Regular City Council Meeting Monday, December 9, 2013 Page 5 Laliberte moved, Etten seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 11112 (Attachment A) entitled, "A Resolution Regarding the Administration of the Minnesota Wet- land Conservation Act;" delegating Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed Dis- trict as the Local Government Unit (LGU) to administer the Wetland Conserva- tion Act(WCA) within its legal boundaries in the City of Roseville, in accordance with Minnesota Rules, Chapter 8420. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus; Laliberte; Etten; McGehee; and Roe. Nays: None. 8. Consider Items Removed from Consent e. Contract with North Suburban Access Corporation for Video Services At the request of Mayor Roe, Interim City Manager Trudgeon reviewed this re- quest as detailed in the Request for Council Action (RCA) dated December 9, 2013. Mr. Trudgeon noted a bench handout consisting of a revised page to Exhib- it A of Attachment A to the RCA (lines 357 — 368) further defining "Explanation of Services to be Provided," from NSAC to the City. Mr. Trudgeon advised that the annual cost for City staff and part-time video producers was currently estimat- ed at $19,000; and the cost for NSAC was $17,028, with incremental 1% cost in- creases for year 2015 and 2016 of the three (3) year contract. Councilmember Etten noted that Mr. Trudgeon had covered most of his questions regarding this item; and expressed appreciation for the revisions made over the weekend following his initial concerns to staff. With this request, as well as similar requests in the future, Councilmember Etten asked that staff include budget and financial implications from current to project- ed cost savings or additional costs to allow Councilmembers to make better deci- sions. Councilmember Willmus expressed one ongoing concern with the proposed agreement, the Termination Clause, and noted it appeared to be one-sided, and suggested that a provision also be added for the other party; and to consider a longer, 30-60 day termination period for the benefit of both parties. In response to Mayor Roe's request, City Attorney Gaughan, while comfortable with the current language in the agreement, with impacts for two corporate enti- ties, offered to seek such revised language when an agreement is with an individ- ual versus a corporate entity. Mayor Roe expressed his concern in moving beyond a 30-day termination clause; and noted that he would not be supportive of a 60-day termination clause.
