RECOMMENDATION:

5:31 p.m. Public Hearing for consideration of adopting a new Natural Gas Franchise Ordinance for the Town of Century, Florida.

Recommendation: That the Board adopt a new Natural Gas Franchise Ordinance for the Town of Century, Florida.

BACKGROUND:

At its regularly scheduled meeting on April 5, 2018, the Board approved the scheduling of a public hearing concerning the new natural gas franchise ordinance for the Town of Century, Florida. In 1968, the Board granted the Town of Century (then known as the Town of South Flomaton) a franchise to provide natural gas services to citizens located within a limited portion of the unincorporated area located in northern Escambia County. The present franchise expires this year. The Town is requesting the Board adopt a new franchise ordinance that provides the Town with the same rights and responsibilities, as other County franchises, including payment of franchise fees. This new franchise would not extend beyond the franchise area previously designated in the 1968 franchise agreement.
