Pedormance Bond MediaOne suggests that the City accept any bond provided as part of a franchise from the City as satisfaction for any bond requirement. Person The definition is not sufficiently broad to include all users of the right-of-way, including political subdivisions as provided in Minn. Stat. §237.163. Please note that Minn. Stat. §237.163, Subd. 6(b) specifically requires that all users of the right-of-way, including the local government unit itself, must bear its propodional share of the costs, MediaOne suggests that the City use the definition found in Minn. Rules Part 7819.0100; Subp. 18 or, in the alternative, the definition found in the League of Cities Model Ordinance. Rjght-of-wa¥ The City's definition varies from that of Minn. Stat. §237.162, Subd, 3, which may cause confusion. Sec. 4.10.04 Reqistration Bondin.q and Riqht-of-Wav O_ccupanc¥ Cable TV companies are required to have franchises with the cities they serve. Some franchises are very restrictive. A franchise is a legal contract with a City. No additional registration or registration fees shouJd be required. MediaOne suggests accepting any bond required as part of a franchise in satisfaction of the bond requirement. In the alternative, please consider multi- year blanket bonding. The amount of the bond described exceeds the amount permitted under Minn. Rules Pt. 7819.3000, Sec. 4.10.07 Reqistration Information MediaOne has local representatives for several different functions. While some of these functions overlap, it is unreasonable to expect them all to be available at all times. Sec. 4.10.08 RePOdin_cl Obliqations This section should include the phrase 'q'o the extent known," at the beginning of paragraph 1 (b), as is included in the League of Cities Model Ordinance, Subd. 2 should also be phrased consistent with the Model Ordinance.
