Authorizing the Execution of Documents relating thereto (Res2017-128).
Housing Manager Barnes provided the'following information in response to questions from the
Council:
• If there is a default on the bonds, the applicant is responsible. Since issuance of bonds in
2006, the FCDC has made all their payments on time.
• Since 1997, the one default was with Summerwood Senior Assisted Living. They were
able to work out a financial solution with Presbyterian Homes that allowed the bonds to
be paid off.
Kathy Courney, Briggs and Morgan, City's bond counsel, stated the City would not get the
property if FCDC defaulted. The bonds are being sold to a bank, and if there were a default, the
property would go to the bank.

(7.03) Public Hearing on Sale of Property to Northern States Power Company (Xcel
Energy) and Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Line Voltage Limitations for and
existing 69kV Transmission Line
Community Development Director Juetten reported after numerous studies and public meetings,
Xcel Energy determined that Alternative C was best. This option relies on existing
infrastructure, requires less construction of new facilities, and minimizes human and
environmental impacts. It also provides the best electrical performance and is the best long-term
solution for the area's electrical needs. In addition to constructing a new substation, it includes
re -energizing the existing 3.4 mile 69 kV line between the new substation (Pomerleau Lake) and
Hollydale Substation. The proposed purchase agreement stipulates a sale of the property for the
amount of $650,000. Xcel Energy also provided an escrow to cover all City costs in regards to
the purchase agreement and memorandum of understanding, as well as capping the existing line
to a maximum of 69 kV.
Mayor Slavik opened the public hearing.
Chris Rogers, Xcel Energy, stated when Xcel Energy acquires easements from Great River
Energy, they are transferred by an assignment of easements saying they are assigning the rights
to Xcel Energy. Within that assignment, there will be a stipulation that states this particular line
will not exceed 69kV. Xcel Energy has no plans to increase the voltage; however, if the line
needs to be increased in the future, each individual easement would need to be renegotiated to
allow a higher voltage. Anyone who is a current title holder of the easements would be notified
and every title holder would have to agree to the increase. They would also have to go through a
State permitting process for the increase.
Kristine Erickson, 4815 Cheshire Lane North, thanked the Council and Xcel Energy for finding
another way to make this work.
Mayor Slavik closed the public hearing.
