Fairfield tables proposed Enbridge franchise agreement pending revisions and legal review
Summary
The Council voted to table a proposed franchise ordinance for Questar Gas (dba Enbridge Gas Utah) after the town attorney raised concerns and recommended additional protective provisions; Enbridge agreed to postpone until April 15.
The Fairfield Town Council on March 25, 2025 voted to table consideration of a proposed franchise ordinance that would grant Questar Gas Company, doing business as Enbridge Gas Utah, a franchise to construct and operate a gas distribution system in Fairfield.
Mayor Hollie McKinney said the item had been presented as an ordinance rather than as a separate franchise agreement with an accompanying resolution, as had been done for prior utility agreements. Town Attorney Brad Christopherson expressed concerns about the current draft and recommended including additional provisions to better protect the Town. The mayor said Enbridge was agreeable to postponing the item until the April 15 council meeting and that the company would continue engineering work in the interim.
Councilman Michael Weber moved to table the item; Councilman Richard Cameron seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The Council recorded no final action on the franchise at the March 25 meeting and left details to be finalized and reviewed by counsel before the next scheduled meeting.
