This phase involves the renovation of Building 300 (the old Police Station). In order to complete this renovation it is necessary to grant easements to San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) for the installation of new utilities. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the proposed project was adequately covered in previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration IS-Ol-017. Thus, no further environmental review or documentation is necessary. RECOMMENDATION That Council adopt the Resolution granting the necessary easements to San Diego Gas & Electric and authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the necessary Easement Deed. BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. 2-1 DISCUSSION SDG&E will provide a new electrical service for the Civic Center Renovation project under the provisions of Electrical Rule 16. This new electrical service will replace the existing underground electrical service and building transformer. Because the new service is not located within an existing easement, one must be granted to SDG&E prior to installation. This new service is currently scheduled to be installed within the next several months. 06/19/07, Ite~ Page 20[2 DECISION MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found a conflict exists, in that Deputy Mayor Rindone and Councilmember Castaneda have property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. FISCAL IMPACT There is no impact to the City's General Fund. The easement is being granted and the facilities installed as a part of the ongoing Civic Center Renovation Project (GG-300). Once complete, the facilities will be maintained by SDG&E. ATTACHMENTS 1.
