Terms. A franchise fee is hereby imposed on the Company under its 20 gas franchise in accordance with the amount and fee design set forth in the fee 21 schedule attached as Exhibit A to this Ordinance commencing with the 22 Company’s March 2026 billing month. 23 This fee is an account-based fee on each premise and not a meter-based fee. In 24 the event that an entity covered by this ordinance has more than one meter at a 25 single premise, but only one account, only one fee shall be assessed to that 26 account. If a premise has two or more meters being billed at different rates, the 27 Company may have an account for each rate classification, which will result in 28 more than one franchise fee assessment for gas service to that premise. If the 29 Company combines the rate classifications into a single account, the franchise 30 fee assessed to the account will be the largest franchise fee applicable to a 31 single rate classification for energy delivered to that premise. In the event any 32 entities covered by this ordinance have more than one premise, each premise 33 (address) shall be subject to the appropriate fee. In the event a question arises 34 as to the proper fee amount for any premise, the Company’s manner of billing 35 for energy used at all similar premises in the city will control. 36 Section 3.
