SUBJECT: NEWPORT/MCFADDEN AVENUE UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 10
,
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency, at their meeting of

included in the fiscal year 1988-89 budget for the additional street

BACKGROUND
On January 18, 1988, the Tustin City Council will conduct a public
hearing for the PUrpose of establishing an underground utility district
on Newport Avenue between Walnut Avenue and the Santa Ana Freeway, and
along McFadden Avenue between Newport and Walnut Avenues.
Pacific Bell and American Cable Systems will underground their
facilities at no cost to the district. Edison Company funding will. be
provided by Rule 20A funds for their company owned facilities. The City
of Tustin or the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency will provide
funding for eight additional street lights and approximately 200 feet of
conduit which are not eligible for Rule 20A funds. There are three
properties within the district which will require conversion of their
overhead services to underground facilities.
DISCUSSION:
Being as this district is located within the South Central Redevelopment
Agency, it is recommended that Redevelopment Agency funds be provided to
cover the costs of the additional street lights and underground conduit.
It is also recommended that redevelopment funds be utilized for the
· three on-site service conversions rather than inflicting these costs
upon the property owners. The estimated costs are detailed as follows:
