CI'T'Y OF SAN BERNf 'IDINO - REQUEST Fr I COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT Southern California Edison is required by Rule 20 of the Public Utilities Commission to set aside a certain portion of its 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 reviews and designates areas proposed for the establishment of a district. Underground Utilities improve the appearance of a street by removing visual clutter. It also eliminates the hazard from broken wires which result from violent windstorms or earthquakes, both of which are frequent occurrences in the area. The County of San Bernardino has taken the necessary steps to establish a regional underground utility district for Norton A.F.B. Since the limits of the project are within the City Limits, we will also need to go through the legally mandated steps for establishing an underground utility district, even though County Rule 20-A funds will be used to finance the cost incurred. One March 20, 1995, Authorization to Proceed was granted and Resolution No. 95-66 was adopted, setting a Public Hearing for April 3, 1995. All affected property owners and utility companies were given notice by mail. There are approximately 12 parcels that will need to convert their utility services from overhead to underground. We recommend that the hearing be closed and that the attached Resolution Creating Underground Utility District No. 24 be adopted. I I 5-0264 a N i Q H rA s> � f _ i W 75 _9.
