ITEM EXPLANATION The Underground Utility District Advisory Committee has prioritized project areas for the conversion of overhead lines to underground. The next area to be converted is the alley east of the railroad from Elm Avenue north to Christansen Way. Projects in order of priority, with conversion cost estimates are: 1 - Alley east of railroad from Elm north to $160,000 Christansen Way. 2 - Harding Street at Oak Avenue $ 35,000 3 - Tyler Street north of Oak Avenue $150,000 $ 50,000 4 - Roosevelt Street north to Oak Avenue 5 - State Street north of Beech Avenue $650,000 The first project area was selected because it will provide the greater benefit to the downtown area and contribute to the Citys efforts of revitalization. Undergrounding utilities not only create a more pleasing visual atmosphere but development capacity is often increased with the conversion process. San Diego Gas and Electric has notified the City that the allocation balance for underground conversion is $225,333. The estimated cost to convert the proposed District No. 9 is $160,000. Council needs to determine the necessity for forming Underground Utilities District No. 9 and set the matter for public hearing on June 4, 1985. FISCAL IMPACT Cost of undergrounding is paid by San Diego Gas and Electric. Utility hook-up costs to individual property owners is estimated at $1,000 each.
