Committee reviews proposed franchise ordinance protecting South Central Power on projects up to 5 kW
Summary
The Law Committee's temporary ordinance (Temp Ord #69-25) was introduced as a replacement for TO 39-25 and would add a provision granting South Central Power protection for projects up to 5 kilowatts within city territory; the measure was introduced with explanation from Mr. Bizjak and will return for further readings.
The Lancaster Finance/Law record on Nov. 3 shows the introduction of Temp Ord #69-25, a proposed ordinance intended to replace TO 39-25 as the franchise agreement with South Central Power.
Mr. Bizjak explained that the new draft replaces the prior ordinance and includes language that grants protection to South Central Power for any project up to 5 kW located within its territory inside the city. The minutes identify the ordinance as a replacement measure and record the explanation but do not show extended debate or a recorded vote at the committee meeting.
The item was placed on the agenda for further consideration; committee procedures indicate the ordinance will undergo the standard reading process and legal review before any vote by the full council.
