SUBJECT: Possible installationof conduit to provide ', P Mier
underground electric service in the downtown
For a number of years the Downtown Association has obtained power for lighting trees by an
extension cord arrangement from adjacent buildings. This is somewhat unsightly and does
present some slight hazard.
I have been approached unofficially by a couple of members of the Downtown Association who
requested that the City issue a change order to install a conduit for electrical service as a part of
the current contract for improvement of the creek and sidewalks on Higuera Street between the
Thai Classic and Mo's restaurants. This would appear to be a wise decision if the City ever
anticipates providing electric service in an under-ground fashion within the public right-of-way
in the downtown area.
I am hereby requesting that the City Council direct staff to investigate and report back on two
options:
a) Would it be desirable to install conduit in connection with the current contract? If so,
staff should prepare a preliminary design, cost sharing and cost estimate for the
project.
b) Is it in the City's interest to include in the Master Plan for Downtown the long-range
provision of underground conduits to accommodate electric service within the public
right-of-way?

SUBJECT: Olive Fruit Fly
Today I received a call from the SLO County Agricultural Commissioner stating that the olive
fruit fly has been found in several locations in the Laguna Lake area. He will keep the City and
County informed as to mitigation measures so this pest doesn't establish in our community.
