THE CITY OF 8 212/ CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT j�L-EASANTON¢ March 2, 2021 Engineering TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON TO EXECUTE THE GRANT OF A UTILITY DISTRIBUTION EASEMENT TO PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC ACROSS THE LIVERMORE PLEASANTON FIRE STATION NO. 3 PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3200 SANTA RITA ROAD TO PROVIDE GAS AND ELECTRIC SERVICES TO THE FACILITY SUMMARY The Livermore Pleasanton Fire (LFPD) Fire Station No. 3 project, which demolishes the existing 50-plus-year-old station and constructs a new station on the property at 3200 Santa Rita Road is currently underway. The new station utilizes the site differently and more efficiently than the old station. The new station will have a more appealing presence on the site for motorists and pedestrians passing by, including a small parking lot for station visitors and relatively extensive landscaping compared to the existing station. These features will all be located in the limited area between the building and the roadways of West Los Positas Boulevard and Santa Rita Road. So as to not detract from the aesthetics of the station, staff has worked with Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) to install the equipment needed to provide gas and electric utilities to the building further back on the site, next to the rear apparatus bay doors. This location will be shielded from public view and will not interfere with the station operations nor the station aesthetics from the roadway views. However, to locate the equipment on the site and not in the roadway right-of-way, the City must grant PG&E an easement across the property. It is recommended that City Council adopt the attached resolution that authorizes the Mayor of the City of Pleasanton execute the grant of the needed easement. RECOMMENDATION 1 . Adopt the resolution authorizing the Mayor of the City of Pleasanton to execute the grant of the Utility Distribution Easement to Pacific Gas and Electric so that gas and electric utilities can be provided to the new fire station building in accordance with staff's determination of how to best locate the needed equipment on the site. FINANCIAL STATEMENT There is no significant cost associated with this Grant Deed.
