Staff had <br />researched the information for cities with populations between 10,000 to 20,000. The fees <br />ranged from nothing (Ramsey and Lino Lakes) to as much as $200 for permit, with other <br />charging per linear foot, per pit, per crossing. One city (Stillwater) requires a $5,000 bond when <br />tearing up streets. Street Supervisor Grant Riemer has estimated the administrative cost of <br />processing ROW permits is equal to a minimum of one hour of his time or $75. If damage to the <br />ROW including the street should happen, costs to repair would run about a minimum of $70 per <br /> <br />Finance Committee/January 22, 2002 <br /> Page 1 of 9 <br /> <br /> <br />
