Summary:

Indian River County

The Indian River County Commission challenges rulings by the Public Service Commission, the state board chaired by Mr. Graham that regulates utilities. In one
order, the PSC granted a petition by the City of Vero Beach concerning its provision of electric service to areas of the county outside the city. A franchise agreement between the city and county related to this electric service is due to expire in 2017. The PSC ruling provides that the city has the right and obligation under territorial orders issued by the PSC to continue to provide service upon expiration of the franchise agreement. In the other order, the PSC declined to answer the county’s legal questions related to the situation.
