The Program:

On Wed, July 28th at 7pm, Randy Knight, City Manager of Winter Park, FL, will be discussing the process, opportunities and challenges that a community faces when they decide to municipalize their energy. 

With Boulder's 20-year Franchise Agreement with Xcel Energy expiring this year and the August 3rd vote by Boulder City Council on how to move forward  (the process of municipalization being one of the options considered), Randy Knight's presentation will be particularly timely and informational.
