The only point Commissioner Scurlock wished to raise is <br />that he feels the 3% franchise fee should be 6% as he did <br />not believe that 3% will be sufficient for the amount of <br />monitoring we will have to provide. He pointed out that 60 <br />is an accepted standard industrywide. <br />Chairman Bird felt that hopefully we will be able to <br />keep track of this and review it at sometime in the future. <br />Mr. Pinto reported that in the coming year's budget <br />they will definitely be looking at the cost of.regulating <br />the franchises. He emphasized that we have not so far <br />,received any dollars at all under this 3% fee as none of <br />these systems are in existence yet. <br />Attorney Brandenburg informed the Board of some minor <br />changes that should be made. On Page 8 of the franchise, <br />Section 12, the last sentence states that if they transfer <br />the utility contrary to the terms of the franchise, the <br />transfer will be considered null and void. He did not feel <br />that we have the authority to do that, and suggested that <br />this be replaced by a statement that a transfer would <br />constitute a violation of the franchise agreement and be <br />grounds for termination of same. The other change is on <br />Page 16 of the franchise where it refers to Sec. 125.43; <br />this should be Sec. 125.42. <br />Attorney David Cairns of Jones, Foster & Moss, was <br />present standing in for Attorney Henderson and stated that <br />professional engineer Dean Luethje is also present as is Mr. <br />Moran who could discuss rate information, if desired. <br />Chairman Bird asked if there was any problem with the <br />suggested change in language, and Attorney Cairns stated he <br />had no objections. <br />Chairman Bird asked if anyone present wished to be <br />heard. There were none. <br />JUN 15 1983 <br />90 B�Qd3 PAGE 0025 <br />
