AGENDA ITEM #10.2 <br /> City of <br /> Pequot <br /> Lakes— <br /> REPORT TO <br /> CITY COUNCIL <br /> Report Prepared by: Nancy Malecha <br /> Date: April 4, 2017 <br /> Subject: Gas Franchise Ordinance <br /> Report: In 1994, the City Council approved the attached <br /> Ordinance No. 159 which grants Northern States <br /> Power/Xcel Energy a non-exclusive franchise to erect a gas <br /> distribution system within the City. This Ordinance period <br /> is for 25 years and is set to expire in the spring of 2019. A <br /> representative from Xcel Energy has contacted me to begin <br /> the renewal process of this Ordinance. <br /> I asked the City Attorney to review this Ordinance and I am <br /> wondering if the City Council would like to explore the <br /> possibility of setting a franchise fee in the renewal <br /> ordinance. <br /> Council Action Requested: Council discussion on <br /> possible gas franchise ordinance changes with Northern <br /> States Power/Xcel Energy. <br />
