City Council to consider franchise agreement with Blue Peak for fiber across Alabama, official says
Summary
A city official said the City Council will consider a franchise agreement with Blue Peak to install fiber "throughout Alabama" at its Monday meeting; the transcript records the announcement but not a vote or supporting documents.
A city official said the City Council will consider a franchise agreement with Blue Peak that would allow the company to install fiber "throughout Alabama." The official characterized the agreement as something that could benefit residential customers and local business development.
"Monday night, the City Council will be, considering action on a franchise agreement with Blue Peak for fiber throughout Alabama," the city official said, adding that the franchise has been a factor affecting business development. The official said the availability of fiber will be welcomed by residential customers.
The transcript recorded the announcement as an upcoming agenda item; it did not include supporting documents, ordinance text, or a recorded vote on the franchise agreement. The official also thanked public works staff, saying, "Steve and his crew are doing a great job," but did not provide details on franchise terms, compensation, or timelines.
Because the transcript only recorded the announcement of agenda placement, there was no formal council action on the franchise agreement to report in this meeting record.
