Jackson council lists first reading of AMI opt-out ordinance
Summary
The Jackson City Council agenda on April 7, 2026 included a discussion and a first reading of Ordinance 2026-004, which would add an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) meters opt-out program to Chapter 66 (Utilities) of the city code; the transcript records the agenda items but not a final vote or implementation details.
Mayor Carlos Duffey and the Jackson City Council included an item on April 7, 2026 to discuss an AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) opt-out policy and to take a first reading of Ordinance 2026-004.
Ordinance 2026-004 is listed on the agenda as "AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CITY OF JACKSON CODE OF ORDINANCES CHAPTER 66: UTILITIES; ARTICLE I – IN GENERAL; ADDING SECTION 66-6 ADVANCED METERING INFRASTRUCTURE METERS OPT-OUT PROGRAM." The ordinance text is referenced on the agenda but the transcript does not record debate, a motion, or a vote on the ordinance.
The agenda placement indicates the council intends to consider adding a formal opt-out program for AMI meters to the city code. The transcript provides the ordinance number and the chapter of the code it would amend but does not supply details about the program’s requirements, any proposed fees, eligibility, or implementation timeline.
Next steps: the agenda shows a first reading was scheduled; the transcript does not record whether the council advanced the ordinance beyond first reading, any amendments, or a vote. Any future meeting materials or minutes should be consulted for outcome, text of the ordinance, and staff analyses.
Provenance: The AMI opt-out discussion appears on the agenda (SEG 016) and the ordinance first reading is listed later in the ordinances section (SEG 019).
