Prepared by Kirk Lehmann, Assistant City Manager, 410 E. Washington St., Iowa City, IA (319)356-5014
Resolution No.
An ordinance amending Title 12, Chapter 5, Franchise Fees to
repeal the one percent (1%) franchise fee and enact a two
percent (2%) franchise fee on the gross revenue derived from
the distribution, delivery, and retail sale of electricity and natural
gas by franchisees including MidAmerican Energy Company, or
other natural gas providers utilizing the distribution system of
MidAmerican, to customers within the current or future corporate
limits of the City of Iowa City, and to describe the purpose for the
revenue collected.
Whereas, Iowa City has current gas and electric franchises with MidAmerican Energy
Company that reserve to the City the right to impose a franchise fee on the franchisee's
gross revenue from the sale of electricity and natural gas; and
Whereas, Iowa Code section 364.2(4xf)(2) requires the City, prior to adopting a
franchise fee rate ordinance, to prepare and publish a Revenue Purpose Statement
specifying the purpose or purposes for which the revenue collected from the franchise
fee will be expended; and
Whereas, by Ordinance No. 09-4374 the City Council adopted a 2% franchise fee to be
effective April 1, 2010; and
Whereas, by Ordinance No. 10-4382 the City Council repealed the 2% franchise fee and
imposed a 1% franchise fee to be effective June 1, 2010; and _
Whereas, the City's current Revenue Purpose Statement for the franchise fees i340
utilize funds for inspecting, supervising, and otherwise regulating the MidAmerican
Energy Company's gas and electric franchises, for public safety including the egwpping
of fire, police and emergency services, and for public infrastructure to support
commercial and industrial economic development; and
Whereas, the City Council's Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2023-2028 updated
December 2024 proposes considering alternative revenue sources including franchise
fees to help achieve strategic plan goals; and
Whereas, the Strategic Plan includes a strategy to enhance mobility by expanding the
access and convenience of environmentally friendly and regionally connected public
transit; and
Whereas, increasing the franchise fee from 1% to 2% would allow the City to support
mobility initiatives including but not limited to its fare -free Transit program; and
Whereas, expanding the scope of the City's Revenue Purpose Statement to align with
State Code allows the City to continue meeting City Council's strategic priorities while
providing enhanced flexibility to do so; and
Whereas, the City's franchise agreement with MidAmerican Energy requires 90 days'
notice of any franchise fee put into effect by the City; and
Whereas, the Revenue Purpose Statement and notice of public hearing on this
ordinance was published on June ###, 2025; and
Whereas, it is in the best interest of the City of Iowa City to repeal said 1 % franchise fee
and adopt, in lieu thereof, a 2% franchise fee effective November 15, 2025.
