  • 1. a.  A city that owns or operates a municipal utility providing local exchange services pursuant to chapter 476 or the municipal utility shall not do, directly or indirectly, any of the following:

    (1)  Use general fund moneys for the ongoing support or subsidy of a telecommunications system.

    (2)  Provide any city facilities, equipment, or services to provide telecommunications systems or services at a cost for such facilities, equipment, or services which is less than the reasonable cost of providing such city facilities, equipment, or services.

    (3)  Provide any other city service, other than a communications service, to a telecommunications customer at a cost which is less than would be paid by the same person receiving such other city service if the person was not a telecommunications customer.

    (4)  Use funds or revenue generated from electric, gas, water, sewage, or garbage services provided by the city for the ongoing support of that portion of a system or service used to provide local exchange services.

  • Sec. 388.2: Submission to voters.
  • The proposal of a city to establish, acquire, lease, or dispose of a city utility, except a sanitary sewage or storm water drainage system, in order to undertake or to discontinue the operation of the city utility, or the proposal to establish or dissolve a combined utility system, or the proposal to establish or discontinue a utility board, is subject to the approval of the voters of the city, except that a board may be discontinued by resolution of the council when the city utility, city utilities, or combined utility system it administers is disposed of or leased for a period of over five years.

    The proposal may be submitted to the voters at any city election by the council on its own motion. Upon receipt of a valid petition as defined in section 362.4, requesting that a proposal be submitted to the voters, the council shall submit the proposal at the next regular city election.

    A proposal for the establishment of a utility board must specify a board of either three or five members.

    If a majority of those voting for and against the proposal approves the proposal, the city may proceed as proposed.

    If a majority of those voting for and against the proposal does not approve the proposal, the same or a similar proposal may not be submitted to the voters of the city for at least four years from the date of the election at which the proposal was defeated.

  • Under Iowa statutes (Title IX, Subtitle 4, Chapter § 388.2, code 2005) a municipal utility, whether providing Internet services, gas, water, or electricity, can be formed only by vote of the local community. - Opportunity Iowa: The Vote is In BroadbandProperties (Dec 2005)
