FRANCHISE FEES

The City imposes a 4% to 8% franchise fee on utility companies for the use of right-of-
ways. These include gas, electricity, telephone, fiber optics, cable television, solid waste
collection, water and sewer, and drainage. Franchise revenues are recorded in the
General Fund and PEG (Public, Education and Government) Fund.

Outlook
Franchise fee revenue is projected to increase slightly (1.8%) due to increase utility gross
sales.

Major Influence
Factors affecting franchises include population, utility gross sales, rate of charges and
fluctuation in weather, which affects electricity, gas and water revenues.
