City staff presented proposed revisions to Chapter 10 (natural gas ordinance) and the committee voted to table further action to the next meeting to allow members to review the written redline.
Mr. Holden briefed the committee that the draft separates installation-by‑developer service‑lines from main‑extension requirements and that the redline had been sent to Florida Gas Utilities for comment. He noted a provision addressing allocation of buyout fees (mirroring language used in the water ordinance): "25% would go to operating... and 75% would go to reserve" for future system expansion and maintenance.
Members reported multiple draft versions were circulating and asked for a single, readable redline. Mr. Crick said he wanted to "see the language on it because I need to understand" the detail before approving anything. The committee agreed to table the item and requested staff return with a consolidated redline at the next meeting.
Next steps: staff will circulate a single redline PDF and return Chapter 10 for committee review.
