Bylaw C-1467 - Electric Distribution System Franchise Agreement

Council gave first reading to Bylaw C-1467, allowing the municipality to enter into an Electric Distribution System Franchise Agreement.

The franchise agreement with ATCO requires updating with the acceptance of the offer to convert non-invested streetlights to invested streetlights. The Alberta Utilities Commission has an identified process for amending franchise agreements. Council must have first reading of Bylaw C-1467, which allows the City to enter into an agreement with ATCO. Once the Commission has approved the franchise agreement, Council may proceed with second and third reading.
