Overview

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. Due to legislative changes, some franchise fee will be reduced.

Franchise revenues are recorded in the General Fund and PEG (Public, Education and
Government) Fund.

Outlook
Franchise fee revenue is projected to increase slightly (2.5%) 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.
