Section 1: Grant of Authority.
There is hereby granted to Intermountain Gas Company, a corporation, its successors and assigns
(hereinafter collectively referred to as "Grantee")a 10 year extension to the right and authority to
construct, install, maintain and operate a gas transmission and distribution system, including
mains, pipes, conduits, services and other necessary structures and appliances appertaining in,
under,upon,over, across and along the streets, alleys,bridges and public places within the present
and future corporate limits of the City of Bancroft,Idaho (hereinafter referred to as "City")for the
furnishing, transmission, distribution and sale of gas, whether artificial, natural, mixed or
otherwise, for heating, domestic, industrial and other purposes and for transmitting gas into,
through and beyond said City.The City represents that it has the sole power and authority to make
this grant of authority and agrees to notify Grantee in writing if the City should cease to have this
power.
Section 2: Use of Streets and Rules Governing the Same.
Grantee shall secure a permit for any opening it shall make in the streets, alleys and public places
in the City and shall be subject to all applicable ordinances,but no fee shall be required of Grantee
for any such permit. Grantee may, however, open or disturb the streets, alleys, and public places
without a permit if an emergency exists requiring the immediate repair of facilities. The location
or relocation of all facilities shall be made under the supervision and with the approval of such
representatives as the governing body of the City may designate for such purpose, but not so as
unreasonably to interfere with the proper operating of Grantee's facilities and service. Whenever
the City shall pave or repave any street or shall change the grade or line of any street or public
place or shall construct or reconstruct any conduit, water main, sewer or water connection or other
city public works or city utility, it shall be the duty of the Grantee when so ordered by the City to
change its mains, services and other property in the streets or public places at its own expense so
as to conform to the established grade or line of such street or public place and so as not to interfere
with the conduits, sewers and other mains of the City as constructed or reconstructed; however,
the Grantee shall not be required to relocate pipes, mains and appurtenances when the street,alley
or public ground in which they are located is vacated for the convenience of abutting property
owners and not as an incident to the public improvement, unless the reasonable cost of such
relocation and the loss and expenses resulting therefrom is first paid to Grantee. The City will
avoid the need for such moving or changing whenever possible.In the event Federal, State or other
funds are available in whole or in part for utility relocating purposes,the City shall apply for such
funds and the Grantee will be reimbursed to the extent any such funds are actually obtained.
Section 3: Grantee Subject to All Powers of City Rules Governing Repair and Reconstruction of
Streets.
The exercise of privileges herein granted shall be subject at all times to all of the powers of the
City and all regulatory ordinances adopted pursuant thereto. The Grantee shall not unnecessarily

or unreasonably obstruct the use of or damage any street or alley and shall within a reasonable
time and as early as practicable upon completion of any construction or repair work, restore all
City streets and alleys to the same order and condition as they were before the excavation was
made insofar as reasonably possible.The Grantee shall maintain,repair and keep in good condition
for a period of one year all portions of streets and alleys disturbed by it or its agents. The Grantee
shall be responsible for any obstruction in any street,alley or other public place caused by it in the
operation and maintenance of its properties occurring at any time and shall promptly remove such
obstruction.Any such obstruction which,after proper notice to Grantee demanding removal is not
promptly removed by the Grantee may be taken care of by the City and the costs thereof shall be
charged against Grantee. For purposes of this Section, Grantee's above-ground facilities or
temporary construction materials and equipment shall not be considered an"obstruction".
Section 4: Term of Franchise and Grant.
Such right and authority, permission and power is hereby granted for a term of 10 years from and
after the date of the final acceptance of this Ordinance by the Company, herein referred to as the
primary term. This franchise will automatically renew for successive periods of ten (10) years
unless cancelled at the end of a term by either party by written notice to the other party no less
than 180 calendar days prior to the end of the primary term or the then current successive term.
Section 5: City Right to Inspection of Grantee's Plans,Accounts and Books—Grantee to Furnish
Certain Maps.
Upon reasonable advance notice, the City shall have access to Grantee's records to the extent
necessary to verify the accuracy of the Franchise fee payments required herein during the normal
business hours of Grantee. The Grantee shall furnish, upon request, the City with a complete set
of maps, including plans and profile of the distribution system of the Grantee and any future
extensions.The City shall make every reasonable effort to maintain the confidentiality of any trade
secrets or other proprietary information(such as proprietary maps and other mapping information)
provided pursuant to this Section, including execution of a data sharing agreement with Grantee.
Any map supplied shall not be used for locating gas facilities with the intent of excavating. Prior
to excavating, the City shall request line locates per the requirements of Idaho Statutes Title 55
Chapter 22 Underground Facilities Damage Prevention.
Section 6: Payment To City And Filing Of Annual Written Report With The City
As consideration for this franchise and grant said Grantee, its successors and assigns, during the
franchise period, shall pay to the City three percent (3%) of the gross receipts received from all
sales of gas by Grantee within the corporate limits of the City through use,operation or possession
of this franchise and grant.

Such payments shall be made on a quarterly basis and shall be in lieu of any and all other fees,
charges, licenses or taxes (other than ad valorem taxes)related to easements,franchises, rights-of
way, utility lines and equipment installation, maintenance and removal during the term of the
public service providers' franchise with the City which the City may impose for the rights and
privileges herein granted or for the privilege of doing business within the City.
The Grantee shall file 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter with the City a report for the
preceding calendar quarter, which report shall contain a statement of all the gross receipts arising
from all sales of gas by said Grantee within the City for the calendar quarter preceding such report,
and at the same time the Grantee shall pay to the City the stipulated percentage of the gross
quarterly receipts due for the calendar quarter which said report is made and filed.
Section 7: Grantee Liability -Indemnification
It is expressly understood and agreed by and between the Grantee and the City that the Grantee
shall save the City harmless from all loss sustained by the City on account of any suit,judgment,
execution, claim or demand whatsoever, resulting from negligence on the part of the Grantee in
the construction, operation or maintenance of its gas system in the City. The City shall notify the
grantee's representative in the City within ten (10) days after the presentation of any claim or
demand, either by suit or otherwise, made against the City on account of any negligence as
aforesaid on the part of the Grantee.Nothing herein shall require Grantee to save and hold the City
harmless to the extent any loss sustained by the City is caused by the acts,omissions,or negligence
of the City its agents, representatives, contractors, officers, directors, employees, or other parties
subject to its direction or control.
Section 8: Insurance
Upon acceptance of this franchise by Grantee and before Grantee shall have any rights hereunder,
Grantee shall file with the City Clerk a certificate evidencing the insurance of the Grantee against
property damage in an amount not less than $500,000.00 and bodily injury with limits of not less
than$500,000.00 per person and $1,000,000.00 total for each occurrence. Provided,however,the
minimum limits of insurance as set forth herein shall be automatically increased at any time the
liability limits of the City are increased pursuant to the Idaho Tort Claims Act(Idaho Code Section
6-901 et. seq.) or any similar legislation.
Section 9: Safety Regulation Compliance
Grantee shall comply with and conform to all safety regulations promulgated by the United States,
State of Idaho, or any regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof.
Section 10:Agreement Not to Compete—Reserve to City Power of Eminent Domain

In consideration of Grantee's undertaking hereunder as evidenced by its acceptance hereof the City
agrees not to engage in the business of distributing and selling gas during the life of this franchise
or any extension thereof in competition with the Grantee, its successor and assigns; but nothing
herein contained shall be construed or deemed to prevent the City from exercising at any time any
power of eminent domain granted to it under the laws of the State of Idaho.
Section 11: Surrender of Franchise
In the event natural gas at any time shall cease to be available to Grantee for the distribution and
sale hereunder, Grantee reserves the right to surrender this franchise and in the event of such
surrender prior to any expiration or termination of this franchise,or in any of such events,Grantee
reserves the right to salvage all of its plant, works and facilities, and will restore City's streets and
alleys damaged by such salvage operation.

attested by its corporate seal.
Section 13: Publication Costs

by law.
Section 14: Forfeiture
Any material violation by the Grantee, its vendee, lessee or successors of the provisions of this

parties may agree. This provision shall not prevent the Grantee from submitting such question of
forfeiture to proper court determination.
Section 15: Separability

invalid, the same shall not affect the validity of any other part or parts hereof which can be given

Section 1: Grant of Authority.
There is hereby granted to Intermountain Gas Company, a corporation, its successors and assigns
(hereinafter collectively referred to as "Grantee") a twenty (20) year extension to the right and
authority to construct, install, maintain and operate a gas transmission and distribution system,
including mains, pipes, conduits, services and other necessary structures and appliances
appertaining in, under, upon, over, across and along the streets, alleys, bridges and public places
within the present and future corporate limits of the City of Hansen, Idaho (hereinafter referred to
as "City") for the furnishing, transmission, distribution and sale of gas, whether artificial, natural,
mixed or otherwise, for heating, domestic, industrial and other purposes and for transmitting gas
into,through and beyond said City. The City represents that it has the sole power and authority to
make this grant of authority and agrees to notify Grantee in writing if the City should cease to have
this power.
Section 2: Use of Streets and Rules Governing the Same.
Grantee shall secure a permit for any opening it shall make in the streets,alleys and public places
in the City and shall be subject to all applicable ordinances,but no fee shall be required of Grantee
for any such permit. Grantee may, however, open or disturb the streets,alleys, and public places
without a permit if an emergency exists requiring the immediate repair of facilities. The location
or relocation of all facilities shall be made under the supervision and with the approval of such
representatives as the governing body of the City may designate for such purpose, but not so as
unreasonably to interfere with the proper operating of Grantee's facilities and service. Whenever
the City shall pave or repave any street or shall change the grade or line of any street or public
place or shall construct or reconstruct any conduit, water main, sewer or water connection or other
city public works or city utility, it shall be the duty of the Grantee when so ordered by the City to
change its mains, services and other property in the streets or public places at its own expense so
as to conform to the established grade or line of such street or public place and so as not to interfere
with the conduits, sewers and other mains of the City as constructed or reconstructed; however,
the Grantee shall not be required to relocate pipes, mains and appurtenances when the street,alley
or public ground in which they are located is vacated for the convenience of abutting property

the Grantee shall not be required to relocate pipes, mains and appurtenances when the street, alley

funds are available in whole or in part for utility relocating purposes,the City shall apply for such
funds and the Grantee will be reimbursed to the extent any such funds are actually obtained.
Section 3: Grantee Subject to All Powers of City Rules Governing Repair and Reconstruction of

and public places without a permit if an emergency exists requiring the immediate repair of facilities.The location
or relocation of all facilities shall be made under the supervision and with the approval of such representatives as
the governing body of the City may designate for such purpose, but not so as unreasonably to interfere with the

available in whole or in part for utility relocating purposes,the City shall apply for such funds and the Grantee will
be reimbursed to the extent any such funds are actually obtained. Whenever the City grants a permit for an

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF PAUL, IDAHO;

Section 1: Grant of Authority.
There is hereby granted to Intermountain Gas Company, a corporation, its successors and assigns
(hereinafter collectively referred to as "Grantee") a twenty (20) year extension to the right and
authority to construct, install, maintain and operate a gas transmission and distribution system,
including mains, pipes, conduits, services and other necessary structures and appliances
appertaining in, under, upon, over, across and along the streets, alleys, bridges and public places
within the present and future corporate limits of the City of Paul, Idaho (hereinafter referred to as
"City") for the furnishing, transmission, distribution and sale of gas, whether artificial, natural,
mixed or otherwise, for heating, domestic, industrial and other purposes and for transmitting gas
into, through and beyond said City. The City represents that it has the sole power and authority to
make this grant of authority and agrees to notify Grantee in writing if the City should cease to have
this power.
Section 2: Use of Streets and Rules Governing the Same.
Grantee shall secure a permit for any opening it shall make in the streets, alleys and public places
in the City and shall be subject to all applicable ordinances,but no fee shall be required of Grantee
for any such permit. Grantee may, however, open or disturb the streets, alleys, and public places
without a permit if an emergency exists requiring the immediate repair of facilities. The location
or relocation of all facilities shall be made under the supervision and with the approval of such
representatives as the governing body of the City may designate for such purpose, but not so as
unreasonably to interfere with the proper operating of Grantee's facilities and service. Whenever
the City shall pave or repave any street or shall change the grade or line of any street or public
place or shall construct or reconstruct any conduit,water main, sewer or water connection or other
city public works or city utility, it shall be the duty of the Grantee when so ordered by the City to
change its mains, services and other property in the streets or public places at its own expense so
as to conform to the established grade or line of such street or public place and so as not to interfere
with the conduits, sewers and other mains of the City as constructed or reconstructed; however,
the Grantee shall not be required to relocate pipes, mains and appurtenances when the street, alley
or public ground in which they are located is vacated for the convenience of abutting property
owners and not as an incident to the public improvement, unless the reasonable cost of such
relocation and the loss and expenses resulting therefrom is first paid to Grantee. The City will
avoid the need for such moving or changing whenever possible. In the event Federal, State or other

Section 1: Grant of Authority.
There is hereby granted to Intermountain Gas Company, a corporation,its successors and assigns
(hereinafter collectively referred to as "Grantee") a ten year extension to the right and authority to
construct, install, maintain and operate a gas transmission and distribution system, including
mains, pipes, conduits, services and other necessary structures and appliances appertaining in,
under,upon,over, across and along the streets,alleys,bridges and public places within the present
and future corporate limits of the City of Soda Springs, Idaho (hereinafter referred to as "City")
for the furnishing, transmission, distribution and sale of gas, whether artificial, natural, mixed or
otherwise, for heating, domestic, industrial and other purposes and for transmitting gas into,
through and beyond said City.The City represents that it has the sole power and authority to make
this grant of authority and agrees to notify Grantee in writing if the City should cease to have this
power.
Section 2: Use of Streets and Rules Governing the Same.
Grantee shall secure a permit for any opening it shall make in the streets, alleys and public places
in the City and shall be subject to all applicable ordinances,but no fee shall be required of Grantee
for any such permit. Grantee may, however, open or disturb the streets, alleys, and public places
without a permit if an emergency exists requiring the immediate repair of facilities.The location
or relocation of all facilities shall be made under the supervision and with the approval of such
representatives as the governing body of the City may designate for such purpose, but not so as
unreasonably to interfere with the proper operating of Grantee's facilities and service. Whenever
the City shall pave or repave any street or shall change the grade or line of any street or public
place or shall construct or reconstruct any conduit,water main, sewer or water connection or other
city public works or city utility, it shall be the duty of the Grantee when so ordered by the City to
change its mains, services and other property in the streets or public places at its own expense so
as to conform to the established grade or line of such street or public place and so as not to interfere
with the conduits, sewers and other mains of the City as constructed or reconstructed; however,
the Grantee shall not be required to relocate pipes,mains and appurtenances when the street, alley
or public ground in which they are located is vacated for the convenience of abutting property
owners and not as an incident to the public improvement, unless the reasonable cost of such
relocation and the loss and expenses resulting therefrom is first paid to Grantee. The City will
avoid the need for such moving or changing whenever possible.In the event Federal, State or other
funds are available in whole or in part for utility relocating purposes, the City shall, at the City's
discretion, apply for such funds if the application process is not too onerous on the City, and the
Grantee will be reimbursed to the extent any such funds are actually obtained.
Section 3: Grantee Subject to All Powers of City Rules Governing Repair and Reconstruction of
Streets.

The exercise of privileges herein granted shall be subject at all times to all of the powers of the
City and all regulatory ordinances adopted pursuant thereto. The Grantee shall not unnecessarily
or unreasonably obstruct the use of or damage any street or alley and shall within a reasonable
time and as early as practicable upon completion of any construction or repair work, restore all
City streets and alleys to the same order and condition as they were before the excavation was
made insofar as reasonably possible.The Grantee shall maintain,repair and keep in good condition
for a period of three years all portions of streets and alleys disturbed by it or its agents.The Grantee
shall be responsible for any obstruction in any street,alley or other public place caused by it in the
operation and maintenance of its properties occurring at any time and shall promptly remove such
obstruction.Any such obstruction which, after proper notice to Grantee demanding removal is not
promptly removed by the Grantee may be taken care of by the City and the costs thereof shall be
charged against Grantee. For purposes of this Section, Grantee's above-ground facilities or
temporary construction materials and equipment shall not be considered an"obstruction".
Section 4: Term of Franchise and Grant.
Such right and authority,permission and power is hereby granted for a term of tenyears from and
after the date of the final acceptance of this Ordinance by the Company,herein referred to as the
primary term. This franchise will automatically renew for successive periods of ten (10) years
unless cancelled at the end of a term by either party by written notice to the other party no less
than 180 calendar days prior to the end of the primary term or the then current successive term.

necessary to verify the accuracy of the Franchise fee payments required herein during the normal
business hours of Grantee. The Grantee shall furnish, upon request, the City with a complete set
of maps, including plans and profile of the distribution system of the Grantee and any future
extensions.The City shall make every reasonable effort to maintain the confidentiality of any trade
secrets or other proprietary information(such as proprietary maps and other mapping information)
provided pursuant to this Section, including execution of a data sharing agreement with Grantee,
subject to state public records law.Any map supplied shall not be used for locating gas facilities
with the intent of excavating. Prior to excavating, the City shall request line locates per the
requirements of Idaho Statutes Title 55 Chapter 22 Underground Facilities Damage Prevention.
Section 6: Payment To City And Filing Of Annual Written Report With The City
As consideration for this franchise and grant said Grantee, its successors and assigns, during the
franchise period, shall pay to the City three percent (3%) of the gross receipts received from all

sales of gas by Grantee within the corporate limits of the City through use,operation or possession
of this franchise and grant.
Such payments shall be made on a quarterly basis and shall be in lieu of any and all other fees,
charges, licenses or taxes (other than ad valorem taxes)related to easements, franchises, rights-of
way, utility lines and equipment installation, maintenance and removal during the term of the
public service providers' franchise with the City which the City may impose for the rights and
privileges herein granted or for the privilege of doing business within the City.
The Grantee shall file 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter with the City a report for the
preceding calendar quarter, which report shall contain a statement of all the gross receipts arising
from all sales of gas by said Grantee within the City for the calendar quarter preceding such report,

quarterly receipts due for the calendar quarter which said report is made and filed.

shall save the City harmless from all loss sustained by the City on account of any suit,judgment,
execution, claim or demand whatsoever, resulting from negligence on the part of the Grantee in
the construction, operation or maintenance of its gas system in the City. The City shall notify the
grantee's representative in the City within ten (10) days after the presentation of any claim or
demand, either by suit or otherwise, made against the City on account of any negligence as
aforesaid on the part of the Grantee.Nothing herein shall require Grantee to save and hold the City
harmless to the extent any loss sustained by the City is caused by the acts,omissions,or negligence
of the City its agents, representatives, contractors, officers, directors, employees, or other parties
subject to its direction or control.
Section 8: Insurance
Upon acceptance of this franchise by Grantee and before Grantee shall have any rights hereunder,

property damage in an amount not less than $5,000,000.00 for each occurrence. Provided,
however, the minimum limits of insurance as set forth herein shall be automatically increased at
any time the liability limits of the City are increased pursuant to the Idaho Tort Claims Act(Idaho
Code Section 6-901 et. seq.) or any similar legislation. The City shall be named as an additional
insured on any insurance policy required of the Grantee.
Section 9: Safety Regulation Compliance

agrees not to engage in the business of distributing and selling gas during the life of this franchise

by law.
Section 15: Forfeiture

parties may agree. This provision shall not prevent the Grantee from submitting such question of
forfeiture to proper court determination.
