Northwestern Bell seeks 25 year Dakota City franchise renewal
The Dakota City council, in a session continuing from Page 1, heard Northwestern Bell Telephone Company request renewal of its phone franchise. The council approved the estimate under suspension of the three readings, with a December public vote possible (Dec 7 or 14) to allow poles and cable on city property for 25 years. The current franchise expired in 1978 and Bell noted a recent Commerce Commission ruling against free service as a franchise incentive. Northwestern Bell will cover election costs. Additionally, a public hearing for vacating two blocks of alleys was set for Oct 13 at 8:30 p.m., while the commission considers more vacatings over the next months. The city will seek snow-removal bids, and $2,000 was authorized for Associated Engineers for the inter-city sewage project with Humboldt. The fireworks ordinance remains unchanged. The next meeting is at 7 p.m. on Oct 13. attendees included Cartwright and councilmen Lee, Torkelson, Van Horm, and Schulte. Johnson was absent.
