REQUEST FOR PIPELINE FRANCHISE A request from the San Diego Pipeline Company {SDPC) to enter into a franchise agreement to-cover installation, operation and mainte- nance of two pipelines proposed to be constructed within certai6 public roadways within the City. In addition to the staff report dated March 26, 1987, the Director of Public Works reviewed the supplemental report dated April 6, 1987, prepared by the Public Works Department/Engineering Division based on information received from SDPC the latter part of last He noted that one additional area is SDPC's original estimate for the annual franchise fee was approximately $1,500. This has been refigured based on I987 dollars and current volume to be approxi- mately $6,000 per year. A question-and-answer period discussion followed. Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy commented that SDPC is mismanaged, and its · customers pay five times what most utility companies' charge. They are also responsible for the November, 1986, pipeline break on Edinger Avenue. The break resulted in the discharge of several hundred thousand gallons of gasoline, into Peters Canyon Wash that probably cost $100,000 for all governmental agencies to contain. She felt that SDPC's reputation is below ttandard. Therefore, she requested the closest scrutiny and highest possible franchise fee. The Director responded that the fee is regulated by the Street and Highways Code. All other conditions will be addressed within the franchise agreement. The City Attorney responded to Councilman Hoesterey that the City does not have any liability for the operation of SDPC's pipeline or property. Councilman Hoesterey stated that what SDPC must do to install new pipeline is far better environmentally than their pres- ent operation.

He stated that. in conjunction with the public hearing resolution, staff will respond to Councilwoman Kennedy's suggestion regarding the use of a consultant and identify what methods of control will be in place. The motion carried 4-0. 2. SAN DIEGO CREEK REGIONAL FLOOD CONTROL MASTER PLAN In June; 1986, the cities of Irvine and Tustin and. The Irvine Com- pany entered into an agreement to fund the engineering services for the preparation of a master plan for the San Diego Creek Watershed upstream of the Interstate 405 freeway.

Councilman ~elly requested that the location of the Chili Cook-off be moved near the Tustin Auto Center. He expressed concern that crowds at previous Chili Cook-offs were unruly because of alcoholic beverage consumption.
