ITEM TITLE Public Hearing - Consideration of Establishing Underground

Resolution 8812- Establishing Underground Utilit District on
Third Avenue From "G" Street to "K" Street
SUBMITTED BY Director of Public Works/City Engineer I~
ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES NO x )
On August 9, 1977, by Resolution 8763, the City Council ordered a public
hearing to be held on September 13, 1977 to determine whether public
necessity, health, safety or welfare required the formation of an under-
ground utility district on Third Avenue between "G" Street and "K" Street.
Formation of the district will require that the owners of property within
the district convert their electrical service connection to receive under-
ground facilities on a date to be set in the future. The cost of con-
verting the electric service connection will be borne by the property
owner.
The Director of Public Works, subsequent to the formation of the district
by the City Council, will submit to the City Council a resolution setting
the date for property owners to be ready to receive underground facilities
and removal of poles in accordance with the Chula Vista City Code. The
submission of the resolution to set the date will occur after receipt
of San Diego Gas & Electric's scheduling for the project by the Director
of Public Works.
The undergrounding of the utilities along Third Avenue from "G" to "H"
Street and from "I" to "K" Streets will be type "A" districts. That is,
the cost of undergrounding the utilities will be funded out of the funds
allocated by San Diego Gas & Electric Company. The undergrounding of
the utilities along Third Avenue from "H" to "I" Street will be a Type "B"
district, that is, the County of San Diego will pay for the undergrounding
of these utilities as part of the overall development cost of the South
Bay Regional Center.

Item No . 6
Supplemental Page 2
Section 15.32.130 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code requires that the
City Council conduct a public hearing to ascertain whether the public
health, safety and general welfare requires the undergrounding of exist-
ing overhead utilities within designated areas of the City and to give
persons the opportunity to speak in favor of or against the formation of
a proposed district to underground utilites.
On June 14, 1977, the City Council by Resolution Number 8668 approved
a revised 5-year utility Undergrounding Program for calendar years
1978 through 1982. The undergrounding along Third Avenue from "G" Street
to "K" Street is in the calendar year 1978 program. The undergrounding
of utilities along Third Avenue will precede the widening of Third Ave-
nue from "G" Street to "K" Street. The widening and reconstruction
of Third Avenue is scheduled for construction during fiscal year 1978-79
as it appears in the 6-year Capital Improvment Program as submitted by
Staff and approved by the City Council.
The Director of Public Works, within two weeks, will be submitting a
report to the City Council informing as to the scope, scheduling and
financing of the Third Avenue reconstruction and widening project.
A transparency is available for Council viewing.
