Summary
The city utilities committee voted to call legislation allowing the mayor or designee to amend the city's natural gas supply agreement and enter into a new agreement with IGS Energy, with members noting the change offers a cheaper gas rate.
Barberton’s city utilities committee on Monday approved a request to call legislation authorizing the mayor or his designee to amend the city’s natural gas supply agreement and enter into an agreement with IGS Energy.
Todd Free, director of public service, submitted the request; committee members said the proposed change would secure a cheaper rate for the city. Committee Chair Councilor Griffin said the motion to accept the legislation was approved during the committee meeting.
