The following report of the City Attorney in the matter of a natural gas franchise was received, read, and ordered recorded in the Minutes of the City Council: The City Council, Austin, Texas. Gentlemen: "Austin, Texas, June 2, 1927. In compliance with instructions given at your last session that 124 I inform you of the procedure necessary to grant a franchise for natural gas to the group of citizens suggested by Mr. K. H. Reed, I beg to advise you as follows: The city charter requires that any franchise to occupy or use the streets and public places in the City must be granted by ordinance, and every franchise granted for gas must be authorized or approved by a majority vote of the qualified electors at an election held for that purpose, the expenses of which election shall be borne by the applicant for such franchise. It will be obvious that the first consideration to concern the Council in such an undertaking is the formulation of a franchise ordinance that will secure with reasonable certainty an adequate supply of natural gas for the present and future needs of the City, and at the same time contain all the conditions, limitations and obligations necessary to protect the public interests. The details of such a document should be carefully worked out and should express in a clear and comprehensive manner all the obligations of the proponent. For instance, it should contain sufficient provisions with reference to the use and restoration of the streets, regulations governing the furnishing and extension of service, rates to be charged for service in so far as same may be governed by contract, bonds for indemnity, consideration for franchise based upon appraisal of grantee's capital investment, term of franchise, whether indeterminate or otherwise, forfeiture provisions, limit of time for beginning of operations, period within which the City, and what portions, will be furnished with gas, a substantial sum of money required in default of such provisions, and many other items not necessary to detail at this time. The franchise ordinance must first be prepared, considered and passed by the City Council, and in its completed form submitted to the people for their approval. When approved at a popular election, the franchise ordinance becomes a fixed contract between the City and the grantee, and cannot thereafter be altered except by the mutual agreement of the parties, to-wit, the grantee and the people. Thus, it becomes apparent that the utmost care and caution should be shown in approaching and determining this matter. It strikes me that the essentials that should exist in any negotiations to bring natural gas to Austin is the presence of a responsible organization that owns the supply and has the financial ability to fulfill the obligations of a carefully considered franchise. When found, it is the prerogative and responsibility of the City Council to deal face to face with such a concern. There should be no undisclosed principal, and no exigency can exist that should require your Honorable Body to surrender its prerogatives and responsibility to any person of group of persons under the circumstances proposed by Mr. Reed, no matter how disinterested the purposes may be to assist you in such an undertaking. Very respectfully yours, J. Bouldin Rector, City Attorney." Councilman Pannell moved that the Council indorse the above report and act accordingly. Motion was seconded by Councilman Steck and same prevailed by the following vote: Ayes, Mayor McFadden, Councilmen Mueller, Pannell, and Steck, 4; nays, none, Councilman Reed absent.
