Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Utilities to enter into a general reimbursement agreement with Franklin County in the amount of $150,000 to reimburse the County for various design and construction costs associated with the Department's infrastructure.
Franklin County periodically sends the Department preliminary plans of County projects where City infrastructure exists in the County right-of-way.
