The council also discussed a resolution that would update and establish a franchise agreement with CenturyLink. The new ordinance would update a previous agreement that was established in 1956 between the city and the telecommunications company.
City Utilities Director, Dan Roberts, explained to the council what the current agreement with CenturyLink is, and what the new agreement will update.
The ordinance will go to public hearing and first reading at the next council meeting on January 21st, and will have to go through three readings to be passed.
