§ 5. [Regulations; rates.]

Natural gas service shall be subject to the rules and regulations of the Missouri Public Service Commission governing utility service as well as any other applicable rules or regulations of federal, state or local authorities. Any regulations not subject to the various rules and regulations stated above, shall be administered pursuant to the grantee's internal policies and procedures as filed with the Missouri Public Service Commission and/or in the grantee's corporate office.

The rates which are to be charged by the grantee for natural gas service hereunder shall be those which are now lawfully approved or prescribed, and as said rates may, from time to time, be lawfully approved or prescribed by the Missouri Public Service Commission or any successor regulatory authority having jurisdiction thereof.

The grantee shall have the right to make and enforce as a part of the conditions under which it will supply natural gas for heat, power, light, fuel, or other purposes as herein provided, all needful rules and regulations consistent with federal, state and local laws, the city's Right-of-Way Management Ordinance, and the provisions of this franchise agreement. The provisions of this section shall not be interpreted to relieve the grantee's obligation to comply with all provisions of the grantor's Right-of-Way Management Ordinance.
