TO: WILLIAN HUSTON, CI~ MAILRGER
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARllqENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION
SUBJECT: FORMATION OF UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT NO. g,
FIRST STREET BETWEEN pROSPECT AVENUE AND NEWPORT AVENUE
RECO~NDATION:
That the City Council:
1.. Receive the City Engineer's Report dated 9/14/87.
2. Conduct the public hearing.
3. Adopt resolution establishing Underground Utility
District Ho. 9 and order the conversion.
4. Authorize supplemental appropriation from General
Fund monies in the amount of $1,000.
BACKGROUND:
On September 8, 1987, City Council adopted Resolution No. 87-98 which declared
its intention to form an underground utility district on First Street and set a
public hearing on the matter for 7:00 p.m. Wednesday, October 7, 1987.
A copy of this resolution and the City Engineer's Report have been furnished to
the three affected utility companies: Edison, Pacific Bell, and American Cable.
American Cable did not respond to our letters, but we do believe that they have
some overhead facilities on existing Edison poles. No private service
reconnections will be required, so there will be no costs to private property
owners.
ANALYSIS:
Twenty wood utility poles and 17 obsolete metal street light poles, all with
overhead wiring, will be removed. Eighteen new marbelite street light poles will
be installed.
Edison's cost is estimated at $375,000, to be paid for with Rule 20A funds set
aside for this purpose for the City of Tustin. The City's cost is estimated at
$1,000 to cover the additional street light. The work is anticipated to start
next January and to be completed by May 1, 1988.

CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT
FIRST STREET
UNDERGROUND~TRICT NO. 9
September 14, 1987
This report is prepared and filed pursuant to Article 7, Chapter 5
of the Tustin City Code.
At their meeting of September 8, 1987, the City Council of the City
of Tustin, California adopted Resolution No. 87-98 setting a public
hearing for 7:00 p.m. on October 7, 1987 to consider the merits of
establishing an underground utility district along First Street
between Prospect Avenue and Newport Avenue, 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 costs invo'ved. American
Cablevision has some overhead facilities within the district, but
per terms of the City's franchise agreement with American
Cablevision, they will be requi~ed to underground these facilities
at no cost to 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 one additional street light
which~ is not eligible for Rule 20A funds. The estimated cost of the
proposed underground work is as follows:
Edison Co. cost for conduit, structure
and cable (Rule 20A) .............................. $375,000
Pacific Bell cost for conduit,
structure and cable ............................... $ 15,000
City cost for one street light ..................... $ 1,000
There will be no property owner conversion expense. All other
existing private utility service lines are presently undergrounded
or are outside the proposed district.
-1-
Initial indications by the utility companies are that their work can be
completed six months from now, or about May 1, 1988.
This district will provide for the removal of all poles with overhead
wires along both sides of First Street between Prospect Avenue and
Newport Avenue. There will be 20 wooden power 'poles with overhead
wires and 17 obsolete metal street light poles ~th overhead wires
removed. There will be 18 new 'marbellte street ght poles installed
with underground wiring and 16,000 lumens high pressure sodium vapor
