proposed boundaries of a district for converting existing
overhead ut i 1 i ties along Fo urth Avenue from "G" to "H" Street to
underground. After a field trip by the committee reviewing the

ITEM TITLE:
RECOMMENDATION: That Council set a public hearing to be held at
7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers on May 19,1981, in accordance
with Section 15.32.130 of the City of Chula Vista Municipal Code
for the formation of an underground utility district along Fourth
Avenue from "G" Street to "H" Street.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The underground Utility Advisory Committee, at its meeting on
March 18, 1981, discussed possible undergrounding projects for
1982. It was the Committee's consensus that the best project at
this time would be the Fourth Avenue conversion from "G" Street
to "H" Street. Factors considered on this decision were as
follows:
1. Fund availability
The City's share of SDG&E Co. allocation funds for 1981 will
amount to about $412,000. However, City "owes" about
$45,000 on the Fourth Aveue conversion from "F" Street to
"G" Street and about $120,000 on the Bonita Road conversion
project. Leaving about $247,000 for funding a project such
as the proposed conversion.
2. Importance of job
This project was considered important because it will
complete the undergrounding of the major streets serving the
Town Centre Area I and Area II. We have completed the
undergrounding of "H" Street, Third Avenue, "F" Street
(between Church Avenue and the Civic Center), and Fourth
Avenue from "E'" Street to "G" Street.

3. Future Ci ty proj ects
We anticipate that Fourth Avenue between "G" and "H" Streets
is in need of pavement overlay. It would be good planning
to do the undergrounding project prior to this proposed
overlay.
The proposed underg round
between "G" Street and
allocation from San Diego
utility district for Fourth
"H" Street will be paid for
Gas & Electric Co.
Avenue
by an
Section 15.32.130 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code specifies
that City Council set a public hearing to ascertain whether the
public health, safety and general welfare requires the
undergrounding of existing overhead utilities within designated
areas of the City and to give the persons the opportunity to
speak in favor or against the formation of a proposed district to
underground utilities. The purpose of forming the district is to
require property owners to change their electrical wiring to
receive underground electrical service.
Section 15.32.140 requires that the City Clerk notify all
affected persons and each utility company of the time and place
of the public hearing at least 15 days prior to the date of the
public hearing. Notice shall be given by mail to all property
owners and occupants of property located within the boundaries of
the proposed district. The City Clerk is required by this
section of the code to publish the resolution of intention,
setting the public hearing in the local newspaper no less than 5
days prior to the date of the public hearing.
A slide is available showing the proposed boundary of the
district.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of undergrounding utilities along Fourth
Avenue from "G" Street to "H" Street will be funded from
accumulated alloctions from San Diego Gas & Electric. Co. There
will be no direct use of City funds. Adequate funds are
available for the undergrounding of this project.
