Franchise Fees represent those revenues collected from utilities operating within the City that use the City’s rights-of-way to conduct their business. The
City Council has authorized a 4% fee for the electric utility, 4% for the natural gas utility, 5% for the cable TV utility and a 2% of gross receipts fee for
refuse collection. A flat rate is charged to both telephone operators [adjusted annually] based on the number of access lines. The city anticipates
franchise fee collections of $6.4 million in FY26, which is $176,000 less than the FY25 budget. Changes mandated by the state legislature have resulted in
decreases in the fees that can be imposed on franchisees.
