FELPS governance fight drags on in Texas cities dispute
A four hour meeting in San Antonio on December 4 kept Floresville Stockdale and Path locked in a two year legal battle over FELPS ownership and board composition. The dispute centers on control of the Floresville Electric Light & Power System after a 1940s agreement and a 1995 memorandum of understanding. Floresville seeks to alter board makeup to include an at large member, while Stockdale accuses Floresville of aiming for total control. The parties have yet to resolve ownership and governance terms.
