City Council Regular Meeting - 03/13/06 Minutes - Page 10 New Locate Rules Cities are now responsible for accurate records and locating laterals in rights-of-way (ROW) constructed after January 1, 2006; cities must provide the best information available to contractors for laterals constructed prior to December 31, 2005; and cities will not be liable for hits to laterals constructed prior to December 31,2005. New Proposed Operating Practice Permittees constructing new laterals will be required to provide written and electronic mapping data; permittees replacing or repairing existing laterals will provide written mapping data and call the City to collect electronic mapping data. Telecom ROW Users Telecom ROW users, through the permitting process, agree not to use its facilities in the ROW to deliver video programming without first obtaining a cable or video franchise from the City. Mr. Schwartz noted that the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) had recommended that cities update their right-of-way ordinances to reflect the new requirements and to require certain data be provided by the contractor when obtaining ROW permits. Mr. Schwartz advised that staff had worked with the City Attorney to draft an ordinance modifying the existing ROW Ordinance; as well as previously-discussed language changes related to pending regulatory changes for telecom facilities by additional interim language. Mr. Schwartz further noted that the Public Works, Environment, and Transportation Commission had reviewed the proposed changes and recommended adoption. City Attorney Squires noted a correction needed on the last page of the proposed ordinance, Section 707.29, in the fourth line of Subsection A, to show the actual Section referenced.
