Regular City Council Meeting AND <br /> Board of Adjustments and Appeals <br /> Monday,July 16, 2012 <br /> Page 21 <br /> Commission (PUC). Mr. Schwartz advised that the City of Little Canada, as a <br /> cost-share participant with the City of Roseville, supported this filing as well. <br /> Mr. Schwartz reviewed the original customer cost received from Xcel Energy as <br /> a preliminary estimate for undergrounding power lines from County Road B to <br /> County Rod B-2, and the final costs submitted for that work. Mr. Schwartz not- <br /> ed that, in seeking documentation for those additional costs related to a change <br /> of scope in the work, including direction boring versus open cutting and addi- <br /> tional traffic control costs conflicting with future reconstruction of the roadway <br /> and newly-relocated electrical costs. <br /> However, Mr. Schwartz noted that the City had been in attendance at each of <br /> the construction meetings held among contractors, subcontractors, affected cit- <br /> ies, Ramsey County and MnDOT at which Xcel was also a party in attendance, <br /> and noted that it had been very clearly outlined and Xcel was fully aware of <br /> their direction. As this information gathering continued, Mr. Schwartz advised <br /> that MnDOT permits for crossing Highway 36 south and the majority of the <br /> conflict on that south side of the bridge and involving the slope of the infiltra- <br /> tion pond, documentation was provided by the project team; and Mr. Schwartz <br /> advised that it was the consensus of the parties, other than Xcel Energy that <br /> Xcel should absorb additional costs based on their prior knowledge of the situa- <br /> tion and work to be performed. <br /> Since receiving Xcel Energy's Notice of Implementation on May 25, 2012 of <br /> the CRFS, for the past six (6) months, both the Cities of Little Canada and Ro- <br /> seville continued to seek documentation from Xcel Energy and have repeatedly <br /> asked for a meeting with them to discuss the fees. However, to-date, Mr. <br /> Schwartz advised that they had declined to provide any of their document, and <br /> with their Notice of Implementation of the CRFS, the City had sixty (60) days <br /> to file an objection with the PUC, with that deadline being July 25, 2012. Sub- <br /> sequently, Mr. Schwartz advised that another letter of request from the City had <br /> been sent to Xcel. <br /> Mr. Schwartz advised that it was staff's perspective that the City had a strong <br /> case to present to the PUC; and last week, Xcel Energy had finally agreed to a <br /> meeting to discuss it; however, they were proposing the meeting on July 25, <br /> 2012, the deadline for filing, and advised that they had recommended an exten- <br /> sion from the PUC to hear the City's objection. Mr. Schwartz advised that, <br /> while willing to meet on that date, staff didn't want to limit or negate their abil- <br /> ity to file an objection, or rely on the extension option. Therefore, Mr. Schwartz <br /> noted staff's recommendation to continue to work with the City Attorney, and <br /> Little Canada staff to pursue filing an objection, based on the results of further <br /> discussion with Xcel Energy, thus the requested action of the City Council. Mr. <br /> Schwartz noted that, in his phone conversations with Xcel Energy representa- <br />
