CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The Proposed formation of Underground Utility District No. 25 was recommended by the City's Underground
Utility District Committee at their meeting of August 1, 1996.
Certain 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 reviews and designates areas
proposed for the establishment of a district.
This project is a joint project between the City of San Bernardino and the City of Highland. The County of San
Bernardino has approved using a portion of their Rule20 allocations for this project, thus no City allocations
will be used.
Property owners within the district will be required to complete the undergrounding from their property
lines to the service points at their own cost. No City funds will be required for this project.
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 attached resolution gives notice of a public hearing to be held on January 13, 1997. All effected property
owners and utility companies will be given mailed notice of the hearing.
It is recommended that the Director of Public Works/City Engineer and City Clerk be authorized to proceed
with the establishment of the proposed Underground Utility Assessment District and the resolution setting a
public hearing be approved.
URGENCY CLAUSE: IN ORDER TO ALLOW EDISON TO PROPERLY PLAN AND DESIGN THE
UNDERGROUNDING OF OVERHEAD FACILITIES THE DISTRICT NEEDS TO BE FORMED AS SOON
AS FEASIBLE.
