Yesterday I was able to get additional information from City Clerk Patricia Jackson and Vice Mayor/Acting City Manager Trudy Block concerning the status of this contract with Lakeland Electric. Both of them concluded that the 2010 expiration date noted in the 2009-2010 Budget Document must be a type-o since the City Ordinance pertaining to the Franchise Agreement with Lakeland Electric indicated that it was last renewed on April 2nd, 1991 for a 20 year contract. This would make the expiration date of this contract in April of 2011. I hope this is correct.
Ms. Jackson sent me a scanned file of the ordinance which can be viewed here: Lakeland Electric Franchise Agreement Ordinance
I have no faith in anything that the polk city dog and pony show say. We all need to contact lakeland electric and request the information when the Franchise agreement expires. Typical polk city , a typo. Can this group ever get anything right???? Fed UP
