AIRWAY HEIGHTS — The city is in the process of finalizing two franchise agreements with Avista, an electric and natural gas energy company. The agreements would replace the city’s existing gas and electric franchise agreements.

These franchise agreements grant Avista Corporation the rights to locate, construct, install, own, maintain, repair, reconstruct, operate and use facilities within the franchise area in order to get gas and electricity to where it is needed in the city.

The city has been working on the new agreements since 2020, having gone through multiple drafts and extensive legal review. The second reading was held at the July 5 City Council meeting. The agreements last for terms of 25 years.
