Crit _ nt, 10/23/2015 City of Centerville Attn: Michael Ericson 1880 Main Street Centerville, MN 55038 Dear Mr. Ericson My name is Kyle Meyer and I have been asked to facilitate renewing the franchise agreement between CenterPoint Energy and the City of Centerville that will expire on 6/5/2016. 1 have included the standard ordinance which was developed in conjunction with the League of Minnesota Cities. Please review the document and let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding the language. We should discuss and agree to any proposed changes prior to the ordinance going in front of the council for approval. To make this as easy as possible I have included an overview of the renewal process. 1. Any proposed changes are discussed and an agreement is reached. 2. City staff presents the agreement to the city council for approval. 3. Once approved the Mayor and City Clerk sign and date the document, the city publishes a summary of the ordinance in the local paper; the city also provides an affidavit of publication and a "tear sheet" of said publication. These three items are returned to CenterPoint Energy. CenterPoint Energy will reimburse the city for the publication expense. 4. We will process the agreement renewal and send back two final approval documents. 5. City staff signs and retains one copy and sends back one original signed copy. I have included an example of a summary publication for your reference. I am available to answer any questions that you may have, speak to council members, or your city attorney. Please feel free to contact me directly at any time. I look forward to working with you and your staff to renew this important agreement. Sincerely, Kyle E. Meyer CenterPoint Energy 9320 Evergreen Blvd NW, Suite B Coon Rapids, MN 55433 763-785-5426 kyle.meyer@centerpointenergy.com 50
