RECORD OF OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL 3775
CITY OF ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA
Regular Meeting No. 6 - Augur , 1991
Mr. Richard Ehrick of the Law firm O'Brien Law Office
located in the Marquette Bank Building wished to be heard
regarding the agreement with Peoples Cooperative Power Assoc.
Mr. Ehrick, who represents the City Public Utility stated that he
talked with Ken Moen, Attorney for Peoples Cooperative Powers and
Mr. Ehrick is concerned about the fact that even though the Peoples
Board has approved the agreement, it included a provision that
could be interpreted to mean Peoples's lenders could veto parts
of the agreement at any time. The Resolution accepting the franchi
which governs how People's conducts business in the City , includes
language that said the Co-op accepts the franchise "Except for
restrictions that may be imposed" by the Rural Electricification
Administration and other lenders. Concern is that IF the Rural
Electrification Adm. would disapprove of this, then we'd be back
in limbo. Such language would allow People's to essentially veto
some portions ofthe franchise while the franchise is in effect.
Alderman McConnell stated that he said this is the closest thing
he has seen to getting this agreement (matter) settled.
Mr. Ehrick stated that Ken Moen authorized him to read a statement
that indicated the co-op doesn't intend for the REA condition to
allow People's to void some parts ofthe franchise. Rather, it only
means that the REA must review the agreement before it can become
final because of the conditions of People'-s loans.
Petersson moved, McConnell second to adopt Resolution No. 422-91
amending the Franchise Ordinance approving the suggestions as set
forth by Mr. Ehrick. Ayes (6), Nays (0).Motion carried.
Solinger moved, Petersson second to instruct the City Attorney to
prepare an Ordinance Amending sections 98.03, 98.07 , 98.08 and
98.15 and 98.17 of the RCO Relating to the Electric Utility
Franchise. Also in this motion is that Peoples be advised that
this Franchise Ord. be in effect on the basis that the language
contained in this resolution of the board of People's is not to
be construed as authorizing any future restrictions on the
application of the provision of the Ordinance..and that once
approved by the REA the Ordinance is in final form and effect.
This language is included in the Resolution as listed above.
The Ordinance as.stated above is presented for a first reading.
Solinger moved, Canfield second to suspend the rules and give this
Ordinance a second reading. Upon Roll call vote, Aldermen Canfield,
Crawford, McConnell, Petersson, Solinger and President"Selby voted
aye.Ayes (6), Nays (0).Motion carried and the Ordinance was given
