Seykora <br />Vice President <br />AT&T Broadband <br />10 River Park Plaza <br />St. Paul, Minnesota 55107-1219 <br /> <br />Re: lVlarch 19,2001 Letter Re North Metro Informal Renewal Negotiations <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Seykora: <br /> <br />I reference your letter dated March 19, 2001. Please be advised that the Commission <br />does not repudia!e the Memorandum of Understanding. We do, however, disagree with <br />your interpretation of that document, especially when read in context with the Definitive <br />Agreement, the Franchise and underlying law. <br /> <br />However, that is not the purpose of this letter. In your letter of March 19, you state that: <br />"As the Commission has withdrawn its offers effective 4:00 p.m. today, the Company <br />must also withdraw all offers beyond the terms of the MOU which we have previously <br />made toward negotiating a franchise renewal." <br /> <br />This position is confusing since there were at least two other major issues on the table, <br />other than PEG issues, and numerous minor issues, not to mention a franchise document, <br />the terms of which were nearly in agreement. Is the Commission to understand that the <br />Company has also withdrawn all progress and agreements made thus far on the <br />Institutional Network and the Service Area discussions, both of which have been <br />allocated significant time and effort on the part of both the company and Commission? If <br />so, have you no renewal offer on the table, Sh011 of the status quo and the MOD? <br /> <br />Please clarify this matter, and with specificity delineate what is and is not on the table in <br />your informal proposal by 4:00 p.m. Tuesday, April 3, 2000. This date is selected, not to <br />be difficult, but because the annual joint meeting of the North Metro Commission and the <br />North Metro Operating Committee (City Managers and Administrators) is being held <br />Wednesday, April 4, 2000, and your response will be very important to the discussions at <br />that meeting. <br /> <br />Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />TDClrs <br />cc: 1I1s.
