How long has APS had a franchise with the Town of Parker?

0

APS has had a franchise in Parker for 50 years. Does the franchise involve a payment to the cities? Yes. As it has for the last 75 years, APS pays the cities 2% of its retail revenues within the city limits. This amounts to approximately $15 million a year in Phoenix and $70 thousand per year in Parker. The cities may use these funds to provide services to its residents. How is my APS bill affected by the franchise? The franchise fee is a cost of doing business that is ultimately paid by APS customers that live within the franchise city limits. Approval of the franchises will maintain the current 2% franchise fee paid to all our franchise cities. Why should I vote yes to renew the franchise between APS and the City of Phoenix or the Town of Parker? The franchise is important to these cities so they can effectively and economically plan and build the streets and public facilities in cooperation with APS to serve their citizens. It also provides an important revenue source to the cities.
