COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NUMBER: /
FROM: Michael D. McCluskey, Public Works Director
Prepared by: Jerry Kenny, Supervising Civil Engineer
SUBJECT: Public Hearing to establish Underground Utilities District 13 (Santa Rosa St. & Foothill Blvd.)
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
Introduce an ordinance to print, amending Section 13.12.040 of the Municipal Code
to establish Underground Utilities District 13.
DISCUSSION:
The City has been actively engaged in undergrounding overhead utility lines using Public Utilities Commission
(PUC) Rule 20A funding since 1965. To date, eleven (11) districts have been completed and District 12 was recently
established in conjunction with the Jennifer Street bridge. Underground conversion projects have followed a"priority
list', adopted by the City Council and the list was recently revised to add the Osos/Jennffer Street project. [See
attached Resolution No. 8471 (1995 Series)]. This project is the next highest priority project.
The preliminary district boundary was modified somewhat to add the block between Broad St and Ferrini Rd. on
Foothill Blvd., which is a more logical terminus, according to PG & E and also eliminates more overhead wires along
that corridor. In addition,the boundary was meandered to include only those overhead facilities that cause the most
obvious clutter to the corridors and not those properties that receive overhead service from "less conspicuous" rear
yards, etc.
All of Santa Rosa Park is included in the district. This was considered as an option in prior considerations by the
Council and is estimated to cost about$25,000 more than the amount to underground only the primary transmission
wires that traverse the park. Staff feels this would be desirable from an aesthetic point of view and is an allowed
expenditure of Rule 20A funding, according to PG & E.
Procedures for underground utility districts are prescribed in Chapter 13.12 (Underground Utilities) of the Municipal
Code. The respective utility companies and affected property owners have been notified of this public hearing by map
and newspaper advertising. After hearing testimony and If the Council finds that the district should proceed, it must
pass to print an ordinance,in accordance with the regulations. Final passage of the ordinance is tentatively scheduled
for February 20, 1996.
The ordinance provides a written description of the district and establishes the time by which all overhead utilities must
be removed. The schedule has been coordinated with the various utility companies and is acceptable to them. This
is a particularly complex district, according to the utility companies, and the preliminary schedule was extended due
to their design schedule and current priorities. [twill also include coordination and processing of CalTrans permits,
since Santa Rosa St is a State Highway.
There are sufficient'Rule 20A' funds available to do this project, as noted below under Fiscal Impact. Additionally,
fifteen thousand dollars ($ 15,000) is included in the 1996-97 Financial Plan to cover City costs associated with the
district.
Property owners will be required to make any necessary modifications to their own utility service connections to
receive underground service at their own cost. This could vary from a hundred to a thousand or more dollars,
depending on the points of connection,types of existing equipment and distance from the new utility mains. The utility
companies will provide for a maximum of 100 ft. of conduit runs from the mains, as part of the district cost. The
owners will be required to have it connected from that.point to their own facilities by their contractors under electrical

permits. Specific details will be worked out at a later date, which will be coordinated with the utility companies and
City staff. This will be discussed in letters to be sent by staff after finalization of the district.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Council may add to or delete portions of the district, such as:
1. Add the portion of Foothill Blvd. between Santa Rosa and California Boulevard. The cost of this portion Is
very high, complicated (per PG & E) and is estimated to cost an additional$340,000, due to the existence of
2 separate circuits.
2. Delete Santa Rosa Park. However, staff was directed by a prior Council to include the park and staff feels
the expenditure of the estimated $25,000 is justified due to the enhanced park atmosphere that will result.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Current Rule 20A Funds Available (1995) (approximate) 855,000
1996 allocation (approx.) 230.000
Total available funds (approx.) $ 1,085,000
Allocated Rule 20A funds committed for Dist. 12 50,000
Balance available for Dist. 13 (approx.) $ 1,035,000
Estimate of cost for Dist. 13 $ 870,000
Less Rule 20A funding - 855.000
City cost $ 15,000
Approximately 80 hours of staff time is expected to complete this project.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Council Colleagues
FROM: Allen Settle
SUBJECT: TOUR OF CREEK AREA
The creek.setback ordinance is tentatively scheduled to come before Council on March 5. It was
my thought that it would be beneficial for the Council to actually see examples of how the
proposed setbacks might apply in different situations before the meeting. I would like to suggest
two possible dates for a 12:00 - 1:45 p.m. box-lunch tour of the creek area: Thursday, February
29th or Tuesday, February 27th.
