these early studies.
We are now prepared to contract for an independent appraisal of the
system, prior to further purchase negotiations with PGE. This
appraisal will permit us to complete an even more accurate
financial analysis of City ownership. In order to facilitate an
appraisal process that parallels PGE appraisal methods, and leads
to a mutually agreeable system value, we require the current PGE
physical inventory of the streetlight system for which the City of
San Luis Obispo is billed.
We have been in contact with Art Hillman, attorney for PGE on these
matters. He has informed us that our request must be channeled via
Your office. Presumably, you would then deliver the inventory to
US. Due to my departure from City Staff, the inventory should be
sent to Mike McCluskey, Public Works Director, at 955 Morro in San
Luis Obispo.
It is our intention to complete this change of ownership in a
cooperative manner that is timely and avoids potentially difficult
and expensive litigation issues for the City or PGE.
Sincerely,
Tom Harringt

Re: RFP - Street Lights t ri 4,
Dear Mr. Elliott:
After receiving a FAX of San Luis Obispo's "Request for Proposal to Determine the Feasibility of
- Street Light Acquisition" of June 1994, I would like to reorganize your "RFP" based on an
approved format used in the many projects I have been involved with.
R. W. Beck and I work closely together on all projects I have managed. They are used for
"certified appraisals" and report analysis. As a management consultant, I manage the project:
"Preliminary Feasibility Report," project liaison, staff presentations, city council presentations,
nege ations, attorney selection, assist in selecting financing mechanisms, street light maintenance
contracts or city maintenance, required equipment acquisition, construction and maintenance
standards, and other tasks as the project may require.
Street light acquisition projects can best be organized in the following phased manner:
Phase I - "Preliminary Feasibility Report"
This is considered the City's close look at the project. Included is an analysis of street light
ownership, the savings, and pay -back period if owned by the city. The report will use a
comparable sales approach to approximate current value. Maintenance is discussed and
recommendations made whether contract or in-house maintenance is more cost effective. The
report will allow the City to make a decision on whether to move on to acquisition or consider no
action. The report has a fixed fee of $4,500 and includes a presentation once staff has had time to
review it. (With three or more cities in a "Joint Powers Authority," the fixed price is $3,500 per
report.)
Phase II - "Negotiations"
This phase requires authorization by city council to negotiate for capital pricing. A "certified
appraisal" by R. W. Beck will be required. Their appraisals will contain a "Reproduction Cost
New Less Depreciation" (RCNLD) value, an "Original Cost Less Depreciation" (OCLD) and an
"income" value. All are necessary to determine plant value. With correct values in hand,
negotiations can then proceed. Negotations are required by city franchise. (The consultant's fee
is $85 per hour plus direct expenses.) The City by this time in the project has truly become a part
of the project, understands the position of the utility, and is in a position to make an intelligent
decision concerning acquisition. The City will be faced with settling at a higher price than if they
pursued "eminent domain" proceedings. An attorney will need to be selected since the legal
expertise required is based on utility plant values, California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)
methods, practice in the narrow area of rate making, and an indepth knowledge of the utility field.

Phase III - "Condemnation"
If city council elects to pursue the project under condemnation, a "Resolution of Necessity and
Public Need" begins the court action. This portion of the project can take as much as one full year
before coming up on the county's Superior Court calendar. Both R. W. Beck and myself become
involved as expert witnesses. (Expert witness fee is $100 per hour; all other required work by the
management consultant is at the regular rate of $85 per hour plus direct expenses.)
All projects take on this similar format and can take up to two years to complete. This format
allows for the City's total involvement and considers the City's right to abandon at any point.
There are major economic advantages to forming a county -wide "Joint Powers Authority" (JPA)
for street light acquisition. The JPA joins all agencies into one unit with the cost being spread
based on street light count initially. Eventually, costs are spread based on valuation of each system
at the time of acquisition. Between R. W. Beck's appraisal and myself, we have the most
experience in the state and the nation in street light acquisition. The R. W. Beck and Hamm team
is currently midway in a large JPA acquisition project involving 12 agencies with a total of 34,000
street lights being acquired. This project is the state's largest acquisition.
Oualifications
Russell L. Hamm has been involved with street light acquisition since 1982 when as Deputy
Director -Field Services for the City of Santa Rosa, he acquired 6,200 street lights. Since then he
has advised, assisted or managed 15 separate projects totaling 30 agencies. He is presently,
involved with six other acquisition projects and has assisted cities in Hawaii, Florida, Missouri and
Massachusetts. His most recent completed projects are Bakersfield, Vallejo, Stockton, Rohnert
Park, Oceanside and Carlsbad. The following cities are offered as references for Mr. Hamm's
project management skills:
*City of Bakersfield - Lary Jamison, Superintendent of General Services,
805/326-3046
*City of Vallejo - John Powers, City Attorney, 707/6484545
-City of Carlsbad - Virginia McCoy, Electric Operations Supervisor, 619/434-2941
The R. W. Beck and Hamm approach provides the City with the most knowledgeable consultants
in street light acquisition and provides the City with total involvement.
We look forward to assisting the City of San Luis Obispo in this important project.
Sincerely,
Russell L. Hamm

As we discussed this afternoon, the City of San Luis Obispo is interested in purchasing the
streetlights owned by PG&E within the City. As we prepare to enter acquisition negotiations,
we need the following information so that our appraiser can estimate reproduction cost new
less depreciation (RCNLD) and original cost less depreciation (OCLD):
1. A detailed listing showing the type, quantity, and age of the streetlight facilities to be
acquired.
2. A summary of the current unit costs to install the streetlight facilities shown in item 1,
by type of facility.
3. A summary of the number of streetlights in each system by rate schedule and lamp
size.
4. A listing of the annual depreciation accrual rates for each of PG&Fs streetlight
subaccounts (Accounts 215 through 218), including the average service life, suvivor
curve, and net salvage ratio for each subaccount.
Thanks for your prompt reply to this request. We look forward to working with you on this
acquisition. Call me at 781-7209 if you have any questions.

CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
FROM: Michael D. McCloskey, Public Works Director
Prepared By: David Elliott, Administrative Analyst
SUBJECT: Authorization for Acquisition of Streetlights
City Plan No. 95-35
CAO RECOMMENDATION
M-tim D.
Dw Number
Adopt a resolution which 1) approves the appraisal report on streetlights owned by PG&E
2) establishes $157,165 as just compensation for acquiring streetlights and 3) authorizes the City
Administrative Officer to offer PG&E $157,165 for acquisition and transfer of streetlights to the
City
DISCUSSION
Background
According to the most recently compiled inventory (submitted by PG&E within the last three
weeks), there are 1,900 streetlights within the City. PG&E owns 1,849 of these lights, and the
City pays PG&E for rent plus electricity and maintenance on them. In 1994 Public Works began
investigating the feasibility of acquiring these streetlights from PG&E in order to reduce
operating costs. With appraisals and feasibility studies completed, the City is ready to proceed
with acquisition.
Using the detailed inventory furnished by PG&E, R.W. Beck, Inc. prepared a revised appraisal
report on the streetlights owned by PG&E. This report used three approaches to estimate fair
market value:
1) calculating reproduction cost new less depreciation at $297,196
2) calculating original cost less depreciation at $155,992
3) calculating capitalized income at $158,138
From these calculations R.W. Beck concluded that the estimated fair market value should be
$157,165.
Next Steps
If the Council adopts the proposed resolution, the City Administrative Officer will tender an
offer of $157,165 to PG&E for acquisition of the streetlights. This step is necessary in case
PG&E rejects this offer and the City must begin condemnation proceedings. Assuming that
PG&E may reject the offer, Public Works will schedule a public hearing in November for the
Council to adopt a resolution of necessity authorizing the city attorney to start eminent domain
proceedings.
Council Agenda Report - Resolution Authorizing Acquisition of Streetlights
Page 2
FISCAL IMPACT
Feasibility calculations show that the City can save about $75,000 each year in operating costs
by acquiring the streetlights and taking over maintenance. This amount will be reduced by
annual debt service on the bond proceeds needed for acquisition. Depending on final acquisition
cost, net annual savings after deducting debt service could range from $36,000 to
$62,000. The acquisition is funded in the approved 1996/97 budget, page E-4, with sufficient
funds to cover $157,165.
