DISCUSSION: On November 9, 2004, City Council appropriated $20,000 to Account No. 74092 -9811 from the General Fund for Assessment District No. 92 as a telephone design fee deposit to SBC Communications, now known as AT &T. Since then, the cost to design underground telephone lines has increased to $29,000.00. The Southern California Edison (SCE) electrical underground design is currently in the final phase of completion. In order to have AT &T begin the telephone design phase immediately after SCE has completed its design, the City must remit an additional $9,000 to AT &T. The design fee 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. The boundaries of the proposed District are shown on the attached Exhibit "A ". Environmental Review: This project qualifies for a Class 2 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exemption under Section 15302, item "d" of the Implementing Guidelines as follows: "Conversion of overhead electric utility distribution system facilities to underground including connection to existing overhead electric utility distribution lines where the surface is restored to the condition existing prior to the undergrounding."
