AMENDMENT
1. Change oversight to the Finance Department
2. Include waiver of Section 711.318 (Publication costs) which requires the applicant assume the
cost of publication
AUDITOR RECOMMENDED AMENDMENT
Attach Revised Exhibit 1 (Agreement) to include:
a. Specific language from Section 711.321 (Amount and payment of fees) to require, at a
minimum, a revenue letter audited by grantee's independent certified public accountant, verifying
revenues generated in the Jacksonville franchise area
b. Specific language from Section 711.331 (Authority for use of City rights-of-way/permits) to
require the grantee file with their permit application to the City, bonds solely for the protection of
the City
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION
The current agreement with Peoples Gas is for a 10-year period. The City is granting a 30-year
franchise because the applicant desires to make significant capital improvements. The City
Council should consider requiring a minimum capital investment in exchange for the 30-year
agreement, similar to an economic development agreement.
• Authorizes a 30-year non-exclusive natural gas franchise agreement with Peoples Gas System,
Inc.
• Company would be required to remit 6% of Gross Revenue to the City on a monthly basis
