He explained that back in March 1999, the franchise expired and the QCTV Commission entered into a stand still agreement while additional negotiations continued. Media One came back with an offer of $600,000, which was not acceptable, so the QCTV Commission contracted with River Oaks to do an analysis and they came back with an estimate of 3.5 million which is line with what other commissions have acquired in the metro area. As an aside there are three additional cable companies that have deposited $50,000 each to be the primary or secondary cable company in the area. The QCTV Commission will be making presentations and some decisions will be made regarding the Media One franchise at their next meeting. They anticipate that the Ramsey City Council will receive a presentation from Terry O'Connell and their attorney regarding the status of the franchise at their July 25th City Council meeting and the Council should be prepared to accept or deny QCTV's recommendation. Case #15a: Proposed Ordinance to establish Maintenance Requirements for Individual Sewage Disposal Systems City Attorney Goodrich stated that one of the outstanding issues relating to Met Council determination of completeness of Ramsey's draft Comprehensive Plan is a managed maintenance program for individual sewage treatment systems (ISTS) in accordance with Minnesota Rule 7080. Specifically, it is being requested that the City update the sewage disposal ordinance to require monitoring of all ISTS every three years and notifying homeowners of the requirement. Mr. Goodrich and the Community Development Director studied the Minnesota Rule 7080 and it appears that there are two issues the City is dealing with: maintenance assessment and compliance inspections. Compliance Inspections are required for new construction, replacement or repairs of ISTS and at point of sale of property containing an ISTS. These compliance City Council/June 13, 2000 Page 20 of 26
