Way for any purpose without first having obtained a permit from the City, ifrequired by a separate
ordinance, for which the City may impose a reasonable fee. Permit conditions imposed on Company
shall not be more burdensome than those imposed on other utilities for similar facilities or work.
Company may, however, open and disturb any Public Ground or Public Way without permission
from the City where an emergency exists requiring the immediate repair of Electric Facilities. In such
event Company shall notify the City by telephone to the office designated by the City as soon as
practicable. Not later than the second working day thereafter, Company shall obtain any required
permits and pay any required fees.
3 .4 Restoration. After undertaking any work requiring the opening of any Public Ground
or Public Way, Company shall restore the same, including paving and its foundation, in accordance
with Minnesota Rules Part 7819 .1100, to as good a condition as formerly existed, and shall maintain
any paved surface in good condition for two years thereafter. The work shall be completed as

condition, the City shall have, after demand to Company to cure and the passage of a reasonable
period of time following the demand, but not to exceed five days, the right to make the restoration at

character of the improvements, (ii) the Public Grounds and Public Ways upon which the
improvements are to be made, (iii) the extent of the improvements, (iv) the time when the City will
start the work, and (v) if more than one Public Ground or Public Way is involved, the order in which
the work is to proceed. The notice must be given to Company a sufficient length of time in advance
of the actual commencement of the work to permit Company to make any necessary additions,
alterations or repairs to its Electric Facilities.
3.7 Shared Use of Poles. Company shall make space available on its poles or towers for
City fire, water utility, police or other City facilities upon terms and conditions acceptable to Company
whenever such use will not interfere with the use of such poles or towers by Company, by another

communication company. In addition, the City shall pay for any added cost incurred by Company
because of such use by City.
SECTION 4. RELOCATIONS.

4.1 Relocation of Electric Facilities in Public Ways. Company shall comply with the
requirements of Minnesota Rules, Part 7819.3100 and applicable law relating to relocation of Electric
Facilities in Public Ways. If a relocation is ordered within five (5) years of a prior relocation of the
same Electric Facilities, which was made at Company expense, the City shall reimburse Company
for non-betterment expenses on a time and material basis, provided that if a subsequent relocation is
required because of the extension of a City Utility System to a previously unserved area, Company
may be required to make the subsequent relocation at its expense. Nothing in this Ordinance requires
Company to relocate, remove, replace or reconstruct at its own expense its Electric Facilities where
such relocation, removal, replacement or reconstruction is solely for the convenience of the City and
is not reasonably necessary for the construction or reconstruction of a Public Way or City Utility
System or other City improvement.
4.2 Relocation of Electric Facilities in Public Ground. City may require Company, at
Company's expense, to relocate or remove its Electric Facilities from Public Ground upon a finding
by City that the Electric Facilities have become or will become a substantial impairment to the existing
or proposed public use of the Public Ground.
4.3 Projects with Federal Funding. Relocation, removal or rearrangement of any
Company Electric Facilities made necessary because of the extension into or through City of a
federally-aided highway project shall be governed by the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section
161.46, as supplemented or amended. City shall not order Company to remove or relocate its
Electric Facilities when a Public Way is vacated, improved or realigned for a right-of-way project
or any other project which is financially subsidized in whole or in part by the Federal Governm ent
or any agency thereof, unless the reasonable non-betterment costs of such relocation are first paid
to Company. But the City need not pay those portions of such for which reimbursement to it is
not available.
4.4 No Waiver. The provisions of this franchise apply only to facilities constructed in
reliance on a franchise from the City and shall not be construed to waive or modify any rights obtained
by Company for installations within a Company right-of-way acquired by easement or prescriptive
right before the applicable Public Ground or Public Way was established, or Company's rights under
state or county permit.
SECTION 5. TREE TRIMMING.
Company may trim all trees and shru bs in the Public Grounds and Public Ways of City to the
extent Company finds necessary to avoid interference with the proper construction, operation, repair
and maintenance of any Electric Facilities installed hereunder, provided that Company shall save the

by the City.

for losses or claims occasioned through its own negligence except for losses or claims arising out of
or alleging the City's negligence as to the issuance of permits for, or inspection of, Company's plans
or work. The City shall not be indemni fied if the injury or damage results from the performance in a
Ordinance N o. 2505-16 -5-

defend, it w ill thereafter have contro l of such litigation, but Com pan y m ay not settle such litigation

defe nse or imm un ity that the City could assert in its own behalf. Thi s fran chise shall not be interp reted
