Bill > SB1452

This bill grants the City of Loudon expanded municipal powers related to public utilities and infrastructure, specifically allowing the city to establish regulations for constructing, maintaining, and operating public utilities, and to assess fees for their use or impact. The bill adds two new subdivisions to the city's existing charter that provide authority to prescribe regulations for public utility services and infrastructure, including the ability to establish, improve, and maintain public spaces like highways, streets, parks, sewers, and other facilities both within and outside the city's corporate limits. Importantly, the bill requires approval by a two-thirds vote of the City of Loudon's legislative body to take effect, and it protects existing exclusive franchises or contracts. The legislation aims to give the city more flexibility in managing and developing its public infrastructure and services, while ensuring that any changes are approved by local elected officials.
