9.1 Resolution 2021-10 In support of Double Pole Legislation
Mr. Bolduc, City Manager asked the City Clerk to read Resolution 2021-10 by title.
Ms. Roy, City Clerk stated, "Resolution 2021-10 reads by title,
RESOLUTION: 2021-10
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CRESTVIEW, FLORIDA, SUPPORTING
FLORIDA SENATE BILL 1944 AND FLORIDA HOUSE BILL 1567, AND PROVIDING
FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
This is Resolution 2021-10."
Mr. Bolduc, City Manager stated utility poles are owned and maintained by a variety of
companies, including FPL and AT&T. While the use of poles is shared by many companies, only
one company owns and maintains each utility pole in Florida. Electric utilities like FPL are
mandated by the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC) under state law to ensure the
strength and resiliency of the poles it owns and maintains; however, telephone providers like
AT&T are not subject to FPSC oversight. While FPL continues to make the energy grid stronger,
customers may see old poles next to the new ones because many of the poles hold wires and other
equipment for other utilities, including telephone, telecommunications and cable TV services.
Before FPL can remove the old poles, they must wait for the other utilities to transfer their
equipment to the new pole. This causes double Page 133 of 155 pole situations, which, while
unsightly, often do not affect the reliable service provided to FPL customers. There is currently
legislation in the Florida House and Senate to provide legislation to eliminate this double pole
situation.
This is a resolution of support.
A brief discussion ensued.
Mayor Whitten asked for action by Council.
