4. Consideration of Adoption of an Ordinance Granting a Non-exclusive
Franchise to Rite Cable Company of Minnesota to Operate and
Maintain a Cable Communication System in the City.
The Joint Powers Commission consisting of members from nine
surrounding communities has recently selected and negotiated
with Rite Cable Company to provide a cable communication system
for the cities.
Tom Creighton, the Joint Commission's Attorney, explained to
the Council the proposed Ordinance that would grant a non-exclusive

by Maxwell, and unanimously carried to approve adoption of an
Ordinance granting a non-exclusive franchise to Rite Cable Company
of Minnesota. See Ordinance Amendment No -141 .
5. Consideration of a Resolution Granting Final Approval to the
Sale of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds for Fulfillment
Systems, Inc.
Recently, all of the documents necessary for the issuance of
Industrial Revenue Bonds for Fulfillment Systems, Inc., have
been completed by the City's Consulting Legal Advisor, Holmes
& Graven. As a final step, the City Council must acknowledge
full acceptance of the entire financial arrangements organized
between Fulfillment Systems and their lending institution.
As a result, motion was made by Maxwell, seconded by Blonigen,

Council Minutes - 9/10/84
6. Consideration of Making Final Payment on Project #82-2 (Meadow Oak).
Consulting City Engineer, John Badalich, had indicated prior
to the meeting that the contractor, Richard Knutson, Inc., on
the 82-2 Improvement Project had not yet had a chance to review
the final construction payment voucher.
As a result, it was recommended by the Engineer that the final
payment approval be delayed until the next meeting to allow
the contractor adequate time to review the proposed final payment
amount.
7. Consideration of Bids on Sealing City Hall Roof and Exterior
Brick.
Over the past few years, the City personnel have noticed increasing
problems with the exterior City Hall brick spalling and flaking
off. It was recommended by the Building Inspector that some
type of sealant should be applied to the exterior brick to prevent
moisture from entering the used brick.
In addition, the interior ceiling decking along with the beams
have been recommended for additional varnish and/or sealer coats
to prevent the wood from separating.
Bids and quotes were received from two area painting contractors
as follows:
Doran Painting
Interior Varnishing $2,500.00
Exterior Sealing of Bricks $2,760.00
with Thompson Water Seal
Lindberg Painting
Interior Varnishing $2;984.60
Sealing of Exterior Brick $6,372.30
with Okon Latex Sealer
Although Mr. Lindberg's bid for exterior sealing of the bricks
appeared much higher than Doran Painting's bid, it was noted
by some Council members and the Building Inspector that Mr.
Lindberg's sealer product was of much higher quality than the
Thompson Water Seal. Additionally, the Council discussed the
time restraints the City is under to get the brick sealant on
before the end of September and noted that Lindberg Painting
had a larger crew for completing such work.
After considerable discussion on both the interior and exterior
portions of the bids, a motion was made by Maus, seconded by
Fair, and unanimously carried to accept the Lindberg Painting
proposal in the amount of $6,372.30 for sealing the exterior
brick on the City Hall with a note that it should be completed
by the end of September, 1984.

Council Minutes - 9/10/84
Council members noted that since it is planned for major roof
repairs on City Hall in 1985, the varnishing of the ceiling
deck could be made as part of the new roof project next year.
