FRANCHISE FEE FOR NATURAL GAS UTILITIES <br /> Director of Management and Budget Jason Brown explained that in order to serve their <br /> customers, various utility providers are permitted access to numerous County-owned rights of <br /> way and easements throughout the region. He reported that there are currently franchise <br /> fees/agreements in place for all of the major utilities in the County: electric, water, sewer, and <br /> solid waste; however, for some reason, natural gas has not been included in these utilities . <br /> Director Brown thereafter presented staffs recommendation for the Board to authorize staff to <br /> draft code changes initiating a franchise fee for natural gas ; and then move forward to establish a <br /> franchise agreement with the natural gas provider/s serving the unincorporated areas of the <br /> County. <br /> Director Brown, with input from Administrator Baird, addressed Commissioner Zorc' s <br /> questions about revenue projections and the anticipated commencement date for the new <br /> franchise fee. <br /> IK 4 3 P6 C 61, <br /> December 11 , 2012 16 . <br />
