STIPULATION AGREEMENT AS IT RELATES TO THE COLLECTION OF
FRANCHISE FEES AND THE BURIAL OF DISTRIBUTION LINES (WEV)
Acting Mayor Huffaker introduces the issue.
Zoning Administrator Vaughn, I provided a memo in your packet which describes the
Stipulation Agreement with Idaho Power. Provides an overview and history of the
Stipulation Agreement as it relates to the collection of franchise fee and discussed the
burial of distribution lines. My question tonight is "are you interested in keeping the 3%
franchise fee in place and continue to prioritize those funds for burying distribution lines
into the future?" If you are not the Settlement Stipulation will end at the end of2010 and
revert back to the 1 % franchise fee. If you are we can work with Idaho Power to either
draft an updated Stipulation Agreement to present to you and Idaho Power for your
approval or just change the Franchise Agreement to 3% with the acknowledgement that
2% would be for burying distributio):llines.
Discussion on areas where distribution lines could be buried. The next project is the Hill
Road Project in 2013 and we could save franchise fees to cover these costs. General
discussion.
Council concurs to continue this item to the August 10, 2010 City Council meeting, to
have Blake Watson, Idaho Power, give a presentation on this
