OLYMPIC PIPE COMPANY FRANCHISE The Olympic Pipe Line Company's request for a franchise within the City of Tukwila was discussed. Mayor Minkler expressed thanks to those who had brought forth the necessary details for Council study into this question. Mr. Dunning requested a legal opinion from the City Attorney as to whether Olympic Pipe Line Company was a public utility and, if so, do they have the right to use the utility easement corridor for installation of their line. Mr. Hodge reported by statutory definition Olympic Pipe Line Company was a public utility citing a Skagit County Superior Court ruling which granted them the right of eminent domain. As to their right to use the utility corridor, Mr. Hodge stated the utility easements conveyed the right to use the easements for utilities and since Olympic Pipe Line Company is a utility they could be granted this right. The question was raised as to whether the 15 foot easement was large enough to put in the pipe line. Mr. Fukiki answered the easement was large enough but he had some reservations as to cooperation between utilities. He recommended the City retain the right to request relocation of the pipe line if necessary at Olympic Pipe Line Company's expense. It was further specified any request, for moving of the line should specify a time limit for accomplishing the moving and set forth penalties for any unnecessary delay. Mr. Crostick asked the minimum and maximum gallonage that would go through the line. Mr. Durbin replied there would be 16,000 barrels per day average in 1970 and 30,000 barrels per day average by 1980. The line would be in operation 10 hours each 36 hour cycle. Mr. Bowen asked Fire Chief Boulanger what knowledge the Fire Department would have to have as to the operation. Mr. Boulanger replied the Fire Department would have to know when the line was in operation. This would be an added burden on the Department. Mr. Durbin stated Olympic Pipe Line Company would issue a published schedule of operation to the Fire and Police Chiefs. Mr. Bowen stated something should be spelled out to protect the property owners if they would have to use the utility easement for their purposed. Olympic Pipe Line Company should have to stand the costs of all relocation and the fee rate should be increased. It was further established Olympic Pipe Line Company would have to reimburse the City for any out of pocket expense caused by installation and constructior of the line such as engineering costs. Mr. Crostick stated in order to justify the granting of the franchise the following conditions should be included: 1. 1 per barrel franchise fee 2. 1 12 3/4 inch line would be allowed with no above ground pertinents 3. a preventive maintenance program would be scheduled 4. the franchise be granted for a 25 year period/ 5. Olympic Pipe line Company will respond to any request to riove the line or relocate it with no undue delay. Mr. Durbin stated the 1/$¢ per barrel would be about $7,300. per year and sou tded like an unreasonable figure. Mr. Crostick pointed out he pipe line would be of no direct benefit to the City, yet would take up part of the utility easement so the City should receive some renumeration. Mr. Dunning made a motion the Council instruct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance amending the original franchise ordinance incorporating the details spelled out in the discussion. Motion was seconded by Mr. Bowen and carried.
