The City shall, in its vacation procedure, reserve and grant said easement to Avista for Avista's Facilities and shall also expressly prohibit any use of the vacated properties which will interfere with Avista's full enjoyment and use of said easement. SECTION 5.0 RELOCATION OF AVISTA'S FACILITIES 5.1 Relocation of Facilities Requested by City Upon request of the City, Avista shall relocate its Facilities as necessary within the Franchise Area as specifically designated in design plans that are no less than sixty (60) percent complete by the City for such purpose. For purposes of this provision, all reasonable efforts shall be made by the City, with input from Avista, to minimize the impacts of potential relocation. The City shall provide Avista reasonable notice of any intended or expected requirement or request to relocate Avista's Facilities. Said notice shall not be less than ninety (90) calendar days prior to any such relocation and, depending on the circumstances, may be greater than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days if necessary to allow Avista sufficient time to arrange for relocation. In in cases of emergency, or where not otherwise reasonably foreseeable by the City, the notice requirements of this Section may be shortened by discussion and agreement between the Parties. The City shall use reasonable efforts to cause any such relocation to be consistent with any applicable long-term development plan(s) of the City. In the event a relocation forces Avista off City's existing Public Right(s) of Way then the City shall accommodate such relocation by securing an acceptable, alternate location for utilities and removing any obstructions, including, without limitation, trees, vegetation or other objects that may interfere with the installation, operation, repair, upgrade or maintenance of Avista's Facilities on the affected Property. If the City requires the subsequent relocation of any of Avista's Facilities within five (5) years from the date of relocation of such Facilities or installation of new Facilities, regardless of the cause for either the initial or subsequent relocation, the City shall bear the entire cost of such subsequent relocation. Avista agrees to relocate all Facilities promptly within a reasonable time. Upon notice from the City, the parties agree to meet and determine a reasonable relocation time, which shall not exceed the time normally needed for construction projects of the nature of the City's relocation request unless otherwise mutually agreed. Notwithstanding the above, Avista shall not be required to relocate facilities of other entities that were abandoned to another franchisee. Such relocation of these types of facilities shall be accordance with Section 5.2 below. This Section shall not apply to Facilities in place pursuant to private easement held by Avista, regardless of whether such Facilities are also located within the Franchise Area. In the event the City requests relocation of Facilities that are in place pursuant to an existing easement, said relocation shall be treated in the same manner as a relocation requested by third parties under Section 5.2, below, with the City bearing the expense of relocation. 5.2 Relocation of Facilities Requested by Third Parties City acknowledges that Avista is obligated to provide gas service and related line extension or relocation of Facilities for the benefit of its customers and to require compensation for such services on a non-preferential basis in accordance with applicable Tariffs. If Facilities are to be relocated at the request of or for the primary benefit of a third party, the City shall not require Avista to relocate its Facilities until such time as a suitable location can be found and the third party has entered into an agreement to reimburse Avista for its reasonable costs of relocation 5.3 Availability of Other Funds In the event federal, state or other funds are available in whole or in part for utility relocating purposes, the City agrees to use reasonable efforts to apply for such funds, provided such funds do not interfere with the City's right to obtain the same or similar funds, or otherwise create any expense or detriment to the City. The City may recover all costs, including internal costs, associated with obtaining such funds. SECTION 6.0 INDEMNITY 6.1 Indemnification of City Avista agrees to defend and indemnify the City, its appointed and elected officers and employees or agents, from any and all liabilities, claims, causes of action, losses, damages and expenses, including costs and reasonable attorney's fees, that the City may sustain, incur, become liable for, or be required to pay, as a consequence of or arising from the negligent acts or omissions of Avista, its officers, employees or agents in connection with Avista's obligations under this Franchise; provided, however, that this indemnification provision shall not apply to the extent that said liabilities, claims, damages and losses were caused by or result from the negligence of the City, elected officers and employees or agents. 6.2 Indemnification of Avista To the extent permitted by law, City agrees to defend and indemnify Avista, its officers and employees, from any and all liabilities, claims, causes of action, losses, damages and expenses, including costs and reasonable attorney's fees, that Avista may sustain, incur, become liable for, or be required to pay, as a consequence of or arising from the negligent acts or omissions of the City, its appointed and elected officers and employees or agents in connection with City's obligations under this Franchise; provided, however, that this indemnification provision shall not apply to the extent that said liabilities, claims, damages, losses and so forth were caused by or result from the negligence of Avista, its employees or agents. SECTION 7.0 FRANCHISE DISPUTE RESOLUTION 7.1 Non-waiver Failure of a Party to declare any breach or default of this Franchise immediately upon the occurrence thereof, or delay in taking any action in connection therewith, shall not waive such breach or default, but the Party shall have the right to declare any such breach or default at any time. Failure of a Party to declare one breach or default does not act as a waiver of the Party's right to declare another breach or default. In addition, the pursuit of any right or remedy by the City shall not prevent the City from thereafter declaring a revocation and forfeiture for breach of the conditions of the Franchise. 7.2 Dispute Resolution by the Parties Disputes regarding the interpretation or execution of the terms of this Franchise that cannot be resolved by department counterparts representing the Parties, shall be submitted to the City's Attorney and an attorney representing Avista for resolution. If a mutually satisfactory or timely resolution cannot then be reached by the above process, prior to resorting to a court of competent jurisdiction, the Parties shall submit the dispute to a non-binding alternate dispute resolution process agreed to by the Parties. 7.3 Right of Enforcement No provision of this Franchise shall be deemed to bar the right of the City or Avista to seek judicial relief from a violation of any provision of the Franchise to recover monetary damages for such violations by the other party or to seek enforcement of the other Party's obligations under this Franchise by means of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other remedy at law or in equity pursuant to Section 7.4. Any litigation between the City and Avista arising under or regarding this Franchise shall occur, if in the state courts, in a court of competent jurisdiction, and if in the federal courts, in the United States District Court for the District of Idaho. 7.4 Attorneys' Fees and Costs Each Party shall pay for its own attorneys' fees and costs incurred in any dispute resolution process or legal action arising out of the existence of this Franchise. SECTION 8.0 GENERAL PROVISIONS 8.1 Franchise as Contract, No Third Party Beneficiaries This Franchise is a contract between the Parties and binds and benefits the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. This Franchise does not and is not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any persons, entities or beneficiaries other than the Parties. 8.2 Force Majeure In the event that Avista is delayed in or prevented from the performance of any of its obligations under the Franchise by circumstances beyond Avista's control (Force Majeure) including, without limitation, third party labor disputes, fire, explosion, flood, earthquake, power outage, acts of God, war or other hostilities and civil commotion, then Avista's performance shall be excused during the period of the Force Majeure occurrence. Avista will use all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the period of the disability due to the occurrence. Upon removal or termination of the occurrence Avista will promptly resume performance of the affected Franchise obligations in an orderly and expeditious manner. 8.3 Prior Franchises Superseded As of the Effective Date this Franchise shall supersede all prior gas franchises for the Franchise Area previously granted to Avista or its predecessors by City, and shall affirm, authorize and ratify all prior installations authorized by permits or other action not previously covered by franchise. Termination of the prior Franchise shall not, however, relieve the Parties from any obligations which accrued under said Franchise prior to its termination, including but not limited to, any outstanding indemnity, reimbursement or administrative fee payment obligations. 8.4 Severability The Franchise is granted pursuant to the laws of the State of Idaho relating to the granting of such rights and privileges by City. If any article, section, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Franchise is for any reason held illegal, invalid, or unconstitutional, such invalidity shall not affect the validity of the Franchise or any of the remaining portions. The invalidity of any portion of this Franchise shall not abate, reduce, or otherwise affect any obligation required of Avista. 8.5 Changes or Amendments Changes or amendments to this Franchise shall not be effective until lawfully adopted by the City and agreed to by Avista. 8.6 Supremacy and Governing Law This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and enforced in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of Idaho.

In addition, pursuant to Section 8.6 and in the event a conflict exists between the terms of this Franchise and Avista's Tariff with the Commission that cannot be resolved, Avista may suspend or abandon the rights and obligations of this Franchise upon reasonable notice to the City. 8.10 Franchise Effective Date The Effective Date of this Franchise shall be November 13th, 2018, after passage, approval and legal publication of this ordinance as provided by law, and provided that it has been duly accepted by Avista as specified above.

GOSSIP!

Several years ago I read an article in the newspaper which I thought was very educational, so I cut it out and put it in my strong box where I keep other important papers. It was in there for several years. I took it out of my strong box and taped it on the wall in my living room where it has been for many years. Since I am running out of ideas to write about, I thought I would share it with you readers. In my opinion, I think it is truthful and makes a lot of sense. The title of this article is GOSSIP

(Idaho is only one of two known states where the sheriff issues driver’s licenses. All others are directly vended by the Department of Transportation.)
