Council tables two franchise ordinances for telecom providers for more review
Summary
Ordinances No. 669 (NFC Northwest LLC) and No. 670 (Ziply Fiber Pacific LLC) were discussed but tabled on the attorney's advice to allow further review and comparison of the agreements.
The council discussed two proposed franchise agreements — Ordinance No. 669 for NFC Northwest, LLC and Ordinance No. 670 for Ziply Fiber Pacific, LLC — but ultimately tabled both items to the next meeting on the advice of Town Attorney Jeff Slothower.
Slothower advised the council that the two agreements had similarities that warranted further review; the council did not vote to adopt either ordinance and instructed staff and the attorney to return the items at a future meeting for additional consideration.
Councilmembers asked for time to compare the agreements before taking formal action; no timetable for the next review was set during the meeting.
