Corridors. The City may assign specific corridors within the Right-of-Way, or any
particular segment thereof as may be necessary, for each type of Facilities that is or,
pursuant to current technology, the City expects will someday be located within the
Right-of-Way. All excavation, obstruction, or other permits issued by the City involving
the installation or replacement of Facilities, shall designate the proper corridor for the
Facilities at issue.
Any Right-of-Way User with Facilities in a position at variance with the corridors
established by the City shall, no later than at the time of the next reconstruction or
excavation of the area where the Facilities are located, move the Facilities to the
assigned position within the Right-of-Way, unless this requirement. is waived by the City

life of the Facilities, public safety, customer service needs and hardship to the Right-of-
Way User. However, these factors shall not constitute determination.
Nuisance. One year after the passage of this Section, any Facilities found in a
Right-of-Way that have not been registered with the City shall be deemed to be a

and potential users of the Right-of-Way, but shall be guided primarily by considerations
of the public interest, the public's needs for the particular Utility Service, the condition of
the Right-of-Way, the time of year with respect to essential utilities, the protection of
existing Facilities in the Right-of-Way, and future City plans for public improvements and
development projects which have been determined to be in the public interest.
Relocation of Facilities. A Right-of-Way User must promptly and at its sole expense,
with due regard for seasonal working conditions, permanently remove and relocate its
Facilities in the Right-of-Way when it is necessary to prevent interference, and not

its Facilities and the best procedure for excavation.

necessary to maintain, support, or move a Right-of-Way User's Facilities to protect it,
the City shall notify the Local Representative as early as is reasonably possible. The
costs associated therewith will be billed to that Right-of-Way User and must be paid
within thirty (30) days from the date of billing. Each Right-of-Way User shall be

Way User caused during the City's work in the Right-of-Way or arise out of an response
to an Emergency occasioned by that Right-of-Way User's Facilities.

User's or Permittee's Facilities, the City shall reserve, to and for itself and all Right-of-
Way Users having Facilities in the vacated Right-of-Way, the right to install, maintain
and operate any Facilities in the vacated Right-of-Way and to enter upon such Right-of-
Way at any time for the purpose of reconstructing, inspecting, maintaining or repairing
the same.
Relocation of Facilities. If the vacation requires the relocation of Right-of-Way User's
or Permittee's Facilities; and (i) if the vacation proceedings are initiated by the Right-of-
Way User or Permittee, the Right-of-Way User or Permittee must pay the relocation
costs; or (i1) if the vacation proceedings are initiated by the City, the Right-of-Way User

defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City from all liability or claims of liability for
bodily injury or death to persons or property damage in which the claim: (1) allege a
negligent or otherwise wrongful act or omission of the Permittee or its employee, agent
or independent contractor in installing, maintaining, or repairing the Permittee's Facilities
and alleges that the local government unit is liable, without alleging any independent
negligent, or otherwise wrongful, act or omission on the part of the City; or (2) is based

failing to properly or adequately inspect or enforce compliance with a term, condition, or
purpose of the Permit granted to Permittee.

(b) when otherwise provided in an applicable franchise agreement.
701.724
Defense. A defense or indemnification of the City by a Permittee is deemed not be a
waiver of any defense or immunity otherwise available to the City. A Permittee, in
defending any action on behalf of the City, is entitled to assert every defense or
immunity that the City could assert on its own behalf.
If a suit is brought against the City under circumstances where the Registrant or
Permittee is required to indemnify, the Registrant or Permittee, at its sole cost and
expense, shall defend the City in the suit if written notice of the suit is promptly given to
the Registrant or Permittee within a period in which the Registrant or Permittee is not
prejudiced by the lack or delay of notice.

control of the litigation, but the Registrant or Permittee may not settle the litigation
without the consent of the City. Consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

limitation otherwise available to the City.

may exercise any remedies or rights it has at law or in equity, including, but not limited
to, (i) abating the nuisance (ii) taking possession of the Facility and restoring it to a
useable condition, or (iii) requiring removal of the Facility by the Right-of-Way User, or
the Right-of-Way User's successor-in-interest.
Removal. Any Registrant or Permittee who has an Abandoned Facility in any
Right-of-Way shall remove it from that Right-of-Way upon demand of the City or during
the next scheduled excavation, unless this requirement is waived by the City.
Appeal. [Minn. Stat. !l237.163, subd. 5] A Telecommunications Right-of-Way user that:
(1) has been denied registration; (2) has been denied a Right-of-Way Permit; (3) has
had its Right-of-Way Permit revoked; or (4) believes that the fees imposed on it by the
City do not conform to the requirements of Minn. Stat. !l237.163, subd. 6 may have the
denial, revocation, or fee imposition reviewed, upon written request, by the City Council.
The City Council shall consider any timely written request at its next regularly scheduled
meeting. A decision by the City Council affirming the denial, revocation, or fee imposition
will be in writing and supported by written findings establishing the reasonableness of
the decision.
Each party to the arbitration shall pay its own costs, disbursements, and attorney fees.
Reservation of Regulatol'Y and Police Powers. A Permittee's or Registrant's rights
are subject to the regulatory and police powers of the City to adopt and enforce general
ordinances necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public.
Severabiliw. If any subsection, sentence, ciause, phrase, or portion of this Section is
for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional by any court or administrative agency of
competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed separate, distinct, and independent
provision and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions thereof.
If a regulatory body or a court of competent jurisdiction should determine by a final, non-
appealable order that any permit, right or registration issued under this Section or any
portions of this Section illegal or unenforceable, then any such permit, right or
registration granted or deemed to exist hereunder shall be considered as a revocable
permit with a mutual right in either party to terminate without cause upon giving sixty
(60) days written notice to the other. The requirements and conditions of such a
revocable permit shall be the same requirements and conditions as set forth in the
permit, right or registration, respectively, except for conditions relating to the term of the
permit and the right of termination. Nothing in this Section precludes the City from
requiring a franchise agreement with the Applicant, as allowed by law, in addition to
requirements forth herein.
THIS ORDINANCE SHALL TAKE EFFECT UPON ITS PASSAGE AND PUBLICATION.
Passed by the City Council of the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota this 19th day of June, 2000.
