    414 Nicollet Mall Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401 — VIA ELECTRONIC FILING— December 2, 2011 Burl W. Haar Executive Secretary Minnesota Public Utilities Commission 121 7th Place East, Suite 350 St. Paul, MN 55101 RE: PETITION FOR APPROVAL OF A NEW ESCROW FUND AGREEMENT FOR NUCLEAR PLANT DECOMMISSIONING DOCKET NO. E002/M-11-______ Dear Dr. Haar: Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota corporation (“Xcel Energy” or the “Company”), submits to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (the “Commission”) a Petition for approval to modify the Accessible Escrow Fund accounts for nuclear plant decommissioning. The Commission’s July 20, 2006, Order in Docket No. E002/M-05-1648 approved the Company’s May 8, 2006, Petition to establish new escrow accounts for nuclear plant decommissioning funds in a way that would allow funds to be returned to ratepayers if warranted. The establishment of the “accessible external escrow proposal” was embodied in an Escrow and Custody Agreement. The agreement is designed to set aside nuclear decommissioning funds in accounts that are accessible prior to or during the decommissioning process. Transfers from the fund and modifications to the agreement can only be made upon Commission approval. Since the Commission’s approval of the Escrow and Custody Agreement, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved the operating licenses of both Prairie Island and Monticello an additional 20 years. Monticello can now operate until 2030, Prairie Island Unit 1 can operate until 2033 and Prairie Island Unit 2 unit 2034. Due to the change in remaining recovery periods for the plants, a review of the agreement and their current balances indicates a rebalancing of Burl W.

  • Proposal to Provide Legal Services
    JENNIFER HANSON (612) 492-6959 Fax (612) 340-2643 [email protected] July 21, 2014 Ms. Pauline Sumption, Finance Officer City of Rapid City 300 Sixth Street Rapid City, SD 57701 Re: Proposal to Provide Legal Services Dear Ms. Sumption: Thank you for the opportunity to be considered to serve as counsel to the City of Rapid City (the “City”) in connection with its planned financing of an expansion to the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center (the “Civic Center”). We are pleased to be able to offer to bring our extensive background in South Dakota and stadium financing to bear in this transaction. Representative South Dakota Experience As bond counsel to Rapid City for well over 40 years, Dorsey has extensive experience working with the City on sales tax, revenue and lease financings, including the original and all subsequent Civic Center financings, municipal airport, parking facilities, utility projects and more. We understand the opportunities and challenges of issuing debt in South Dakota, from the local control allowed by sales tax ordinances to constitutional and legislative limits and procedural hurdles. In the last five years, we have provided counsel on approximately $112 million of City bond issues. In addition, as counsel to over 20 other South Dakota municipalities, Dorsey has, in the last 5 years, acted as bond counsel on over 50 individual issues, close to half of which were either sales tax or certificate of participation lease financings, aggregating over $150,000,000 in principal amount. Stadium / Arena Experience Stadium financings represent unique challenges by virtue of their size; political challenges and potential for litigation; design, construction and land use complexities and potential uses of the stadium for concessions, sponsorships, advertising and naming rights.
