Waverly council hires attorney for broadband franchise work with $10,000 cap
Summary
The Waverly City Council authorized an engagement agreement with attorney Michael Bradley Warner to pursue a broadband franchise agreement and set a not-to-exceed cap of $10,000 without further council approval. The motion passed unanimously 5-0.
The Waverly City Council voted 5-0 on June 9 to retain attorney Michael Bradley Warner to begin work on a broadband franchise agreement, approving an engagement agreement with a not-to-exceed cap of $10,000 without additional council approval.
City Administrator Carrie Krienke told the council that outreach to neighboring cities found no interest in a joint effort, and council members emphasized that a franchise agreement would give stronger protections for residents and clearer service-quality expectations similar to the existing Comcast/Xfinity franchise. Council Member Scott Jacobson moved the authorization; the motion carried 5-0. The council placed a cap on expenditures to limit budget exposure.
