RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council accept renewal notice and acknowledge the 15 -year extension of the
Valencia Water company franchise.
17[N;�eI:�LiI�1►!i]
On February 26, 1991, the City Council passed an Ordinance, granting the Valencia
Water Company a franchise for a 10 -year period. The franchise allows the Valencia
Water Company to maintain and operate their pipeline and equipment in the public
right-of-way, including streets, roads, and highways.
Under the agreement, the Valencia Water Company has the right to renew its
franchise with the City for an additional 15 -year period, by providing written notice.
On March 15, 2001, the City received a letter from the President of the Valencia
Water Company, requesting an additional 15 -year period, as allowed in the
franchise agreement. City staff has the authority to extend the agreement
administratively at the end of the original franchise period.
Based on past operations and requirements, City staff and the City Attorney's office
do not see any reason why the franchise should not be extended. The Valencia
Water Company has met all the requirements as stated in the franchise agreement.
Therefore, staff is proceeding with the renewal process to extend the Valencia Water
Company's Franchise Agreement for an additional one-time 15 -year period. Staff is
providing the Council with this report for information purposes only.
FISCAL IMPACT
Last year, the City received $87,500 in franchise fees from the Valencia Water
Company.
