R/AC ~ CITY AT UNDERGROUNDING OF UTILITIES MTG. 911 /87 1 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Endorse the established procedure for the undergrounding of utilities as described below. Direct Staff to convene the Underground Utility Advisory Committee to update the priority list for Council approval. ITEM EXPLANATION: I At the City Council meeting of May 19th, Council directed sta: to prepare a report on the undergrounding of overhead utilities. Funding for the undergrounding of utilities comes primarily from Title 20A Conversion Funds, which SDG&E allocates to the City. This money can only be used for the undergrounding of utilities. If not expended within three years from the time it , budgeted, this money may be reallocated to another community. (Carlsbad has never forfeited any of these funds.) Recommendations to the City Council on the formation of underground utility districts is the responsibility of the Underground Utility Advisory Committee (WAC). The Committee is to report annually with a list of projects prioritized for Council approval. The current list of priorities include: 1. Tyler Street north of Oak $300,000 2. Harding Street at Oak 35,000 3. Roosevelt Street north of Oak 50,000 4. State Street north of Beech 650,000 From the available records it is unclear when this list was approved by Council. a > W 0 L1z a. e a z 0 .. 6 e a z 3 0 0 Policy giving priority to one area of the City has never been officially adopted by Council. The Redevelopment Area, however, has been the focus because of the need to revitalize this area. In recent years, the UUAC has met irregularly. The prior- ity list needs to be reviewed and updated. Advanced planning and coordination are essential because SDG&E must conduct engineering studies, schedule construction crews, and place the project in its capital budget. If the WAC functions as originally designed, the City can maximize the benefit of these Title 20A Conversion Funds. It is Staff's intention to convene the Committee, review and update the list of priorities, and submit the list to Council for approval. 1 e Page 2 of Agenda Bill No. 9 1 c/ FISCAL IMPACT: 0 None EXHIBITS : 1.

The governing body of the city or county in which such electric facilities are and uill be located has: a. Determined, after consultation uith the utility and after holc ing public hearings on the subject, that s'uch undergroundi ncj i in the general public interest for one or more of the .followii reasons: (1) Such undergrounding uill avoid or eliminate an unusually heavy concentration of overhead electric facilities; (2) The street or road or right-of-way is extensively used by the general public and carrres a heavy volume of pedes- trian or vehicular traffic: and (3) The street or road or right-of-way adjoins or passes through a civic area or public recreation area or an area of unusual scenic interest to the general public. b.

(Continued) 2. The utility's total annual budgeted amount for under5rounding uit: any city or the unincorporated area of any county, shall be allo- cated in the same ratio that the number of overhead meters in suck city or unincorporated area oi any county bears to the total systc overhead meters. The amounts 50 allocated may be exceeded where ! utility establishes that additional participation on a project is uarranted. Such allocated amounts may be carried over as providec belou. In order to qualify as a community uith an active under- grounding program, the governing body must have ado?ted an ordinsr or ordinances creating underground district and/or districts as SE forth in Section A.1.b. of this rule. Where there is a carry-over the utility has the right to set, as determined by its capability, reasonable limits on the fate of performance of the crork to be fi- nanced by the funds carried over. Where amounts budgeted for any calendar year are not expended in that calendar year or the next t succeeding calendar years following the budgeting thereof because of forces beyond the control of the utility, then in that event ac that event only, the utility may reallocate tho unexpended amount: of money in its'discretion, to communities uith actrve undergrounc ing programs, or uith the approval of the Commission for any other lawful purpose. 3. Tne undergrounding extends for a minimum distance of one block or 600 feet, whichever is the lesser. Upon request of the governing body, the utility uiil pay for no more than 100 feet of the cu5toner's undersround service lateral. The governing body may esta5lish a smalier footage allouance, or may limit the amount of money to be expended on a slngle customer' service, or the total amount to be expended on consumer ssrvlces in a particular project.
