FROM: JOHN SWEETEN « COUNTY
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
GATE: March 19, 2002
SUBJECT: PIPELINE:.FRANCHISE FEES FOR CITY OF OAKLEY
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)'&BACKeROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Recommendation
1. AUTHORIZE the Auditor- Controller to reduce the "Designation for Litigation and Audit
Exceptions" by$26,511 and authorize payment to the City of Oakley for pipeline franchise fee
collection.
2. APPROVE the attached appropriation adjustment, which transfers the funds from the
"Designation for Litigation and Audit Exceptions" to the City of Oakley.
Backaround:
Lest year, the County received a request from the City of Oakley to determine Whether it had
erroneously received franchise fees for pipelines that Were located Within Oakley's city limits. The
request was based on the belief that the County had been receiving franchise fees for pipelines in
its road right of Ways prior to the City's incorporation, and that the County had continued to
receive those payments after the City had incorporated those pipelines into its jurisdiction.
In response to the City's request, the County instructed its franchise consultants, Francisco &
Associates, Inc. (FAI), to review the issue. FAI identified (1) two pipelines that had been in
unincorporated County land prior to Oakley's incorporation in 1999, that are now entirely within
Oakley's city limits, and(2)one pipeline of Which approximately 40%lies Within Oakley's city limits
and of which 60% remains in unincorporated County land.
FAI also calculated the franchise fees that the County received for pipelines that fell inside of
Oakley's jurisdiction since its incorporation on July 1, 1999. Specifically,the County has received:
$24,211.02 since that time. The County's policy on fees owed to it by other jurisdictions has been
to charge interest on the owed amount, compounded annually. To be consistent with that policy,
the County has included interest on the amount owed to Oakley at 7%, compounded':annually.
Interest at the above amount and at that rate,equals$2,299.24,for a-total amount of$26,510.26.
