The City of Waukee is proposing a 2% franchise fee on natural gas and electric bills shortly after selling our utilities to MidAmerican Energy with the promise of lowering costs for residents. Adding this new fee functions as an unnecessary tax at a time when families are already facing rising living expenses.

Residents deserve transparency, community involvement, and responsible budgeting that does not increase the cost of essential services. The City should explore alternative funding options and give the public a meaningful voice in this decision.

Sign this petition to protect Waukee families from added utility costs and urge the Council to reject the proposed 2% franchise fee!
