.s a � known, expected and well recognized risk of t11e business. This fact has � been recognized and considered by many court decisions over the years and is one of the risks cor.sid.ered and pz�ovided for. by re�ulatory bodi.es in � setting permissabl.e return levels in re�ulatory proceedings. It is most important� however, �;o recognize that Regulatory Lag is a t�ao-way street. �`his is, i.t not only impacts adversely against the utility but it also imnacts adversely .a�ainst the consumer and it may be reasonably argued that the consumer g�ts the wors�L end of the bargain. This is true because uti]_ity companies employ, and justifiably so, rate experts, economis�s, engineer.s and other technicians to conti.nually revi.ew the economic posi.tion of the company and by the employment of � � standard budgetary and economic forecasting procedures predict the economic _ condition of the company several years into the iliture. Most large, well established uti.lities employ a standard five-year pro-forma budgetary procedure. ZYhus, to the extent that these persorinel conduct their jobs d3ligently and. accurately, the utility normally has available reasonably accurate foreknowledge of the impact oi' adverse economic conditions and - thus is in a position to file requests for rate reli.ef in advance of the actual incidence of such adverse economic txends and thereby ob�;ain rate relief prior to suffering any real economic loss. On the o�;her hand, the consumer a.s not poss�ssed of sufficient , facts or kno�aledge to so protect hirnself. The consumer, and the regulatory bodies, only have available his{:orical financial information which is normally not fS.l_ed or otherwi_se made available to the public uni,il some three or four. months after. the fact. Thus if the consumer or the re�ulatory agency wishes to ascertain whether or not the earnings level of the company is excessive and may be subject to reduction, they must first review hisi�orical da�;a repr.esenting some past perioci. Tf such review indicates excessive e�rnin�� they must then iils�;itute re�ulatory proceedings to seek ra�;e relief. Furthermore, in a11 j�zrisdictions, (except for certain limited • e;..yn �.-,;. .g...,�r ,�,;.y,y, �:r�� =`^' `- _. .._ �. . -- . :_.� 'G �sf y N.

Sprafka . ,,•; exceptions in Pennsylvania, Ne�r York and before t;he ICC) both �'ederal and State, neither the re�,rulatory balies nor the consum�rs may force then existin� rates to be .placed under bond subject to reflznd upon final � � order of the commission. Rate r•eductions are thus normally at;tainable on a prospective basis only afLer the issuance of the final Order of the regulatory body. In mos� State jurisdictions regulatory proceedings of major utilities may normally be expected to be completed within a period of some six to nine monLhs. ,Before the Federal agericies major rate � proceedings will norma7_ly require' a mini_murn oi' 18 to 24 months. In � the latest deci.sion of the Federal Power Commissi.on, in a consumer � � instituted rate reduction complaint, (East Tennessee Natural Gas Company, . Docket No. RP65--�+) �he original cornpl_ai.nt was instituted on the basis of the 1963 annual fi_nancial report of the company and the final orders of the Federal Power Commission were dated April 19, 1�66 (35 FPC 53�+) a�nd Ju1y 15, Zg66 (36 z�PC 61) , instituting appropriate rate reduction. Li.ke- wise, in a pending case instituted by the consumers purchasing gas from the Alabama-Tennessee Natural Gas Company, Docket No. RP66-25, the complaint � was filed based on 1965 opera�;ing data and the Fxaminer's decision was , � issued July 31, 1�68. This latt;er case is on appeal to the full Comrnission � and final rate rel_ief for the consumer is yet to be obtained.r T us, it can be readily seen that Regulatory Lag can and does have a severe impact upon ,the consumer while the�utility has avai_l.able to it opportunita_es to r� � seek rate relief prior to the incurrence of substantial economic detriment. �� It has been held many times by the courts that the �'air rate of return is not a matter of absolute precise determination. There is a reasonable ra,nge of return within which the courts �•rill not question the decision of the re�ula.tory body. 'I7ie courts �-ri7_l �intervene only when it has been shown that confiscation is taking p1.a.ce and in such instances, the burden of proof of confi.scation is upon the company. Bear in mind �;r�at according to Exhibit I.-1_ of the Company's filing in the e]_ectric case it � is shown tha�: for the year ]_967 the actua;l earnin�s were 7.01+°� whil.e on . the test year as adjusted, without; rate i.ncrease, it is sho�m that earnings would be 6.31�. This latter amount is well wit:hin the ran�e of reasonable � returns curr.ently bein� granted by regulatory cornmissions. For example, the most recent Federal Power Commission rulin�s on return requiremen{;s for electric uti.lities indicate reasonable return levels at 6°�. See Wisconsin-Michi�;an Power Company (1964) 31 F�c 1.�+t+5, 54 Pux 3d 321 and Southwestern i'ublic Service Company (1965) 33 FPC 3�F3, 57 PUR 3d 39�-F, See . also the deci_sion of the Michigan Suprcrne Court where a rate of re�urn of 6.36 o was a_llo`•red f.or 'l�ie Upper Peninsula Pot�rer Company. City of IsYipemin�; v. Mi.chi�an Pul�,lic Service Commission (1903) 370 Mich. 293, PUR 3d E35, 121 N.W. 2nd ��2, . Also a ra.te of return of 5.8� on a net book va]_ue rate ' base was con:;idered reasonable for. an electric utility by the Wisconsin � Commission in re Northwes�;ern-��Tisconsin Electric Company, 2-u-6328, . November �+, l9'-v5. � is thus ex�Lremely doubtful that the Company could • sustain the burden of proof that i�t;s properties are bein� confiscai;ed � withou�; due process ,of law.

Sprafka . . _ . It must flzrther be reco�;nized that even a bona fide provision to reflznd does not afford the ratr.payers the protection they are entitled to. In FPC v. Tennessee G�.s Transrnission Co.�,nany, 371 U.S. 1ZE5, 46 PUR 3d 3�+7, the Supreme Court of the United States commented; "True, the exaction would have been subject to refund but er.��erience has shown this t;o be somewhat illusory i.n vie�� of thE trickling , doi•m process neces:ary to �je follo�red, the incidental cost of wYiich is often borne by , the consumer, and in vie�a of the transient � nature of our society which often preven�Ls � , refunds from reachin� those to whom they are due." � � � It has flirther becn argued that the utility has �;ied the incident of request�d rate increases in jurisdictions other than St. Paul to be ei'fective after the Order of the Council in St. Paul whi.ch by franchise is alleged to be due November 1, 1g68. The implic�.tion is that if the Council does no�; act by such date, the Company may not �� be able to institute its rate increases in other areas. The shori; .'� :_ � answer to this is that the City of St. Paul should not be coerced ir�to --..�_._________.____ . hasty action by voluntary und.ertakings of the Co:npa,ny in areas not_ � subjjeci; to the iurisdi.ction of the Counci_1 of St. P�,ul. I� is not clear _ what the Company`s recourse in areas outside of St. Pa�.�l may be but certainly if the Company ha5 entered into �.ny a�reements that the effective dates for ra,te increases ou�side of the City shall be �Lhe same as that within thc City, such action coul.d only be voluntary on the part of the Company a,nd connot be an act for �•rhich tY�e Counci.]. of the City of St. Paul can or should be he1.c1 responsible. . . . The principa_1 complaint the Cornpany may have a�ainst the Counc�l woul_d be in the area of fai_lure to act in an expeditious manner. This was apparentlyo une of the grounds upon which t��e Comp�.ny successfull.y obtained judicial. review of Counci_1 action in 1�00. In view of the fact that Counci_l is actin� e�editi_ous]_y in the �as case and is already settin� procedures for the commenceraen�L of the el_ectric proceeding in a fashion whicYi woul.d be reaSonabl_y acceptab�_e before both the Federal and State commissions, I can see no rea]_ difficu7_ties in �;his area. Under the present schedule of even�;� it would a.ppear that the Counci]_ will i.ssue its Order in the gas case withi.n five to seven montl�s afi;er receipt of the basic evidence on Au�rust 23, 196�3. The electri_c case may tal;e sli�h�;l.y longer. irom the date of receipt of t,he initial presen�;a.i.;ion in lat,e September but thi_s will be due to the actions of the Company in overlappin�; the two cases, and I would consider final de- cision of the Council sometime around April 1909, to be reasonable dispatcti � and I do noi; believe the courts will think otherv�ise unless a decision i.s rendered ba.sed upon the sixty day franchise period. � I be].ieve �;he above should assist the Counci.l in reaching it;s decision in this matter, In my opinion, if a regul_atory body acts �•�ith reasonable dispa,�Lch in proceedin�; with a case and issuing its Orders and � . . . . . . .

(612) 471-7127 �!u�;u.�t ?_o , 1970 , -- The Honorable Rosalie t�utler Commissioner of Fina.nce City Hall St . Paul, Minnesota 55101 Re : NSP Rate Case Dear Commissioner Butler: The newspaper nas reported ,you.r controller, Mr. McKenna, as having said that the Cit,y would be unable to collect a �;ross earnin�;s tax .from NSP after the expiration of its contract on January 1 , 1971. P�Ir. McKenna' s legal conclusions are incorreet . The situations are le�ion wherein a utilit,y continues to operate de facto, that is ; to continue in operation without the benefit of a. franchise and so long as the rates charged remain the same , the gross earnin�s tax is payable . This can be readily seen because the rates comprehend the payment of such a tax. Further, the utility cannot chan�e the rates without the permission of the re��;ula,tor, which in turn can insist upon the payment of the �ross ea,rnin�;s tax.
