Baytown Utilities Debate Over United Gas Franchise
At a Baytown council meeting the utility committee faced a 2-2 deadlock over United Gas seeking a franchise for an area already served by Houston Natural Gas. Massey questioned contributions to the city and the value of a franchise in the 3,727-home area. Stasney noted the limited franchise covers land south of Highway 146 and nearby roads, and he compared a proposed 3 percent gross receipts offer to Houston Natural’s 2 percent as a competitive edge.
