This undergr°unding project will be funded primarily by California
Public Utilities Commission Rule 20A funds. Some of the
associated work, such as replacement of street lighting currently on
wood utility poles, is not covered under Rule 20A fimds and will be
paid from the Dougherty Road Improvements, 1-580 to Houston
Place, Capital Improvement Project.
The City has a balance of $115,000 in its P.U.C. Rule 20A (PG&E)
account as of FY 2003-2004 and will accrue additional allocations at
a rate of about $125,000 per year. PG&E allows cities to "borrow
out'~ funds three years in advance; based on this assumption, the
funding available at the beginning of Fiscal Year 2005-2006,
including the "borrowed" funds, would be $865,000. The other
utility companies are required to underground their own facilities
and bear the cost. The estimated cost of undergrounding the PG&E
overhead facilities is $561,000.

ITEM NO.
Proposed new development in this area may possibly pay for some
of the underground work, This is dependent on the timing of the
development in relation to the timing of the Underground District.
DESCRIPTION: At the meeting of December 16, 2003, the City Council adopted a
Resolution of Intention to form Underground Utility District 2003-01 (Dougherty Road from Sierra Lane
to Dublin Boulevard, and Dublin Boulevard from Dublin Court to Dougherty Road), setting public
hearing dates of January 6th and 20th for consideration of an Ordinance establishing the District.
This project is intended to coincide with the Dougherty Road Improvements, 1-580 to Houston Place
project. The'project is scheduled for construction in Fiscal Year 2005-2006, and it is proposed that the
undergrounding of utilities will take place in conjunction with or prior to construction of the project.
As the result of a preliminary walk-through of the project site with representatives of the utilities, it was
determined that none of the existing businesses within the project limits have overhead services from the
utility poles to be undergrounded. The following properties would be included in the proposed District:
