Is there an ongoing administration fee charged by Dakota Electric and Xcel Energy for collecting the franchise fee?

Dakota Electric and Xcel Energy do not apply an administrative fee associated with the franchise fee. The full amount of the franchise fee revenue collected by the utility company is remitted to the City of Inver Grove Heights. (This full remittance with no administrative fee assessed to the city is required by the Public Utilities Commission.) The utility companies will no longer pay right of way fees.
