ITEM TITLE Resolution 8818: Amending Resolution No. 7868 of the City Council,
Which Established an Underground Utility District on Main Street
and Otay Valley Road from Beyer Way to 2100 Feet E st of Hilltop
SUBMITTED BY DriDirector of Public Works/City Engineer ~/~ ~
ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES NO x )
On August 19, 1975, the City Council, by Resolution 7868, established
an underground utility district on Main Street and Otay Valley Road from
Beyer Way to 2100 feet east of Hilltop Drive. This undergrounding district
is a joint district between the City of Chula Vista and the County of
San Diego. All overhead facilities within the boundaries of the district
are being undergrounded in conjunction with the County's widening of
Main Street and Otay Valley Road, which is also a joint project between
the City and the County. The County of San Diego is financing the entire
cost of undergrounding from funds allocated to the County of San Diego
by San Diego Gas & Electric Company.
Preliminary plans prepared by San Diego Gas and Electric Company for the
conversion of the overhead facilities included the conversion of two over-
head crossings of Main Street in front of their substation east of Albany
Avenue. These two overhead crossings carry three 12 KV circuits. The
conversion of these two overhead crossings would eliminate two poles on
each side of Main Street. Poles No. 89452 and 89454 are located on the north
side of Main Street and are within the City of Chula Vista.
San Diego Gas & Electric Company has informed the County of San Diego that
their system planning department has a special budget project, scheduled
for 1979, which will reroute the above three mentioned 12 KV circuits.
The work planned by San Diego Gas & Electric Company will remove these
three overhead circuits crossing Main Street and will place them under-
ground into the Albany Avenue Station.

Supplemental Page 2
The County of San Diego is requesting that the City of Chula Vista exempt
the conversion of the three 12 KV circuits leading into the Albany Avenue
Station at this time and exempt the removal of the two poles lying within
the City of Chula Vista on the north side of Main Street. To exempt the
conversion of these three 12 KV circuits at this time and postpone
conversion until 1979 would result in a savings of approximately $45,000
of allocated County funds since San Diego Cas & Electric Company would bear
the entire cost of their conversion.
Engineering staff has reviewed the County of San Diego's request and finds
that it is appropriate at this time to exempt the conversion of the three
12 KV curcuits crossing Main Street and the removal of the two poles lying
within the City of Chula Vista. Approval of the County's request will
require an amendment to Resolution 7868, which established the underground
utility district for Main Street and Otay Valley Road. The amendment
need only exempt the conversion of the three 12 KV circuits crossing
Main Street which lead into the Albany Avenue Substation and the removal
of the two poles which lie within the City of Chula Vista.
