Mayor Rooff responded that the proposal by Cedar Falis Utilities was for five years, with automatic renewals after five years. Mayor Rooff stated that once the Utility Board is created, they will negotiate the contracts. Councilperson Jordan asked if the project is not working for Cedar Falls Utilities after five year, would the city have to pay for the cost of the project. Mayor Rooff stated that we would not ask the voters to approve the project unless they assured us they will be here after five years. Councilperson Getty stated that the terms show that the city will have 42 fibers after completion of the project. Dan Mills, Consultant with SFT, Inc., responded that the city does not intend to use those fibers but would lease the 42 fibers to other providers. Councilperson Getty asked if there will be an agreement that if an outside company comes in, Cedar Falls Utilities will let them use their head -in. Mr. Mills responded that the city will pursue other potential providers to use those fibers. Mr. Mills stated that MidAmerican Energy will be purchasing some of the fibers. Mayor Rooff stated that Cedar Falis has shown a good faith effort that they will be here for the duration of the bonds. Mr. Mills stated that planning for more than five years in the telecommunications business is stretching planning as it is ever changing and hard to determine what services will be available. Councilperson Jordan asked if after five years could the city be stuck with paying for the project. Mr. Mills responded that we have to rely on their service reputation. Councilperson Jordan asked how many fibers will be used by MidAmerican Energy. Mayor Rooff responded that MidAmerican Energy has asked the city not to divulge their intent in this project, but it could between six and twelve fibers. Councilperson Jordan asked what would happen if there is a budget overrun, or it takes longer to pay for the project. Mr. Mills responded that there is a 5 percent contingency in the cash flow analysis, which is pretty conservative. Mr. Mills stated he feels it is wiser to push deeper into the community rather than lower costs. Councilperson Berry stated that after five years, the Municipal Utility could take over. Mr. Mills responded yes, except for MidAmerican Energy's fibers. Mayor Rooff stated that no one is obligated at this time. The State Code does not allow the city to sign these types of contracts without a Municipal Utility and a board. Gary Chambers, Chairperson of Telecommunications Task Force, stated that the city is not obligatory until such time as the referendum is passed, the Municipal Utility is established and the Utility Board is created. Any contracts negotiated by the Utility Board would be binding. Mayor Rooff stated that the Memorandums of Understanding are not binding on anyone, just to state everyone's intent. Councilperson Anders stated that the City Clerk has given the council information on the project, has talked with the council to explain the project, and all information has been presented and available to the council since day one. Councilperson Anders stated that he is comfortable with the information presented. Vernon Weems stated that he does not feel the council should vote on the Memorandums of Understanding. Mr. Weems stated he called the City Clerk this morning and asked for a copy of the Memorandums of Understanding and was told she went let him know when they were available. Mr. Weems stated he feels it would be better to table this and hold a work session to get a better understanding of the project. Mr. Weems stated that he feels we could be wasting taxpayers money, and the council should not vote tonight. Mayor Rooff stated these are just Memorandums of Understanding of what the Telecommunications Task Force has come up with after eighteen months. Mayor Rooff stated that no money has been spent on this project. Randy Brown, Vice President with Mediacom, stated he was here to tell the council that Mediacom is interested in the project to build the fiber optic backbone. Mr. Brown stated that Mediacom would like to offer some options for the city. Mayor Rooff asked Mr. Chambers to set up a meeting with Mediacom. August 27, 2001 Page 6 DOCUMENTS CONTINUED Councilperson Jordan asked Mr. Chambers if he would state that he feels that the city as a whole, that this would be best for the residents, and industrial and business customers. Mr. Chambers responded yes. Councilperson Murphy asked that new information be forwarded to the council. Mr. Chambers stated that this is a long-term project, and the Task Force is more than willing to see what Mediacom will bring to the table.

Mr. Hutchens stated that he feels the cost for $5 million of insurance is too high, and this will make it too expensive for those who want to do fireworks displays. Mr. Hutchens stated it would make it too expensive for those who buy fireworks in Missouri and want to shoot them off here. Nancy Eckert, City Clerk, stated that she has worked with the Fire Department and City Attorney's office on this ordinance. The certificate of insurance would be required for anyone who applies for a fireworks display permit, whether the permit would be for a non-profit organization, business or private individuals. The insurance would be required for any display whether it is on private or public property. Ms. Eckert stated the insurance is necessary to lower the city's liability exposure. Ms. Eckert stated that the permits are only issued to qualified pyro-technicians, and they are the ones who would be required to furnish the certificate of insurance. Jim Walsh, City Attorney, stated that he did not have information on the ordinance. Mr. Walsh asked who would be required to furnish the insurance, and Ms. Eckert responded anyone who applies for the fireworks display permit would be required to furnish the certificate of insurance in the amount of $5 million.
