ORDINANCE NO. 1066-26 1

Whereas, the parties acknowledge that, within the geographic boundaries of the City,
certain streets, highways, and rights-of-way are under the exclusive jurisdiction,
supervision, and control of the Ada County Highway District (ACHD) pursuant to Idaho
law, including Idaho Code § 40-1310 and related authority, and that the Idaho
Transportation Department (ITD) also has jurisdiction over certain rights-of-way within the
City; and whereas, the parties intend that this Agreement be interpreted and administered
in a manner that recognizes and does not conflict with ACHD's and ITD's respective
jurisdictional authority over their rights-of-way. 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

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

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

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

condition for a period of five 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.

other party no less than 180 calendar days prior to the end of the primary term or the then
current successive term. The Grantee shall provide City written notice of automatic

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

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

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 Meridian, 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 from the applicable permitting agency 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 chargeable by the City 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 twenty (20) 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.

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. Franchise fees shall be collected by Grantee from customers within the
City, by assessing the franchise fee percentage on the amounts billed to customers for the sale,
transmission and/or distribution of natural gas within the city.
Such payments shall be made on a quarterly basis and shall be in lieu of any and all other fees,

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.

execution, claim or demand whatsoever, resulting from negligence on the part of the Grantee in

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

places without a permit if an emergency exists requiring the immediate repair of facilities. The

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

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.
