Section 9. Pursuant to Section 11.48 of the Code of the City of Redwood City, the utility company which undertakes underground installation of its facilities shall use the underground conversion allocation computed pursuant to the decision of the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California ("CPUC") for the purpose of providing to each parcel allocation in the Underground Utility District individual electric service trenching and conductors to the extent required (including backfill, paving, and conduit), but not exceeding 100 feet. Each other serving utility shall provide service trenching and conductors in accordance with its tariffs on file with the CPUC or as required by its Franchise Agreement with the City. PG&E has recently expanded the Rule 20A program to allow community participation in the Electric Panel Service Conversion Program. Rule 20A allocations may now be used to pay for the entire cost of adapting electric panels that will receive underground service. With the exception of the City's responsibility for obtaining a signed right-of-entry for each property to enable PG&E's contractor to complete the panel modifications, PG&E will lead the panel conversion construction portion of the project. They will make all necessary modifications to the property owner's electric panels and trenching agencies to enable them to receive underground service. The entire cost of this work is charged against the community's Rule 20A allocation. Section 10. The City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to forward a copy of this Ordinance to PG&E and request, on behalf of the City Council, that PG&E pay from the existing allocation of the City of Redwood City for: (a) the installation of each customer's underground electric service lateral occasioned by the undergrounding; (b) the conversion of electric service panels to accept underground service, excluding permit fees. Section 11. From and after the time fixed by Section 4 of this Ordinance, it shall be unlawful for any person, including utility companies, to erect, maintain or operate any pole, overhead wire or associated structure in any portion of the street, road, alley or way within Underground Utility District No. 2016-1, except to the extent expressly permitted. Violations of this Section shall constitute a misdemeanor pursuant to the Code of the City of Redwood City and shall be punishable as provided in Section 1.7 of the Code of the City of Redwood City. Section 12. The City Clerk shall give notice of the adoption of this Ordinance as provided by Section 11.47 of the Code of the City of Redwood City and shall accompany said notice with a copy of this Ordinance. Section 13. This Ordinance shall be effective 30 days from the date of its adoption. * * * Page 4 of 4 ATTY/ORD.430/ROOSEVELT AVENUE UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT N0.2016-1 ORDINANCE NO.2426 REV:07-14-16 RL MUFF N0.804
