DescriPtion) Finance: Council Notes: 75-0262 Agenda Item No. 3'1 . CITY OF SAN BERtORDINO - REQUEST OR COUNCIL ACTION ... STAFF REPORT The Southern California Edison Company has requested an easement across a porti on of Ci ty owned 1 and 1 oca ted on the West si de of "E" Street, South of Orange Show Road. This property is presently leased to the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District who are in agreement with granting the easement. The easement is a tapering strip located on the Northerly line of the land in question and is approximately 20 feet wide. The physical high tension poles involved have been on the property since 1931 and the purpose of this easement is to clear up some old problems and finite the location of the easement. This individual acceptance by the Mayor and Common Council is necessary as the document contai ns certain condi ti ons and covenants. After careful scruti ny of the land involved and the existing conditions on the land, we find that the document does not contain any unduly adverse restrictions or reservations and no appropriation of money is required. The City will be receiving a $1,000.00 processing fee for its time and effort involved. We therefore recommend that the document be executed. 75-0264 a:fi5 1.u.cJwo:) UO~P3 .,.uol!l~ u-v .., "'-"0.
