Lawrence leaders will soon consider increasing some of the fees the city charges a natural gas provider to use city property, potentially affecting the rates the company charges its Lawrence customers. As part of its meeting Tuesday, the Lawrence City Commission will consider adopting fee changes in the city’s franchise agreement with Black Hills Energy. Under its current agreement with the city, Black Hills does not pay permit fees to use the city’s right of way, and the city is recommending it begin paying such fees so as to be in line with other such agreements the city has, among other changes, according to a city staff memo to the commission.
