STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
It is recommended that an Underground Utility District be formed along Golden West
Street, between Ellis and Slater Avenues.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the attached Resolution; thereby calling for a public hearing to determine
whether public necessity, health, safety, or welfare require the formation of an
underground utility district along the specified portion of Golden West Street.
ANALYSIS:
A number of older major streets within the City are lined with electrical and/or telephone
poles. These poles, and the associated overhead structures, are unattractive and could
become a safety hazard as the volume of traffic on these streets continues to increase.
In December of 1977, Council adopted Chapter 17.64 of the Municipal Code. This Chapter
authorizes Council to establish Underground Utility Districts. An underground utility
district is defined as the removal of all electrical and or telephone poles and associated
overhead structures along a street or a portion thereof. Pursuant to Section 17.64.100 of
this Code, Council can establish a district if public necessity, health, safety, or welfare
requires the removal of poles.
Section 17.64.020 of the Municipal Code requires the establishment of an Underground
Utilities Coordinating Committee.. This committee is to establish a list of potential
districts. On October 8, 1991, the City's Underground Utility Coordinating Committee
comprised of representatives from: Southern California Edison, General Telephone,
Paragon Cable Television, and City staff from Administration, Redevelopment, Planning,
and Public Works, met and established a list of twenty-one potential streets where
existing electrical and or telephone poles should be removed because the facilities are
unattractive and could become a safety hazard. These potential districts were then
prioritized by cost and significance to upcoming street improvement projects designed to
accommodate increased volumes of traffic.

Plans and Specifications for the widening of Golden West Street, between Ellis and Slater
.Avenues, are nearing completion. Existing electrical and telephone poles along this
section of Golden West Street will have to be relocated to provide the needed
right—of—way for these street improvements. Relocating the poles is less expensive than
undergrounding the utilities; however, this would not improve the appearance of the street
nor mitigate what could become a potential safety hazard. Therefore, the Underground
Utility Coordinating Committee was unanimous in recommending that an underground
utility district be formed along Golden West Street, between Ellis and Slater Avenues.
Pursuant to_Section 17.64.090 of the Municipal Code, Council may call public hearings to
ascertain whether the public necessity, health, safety, or welfare requires the removal of
poles, overhead wires, and associated overhead structures within designated areas of the
City and the underground installation of wires and facilities for supplying electric,
telephone, or similar associated services. Prior to holding such public hearing, the City
Engineer shall prepare a report for submission at such hearing. The report shall contain
the extent of public utility participation, estimates of total costs to the City, and affected
property owners. This report, see attached, has been prepared and therefore, it is
recommended, that the attached Resolution be approved thereby calling for a public
hearing to determine whether public necessity, health, safety, or welfare require the
formation of an underground utility district along Golden West Street, between Ellis and
Slater Avenues.
FUNDING SOURCE:
The cost of undergrounding the utilities will be borne entirely by Southern California
Edison and General Telephone. Therefore, the formation and completion of this district
will not fiscally impact the City or any private citizens.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
1. Forego public hearing and establish district immediately.
2. Forego public hearing and establishment,of district.

Golden West Street Underground Utility District
Ellis Avenue to Slater Avenue
ESTABLISHING DISTRICTS:
In 1977 the City Council adopted Chapter 17 . 64 of the
Municipal Code. This chapter set forth guidelines and procedures
for the establishment of Underground Utility Districts. An
Underground Utility District is defined by this chapter as:
. . . that area in the city within which poles, overhead wires,
and associated overhead structures are prohibited . . .
(Section 17 . 64 . O10b)
Specifically, once a district is established by City Council all
overhead wires and associated utility poles, within the Public
Right of Way, must be converted to underground facilities.
COORDINATING COMMITTEE:
Section 17 . 64 . 020 of the Municipal-Code requires the formation
of a Underground Utilities Coordinating Committee. The duty of the
committee is to determine the location and priority of conversion
work and advise the City Council on all technical aspects of
undergrounding public utilities. Specifically, the committee
shall:
(a) Determine the location and priority of conversion work
within the city;
(b) Recommend specific project'§ and methods of financing;
(c) Recommend time limitation for completion of projects and
extensions of time;
(d) Develop a long-range plan for establishing underground
utilities districts;
(e) Perform such other duties as may be assigned to it by the
City Council .

In July of 1991, the committee was formed. Current committee
members include the following representatives from:
Public Utilities
Daryl Bowden General Telephone
Rob Moel Paragon Cable T.V.
Dave Yorke Southern California Edison
City of Huntington Beach
Pat Dapkus Management Assistant
Bob Eichblatt City Engineer
Steve Kohler Principal Redevelopment Specialist
Don Noble Contract Administrator
Howard Zelefsky Planning Director
Louis F. Sandoval Director of Public Works
DISTRICT FORMATION:
On October .8 , 1991, the Underground Utility Committee met to
determine the location and priority of conversion work within the
city and to establish immediate and long range districts. Twenty-
one (21) potential districts were reviewed and discussed. Based on
very limited funding, the committee sought to establish only one
district of immediate importance. Golden West Street, between
Ellis and Slater Avenues, is currently unimproved to the full
right-of-way width. However, plans and specifications for
improvement to full right-of-way width are nearing completion.
Existing electrical and telephone poles will have to be removed to
obtain the needed right-of-way. Therefore, eight existing Southern
California Edison power poles and associated overhead wires, along
the east side of Golden West Street, and another ten (10) General
Telephone poles and wires along the west side of Golden West Street
should be removed and the utilities undergrounded. These poles can
easily be removed now and the utilities undergrounded at no cost to
the city. Furthermore, the formation of this district will not
.require participation by any private property owners. Therefore,
this committee was unanimous in their choice of this district as a
first priority.

of the Golden West Street improvements (Ellis to Slater Avenue) .
Plans and specifications for these improvements are nearing
completion and construction will begin as soon as funds are
available.
DISTRICT COSTS•
The California Public Utilities Commission requires that
public utilities set aside funding for underground utility
districts. Pursuant to this requirement, sufficient funds have
been set aside by both Southern California Edison and General
Telephone to cover the entire cost of this district. Therefore,
there will be no costs to the city.
AFFECTED PROPERTY OWNERS:
The formation and completion of this district will not affect
or fiscally impact any private citizens. However, Urban West.
Communities has requested the undergrounding of Southern California
Edison facilities on the southeast corner of Ellis Avenue and
Golden West Street. Urban West Communities has agreed to pay
Southern California Edison directly for their costs.

SUMMARY / STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council:
1. Call a public hearing to ascertain whether the public
necessity, health, safety or welfare requires the removal of
these poles and the associated overhead structures.
2 . Adopt by affirmative vote of at least five members of the
Council a Resolution declaring this portion of Golden West
Street an Underground Utility District and order the removal
of overhead facilities.
