8. Definitions and Assignment – Section 19

City Council · 2026-04-20 · agenda_item

The City of Jacksonville Beach is reviewing a proposed Franchise Agreement that updates definitions and assignment rules. This agreement aims to support infrastructure improvements, especially undergrounding initiatives, and clarify responsibilities between parties. Neptune Beach has already conducted its first reading of an approving ordinance and discussed revisions regarding streetlight facilities. The agreement preserves the existing financial framework but notes that Neptune Beach will cover costs for aesthetic undergrounding projects. This item is currently under review by the City Council. The project involves updating legal agreements and potentially future infrastructure work related to undergrounding utilities. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers should engage early to understand potential future needs for site preparation, utility work, and construction related to undergrounding initiatives as plans develop.
