Re: Utility Undergrounding Program Study Update (Districts 1 and 2)
This memorandum provides an update on the Utility Undergrounding Program Study, Capital
Improvement Program {CIP) Project No. 6083. A previous Council Memorandum was provided
on the topic of utility undergrounding on Nov. 26, 2019 (Attachment A).
Background
The Utility Undergrounding Program Study was initially approved by the City Council as part of
the fiscal year 2016-17 CIP in the amount of $100,000. The scope of the project was t o
investigate and analyze funding alternatives for undergrounding overhead utilities, such as
telecommunications and electrical power, and removing existing poles and wires.
Discussion
As discussed in Attachment A, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) collects and holds funds for
cities to pursue undergrounding of overhead utilities per the California Public Utilities
Commission's Rule 20A. However, the Rule 20A funding falls well short of the actual cost to
underground overhead utilities.
For example, SDG&E's most recent cost estimate to underground approximately 0.25 miles of
overhead utilities along a portion of Valley Street and Magnolia Avenue is $3.4 million (their
previous estimate for the same project was $1.4 million). At this rate, it will cost approximately
$476 million to underground the estimated 35 miles of overhead lines in the city listed in
Attachment A. Though the Valley Street and Magnolia Avenue project is in District 1, the
remaining 35 miles of overhead lines are in both Districts 1 and 2.
The city's current Rule 20A allocation balance is $1.2 million and the city receives approximately
$160,000 per year in additional Rule 20A allocation. At this current rate of allocation, it will take.
almost 14 more years to receive enough Rule 20A funding from SDG&E to pay for the Valley
Street and Magnolia Avenue project, unless another funding source is identified. It should be
noted that last year's allocation was only $82,265, as shown in Attachment A.
Because of insufficient Rule 20A funding, the Utility Undergrounding Program Study was
included in the CIP to identify and assess funding alternatives for placing the city's overhead

utilities underground. Due to staff capacity limitations and other City Council priority projects,
the Utility Undergrounding Program Study has not been initiated. In the adopted CIP for fiscal
year 2019-20, funding for the Utility Undergrounding Program Study was re-allocated to fiscal
year 2022-23 based on City Council priorities and funding constraints.
Next steps
This project will be re-initiated in fiscal year 2022-23 when CIP funding becomes available, as
prioritized by City Council.

Re: Utility Undergrounding Update

Memo ID# 2019135
This memorandum provides a status on the process of putting overhead utility lines
underground.
Background
During the Nov. 12, 2019, City Council meeting, Council Members requested an update on the
work to move utility lines underground.
Policy and Funding
The City of Carlsbad, and other municipalities, receive some reimbursement for the costs of
placing utility lines underground under the California Public Utilities Commission's Rule 20. The
rule contains a formula that establishes how much money utility companies need to allocate for
these reimbursement payments.
In San Diego County, cities are reimbursed by San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E), the local utility
provider, through what is called the 20A Program (Program).
This Program allocates funds to the City of Carlsbad each year for undergrounding projects that
comply with the procedures established in the 20A Program guidelines and the city's Ordinance
on underground utility districts, Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 11.08, included as Attachment
A. City Council Policy No. 41, Policy on Undergrounding Overhead Utilities, is included as
Attachment B.
This funding falls far short of what it would cost the city to complete the work.
The costs of putting telecommunications and cable television wiring underground are paid by the
respective utility companies in conjunction with the undergrounding of the electrical lines.
How projects were identified
The City Council created an Underground Utility Advisory Committee (Committee) in 2001 to
provide an overview of the work required to put the city's overhead utility lines underground.

The Committee consulted the Rule 20 Agreement with SDG&E, the city's Ordinance on
undergrounding utilities and an inventory of the overheard utilities in the city. The inventory
identified about 38 miles of roadways with overhead utility lines.
The Committee then established a scoring system that was used to develop a priority list for the
overhead utility lines to be moved underground. The Committee's report, which is included as
Attachment C, includes the results of this prioritization process.
Discussion
Existing Conditions
The current estimate of roadways in Carlsbad with overhead utilities is about 35 miles. The
estimated cost to put overhead utilities underground is about $2 million per mile, so the
estimated cost to underground the remaining overhead utilities in Carlsbad would be about $70
million.
The annual 20A Program allocation to the City of Carlsbad is typically less than $100,000 per
year; this year, it was $82,265.
Currently the city has an available balance of $1,059,694 in its 20A Program Fund. This money
has already been designated for a project to move the overhead electrical utilities near Valley
Middle School and Magnolia Elementary School underground (Capital Improvement Program
Project No. 6019).
Funding Alternatives
In response to an obvious shortfall in 20A funding, the City Council approved a project in the
fiscal year 2016-17 Capital Improvement Program (Project No. 6083 Utility Undergrounding
Program Study) to investigate and analyze funding alternatives. This project is included in the
current fiscal year 2019-20 Capital Improvement Program with $100,000 in funding set aside for
, the study. Work on this project has not yet started due to staff resourcing capacity.

BACKGROUND:
The State Public Utilities Commission has adopted Rule 20A which provi-
des that certain funds are set aside each year by San Diego Gas and
Electric to pay for undergrounding existing overhead electric
facilities. Rule 20A also sets out certain guidelines in selecting
areas to be undergrounded. · ·
currently the City has no policy on selecting or prioritizing under-
grounding projects. Recent history suggests that the guidelines con-
tained in Rule 20A have not always been followed. The City Council
has indicted they wish to change the way projects have been selected.
PURPOSE:
To establish a policy which is consistent with Rule 20A and which also
expresses other policy considerations desired by the city Council.
POLICY:
I. The proposed undergrou:nding shall be in the general public
interest for one or more of the following reasons:
1. Such undergrounding will eliminate an unusually heavy concent-
ration of overhead utility facilities.
2. The street is extensively used by the general public and
carries a heavy volume of pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
3. The street adjoins or passes through a civic area, public
recreation area or an area of unusual scenic interest to the

CITY OF CARLSBAD
REPORT OF THE
2001 UNDERGROUND UTILITY ADVISIORY COMMITTEE
The goal of the committee was to maintain a pro-active position on the undergrounding of
utilities and establish a four-year priority list for the Rule 20A Funding Program, which is a
program instituted by· the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) in 1983 that requires
the San Diego Gas and Electric Company (SDG&E) to fund the replacement of its existing
overhead electric facilities with underground facilities.
PURPOSE OF REPORT
This report will provide information on the following:
► Review the background and policies of the 20A funding program
► Provide the current fiscal status of the City's 20A funds
► Describe the formation and purpose of the Underground Utility Advisory Committee
► Tdentify priority projects to be undergrounded with 20A funds
THE 20A FUNDNG PROGRAM BACKGROUND
In 1983, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) instituted the Rule 20A Funding
Program, attached as Appendix A, which provides that certain funds are set aside each year by
San Diego Gas and Electric Company (SDG&E) to pay for the undergrounding of existing utility
lines. The amount of money Carlsbad receives each year is based on a formula derived from ·
the number of overhead service meters in the City of Carlsbad in proportion to the number of
overhead service meters throughout tl'le SDG&E service area.
Rule 20A states that SDG&E will replace the existing overhead electric· facilities with
underground facilities after the City of Carlsbad has:
"Determined, after consultation with the utility company, and after holding public
hearings on the subject, that such undergrounding is in the general public
interest for one or more ofthe following reasons:
• Such undergrounding will avoid or eliminate an unusually heavy
concentration of overhead utilities.
• The street or road right-of-way is extensively used by the general public and
carries a heavy volume of pedestrian or vehicular traffic and:
• 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."

(
( J
(,
The 20A funding program covered most of the cost for undergrounding the SDG&E lines within
the public right-of-way including both design and construction. In addition, Pacific Bell and
Daniels Cablevision undergrounded their lines in the area (if applicable) at no cost to the City.
The funding did not, however, cover the cost for the customer service side undergrounding from
the end of the street public right-of-way to the customers service point. That cost was borne by
the property owner. This presented a financial burden to the property owners, which at times
could deter areas of the City from becoming part of an underground conversion program.
In 1999, the CPUC revised the· 20A funding policy to include the cost of undergrounding from
Jhe right-of-way to the customer service box, if the governing City elected to include the
provision in the contract.· Although each · project should be evaluated separately prior to
incorporating the new policy, the possibility of eliminating the service installation. cost to the
property owners will promote/increase the acceptance of the project by the property owners.
CURRENT FISCAL STATUS OF 20A FUNDS
Each year SDG&E makes an allocation of their total budget for Rule 20A to each city and
county. The allocation to the City of Carlsbad in the calendar year 2001 amounted to $204,453.
In addition, there was an allocation balance of $42,902 as of December 31, 2000. Therefore,
the total amount currently available is $247,355.
It is possible for the City to borrow up to two years in advance on the future 20A funds.
Since approximately $200,000 will be available to the City each calendar year, approximately
$400,000 can be advanced and added.to the $247,355 which is on hand. ·
The current cost for utility undergrounding is estimated by SDG&E at one million dollars
($1,000,000) per mile or one hundred ninety ($190) dollars per foot. This would allow the City to
· currently plan a project for undergrounding approximately 3,400 feet ($647,355/$190 per ft.).
CITY OF CARLSBAD UNDERGROUND UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
In 1977, prior to the activation of the_ 20Afunding program, the City formed an Underground
Utility Advisory Committee (1977 UUAC) to evaluate and recommend a sequenced program of
undergrounding using City funds as they became available. Early programs focused on the
downtown area to enhance the commercial locations.
The 1977 UUAC was recalled following the passage of the 20A funding program and
established a priority list of projects from the criteria recommended by the CPUC funding
program. The 1977 UUAC was made up of the following, the Planning Director,
the City Engineer, the Housing and Redevelopment Director, the . Utilities and Maintenance ·
Director and Representatives from SDG&E, Pacific Bell and Daniels Cablevision, and one
citizen appointed by the Mayor and City Council.
The 1977 UUAC developed and Council adopted an addition to the City of Carlsbad's Municipal
Code . entitled "Underground Utility Districts" as described in Chapter 11.08 of the code,
which remains in effect today and is attached as Appendix B. ·
A series of meetings and field trips made by 1977 UUAC members produced a priority list of
streets for future underground districts based on the criteria as referenced in the 20A
documentation.

'··
Project areas from the 1977 UUAC priority list completed in the 1980's and .1990's include
portions of:
• Carlsbad Boulevard and Cannon Road
• State Street and Laguna Drive
• Monroe Street, Valley Street and Chestnut Street
Project areas from the 1977 UUAC priority list that have not been completed include:
• Harding Street from Carlsbad Village Drive to Magnolia Street
• Roosevelt Street from Carlsbad Village Drive to Magnolia Street
The last recorded meeting of the 1977 UUAC was in February of 1994 at which time Garfield
Street was recommended as the next project due to the Hubbs~Sea World Development.
Although the area was not on the priority list, the project created the need for additional electric
service capacity in the area. The SDG&E representative verified the need for additional capa~ity
could be accomplished by upgrading the electrical system when undergrounding the area.
The 1977 UUAC members elected to move the project forward.
The last underground project to be completed from the 1977 UUAC recommended list was the
Monroe StreeWalley Street, Chestnut Avenue area in 1997. Upon completion of the project,
all 20A funds had been depleted.
On January 29, 2001 the. Underground Utility Advisory Committee (2001 UUAC) was
reconvened since the existing 20A fund balance is now sufficient to start planning for new
projects. The remaining projects on the 1977 UUAC priority list were selected using the original
criteria, however new evaluations are now in order.
To facilitate this ~valuation, the following steps were initiated:
• Gordon Baker, Council's citizen appointee to the 1977 UUAC, agreed to attend the 2001
UUAC meetings. ·
• Lance Schulte is an additional Member-at-Large, who had been appointed to the 1977
UUAC but, due to the inactivity of the Committee during previous years, had not been
called to serve.
• The foilowing City staff members agreed to be representatives of the 2001 UUAC:

The 2001 UUAC had five meetings, which are summarized in Appendix C. The following steps
have been taken:
• Identified and prioritized future undergrounding areas/projects as shown in Appendix D.
• Prepared a boundary map for the first priority projects as shown in Appendix E.
• Utilized the City map of overhead utility locations, as shown in Appendix F, to coordinate
with all of the utility companies.
• Held field trips with the utility companies and City staff representatives for area reviews.
• Discussed additional needs and concerns of priority areas to be included in the program.
Although portions of two streets from a previous priority list established in the nineteen eighties
had not undergone the 20A. utility conversion, the 2001 UUAC was in favor of a new priority list
being created with all streets with overhead utilities .to be included in a priority rated point
system inventory that would lead to a four-year priority list.
An inventory list of all streets in the City with overhead utility lines was completed with a
combination of existing records and field trips for conformation. The completed list showed a
total of 37.04 miles of overhead utility lines in the public street right-of-way.
PRIORITY POINT SYSTEM
The formatting of a priority list point system for the completed inventory became the most
discussed and time consuming project for the 2001 UUAC to undertake.
The first consideration was the criteria the CPUC had instituted for use of 20A funding, which
included the following criteria:
• Elimination of an unusually heavy concentration of overhead utilities.
• The street carries a heavy volume of pedestrian and/or vehicular (Average Daily Trips
· (ADT).
• The street passes through a civic area, public recreation area, or area of scenic interest.
The use of the ADT factor necessitated breaking down the streets into block-by-l?lock segments
to adhere to the City ADT record system.
The 2001 UUAC agreed on an assignment of two to five points per street segment for each of
the CPUC conditions.
The second consideration for the use of priority points was adopted from past considerations
that previous 1977 UUAC had employed in selecting 20A funded projects. They were:
• The street is projected to be within that of a future Capital Improvement Project (CIP).
• The street lies within a business district.
• The street is favored by the 2001 UUAC.
These three additional items were assigned two to five points each.
4
I I
(
(
C.
There were two additional factors that the Committee adopted to impact .the priority street
selection. One was the decision to exclude, for the present, segments of dead end or cul-de-sac
streets. The second exclusion involved streets that had recently been established as "Alternate
Design Streets" (ADS) in a report adopted by the City Council. The report was the result of the
findings and recommendations produced by a City Council-approved Alternate Street Design
Committee. The reasons for exclusion of the ADS at the current time included lack of ultimate
right-of-ways and fack of right-of-way improvements which would present problems in
undergrounding dry utility lines.
· The completed priority list required extended field trips by City staff prior to completion in a
computer-generated format. A copy· of the list with the priority point system co.mpleted and
formulated was mailed to 2001 UUAC members to enable them to review and contribute their
changes, additions and revisions. A copy of the Priority List is attached as Exhibit D.
The 2001 UUAC felt the point system worked well in selecting the next streets to be considered
for the underground program with the exception of three street segments, which had high point
ratings, namely Carlsbad Boulevard between the· northerly City boundary and two portions of
El Camino Real. The El Camino Real segments were eliminated from the first priority projects
due to the high cost of und~rgrounding and the uncertainty of future CIP project limits.
Carlsbad Boulevard was also eliminated as a priority street, for the present,· due to
environmental concerns. ·
Since two of the remaining top priority streets were located within the same area of the City,
a Priority Area Boundary Map; attached as Exhibit E, was adopted for a four-year Underground
Planning Program.
The City's SDG&E Government Liaison representative recommended a field trip of the selected
priority area to evaluate feasibility and cost. A field trip to the area verified two conclusions:
• The Priority Area Boundary Map was adopted by the Committee as a four-year projected
project area with Harding Street from Carlsbad Village Drive to Palm and Roosevelt
Street from Carlsbad Village Drive to Magnolia Street to enter the SDG&E design stage
at the same time. Due to the right-of-way encroachments and number of single-family
service conversions on Roosevelt Street, the SDG&E representative indicated that the
street would take twice the time to design as Harding Street.
• Carlsbad Boulevard would be eliminated as a priority street, for the present, due to the
obvious environmental concerns.
CONCLUSIONS
The 2001 UUAC determined that the first priority projects should be as follows:
• Harding Street from Carlsbad Village Drive to Palm Avenue.
• Roosevelt Street from Carlsbad Village Drive to Magnolia Street.
Segments of both Harding Street and Roosevelt Street did not receive the highest priority points
in Appendix D. However, the 2001 UUAC decided that it was important to complete the links in
a high priority area.
5
I
I
(
(
The boundary for this first priority undergrounding district is shown in Appendix E. It includes
undergrounding the overhead facilities on several side streets along Harding Street and
Roosevelt Street, since these facilities are an integral part of the existing overhead facilities on
both Harding Street and Roosevelt Street. Building permits issued by the City within this ·
bou~dary, prior to the propose~ undergrounding, will be required to provide for future
underground service to the structure.
The current timeframe given by SDG&E for preliminary design, final design, coordination with
other overhead utilities and preparation of final contracting documents is two years.
Construction will require an additional ye~u fot a total completion time of three years for
Harding Street plus an additional year for Roosevelt Street, for a total completion time of four
years,.due to the many easements involved. on private properties fronting on Roosevelt Street.
Since the 20A funds cover only the utilities underground construction, the City needs to budget
for other standard improvements such as an upgraded street lighting system and staff overhead
during the two year design period. These other standard improvements will be proposed for
inclusion in the Fiscal Year 2002-2003 Capital Improvement Program Budget.

APPENDIXC
MEETING SUMMARIES OF THE 2001 .
UNDERGROUND UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
FIRST MEETING
The Underground Utility Advisory Committee was re-convened on January 29, 2001, which was
the first scheduled meeting of the Committee since February of 1994. The following members
and attendees were present:
• Citizen at Large, Gordon Baker
• Planning Director, Michael Holzmiller
• Housing & Redevelopment Director, Debbie Fountain
• Deputy City Engineer, Transportation, Bob Johnson
• Engineering Consultant, Galen Peterson
• Engineering Technician, Liviu Rosu
• Administrative Coordinator, Virginia McCoy -Chair
• SDG&E Government Liaison, Dennis Buss
• Pacific Bell Liaison, Benny Pepe
• Adelphia (Daniels) Cablevision Liaison, Larry ~uthrie
A background report covering the 20A funding program was sent to the attendees prior to this
meeting (attached to this report as Exhibit A) to bring them up-to-date on past program
activities, current funding availability and to suggest a future goal/work program for the
Committee.
This first meeting set the scope of work for future meetings. The original intent of the Committee
facilitator was to complete the former 20A priority list from 1988, which included portions of
Roosevelt Street and Harding Street. Slides of the two streets were shown focusing on the
overhead utility line~.
Group discussion followed the slide presentation and focused on the time lapse since the former
priority list was prepared. This was followed by the Committee's unanimous decision that a
complete inventory of all streets in the City with overhead utilities was needed prior to any
selection that could be made for the next street to benefit· from the SDG&E financed 20A
Underground Program.
The Committee requested that a new City map be prepared showing all streets with overhead
utilities accompanied by a point-focused priority chart for the overhead serviced streets.
Point criteria for the chart would include ADT's, and related CIP data. It was agreed that streets
included on the recently completed "Alternate Design Standards" list would be included on the
map and priority list for inventory purposes but due to right-of-way needs for undergrounding,
may not qualify for the 20A funded program.
Bob Johnson discussed an item from the City Traffic Safety Commission. The Commission had
heard a request from a Carlsbad citizen to evaluate the status of the undergrounding of the
overhead utilities in front of Jefferson School on Jefferson Street between Tamarack Avenue
and Magnolia Street. The decision of the Committee was to include the area on the priority list
and allow the point system to determine the priority order.

SECOND MEETING
The second meeting was held on February 26, 2001. In attendance were:
• Michael Holzmiller • Debbie Fountain • Bob Johnson • Gordon ·Baker • Lance Schulte • Galen Peterson • Liviu Rosu • Virginia McCoy
Lance Schulte is an additional Member-at-Large, who had been appointed to the Committee in
1997 but, due to the inactivity of the Committee during previous years, had not been called to
serve.
A draft of the priority chart was produced listing all overhead utility servicecl streets with ADT's
and street segment lengths. City maps had been prepared delineating all overhead serviced
streets, previously 20A funded underground project areas and all "Alternate Design Standard"
designated streets.
The focus of the meeting centered on additional information that should be added to the priority
chart for each street segment to assure a better priority-rated selection. The Committee's
decision was to include the following items to the chart, with each item to include a certain
number of point's to determine the priority for each street segment.
• • • • •
Concentration of overhead
Traffic volumes
Civic, recreation, and/or scenic corridor adjacent to overhead lines
Business District, CIP and Committee judgment point assignments
Street lengths
In addition, segments of streets terminating with a cul-de-sac would be considered low priority_
and placed in the same category as ADS streets.

Dennis Buss gave the 20A funding update and corresponding timeframe. In summary, the
update informed the Committee that the City had accumulated about $245,000 and with the
current 20A disbursement policy would continue to acquire approximately $200,d00 per year.
With the timeframe of two years estimated as the time span between preliminary planning and
start of construction, the City should target a priority area and establish at least a five-year
planning-through-construction project program. Estimated cost for future projects should be
estimated at. $2P0 p~r_ fro11t f9ot __ of _µtility undergn:>Unding. __ Th~ ce>s_t of_ th~ E!lectric
undergrounding will be covered by 20A funds. Pacific Bell and cablevision liries that share the -
SDG&E poles will be placed underground by the agencies at no cost to the City. City General
Funds will pay any public street appendages that need to be added, such as street lights ~nd
sign replacements. ·
The completed priority charts were distributed and related maps were displayed for review
by the Committee. The Committee reviewed and approved both the completeness of the
priority-point system and the result oriented ability to target a future priority area.
The Committee approved the priority chart listing; attached as Exhibit B. The listing produced a
general area with the highest points for further investigation. This general area is located
between Carlsbad Village Drive on the north, Palm Avenue on the south, Roosevelt Street on
the west and Interstate 5 on the east.
. . '
With funding availability and agreement on the general priority area, the Committee's next step
in the selection process was a field trip to the priority area to investigate realistic implementation
possibilities.
FOURTH MEETING - A FIELD TRIP
The Committee met at the Harding Center on August 6, 2001. The following parties were
present:
• Dennis Buss • Gordon Baker • Lance Schultz • Bob Johnson • Galen Peterson • Lori Rosenstein • Liviu Rosu • Virginia McCoy
Dennis Buss distributed SDG&E maps of the general priority area that the Committee had
chosen. The maps showed all overhead and underground electrical service lines, vaults,
transformers and property services. City staff furnished individual parcel type maps for individual
property identification and field notes.
The group walked the Harding Street frontage and discussed underground construction
requirements, feasibility of undergrounding certain structures and cost of undergrounding.
A van was provided for the remainder of the field trip in order to view the entire priority area.
The-van trip continued to Carlsbad Boulevard from the northerly City bound~ry to its merge with
State Street. This area had the-highest number of priority points, but due to potential ground
water problems and unknown environmental impacts, the Committee chose to exclude this area
from the present list of undergrounding projects; _ ·

As a result of the field trip, the Committee tentatively agreed that Harding Street would be the -
first project on the priority list with two portions .of Roosevelt Street to follow. After the field trip,
Dennis Buss provided preliminary cost estimates for the first three priority areas as follows:
• Harding Street from Carlsbad Village Drive to Avocado Lane including portions of
Pine Avenue to the west and Chestnut Avenue to the east and west =· $400,000.
• Roosevelt Street from Carlsbad Village Drive to Chestnut Avenue including portions of
Pine Avenue to the east = $325,000 .
. • Roosevelt Street from Chestnut Avenue to Magnolia Avenue = $150,000. ·
A map of these three areas considered as the first priorities in a five-year plan is attached _as
Exhibit C.
It is recommended that the City adopt this five-year plan of undergrounding with 20A funds and
begin final design to implement the plan.
FIFTH MEETING
The Fifth Meeting was held on Monday, September 24, 2001 in Room 257 of the Faraday
Center. The following parties were present.
• Michael Holzmiller* • Debbie Fountain* • Lori Rosenstein . • Bob Johnson* • Liviu Rosu • Virginia McCoy • Galen Peterson • Gordon Baker* • Lance Schulte
*Voting Members
The meeting was called to order at 10:05 a.m.
The meeting began with a discussion of the field trip. The area. as outlined on a pre-delineated
boundary map was approved unanimously as the proposed boundary for a five-year priority
20A funded underground program. In general, the area is bounded by Carlsbad Village Drive to
the north, Tyler to the west, Tamarack to the south and 1-5 to the east. The first two streets to
be selected in order are Harding Street from Carlsbad Village Drive to Palm Avenue and
Roosevelt Street from Carlsbad Village Drive to Magnolia. ·
The meeting continued with a discussion on the Underground Priority List and the point system
used for prioritizing the streets. The intent of the priority chart was to give priority points in
varying amounts for certain criteria that would rate the streets in a high point format for the
20A underground program schedule. In following the highest point format, the first two streets
on the list were Carlsbad Boulevard from the north city limits to State Street, and El Camino
Real between Chestnut Boulevard and Tamarack Avenue and a portion of Hosp Way and
Carlsbad Village Drive.

(_
The two streets presented problems as future 20A undergrounding projects. Due to .the
proximity to the Buena Vista Lagoon, Carlsbad Boulevard would pose a number of
environmental issues. The cost factor involved in undergrounding El Camino Real, classified as
an arterial street, would limit the length of the area to undergo the utility conversion and only a
small portion of the street would show improvement. In addition, an upcoming CIP project has
been scheduled for the arterial, which could include the undergrounding of the utility lines as an
. element of theCIP.
A discussion ensued ih regard to placing Harding Street alone as number one on the priority list
and placing Roosevelt Street as number two since Roosevelt Street residents have individually
and as a group requested and anticipated improvements to their street, including enhanced
appearance and additional street lighting for a continued period of time.
Dennis Buss, our SDG&E Government Liaison, explained .that a number of single-family units
on Roosevelt would require both the design and construction of underground services from
the public right-of-way to their home service and the required home service. conversions.
Also, a number of the homes have walls, fences, stairs and landscaping encroaching into the
public right-of-way that would require negotiations, relocations and possible removal to install
the underground services. In addition to adding to the cost of the project, the time factors for
negotiating with the property owners ori the relocations would slow down the project
considerably. ·
On the other hand, Harding Street has fewer residents thus fewer home service conversions
that would involve adjacent right-of-way relocations. The SDG&E design and construction
elements would move much faster and the visual enhancement would be apparent in
approximately half the time.
Rather than use references of Priority Number I and Priority Number II for the streets,
Buss suggested the use of 1.A for Harding and 1 B for Roosevelt with both streets starting the
SDG&E design phase at the same time. While the construction phase is taking place on
Harding, the negotiations for relocations on Roosevelt could be in process.
The Committee was in favor of the Phase 1A, Phase 1 B approach and felt the Roosevelt Street
residents/property owners would . be conciliated knowing their street was in design for the
undergrounding process.
The next agenda item presented to the Committee was a request for comments, corrections and
additions to the draft of this report. All attendees had received the draft in an earlier mailing.
No major additions were brought forward and the report was _accepted as written.
The Committee, with the assistance of Buss, then discussed the. next steps to be taken prior to
entry into the SDG&E design phase which would consist of an additional field trip of the Priority
area with other impacted· utilities. The Committee was informed the field trip would confirm the
final underground design and where possible could take in additional portions of intersecting
streets where feasible.
At the close of the meeting, the voting Committee members handed in forms with their priority
choices and additional comments regarding the reasons for the selections. One committee
member added Jefferson Street between Magnolia Avenue and Tamarack Avenue as an
· additional priority. SDG&E Liaison Buss reported he was working on negotiations with the
Capital Improvement Project (CIP) team regarding power pole relocations for the identified
Jefferson Street portion with design to begin in the near future. Since the street portion lies
within the 20A Priority Area Boundary, no further action was taken and the Priority Boundary
Line will include Jefferson Street pending future CIP construction plans.

With all issues pertaining to the Five-Year 20A Underground Priority List brought forward,
· discussed and unanimously agreed upon, the Committee discussed the future procedures
necessary to bring forth the first priority areas for City Council approval.
Following the agreed upon format for action, the Committee was adjourned at 11 :45 a.m.
UNDERGROUND UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE PLAN OF ACTION
• This report will be forwardeQ to the Leadership Team for their approval prior to Council
action.
• The Committee Consultant and Chair have met with SDG&E, Pacific Bell,
and Adelphia Cable representatives and executed a field trip of the Priority Area for

electric facilities along public streets and roads, and on public lands and private property across
which rights-of-way satisfactory to the utility have been obtained by the Utility, provided that:
1. The governing body of the city or county in which such electric facilities are and will be
located has:
a. Determined, after consultation with the Utility and after holding public hearings on
the subject, that such undergrounding is in the general public interest for one or
more of the following reasons:
(1) Such undergrounding will 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 carries a heavy volume of pedestrian or vehiculadraffic;
(3) . Wheelchair access is limited or impeded;
(4) 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;

budgeted amount for undergrounding provided in 1989 were allocated as
follows:
(a) Fifty percent of the budgeted amount allocated in the same ratio
that the number of overhead meters in any city or the
unincorporated area of any county bears to the total system
overhead meters; and
(b) Fifty percent of the budgeted amount allocated in the same ratio
that the total number of meters in any city or the unincorporated
area of any county bears to the total system meters.
Except as provided in Section 2.c., the amount allocated for undergrounding within
any city or the unincorporated area of any county in 1991 and later years shall use
the amount actually allocated to the city or county in 1990 as the base, and any
changes from the 1990 level in the Utility's total annual budgeted amount for
undergrounding shall be allocated to individual cities .and counties as follows:
(1) Fifty percent of the change from the 1990 total budgeted amount shall be
allocated in the same ratio that the number of overhead meters in any city or
unincorporated area of any county bears to the total system overhead
meters.
(2) Fifty percent of the change from the 1990 total budgeted amount shall be
allocated in the same ratio that the total number of meters in any city or the
unincorporated area of any county bears to the total system meters.
When a city incorporates, resulting iri a transfer of Utility meters from the
unincorporated area of a county to the city, there shall be a permanent transfer of a
prorata portion of the county's 1990 allocation base referred to in Section 2.b. to the
city. The amount transferred shall be determined:
(1) Fifty percent based on the ratio that the number of overhead meters in the
city bears to the total system overhead meters; and
(2) Fifty percent based on the ratio that the total number of meters in the city
bears to the total system meters.
When territory is annexed to ari existing city, it shall be the responsibility of
the city and county affected, in consultation with the utility serving the
territory, to agree upon an amount of the 1990 .allocation base that will be
transferred from the county to the city; and thereafter to jointly notify the

d. However, Section 2 a, b and c shall not apply to any Utility where the total amount
available for allocation under Rule 20-A is equal to or greater than 1.5 times the
previous year's statewide average on a per customer basis. In such cases, the
Utility's total annual budgeted amount for undergrounding within any city or the
unincorporated area of any county shall be allocated in the same ratio that the
number of overhead meters in the city or unincorporated area of any county bears to
the total system overhead meters.
e. Upon request by a city or county, the amounts allocated may be exceeded for each
city or county by an amount up to a maximum of five years' allocation at then-current
levels where (the Utility) establishes that participation on a project is warranted and
resources are available. Such aBocated amounts may be carried over for a
reasonable period of time in communities with active undergrounding programs. In
order to qualify as a community with an active undergrounding program the
governing body must have adopted an ordinance or ordinances creating an
underground district and/or districts as set forth in Section A.1.b. of this Rule.
Where there is a carry-over or additional requested participation, as discussed
above, the Utility has the right to set, as determined by its capability, reasonable
limits on the rate· of performance of the work to be financed by the funds carried
over. When amounts are not expended or carried over for the community, to which
they are initially allocated, they shall be assigned when additional participation on a
project is warranted or be reallocated to communities with active undergrounding
programs.
3. The undergrounding extends for a minimum distance of one block or 600 feet, whichever is
the lesser.
Upon request of the governing body, the Utility will pay from the existing allocation of that
entity for:
a. The installation of no more than 100 feet of each customer's underground electric
service lateral occasioned by the undergrounding; and/or
b. The conversion of a customer's meter panel to accept underground service
occasioned by the undergrounding, excluding permit fees.
The Utility or the governing body may establish a lesser allowance, or may otherwise limit
the amount of money to be expended on a single customer's electric service, or the total
amount to be expended on all electric service installations in a particular project.
4. The Utility may, at its sole discretion, enter into agreements with a governing body of a city
or county to reduce the amount of funding for undergrounding of overhead facilities (see .
Form 142-1659). The governing body will, at the time of entry into the agreement, be
entitled to an agreement for a minimum of one (1) year or as long as five (5) years. Upon
entry into the agreement, any specific projects that the governing body and the Utility have
previously agreed to will not be subject to . the agreement. Any expenses incurred by the
Utility due to performance of agreements, as set forth in this sub-section, shall be booked as
normal Utility expenses.
