Vera Dunder, 4713 First Street, Suite 245, asked if there would be an additional tax imposed on property owners on First Street or would this be a capital expenditure for the City? Mr. Grubstick said the City would use Rule 20A allocation funds from PG&E for most of the work. There is about $350,000 of additional work to convert street lights and participate with residential properties for conversion. There will be no additional tax for property owners. Mr. Campbell indicated Mr. Fiedler had raised questions two years ago about the stream in that area and the flooding potential. Mr. Grubstick said staff has plans to build a bypass storm drain line down Kottinger to the County Transportation Corridor and over to Arroyo del Valle. There is a project on Kottinger next year for street improvements and that would include storm drain pipes for the bypass. Mr. Bmzosky was concerned that the pipes on Kottinger would be reduced in size because of the proposed storm drain bypass. Mr. Gmbstick said that was not correct. The existing pipelines that mn from St. Marys Creek along Second Street would remain in place. The bypass would be a diversion of high flows in the other direction. There being no further speakers, the public hearing was closed. It was moved by Ms. Ayala, seconded by Mr. Brozosky, to adopt Resolution No. 02- 138, establishing the formation of the Underground Utility District No. 02-01, First Street- Kottinger Drive; approving the use of Rule 20A funds for "100 Foot Rule" for residential and commercial units; approving use of Rule 20A funds for panel conversions for residential and commercial units; authorizing the use of City funds to cover residential costs not covered by Rule 20A; and directing the City Clerk to mail a copy of the adopted resolution to the affected utility companies and to notify affected property owners and occupants within the District. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councflmembers - Ayala, Brozosky, Hosterman, and Vice Mayor Campbell NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: Mayor Pico Ms. Ayala asked how staff determines which streets get underground utilities. She would prefer that all streets have underground utilities. She was especially concerned about Black Avenue and the problems with tree trimming under the overhead lines. Mr. Grubstick said there was a priority list established a number of years ago and noted other areas on the list. Division Street would be next on the list.
