Memorandum <br /> To: Honorable Mayor and Council <br /> From: Teresa Bender, Deputy Clerk and Diane Ward, City Clerk <br /> Date: 12/17/99 <br /> Subject: Consideration of Changing Telephone Service <br /> Mr. Jerry King of McLeodUSA, a company providing services similar to US West, has provided <br /> the City with a proposal for telephone service. The proposal would save the city approximately $100.00 <br /> per month in telephone service. The contract would be for three years. The advantages to switching <br /> providers, along with the cost savings, are: <br /> 1. 120 days risk free <br /> If the City is not satisfied with McLeodUSA service and rates, they will pay all costs to <br /> put us back with US West. <br /> 2. Stabilized Rates: <br /> Local and domestic long distance rates are capped for the term of the contract. <br /> 3. If the City receives a proposal from another communications service that is cheaper for <br /> the same service McLeodUSA will match the cost or release the City from the agreement <br /> with no penalty. <br /> 4. Account management performed in Roseville. <br /> 5. One month free service. <br /> Attached you will find some of McLeodUSA's current customers. Diane has contacted the City <br /> of Stillwater and they are very pleased with the rates and service that McLeod has provided. <br />
