Summary

Council approved Ordinance 1055‑2026 renewing the city's gas franchise with Avista Corporation; council confirmed the prior franchise dated from 2008 and discussed term length (approved as a renewal).

Marissa (speaker 7) presented Ordinance 1055‑2026 to renew Connell City's gas franchise with Avista Corporation. She said the franchise has been in place since 2008 and that the proposed renewal specifies a 20‑year term.

Council discussed the term length (20 vs. 25 years) and reviewed that the city file only contained the earlier 2008 agreement. A council member moved to approve the ordinance renewing the gas franchise; the motion was seconded and the chair announced the motion passed.

The ordinance was approved by voice vote; the transcript shows the motion, second and the chair's announcement that the motion passed, but it does not record a roll‑call tally in the transcript.
