radius of five hundred feet (500') per access point." Commissioner Gilmore continued,
"But in your Report, you sayan area of a few hundred square feet. Now a five hundred
foot (500') radius covers quite - that is significantly more than a few hundred square

hundred feet (500'), and that's - kind of an average."

Further discussion.
Ms. Milda Hedblom, Ph.D., JD., Hubert H Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs,
University of Minnesota, 301 19th Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota: spoke to the
City Commission on issues related to this Agenda Item.
Discussion continued.
City Manager Ronald W. McLemore asked ahout the second model and inquired, "Who
is paying for all the gadgets inside the buildings?" Mr. Gray commented, "There's no
subscription service on this. It'd be purely outside wireless." Manager McLemore asked,
"This is external service only?" Mr. Gray replied, "External service only." Manager
McLemore continued, "So, this is not getting inside buildings, making buildings work?"
Mr. Gray responded, "Yes."
Further discussion.
Mr. Nick Dragisich, Executive Vice President, Springsted Incorporated, 380 Jackson
Street, Suite 300, Saint Paul, Minnesota: addressed the City Commission.
Further discussion.
Commissioner Rick Brown suggested, "I assume we would set this up on some kind of
Franchise Agreement." Manager McLemore remarked, "Sure."
Ms. Hedblom commented, "It's real clear under - this approach that cities can provide, as
you've been talking about, a public service without charge. That the City can choose to
do; how it gets there is up to the City? Does it pay for and run it or does it work a deal
with a private provider. That's the City's choice, but if there's no revenue stream
connected to it, the law says you can choose to do that as a public service."
Discussion continued.
Regarding Jetta Point, Commissioner Joanne M. Krebs said, "My question is, I did not
see Central Winds [Park] in that scenario, so if we were not going to consider J etta Point,
could we consider the fifth as Central Winds [Park]." Manager McLemore commented,
"We are."

Ms. Hedblom remarked, "For those folks, they're going to have a charged service.
They're going to have the access code, if you want to use that kind of language, in order
to use it. They're not just going to be able to pull up and use it. They're going to have to
pay them for it. What you're anticipating, I think, under this model, is that you could
negotiate with them that there would be specific hotspot areas of the City, that you hope
their footprint would encompass enough or some of what you want to accomplish. And
for that area you might get some kind of a deal worked out where you could get free
access, exterior access, from that service. Whether that's possible, you need to try to
negotiate.
And that actually leads me to a second point that I wanted to make. I think you seem to
have a strong interest in pursuing that model. It makes sense, given what conversation
going on. I would think it makes sense also for you to keep in mind that since you've
only got that one (1) provider right now with that particular kind of technology and
desire, you might keep in mind that you might find yourselves needing to think about if
the City wants to have hotspots, but that deal doesn't work with that provider. That's
another matter. Then you revisit your options."
Commissioner Brown commented, "I don't think we have a timeline so if this one
doesn't want to provide those or can't provide those, there's nothing that says we have to
have this here. We can wait until the right opportunity comes along."
Discussion.
Regarding the length of contracts, Ms. Hedblom commented, "If you were to say which
way should the City want to have, I would say a shorter term contract." Ms. Hedblom
continued, "I guess my bottom line recommendation would to be have that conversation
and see how close you can get to what you want and what they want."
Deputy Mayor McGinnis asked, "Can we say who that provider is?" Manager
McLemore said, "The brandname is Clearwire."
Ms. Hedblom commented, "And that by the way is a kind of technology that's known as
WiMax, not WiFi. And that of course sits on a different spectrum."
With further comments, Ms. Hedblom commented, "If it's free hotspot..."
Commissioner Krebs asked, ".. . And where is that signal coming from?" Mr. Gray
replied, "In the Town Center scenario, there's going to be multiple, other access points
located in that area that are all pointing back up to the tower to get that signal."
Commissioner Krebs asked, "And those would be put there at the provider's expense?"
Mr. Gray responded, "Yes."

Discussion continued.
Ms. Hedblom remarked, "If it were a free service, that would have to be negotiated out
with the provider. You couldn't categorically say that would be paid for by the provider
if we're talking about a free service."
Commissioner Krebs spoke for the Record about number 4 on page 5, and that Central
Winds Park is not listed. Furthermore, Commissioner Krebs commented, "I just brought
this up only - if we are going to consider this, that we also consider that Central Winds
[Park] is one of the free hotspot areas and that if we needed to take Jetta Point out, we
could do that; or we could leave it in." Commissioner Brown remarked, "We just
incorporate that into City center." Manager McLemore said, "Right."
Further discussion.
Deputy Mayor McGinnis commented, "As I understand it, our charge tonight is just to
accept your Report, discuss it. We will not be voting on any of these options tonight. It
will come back to us as an Agenda Item." Manager McLemore said, "That is correct."
Manager McLemore continued, "The main thing is to get everybody on the same page
from a knowledge base perceptive."
Manager McLemore commented, "In this case, you have a private provider who needs
our tower space. And we say 'okay', in order to get our tower space, here's what we
want back. That's the deal. It's that simple." Manager McLemore continued, "And the
other case would be, we'll do it ourselves. We'll put in all the infrastructure and we're
going to charge a smaller price than you would; and therefore, you won't be competitive
with us and we'll have all the business. Well, maybe."
Discussion continued.
Deputy Mayor McGinnis said, "We accept the Report. It was very comprehensive."
Manager McLemore commented, "We'll bring it back to you by Agenda Item."
Ms. Hedblom commented, "He asked whether the slides that were part of the legal
discussion need to be visited again and I think not because you're not looking at a
revenue model tonight. If you decide you ever get there, then we need to have more
conversation. "

Manager McLemore explained, "The easy way to solve this problem is just whenever
you're going to have Meeting, let us know, we'll make sure, I will contact the Chief. The
Chief will say, this is where I'm going to be." Manager McLemore stated, "But I don't
want to get in the middle of a battle between the Commissioners over this issue. You just
need to make a policy statement. All you have to do is let me know if you want the
Police Chief or whoever there. I will say to the Chief, please have someone there. If he
wants to go and - do that; he'll make that decision."
Commissioner Brown stated, "I will give you a call and let you know when my next
meeting is scheduled and you can let me know how to arrange appropriate services."
Commissioner Brown continued, "And if the Commission decides that that is not how
they want to provide and you want to Vote on my ability to orchestrate through the City
Manager select Staff s services to be there, you just need to let me know."
Manager McLemore explained, "Typically in most communities, the Commission would
say okay if individual members want to go out and do things and they need the assistance
of Staff there to help them carry a message, that's okay. But, we all have that same right
and this is our Policy, and here's a way we'll do it. Whenever we want to do that, we get
in touch with the City Manager, tell him who he wants and we'll go out and find and
provide all that and we're all playing on the same page."
Discussion continued.

With additional discussion on Town Hall Meetings, Manager McLemore remarked, "All
I ask you to do is let me know and I'll make sure that it goes down the line and
everything gets coordinated, if that's the Policy of the Commission." Commissioner
Brown said, "So, if that needs to come back as an Agenda Item before the Commission,
let's get it on the next Agenda." Commissioner Krebs stated, "I think you should."
Manager McLemore explained, "I need to know what the wish of the Commission is so
that the Staff is not caught in the middle. That's all I need to know. If it's your Policy to
support that, then fine, let me know. We'll make sure that right people are there."
