LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE REPORT: Councilman Herber read the following: We have received notice from the League of California Cities that the Subcommittee of the Assembly Interim Committee on Public Utilities and Corporations will hold hearings on certain Assembly bills concerning the cost of installation and relocation of utility facilities, on January 13th in Los Angeles. Generally, under existing case law the costs of installing and relocating public utility facilities in public rights of way must be borne entirely by the franchised public utility, i. e., when it be- comes necessary to relocate PG&E and Pt&T facilities as a result of a street widening, etc., the particular utility holding the franchise must relocate their facilities to coincide with the new street right of way. Two bills have been proposed which in effect would completely change the present law by imposing an obligation on the city to pay for such relocation, which obligation has always previously been that of the private utility consumers who obtain the benefit of theparticular facilities. These bills are AB 2811 and AB 330. The Committee recommends that the Council oppose the bills.
