CITY OF SAN BERN -.iRDINO - REQUEST F.. R 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.
We recommend authorization to proceed be granted and the public hearing be set.
There are approximately 12 parcels that will need to convert their utility
services from overhead to underground.
