Item # 8.

Work Session and Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:	06/24/2019
Department:	City Manager

AGENDA CAPTION:

Consider Action to Approve an Ordinance Amending Ordinance No. 005-010 as Amended, Which Grants a Franchise to Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC, by Extending the Term and Providing for Its Renewal; Providing a Severability Clause; Providing a Savings Clause; Providing an Effective Date; and Providing for Acceptance by Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC.

BACKGROUND:

This Ordinance extends the Town of Addison's current franchise with Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (hereafter "Oncor"), which is set to expire on July 31, 2019. The franchise provides Oncor with the authority to construct and operate electric power lines and facilities within the public rights-of-way for the purpose of delivering electricity.

Oncor has presented the Town with a proposed franchise renewal ordinance for consideration. Staff has reviewed the proposed franchise ordinance and has been monitoring negotiations between the City of Plano and Oncor regarding their franchise agreement. Staff believes it is prudent to temporarily extend the existing franchise and model any future revisions to the franchise after those negotiated between Plano and Oncor.

RECOMMENDATION:

Administration recommends approval.
