At its Sept. 2 meeting, the Tomball City Council voted 4-1 to enter a 30-year franchise agreement with CenterPoint Energy to provide electricity to city properties and rights-of-way.
Councilman Bill Webb was the only dissenting vote, stating at the council’s Aug. 18 meeting that he finds the ordinance very broad.
According to city documents, this is the same agreement other cities in the Houston area are adopting.
