SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR FUNDING FOR PROPOSED UNDERGROUND
ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 95 (AREA BOUNDED BY: L STREET,
BALBOA BOULEVARD, CHANNEL ROAD AND OCEAN BOULEVARD)
RECOMMENDATION
Approve a budget amendment authorizing an advance from the General Fund in the
amount of $105,500.00 to Assessment District No. 95 and appropriate $80,500.00 to
74095 -9810 for SCE electric design and $25,000.00 to 74095 -9811 for SBC phone

DISCUSSION:
The property owners of Proposed Underground Assessment District No. 95 have
submitted petitions to the City requesting a special Assessment District be formed to
finance and underground overhead utilities. The boundaries of the proposed District are
shown on the attached Exhibit "A ".
One of the initial steps in the District formation process is the circulation of the Petition for
Special Assessment Proceedings. Proponents of the District circulated a petition to the
property owners and have submitted the signed petition to the City. The Assessment
Engineer has certified the petitions, which represent 67 percent (67 %) of the assessable
area of property within the boundaries of the proposed Assessment District. The City's
guidelines require a minimum of 60 percent (60 %) in favor of the District in order to proceed
with the formation of a District.
Southern California Edison (SCE) and SBC Communications, Inc. (SBC) are responsible
for the design of their utilities. In order to initiate the design of these facilities, the City
must remit $80,500.00 to SCE and $25,000.00 to SBC. The utility design costs will be
reimbursed to the City by the District if it is formed at the final Public Hearing. However,
the funds will not be recovered if the District is not formed. The City Council has
previously authorized the advancements of funds for other districts.
Environmental Review:
