N P Gas and Electric Franchise Agreement Renewals <br /> Background: State law allows cities to require franchise agreements of gas and electric utilities. <br /> Traditionally, such agreements give cities a means to control how a utility company constructs, <br /> operates repairs and maintains its facilities. while Roseville has opted not to charge a fee, state law <br /> also allows cities to charge for the right to provide service within City boundaries. <br /> The existing N P franchise agreements for gas and electric service were implemented in 1978 and <br /> expired on May 1, 1998, New franchise agreements have been prepared and were reviewed by the <br /> Council on.duly 13, 1998. Final adoption was continued to July 27, 1998, <br /> As part of the cable franchise review, the City has hired an outside attorney to review the proposed <br /> cable franchise, N P franchises and right-of-way ordinance. To allow adequate time for this review, <br /> it is recommended that final action on the N P franchises be continued to August 10, 1998. <br /> RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: <br /> Motion continuing final action on the proposed IP Gas and Electric Franchise Agreements to <br /> August 10, 1998, <br /> Prepared by: Karl P Keel <br />
