CITY OF SAN 8I!RNQDINO - RBQUBST FQ. COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The proposed formation of Underground Utility Assessment District No. 20, was
approved by the City's Underground utility District Committee at their meeting of
10-04-90. This project was recommended based on the proposed widening of 40th
Street, from Kendall drive to.Electric Avenue.
Utility companies are required by Rule 20 of the Public Utilities Commission to
set aside a certain portion of their revenues to finance the cost of
undergrounding overhead facilities within districts established by local
agencies. Each agency is allocated a certain amount of funds based upon the total
number of overhead services within the agency's boundaries. The Underground
Utility Committee of that agency reviews and designates areas proposed for the
establishment of a district.
Portions of the proposed district are within City boundaries, and portions of the
district are within County jurisdiction. The project will be a joint project
between the City and County, and the County will use their portion of their Rule
20 allocation for the project.
Due to the high cost of undergrounding along Waterman Avenue, the City has used
its present and several years future allocations for that project, and a source
of funds, other than Rule 20 allocations, will need to be identified at some time
in the future. The Total estimated cost of this project is approximately
$900,000, with the City's share being approximately one third of that amount
($300,000).
Once the district is established, property owners within the district will be
required to complete the undergrounding from their property lines to the service
points at their own cost. A hearing date will be established at a later time, and
all property owners within the proposed district will be notified by mail of the
proposal.
Underground Utilities improve the appearance of a street by removing visual
clutter. Improving the streets cape promotes the mental well-being of persons
driving or walking along such a street. Undergrounding eliminates the hazard from
broken wires which result from violent windstorms or earthquakes, both of which
are frequent occurrences in the area.
It is recommended that the Director of Public Works/City Engineer and City Clerk
be authorized to proceed with the establishment of the proposed District.
