Direct staff to create new rules for pipeline company permits

Police & Community SafetyGovernanceContract

In Plain English

Pipeline companies need city permits called franchises to run gas and oil lines under city streets. The city lacks formal rules for reviewing these permits and renewing them when they expire. If approved, staff creates an ordinance with clear standards and hires outside lawyers to handle complex franchise negotiations.
