IZe: Waive Right of Way Permit Fees -Access Communications
Enclosed is a letter from Access Communications requesting that the City waive
our standard right of way permit fees for installation of the fiber optic cable connecting
Dakota County, Hastings School District and City facilities. This work would normally
be charged a $758 right of way permit fee to cover the costs of tracking and inspecting
the construction and restoration within the right of way. Council is requested to waive
this right of way fee.

Dear Mr. Montgomery,
Access Communications, Inc. is working on a joint fiber build project with the City of Hastings,
Hastings School District, and Dakota County to install a fiber optic cable system. We are requesting
all permit fees be waved from all parties to keep your expense down for this project. We have had a
great response from all other agenies and would hope for the same from the City of Hastings.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Randy Herman

Tom,
When we summit permits to any agencies for city, k12, and government fiber systems we ask the
agencies to wave fees or try to reduce permit expense. It is up to the agencies weather or not they
can or want to.
There were no permits from the county issued. 1 have no fees from the State of Minnesota, And the
only other fee we have seen is $200 application fee from the railroad. No additional fees our planned
on unless the city charges.
Thanks
Randy
