In light of this, it is worthwhile to formally recognize the Broughton Act and the Franchise Act as the basis for the City=s franchising and to ensure that all applicable utility franchise, business license and user taxes are being properly levied, collected and remitted, as well as to provide for franchising new types of utilities that may come.
