UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 12
April 2, 1991
At their meeting of April 1, 1991, the City Council of the City
of Tustin, California passed and adopted Resolution No. 91-45
calling for a public hearing at 7:00 P.M. on April 15, 1991, to
consider the merits of establishing an underground utility
district along Prospect Avenue between First Street and 289 feet,
more or less, north of Beneta Way, and more particularly
described and shown on Exhibit "A" attached hereto.
Meetings have been held with both the Southern California Edison
Company and Pacific Bell to determine the costs involved.
Continental Cable Systems has some overhead facilities within the
District, but per the terms of the city's -franchise agreement,
they will be required to underground these facilities at no cost
to the District. Funding will be provided by the Edison Company
with Rule 20A funds for their facilities and Pacific Bell will
provide funding for all of their company-owned facilities. The
City of Tustin will provide funding for five new street lights
which are not eligible for rule 20A funds. The estimated cost of
the proposed underground work is as follows::
Edison Company Cost for Conduit,
Structures, and Cable (Rule 20A) $300,000.00
City Cost for Street Lights . . . . . . . $5,000.00
Preliminary determination by the utility companies indicates that
there will be no property owner conversion expense.
Initial indications by the utility coinpanies are that their work
can be completed in 12 to 18 months.'
This District will provide for the removal of all wood utility
poles with overhead wires along both sides of Prospect Avenue
from First Street to 289 feet, more or less, north of Beneta Way
as follows:
Westerly Side of Prospect Avenue . . . . . . 1 ea.
Easterly Side of Prospect Avenue . . . . . 14 ea.
