Council lends support to Ohio Municipal League challenge to AT&T tariff filing at PUCO
Summary
Vermilion City Council voted to adopt an ordinance supporting the Ohio Municipal League's challenge to AT&T's tariff application at the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio and authorized filing to participate in the proceeding.
Vermilion City Council voted to adopt ordinance 2025-5, expressing the city’s support for the Ohio Municipal League’s (OML) challenge to an AT&T tariff application at the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO). The ordinance was presented and declared an emergency so the city’s filing could be submitted within the deadline identified by staff.
At a brief discussion, councilors confirmed the challenge would be prosecuted through filings at the PUCO and, if necessary, could proceed through Ohio administrative and common pleas court processes identified by staff. A staff member noted the procedural path would begin at PUCO; subsequent appeals or related matters could be litigated in common pleas court as appropriate.
Council approved the motion to sign onto OML’s challenge and to authorize staff to submit any required documents to PUCO within the deadline communicated by the Ohio Municipal League.
Ending: Staff said it would prepare and submit the city’s supporting filing to the PUCO before the stated deadline and would update council on any further procedural developments.
