� Class 3, as such classes are defined in Section 5 of this article.

have not been paid within 45 days after billing shall be in default
and shall not be entitled to further voting privileges nor to have
its director hold any office nor to use any LOGIS facilities or
programs until such time as no longer in default. In the event
that such charges have not been paid within 45 days after such

such 45th day, notice of withdrawal from membership. In the event

Class 1 charges shall be made as fixed monthly, quarterly or
annual membership dues. They shall be determined annually by

applied to new members.
(b) Class 2 Charges. These charges shall be made to
cover the costs of design and development of computer programs
and systems and other capital costs. The initial members of
LOGIS shall pay such portion of the Class 2 charges as shall
be established by the board, provided that the board shall
attempt in good faith to pro rate such Class 2 charges among
the members in as equitable a manner as possible, giving
consideration, among other things, to anticipated use of the
programs, systems and facilities of the organization. Any new
members, i.e. any governmental units joining LOGIS after May
31, 1972, shall pay a pro rated share of the accumulated Class
2 charges which have been charged to or incurred by all
members, as computed by the board on the same formula as for
initial members as the price of inembership; and such charges,
when paid by such new members, shall be apportioned among the
then existing members in cash or credit on unpaid or future
billings in proportion to the Class 2 charges which such
existing members have thus far paid or incurred.
(c) Class 3 Charges . These charges shall be to cover
the costs of system operation and maintenance in serving
members (and others) on a "as requested" basis. The amount of
such charges shall be determined by the board and such amounts
DJ1062837
Lti100-2 8
shall be computed on the basis of the actual workload utilized
by each member. Class 3 charges shall not be retroactively
applied to new members.
Section 6 . Nothing contained in the foregoing Section 5 shall
prevent the board from charging nonmembers for services rendered by
LOGIS, on such basis as the board shall deem appropriate. For
example, the board shall not be obligated to charge nonmembers, for
services, only Class 3 charges.
Section 7 . It is anticipated that certain members may be in
a position to extend special financial assistance to LOGIS in the
form of grants . The board may credit any such grants against any
charges which the granting member would otherwise have to pay. The
board may also enter into an agreement, as a condition to any such
grant, that it will credit all or a portion of such grant towards
charges which have been made or in the future may be made against
one or more specified members.
Section 8. Board funds may be expended by the board in
accordance with procedures established by law for the expenditure
of funds by villages. Orders, checks, drafts and other legal
instruments shall be signed by the president or vice-president and
countersigned by the secretary-treasurer or such other person as
shall be designated by the board.
Section 9 . Contracts shall be let and purchases shall be made
in accordance with the legal requirements applicable to contracts
and purchases by Minnesota villages.

administrative duties as shall be delegated to him by the board.

Rosemount, MN 55068-4997
Dear Gary,
Per your request, I am writing this letter to address the reason cable access was nat chosen as
the means of communication for connecting the Rosemount Police Department to LOGIS.
Cable access works very well in providing communications within a community. However,
problems arise when spanning circuits between different cable providers. The infrastructure of
each cable provider does not allow interconnectivity between other providers.This makes cable
access between Rosemount and LOGIS unfeasible.
Security is also an issue with cab{e access. Special encryption devices would be required to
maintain security.
LOGIS's previous experience with cable access has been less than reliable. Data
communications over the cable infrastructure is a new endeavor for most cable companies,
hence, the technical support and reliabi(ity is less than satisfactory.
Gary, ( hope this letter answers your questions. Pfease feel free to contact me at 612-543-2623
or Kevin Pikkaraine at 6i2-543-2626 if we can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
