Council defers Giant Communications franchise ordinance for further review
Summary
Action on a proposed franchise ordinance with Giant Communications was deferred so staff and the mayor can discuss renewal provisions with Giant's franchise account manager before the council acts.
The council deferred consideration of a franchise ordinance with Giant Communications on Sept. 9, 2024. Mayor Loren Lutes said action would be postponed because "there are a few changes that need to be discussed with the Giant Franchise Account Manager including the renewal portion of the franchise Ordinance." No vote on the ordinance was taken; the item will return for future review after those discussions.
The deferral indicates staff and the mayor will negotiate or clarify renewal language with the company's account manager before bringing a revised ordinance back to the council for action.
