Council adopts gas-aggregation program resolution amid recusal
Summary
Reading City Council suspended rules and adopted Resolution 2026-16R authorizing a gas aggregation agreement recommended by Energy Alliances, Inc.; the adoption passed 6-0-1 with one recusal.
Council on June 2 moved to adopt a resolution authorizing the Safety-Service Director to enter into a gas-aggregation agreement with a supplier recommended by Energy Alliances, Inc. The council first voted to suspend the rule requiring a third reading; that motion passed 6-0-1 with Mr. Bishop recusing himself. The subsequent motion to adopt the resolution carried by the same 6-0-1 roll call, recorded as Resolution 2026-16R.
The resolution authorizes the city to enter into agreements to stabilize and potentially reduce natural-gas costs for participants; council did not discuss details of the supplier or contract terms on the record during the meeting. Mr. Bishop’s recusal was recorded; no further detail about the reason for the recusal was provided in the minutes.
