Pasco council sets Aug. 17 public hearing on Lightspeed Networks fiber-optic franchise
Summary
Council set a public hearing for Aug. 17, 2026 to consider a franchise renewal with Lightspeed Networks; the action only schedules the hearing and does not approve the agreement.
The City of Pasco set a public hearing for 7 p.m. on Aug. 17, 2026 to consider a franchise renewal with Lightspeed Networks Incorporated, under Resolution 4771. Deputy city manager Miss Sigdell presented the resolution on behalf of Director Sarah, noting municipal code requires a hearing before council can consider any franchise award or renewal.
"This is a renewal, and per our municipal code, council must hold a public hearing before considering any franchise, award or renewal," Sigdell said. The council voted to set the hearing date; staff said the earliest substantive council action on the franchise agreement would be in September following the hearing. The resolution sets the hearing date and does not itself approve the franchise agreement.
The city will post public-notice materials and provide the franchise agreement for public review ahead of the hearing. Staff will be available to answer technical and legal questions at the scheduled meeting.
