Rocky Mountain Power seeks council guidance as franchise agreement nears expiration
Summary
A Rocky Mountain Power regional manager told the council the city's franchise ordinance is set to expire June 3 (year not specified) and asked for a template and timeline so the company and city can coordinate renewal and avoid permitting or service delays.
Kirk Nigro, who identified himself as the regional business manager for Rocky Mountain Power and a longtime South Ogden resident, introduced himself during public comment and told council a franchise ordinance between the utility and the city will expire on June 3 (year not specified).
"My name is Kirk Nigro. I'm the regional business manager for Rocky Mountain Power, and I just wanted to introduce myself," he said, adding that he represents Weber and Davis counties and asked for the best path to prepare a draft ordinance for council review. Nigro said the franchise ordinance directs use of public rights-of-way and coordination over electric assets, and he sought a template and timeline so the company and city can remain in compliance.
Council members and staff suggested he coordinate with the assistant city manager and city attorney to get the draft reviewed; council asked staff to help facilitate the process so the ordinance can be considered before it expires.
Provenance: introduction and request began at SEG 028 and continued through SEG 078 in public comment.
