A RESOLUTION OF INTENT TO ADOPT THE PROPOSED
ORDINANCE GRANTING A FRANCHISE AGREEMENT TO
PACIFIC PIPELINE SYSTEM LLC
Administrative Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council:
1. Adopt a resolution to declare the City's intent to adopt the proposed franchise agreement
with Pacific Pipeline System LLC.
2. Introduce and pass to second reading and public hearing on May 14, 2013, an ordinance
entitled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA
CLARITA, CALIFORNIA, GRANTING A FRANCHISE TO CONSTRUCT AND USE AN
OIL PIPELINE TO PACIFIC PIPELINE SYSTEM LLC."
BACKGROUND
On May I, 1999, the City of Santa Clarita granted to Pacific Pipeline System LLC ("Pacific") a
franchise for the purpose of transporting oil and related products and substances by pipeline in
certain designated areas of the City (Ordinance No. 00-4). The previous franchise terminated on
May 1, 2009, and since that time, the City and Pacific have continued to abide by the terms and
conditions of Ordinance No. 00-4, including payment of all annual franchise fees through
December 31, 2012. Pacific has continued to operate the pipelines located in the City pursuant
to the franchise set forth in Ordinance No. 00-4.
Adopted: as
Pacific desires for the City to grant a new oil pipeline franchise to Pacific along similar terms and
conditions as in the original franchise. City staff and the City Attorney's office have negotiated
an agreement that allows Pacific to operate a pipeline and provides the necessary protections for
the City. The proposed agreement includes a term of 20 years with two, five-year extensions at
the discretion of the City. Pacific will be required to pay the City a $15,000 granting fee upon
execution of the franchise agreement and make annual payments based on a formula mandated in
the Public Utilities Code. Pacific will be responsible for making any repairs to City streets and
rights-of-way that may be necessary by operating their pipeline, and the City will have the right
to require Pacific to move or alter Pacific's facilities to the extent they endanger the public in any
way. Pacific will also be required to provide adequate insurance. The insurance provisions have
been reviewed and approved by the City's insurance broker, which includes $20 million per
occurrence in general liability coverage for their six miles of pipelines within the City
right-of-way, as this is the amount of insurance that Pacific currently carries. (As a comparison,
the franchise agreement approved in May 2012 with Crimson California Pipeline is required to
provide $10 million per occurrence in general liability coverage for their two miles of pipeline
within the City right-of-way.) This franchise agreement also prohibits Pacific from assigning the
franchise without the City's consent.
If the City decides not to grant the franchise to Pacific, Pacific would technically not be allowed
to use the pipeline, and the City could order Pacific to remove it from the ground. However,
given the public benefit of the pipeline and a lack of clarity in the law, it is unclear whether the
City could, absent a significant public interest, actually prevent Pacific from using the pipeline
and require them to remove it. In addition, Pacific is a public utility and does have the power of
eminent domain. Entering into a franchise agreement will provide more clarity and ultimately
more protection to the City, because it will clearly map out Pacific's obligations and
responsibilities, as well as the City's rights upon violation of the franchise. The proposed
ordinance contains clear procedures for the removal and/or abandonment of Pacific's facilities.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact upon the City through the recommended action. If the franchise
agreement is approved as an ordinance by the City Council, the City would receive a one-time
$15,000 granting fee and annual payment from Pacific based on a formula mandated in the
Public Utilities Code. The payment for 2012 was $11,867 with an annual CPI adjustment. There
would be no cost to the City.

For pipelines with an internal diameter not listed above, the Fee shall be in the same
proportion to the Fee of a 12 -inch -diameter pipe as the diameter of the unlisted pipe is to 12
inches.
Bl Computation of Payments. Such payments shall be computed from January 1,
2013, to and including the date of either actual removal of the facilities or the effective date of a
properly approved abandonment "in place" authorized by the City, and until the Grantee shall
have fully complied with all the provisions of this Franchise and of all other applicable
provisions of law or ordinance relative to such abandonments. All such payments shall be made
payable to the City, and shall be supported by the Grantee's verified statement concerning the
computation thereof hi the event of installation or abandonment of facilities with the approval
of the City as elsewhere in this Franchise provided, or in the event of removal of such facilities
by the Grantee, the payments otherwise due to the City or occupancy of the streets by such
facilities shall be prorated for the calendar year in which such installation, removal or
abandonment occurs as of the end of the calendar month in which installed, removed or
abandoned.
Provided, however, that the amount of each annual payment shall be computed and
revised each calendar year as follows:
(1) The applicable base rate shall be multiplied by the Consumer
Price Index (CPI -U), All Items for the Los Angeles -Riverside -Orange County areas, as published
by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics for the month of September
immediately preceding the month in which payment is due and payable, and divided by the
Consumer Price Index for June 30, 1989, which is declared to be 100.0. Under no circumstances
shall the multiplying factor be less than one.
4
(2) If the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics discontinues the preparation or publication of a Consumer Price Index for the area, and
if no translation table prepared by the Department of Labor is available so as to make those
statistics which are then available applicable to the index of June 30, 1989, the City shall
prescribe a rate of payment which shall, in its judgment, vary from the rates specified in this
Section in approximate proportion as commodity consumer prices then current vary from
commodity consumer prices current in December 1988. On this point, the determination by the
City shall be final and conclusive.
If said Bureau revises the said Index, the parties hereto shall accept the method of
revision or conversion recommended by the said Bureau.
C) Right of Inspection. The City shall have the right to inspect Grantee's pipeline
records relating to its annual report and to audit and recompute any and all amounts payable
under this Franchise. Costs of audit shall be borne by Grantee when audits result in an increase
of more than five percent of Grantee's annual payments due the City. Acceptance of any
payment shall not be construed as a release, waiver, acquiescence, or accord and satisfaction of
any claim the city may have for further or additional sums payable under this Ordinance or for
the performance of any other obligation hereunder.
D) Granting and Reimbursement Fee. In consideration for the granting of this
Franchise, and to reimburse the City for its administrative expenses in preparing and approving

any rearrangement of facilities that the Grantee is required to make herein. Such notice shall

to accomplish such work.
SECTION 11. REMOVAL OR ABANDONMENT OF FACILITIES. At the time of
expiration, revocation or termination of this Franchise or the permanent discontinuance of the use
of its facilities, or any portion thereof, the Grantee shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, make a
written application to the City Engineer to either: (1) abandon all, or a portion, of such facilities
in place, or (2) remove all, or a portion, of such facilities as the City Engineer, in his discretion,
shall consider to be appropriate. Such application shall describe the facilities desired to be
abandoned by reference to the map or maps required by Section 5 of this Ordinance and shall
also describe with reasonable accuracy the relative physical condition of such facilities.
Thereupon, the City Engineer shall determine whether any abandonment or removal which is
thereby proposed may be effected without detriment to the public interest or under what
conditions such proposed abandonment or removal may be safely effected and shall then notify
the Grantee, according to such requirements as shall be specified in the City Engineer's order,
and within ninety (90) days thereafter, to either:
(a) Remove all or a portion of such facilities, or
(b) Abandon in place all or a portion of such facilities.
If any facilities to be abandoned in place subject to prescribed conditions shall not be
abandoned in accordance with all such conditions, then the City Engineer may make additional
appropriate orders, including, if he deems desirable, an order that the Grantee shall remove all
such facilities in accordance with applicable requirements.
A request of the Grantee to abandon in place any facilities shall be deemed an offer of
transfer of such facilities to the City and by resolution authorizing Grantee to abandon any
facility in place, the City shall succeed to all right, title and interest of Grantee in said facilities.
- It-
If Grantee has made application for a new franchise agreement following expiration of
this Agreement as provided for in Section 2, Grantee shall not be required to apply for
abandonment or removal of its facilities.
Facilities which are idle or maintained in a condition defined as Out -of -Service by the
California State Fire Marshal, for any amount of time, do not constitute permanent
discontinuance of the use of such facilities or a revocation, termination or abandonment of the
Franchise.
SECTION 12. COMPLETION OF WORK. If Grantee fails to commence any work or
act and diligently proceed or complete any such act or work required of the Grantee by the terms
of this Franchise within the time limits required hereby, the City may cause such act or work to
be completed by the City or, at the election of the City, by a private contractor. The City agrees
that, to the extent reasonably possible, any work by the City or its private contractors shall be
performed in a manner that does not cause damage to Grantee's facilities or disruption to the
transportation of oil and other petroleum products through Grantee's pipeline system. In the
event the City causes such act or work to be completed by the City or a private contractor, the
City shall send an itemized bill to Grantee. Within thirty days (30) of receipt of the bill, Grantee
shall either pay the bill in writing plus an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) thereof for
overhead, or detail in writing to the City Manager why such bill is inappropriate. If Grantee
timely provides this statement to the City, the City Manager shall consider Grantee's statement,
and shall notify Grantee in writing of the City Managers determination. If Grantee determines
that the City Manager's determination was incorrect, Grantee may bring an action in court
challenging that decision. Regardless of Grantee's position on the accuracy of the City
Manager's decision, Grantee shall pay all amounts determined by City Manager within 10 days
of receipt of City Manager's determination.
For any removal, relocation or modification of Grantee's facilities by the City as provided
for herein, the City shall, to the extent required by law, only conduct such work with the prior
approval of, and in coordination with, the California State Fire Marshal and comply with Chapter
5.5 of Title 5, Division 1, Part 1, of the California Government Code (Elder California Pipeline
Safety Act of 1981) and all other local, State and Federal laws.
SECTION 13. RECOVERY OF COSTS OF REPAIRS AND UNPAID FEES. If the
Grantee has not paid the City for such fees and expenses incurred by or payable to the City as
hereinabove set forth, the City may take any and all reasonable enforcement actions, including,
but not limited to, ordering that the charge(s) be assessed against the property of the Grantee in
the City, that liens be imposed on said property, instituting collection proceedings, and instituting
franchise default proceedings.
SECTION 14. BOND. Grantee shall, within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date of
this Franchise, file with the City Clerk, and yearly thereafter, maintain in full force and effect, a
bond of the required amount for the benefit of the City, with a surety to be approved by the City
Finance Director. The bond shall be surety that the Grantee shall, will and truly observe, fulfill,
and perform each and every term and condition of this Franchise, and in case of a breach of
8 —/z—
condition of said Franchise, subject to the default language in Section 20, the whole amount of
the penal sum therein shall be paid to the City in addition to any damages recoverable by the City
and shall be recoverable from the principal and sureties of the bond. If said bond is not so filed,
Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the award of this Franchise will be set aside and any
money paid therefore will be forfeited.
For the first eight years from the Effective Date, the amount of the bond shall be
One -Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00). For each five year period thereafter, the amount
of the required bond shall increase by 20%, compounded at each five year interval.
Whenever a bond is taken and deemed to be liquidated damages for any breach of a term
or condition of this Franchise, the Grantee must immediately file another bond of like amount
and character, and if the Grantee fails to do so within the time set by the City Council, the
Council may, by resolution, declare said Franchise automatically forfeited.
Nothing herein shall insulate Grantee from liability in excess of the amount of said bond
or shall be construed as a waiver by the City of any remedy at law against the Grantee for any
breach of the terms and conditions of this Franchise, or for any damage, loss or injuries suffered
by the City in case of any damage, loss or injury suffered by any person, firm, or corporation by
reason of any work done or any activity conducted by the Grantee in the exercise of this
Franchise.

conducted pursuant to the Franchise, the Grantee's insurance coverage shall be primary

F. Acceptability of Insurers. Insurance is to be placed with insurers with a current A.M.

endorsements effecting coverage required by this clause within ten (10) days of Grantee's

requirements. The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required
insurance policies, including endorsements effecting the coverage required by these
specifications at any time.
SECTION 16. INDEMNIFICATION BY GRANTEE. For all claims relating to
activity taken during the times subject to this Ordinance, including any retroactivity dates, the

claims, actual damages (including but not limited to special and consequential damages),
penalties, attorneys' fees, consultant's and expert's fees and costs ("Liabilities") arising as a
result of the Grantee's exercise of the Franchise or operation of the pipeline system, regardless
whether any act or omission complained of is authorized, allowed, or prohibited by the
Franchise. This indemnity includes, but is not limited to any repair, cleanup or detoxification, or
preparation and implementation of any removal, remedial, response, closure or other, plan
(regardless of whether undertaken due to governmental action) concerning any facilities or
equipment or the effects of such facilities or equipment authorized by this franchise, and any
hazardous substance or hazardous wastes including petroleum and its fractions as defined in the

maintains a pipeline for the transportation of substances and liquids pursuant to this Franchise.
The foregoing indemnity is intended to (1) supplement and not replace any other indemnity from
any source, and (2) operate as an agreement pursuant to Section 107(e) of CERCLA and
California Health & Safety Code Section 25364, to assure, protect, hold harmless and indemnify
City from liability. Grantee shall not be liable to the City for any Liabilities resulting from or
arising out of acts, errors, or omissions, or caused by the negligence, or willful misconduct of the

City, its officers, employees, agents, assigns or successors.
SECTION 17. ASSIGNMENT.
A. The grantee shall not sell, transfer, assign or lease the franchise, or any part
thereof, except with the consent of the City Council. Such sale, transfer, assignment or lease shall
be made only by filing with the City Council a copy of the duly executed instrument of such sale,
transfer, assignment or lease, and a written request for the consent of the Council to such sale,
transfer, assignment or lease. If such duly executed instrument and such written request is not
filed with the City Council before the expiration of 30 days after the effective date of such sale,
transfer, assignment or lease then, upon the expiration of said 30 days, the franchise shall be
subject to forfeiture and the City Council may, without notice, by ordinance, repeal the franchise.
B. As a condition to the granting of consent to such sale, transfer, assignment or
lease, the Council may impose such additional terms and conditions upon the franchise and upon
the grantee or assignee which the City Council may deem to be in the public interest. The City
may also condition transfer upon payment of a transfer fee of $10,000 to be paid by the transferee
to the City. Such additional terms and conditions shall be expressed by ordinance.
C. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to grant to the grantee the right
to sell, transfer, assign or lease the franchise, or any part thereof except in the manner aforesaid.
This section applies to any assignment, whether by operation of law, by voluntary act of the
grantee or otherwise. No such consent shall be required to any transfer of the franchise in trust or
by way of mortgage or hypothecation with all or a part of grantee's other property for the purpose
of securing any indebtedness of grantee. A merger will not be deemed a sale, transfer, assignment
or lease of the franchise under this section.
D. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to Grantee's assignment of
rights, duties and obligations under the Franchise to any affiliate of Grantee. As used in this
Franchise, the term "affiliate" shall mean an entity controlling, controlled by or under common
control with the entity to which the term applies, whether by ownership, contract or voting
control. Franchisee and the entity to whom the rights are to be assigned shall sign an assignment
and assumption agreement whereby the transferee agrees to be bound by and comply with the
terns of this Franchise.
SECTION 18. RECEIVERSHIP AND FORECLOSURE.
A. Subject to applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Franchise shall, at
the option of the city, cease and terminate one hundred twenty (120) days after the appointment
of a receiver or trustee to take over and conduct the business of the Grantee whether in a
receivership, reorganization, bankruptcy or other action or proceeding unless such receivership or
trusteeship shall have been vacated prior to the expiration of said one hundred twenty (120) days,
or unless:
12 —//o--
(1) Such receiver or trustee shall have, within one hundred twenty (120) days
after his election or appointment, fully complied with all terms of the Franchise and remedied all
breaches of the Franchise or provided a plan for the remedy of such breaches which is
satisfactory to the City; and
(2) Such receiver or trustee shall, within said one hundred twenty (120) days,
execute an agreement duly approved by the court having jurisdiction, whereby such receiver or
trustee assumes and agrees to be bound by each and every term, provision and limitation of the
Franchise.
B. Upon the foreclosure or other judicial sale of all or a substantial part of a pipeline
system, the Grantee shall notify the City Clerk of such fact, and such notification shall be treated
as a notification that a change in ownership of the Grantee has taken place and the provisions of
this Chapter governing such changes shall apply.
SECTION 19. WAIVER OF BREACH. No waiver of the breach of any of the
covenants, agreements, restrictions, or conditions of this, Franchise by the City shall be construed
to be a waiver of any such succeeding breach of the same or other covenants, agreements,
restrictions or conditions of this Franchise. No delay or omission of the City in exercising the
right, power or remedy herein provided in the event of default shall be construed as a waiver
thereof, or acquiescence therein, nor shall the acceptance of any payments made in a manner or at
a time other than is herein provided be construed as a waiver of or variation in any of the terms of
this Franchise.
SECTION 20. DEFAULT
A. Default. Any neglect, failure or refusal to comply with any of the conditions of
the Franchise shall constitute grounds for the suspension or forfeiture thereof. The City Council,
prior to any suspension or forfeiture of the Franchise or recovery of the surety bond, shall give to
the Grantee not less than 30 days' notice in writing of any default thereunder. If the Grantee does
not within the noticed period begin the work of compliance, or after such beginning does not
prosecute the work with due diligence to completion, the City Council may hold a hearing, at
which the Grantee shall have the right to appear and be heard, and thereupon the City Council
may determine whether such conditions are material and essential to the Franchise and whether
the Grantee is in default and may declare the Franchise suspended or forfeited. Notice of the
hearing shall be given to the Grantee not less than ten days before the hearing.
If the City Council declares this Franchise forfeited, it may thereupon and thereafter
exclude the Grantee from further occupancy or use of all City roads authorized under this
Franchise. A forfeiture of said Franchise shall not of itself operate to release the bond filed for
said Franchise. Upon declaring a Franchise forfeited, the City Council may elect to take and
accept the bond as liquidated damages therefor and pursue any other legal remedy for any
damage, loss or injury suffered by the City as a result of such breach. After forfeiture, the bond
shall remain in full force and effect for a period of one (1) year unless exonerated by the City
Council. No bond shall be exonerated unless a release is obtained from the City Engineer of the
13 —1q—
City of Santa Clarita and is filed with the Clerk of the City of Santa Clarita. The release shall
state whether all excavations have been back filled, all obstructions removed, and whether the
substratum or surface of City roads occupied or used have been placed in good and serviceable
condition. Release shall not constitute a waiver of any right or remedy which the City of Santa
Clarita may have against the Grantee or any person, firm or corporation for any damage, loss or
injury suffered by the City as a result of any work or activity performed by the Grantee in the
exercise of this Franchise.
B. Cumulative Remedies. No provision herein made for the purpose of securing the
enforcement of the terms and conditions of this Franchise shall be deemed an exclusive remedy
or to afford the exclusive procedure, for the enforcement of said terms and conditions, but the
remedy and procedure herein provided, in addition to those provided by law, shall be deemed to
be cumulative.
SECTION 21. SCOPE OF RESERVATION. Nothing herein contained shall ever be
construed so as to exempt the Grantee from compliance with all ordinances of the City now in
effect or which may be hereafter adopted which are not inconsistent with the terms of this
Franchise or in conflict with the California State Fire Marshal's exclusive safety, regulatory and
enforcement authority over intrastate hazardous liquid pipelines as provided for in Section 51010
of the California Government Code. The enumeration herein of specific rights reserved shall not
be construed as exclusive, or as limiting the general reservation herein made or as limiting such
rights as the City may now or hereafter have in law.

obligations only, and Guarantor shall have no obligation to perform or enforce performance on
Debtor under the Franchise.
Guarantor represents and warrants that this Guaranty is a legal, valid, and binding
obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms
except as limited by bankruptcy or other laws of general application.
Guarantor agrees that any amendments, modifications, alterations or changes made in the

successors or assigns from any liability arising hereunder, and notice to the Guarantor of any
such amendments, modifications, alterations or changes is hereby waived.

writing by the Grantee or otherwise waived in this Guaranty.
