'We have until 2026 to finalize a franchise agreement. But TEP has signaled that they have immediate needs for upgrading some of their capital investments. That means the conversations – plural and in tandem – should start sooner rather than…
The dust is gradually settling in the aftermath of Proposition 412 failing. So, what now? The short answer is that your power will not go off, TEP will continue to operate as our primary electric utility, and we will go back to the drawing board to craft a new franchise agreement that will eventually go back to the voters for approval. Ultimately it is the community that will need to agree to the extension of the current franchise agreement.
Secondly, my approach to a renewed franchise agreement proposal will be to sanitize what goes to the voters and put together a separate agreement that addresses climate and undergrounding commitments. A franchise agreement should simply be giving approval to the utility to work in the public right of way. I agree with Kevin Dahl when he says we tried to do too much with what went into 412.
The mayor and council put into effect a Special Exception process for TEP to use when they want to go above ground on one of our scenic or gateway corridors. That is a very public process which remains in place, despite the 412 vote.
