Item 10 Passedunofficial
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This is the third and final reading of an ordinance renewing the natural gas franchise deal between the city and Texas Gas Service Company, a division of ONE Gas, Inc. The agreement lets the company use Austin's public rights-of-way and easements to run its gas distribution lines for the next ten years, and it repeals the older 2006 ordinance that governed the arrangement. The franchise is expected to bring in an estimated $10,832,000 in revenue for the city.
