The City Manager next discussed with the Council a matter related to
the recently awarded contract to Electric Service Company for athletic field and
hockey lighting. He referred to a previous discussion of an alleged potential
patent infringement by the Cleco Company regarding the lighting design at the
Grandview hockey rink. The City Manager reported that since they had nothing
to do with influencing the design of the lighting system, the principals of
Electric Service Company were reluctant to enter into a contract with the City
of Brooklyn Center if said contract were to require them to hold the City of
Brooklyn Center harmless from such a potential patent infringement suit. The
City Council discussed the matter with the City Attorney and staff whereupon a
motion was made by Theodore Willard and seconded by Howard Heck to authorize
the City Manager to amend the proposed contract with Electric Service Company
to the extent that the company will be relieved of responsibility to hold the City
of Brooklyn Center harmless from any potential patent infringement liability to
the extent claimed by the Cieco Company. Voting in favor were: Philip Cohen,
John Leary, Earl Rydberg, Howard Heck and Theodore Willard. Voting against
were: none. Motion carried unanimously.
