Analysis
In 1978 the City of Huntington Beach enacted Chapter 3 44 of the Municipal Code (HBMC)
to regulate the construction and operation of pipelines within the City s borders A majority of
the Chapter is dedicated to the regulation of petroleum pipeline franchises however other
pipelines are also regulated by this Chapter HBMC Chapter 3 44 has not been updated in
any substantive way since its adoption Many of the changes reflect a modernized way of
doing business and are more in line with other Southern California cities pipeline ordinances
Pursuant to the requirements of Huntington Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Chapter 3 44 if a
company would like to install and operate a pipeline (oil or otherwise) within the City right-of-
way it must first obtain a Franchise Agreement The Franchise Agreement sets forth terms
and conditions that the franchisee must abide by including the payment of a franchise fee In
addition the HBMC Chapter 3 44 regulates many aspects of the pipeline operation including
construction operation and removal of a pipeline
Over the last few decades the City has granted franchises to various pipeline companies
Many of the pipelines were built over fifty years ago and since that time have changed or
transferred ownership and/or have ceased to operate While the conditions of the existing
pipelines have changed HBMC Chapter 3 44 has not had significant changes since 1984
Minor changes were made to the Chapter in 2009 however the proposed changes were not
meant to address the variety of new issues related to oil pipeline franchises While the
current Municipal Code attempts to regulate the health safety and financial concerns that
may result when petroleum and other franchises exist in the public right-of-way updated
regulations are needed
The Economic Development Department has met with the City Attorneys Office Public
Works and Finance Departments to address the issues that have arisen regarding the
pipeline franchises In addition the City hired a petroleum pipeline consultant to research
issues related to the City s current Franchise Agreements and requirements of Chapter 3 44
As part of that research as well as suggestions by City departments it was discovered that
portions of Chapter 3 44 are in need of several revisions including an increase in pipeline
franchise fees The code changes have been reviewed and approved by the Public Works
Department Finance Department Economic Development Department as well as the City
Attorneys office
Some of the proposed changes include the following (1) Decrease the term of the Franchise
Agreement from thirty (30) to fifteen (15) years (2) Increase the liability insurance
requirement from $1 million to $5 million (3) Add a requirement that franchisee maintain
Environmental Impairment Liability Insurance (4) Increase the performance bond amount
from $10 000 to $100 000 (5) Add a requirement that the franchisee pay fees when
abandoning pipelines (6) Increase the amount of the franchise fee as well as the method of
calculation (The proposed fees are now close in fee structure with the City of Long Beach)
and (7) Change to the methodology used in calculating annual increases including using the
CPI (Consumer Price Index) instead of the current PPI (Producer Price Index) A single base
index will be standard for all future franchises and will affect any new or renewed franchises
and all franchisee payments will eventually be calculated in the same fashion This will
streamline the calculation process and maintain consistency among all franchisees in the
future as they come up for renewal

MEETING DATE 8/2/2010 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER ED 10-025
The City currently has four active Franchise Agreements in place with Pacific Pipeline
Pacific Terminals and two franchises with Chevron/Texaco two of these will be up for
renewal in the next few years City staff is currently negotiating the renewal of two expired
franchises covering existing pipelines under new ownership
These changes are based on industry accepted methods that have been consistently used
by other cities The City Attorney is recommending substantive revisions to Chapter 3 44 to
better address new issues and changes that have arisen over the 32 years since its
adoption
