871090-EU, Order No. 18834 (February 9, 1988) (collectively referred to as the "Commission's Territorial Orders") . The City's service area, as approved by the Commission's Territorial Orders, includes the area within the City limits, areas outside the City limits in unincorporated Indian River County, and most of the Town of Indian River Shores. On information and belief, the City asserts that it has served areas outside the City limits since as early as the 1930s, and probably since the 1920s . The earliest known documentary evidence of the City serving outside the City limits is found in Chapter No. 599 of the City's ordinances, enacted on October 21, 1952 . This ordinance clearly shows that the City was serving outside the City limits at least as early as that year. In 1974, the Legislature enacted the Grid Bill, Chapter 74-196, Laws of Florida, which among other things made the Commission' s "implicit authority" over territorial agreements and territorial disputes explicit, Public Service Comm'n v. Fuller, 551 So. 2d 1210, 1212 (Fla. 1989) , and also gave the Commission express jurisdiction over the "planning, development, and maintenance of a coordinated electric power grid throughout the state of Florida" and the "responsibility of avoiding the uneconomic duplication of facilities . " Id. ; Fla. Stat. § 366 . 04 (5) . In sum, in the 1980 and 1987 dockets, the Commission exercised its jurisdiction under its Grid Bill authority, codified in Chapter 366, to approve the territorial agreements between FPL and Vero Beach in order to prevent the uneconomic duplication of facilities and to provide for the most efficient service to the area in question. In 1986, following on the already considerable history of the City serving outside its corporate boundaries, the City and the Town of Indian River Shores entered into a 30-year franchise agreement. In 1987, the City and Indian River County also entered into the 30-year franchise agreement discussed in the Board's Petition (the "County-City Franchise Agreement" or the "Franchise Agreement") . Neither Indian River Shores nor the County had ever had a franchise agreement with the City before 1986 or 1987, respectively. Although facially obvious, it bears noting that the Commission's express statutory territorial jurisdiction had been in effect for more than a decade before either franchise agreement was executed, and that the Commission's jurisdiction and power to approve territorial agreements had been in effect, as upheld and approved by the Florida Supreme Court, for two decades before either franchise agreement existed. Although authorized to do so, the Town has never asked the City to collect and remit franchise fees to the Town. Pursuant to the County-City Franchise Agreement, the City has consistently collected and remitted franchise fees to the County. 4 ��
