FINANCIAL STATEMENT: A deposit in the amount of$133,689 will need to be filed with the
State Treasury. The ultimate price paid for the street lights may be higher. Acquisition Group Staffwill
continue to negotiate withPG&E and will return to the City Council with progress reports. Legal and
consulting costs will be incurred as necessary during this process. Funds have been budgeted in the Five-
Year Capital Improvement Program for acquisition of the lights.
Once the City takes possession of the lights, the monthly billing from PG&E will decrease substantially,
and the City will begin to incur additional maintenance costs. The annual savings to the City is estimated
to be between $68,00d"and $70,000, based on current rates and excluding replacement costs. (See body of
report for additional information on rates.) At the public hearing regarding the City-Wide Street Light
Maintenance Assessment District on July 25, 1995, the City Council discussed several funding options and
determined that the funds for the street light acquisition (including the deposit noted above) should come
from a combination of assessment district reserves, any savings realized' in Fiscal Year 1995-96, and the
City's General Fund.

DESCRIPTION: The City's adopted Goals and Objectives includes acquisition of .','
street lights as a goal. In addition, the City's Five- Year Capital Improvement Program identifies a project . ,.,
for purchase of street lights and street light facilities from PG&E. City street light ownership provides the
following public benefits:
1. The City can substantially reduce its PG&E street light bill by taking electric service under the LS-2
rate tariffinstead of the LS-1 (see Financial Statement above and additional information below
regarding gross and net savings). Since electric service for street lights is a major expense of the
City, reduction of this expense also reduces the cost of local government.
2. The City can provide a higher standard oj maintenance than offered by PG&E and can also ensure
prompt repair oj street light outages, thereby improving public safety and convenience.
3. The City can impose higher construction and installation standards to assure greater public safety
and maximize energy efficiency.
In December of 1993, the City of Dublin joined the Alameda County Street Light Acquisition (ACSLA)
Group. This group consists of the County of Alameda and 10 cities within the County. Over the past two
years, the group has met to discuss various aspects of the acquisition, including appraisals, financing,
development of standard specifications, maintenance alternatives, and the mechanics of the acquisition.
The majority of the City's street lights (1,354) are currently owned by Pacific Gas and Electric Company ."'.
and are billed under the "LS-l" rate, which includes a considerable charge for maintenance.' PG&E
performs aU maintenance on the lights under this rate schedule, including bulbs, photoelectric controls,
lenses, knockdown replacement, and underground or overhead wiring replacement. The City currently
owns 415 lights which are billed under the LS-2C rate. This rate also includes a charge from PG&E for
maintenance; however, the charge is lower and only includes replacement of bulbs, photoelectric controls,
and lenses. The City is responsible for any other maintenance needed by the City-owned lights.
Once the City acquires the PG&E-owned lights, the rate schedule for these lights would change to the
"LS-2A" rate, which includes only energy cost and a small amount of overhead. This rate is substantially
lower than the LS-l rates. For example, the current LS-IA rate for a 70-watt street light is $7.75 per
month, and the LS-IE rate is $10.87, as opposed to an LS-1A rate of$2.67. The majority of residential
area street lights are 70 watts. There are a number of variations in the LS-l rate schedule; these ac~unt
primarily for differences in pole type and ownership: When the City acquires the PG&E lights, it is also
proposed to change the City-owned lights from the LS-2C to the LS-2A rate.
The City will incur maintenance costs for the street lights, as well as some increased administrative costs.
The feasibility study that was performed in 1993 estimated $1.55 per light per month for normal
maintenance (bulbs and photocells), exclusive of extraordinary repairs such as knockdowns, with a total
annual maintenance cost of$40,000. It is proposed to expand the scope of the existing traffic signal and
street lighting maintenance contract with Alameda County to include the newly-acquired lights. Staffhas
further estimated the administrative cost to be approximately $9,500 per year (same as budgeted for FY '.
1995-96). After deducting the estimated maintenance and administrative costs, the total net annual savings e:.
is estimated at approximately $68,900, based on the current LS-l rates. :-

,""
PG&E recently filed a rate adjustment request with the CPUC which provides for a 20% reduction in LS-l
rates. When these rates take effect on July 1st, the spread between the LS-I and LS-2 rates will change so
that the annual savings to the City is less. The Acquisition Group's appraiser has analyzed the proposed
rate schedule and estimates the gross annual savings to be $89,100. After deducting the estimated
maintenance and administrative cost, the net annual savings is estimated at $39,600.
The City's street lighting energy and maintenance costs are funded entirely by the City-Wide Street
Lighting Assessment District. The City's property owners therefore pay the cost of street lighting based
on various factor rates. A single-family lot, which is assigned a factor rate off~I," has been paying $19.34
per year. Conunerciallots are assessed on the basis of lot size. The reduction in the cost of street lighting
energy and maintenance can therefore be passed on to the property owners in the form of a reduced
assessment.
The Acquisition Group has submitted several offers and counteroffers to,PG&E for purchase of the street
lights. PG&E has, to date, rejected these offers and counteroffers. The latest offer is attached as Exhibit
2. In, order to achieve the cost savings at the earliest possible date, Staff is reconunending that the City
Council adopt the Resolution of Necessity, so that the City can take possession of the lights and begin
paying the lower LS-2A rates. The other jurisdictions in the Acquisition Group have agreed to take this
same step toward acquiring the lights ,within their respective territorial limits.
A Categorical Exemption has been tiled regarding the acquisition of the street lights and street lighting
facilities (see Exhibit 3). Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, delibc;,rate, and
adopt the Resolution of Necessity. .

Re: Alameda County street Light Acauisition
Dear Mr. Garber:
The purpose of this letter is to respond to your counter-
offer of a sales price of $9 million for PG&E's street lights,
which facilities are located within the pUblic entities that
comprise the Alameda County Street Light Acquisition group.
First, the group appreciates PG&E's willingness to reduce
its original offer to $9 million. Unfortunately, according to
our appraiser, Ms. Nancy Hughes, PG&E's proposed reduction in its
LS-l rates would reduce the value of the PG&E street lights to a
level that is much lower than what is reflected in PG&E's latest
counteroffer. Furthermore, based on our recent discussions with
persons involved in PG&E's general rate case, we have every
reason to believe that PG&E's proposed LS-l rate reduction (which
no party is opposing in the general rate case) will be adopted by
the CPUC in the next several months. The members of the Alameda
County street Light Acquisition group, therefore, respectfully
decline to accept PG&E's latest counteroffer of $9 million.
The group, however, is willing to purchase PG&E's
streetlights at a price based on Ms. Hughes' new appraised value
of PG&E's streetlights, which reflects the proposed decrease in
the LS-1 rates. I have enclosed:a copy of Ms. Hughes' appraisal
summary of November 1, 1995, which has been approved by each of
the group members. The group's new counteroffer of
$3,439,388.00, revokes all prior offers by the group or any of
its members.
If PG&E is willing to accept the group's counteroffer of
$3,439,388.00, please let us know as soon as possible. The
group's offer will remain open until 5:00 p.m. January 29, 1996.

In the meantime, the members of the Alameda County street
Light Acquisition group will begin scheduling public hearings for
the adoption of Resolutions of Necessity. The group members are
doing this to avoid any additional delay in being placed on
PG&E's LS-2 rate tariffs, regardless of how the necessary status
of streetlight ownership is finally achieved, whether by
negotiation or condemnation. The adoption of Resolutions of
Necessity, therefore, does not rule out further negotiations.
Thank you again for your kind cooperation.
Sincerely,
~1){.
