6.3. E. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er July 22, 2013 SUBJECT Middlefield Road Underground Utility District Boundary Map and Legal Description Revision— Resolution of Intent RECOMMENDATION Adopt a Resolution of Intent to set a Public Hearing on August 26, 2013 concerning exclusion and addition of territory by modifying the boundaries of the Middlefield Road Underground Utility District 2011-1 BACKGROUND On February 6, 2012, Council adopted the Middlefield Road Underground Utility District 2011-1 (MUUD). Pursuant to Municipal Code Chapter 11, Article 2, Sec. 11.44., any revision to the boundary of the district requires a public hearing and an amendment to the ordinance. The purpose of the public hearing is to inform the property owners within the district of the changes to the boundary. Upon City Council's confirmation the proposed public hearing would be set for August 26, 2013. As such, the affected property owners will be given notice of the public hearing through a direct mailing and notice in the newspaper at least ten days before the scheduled hearing. Additional adjustments to the boundary may be required if a utility company requests modifications and they result in exclusion or addition to the underground district territory. ANALYSIS The underground district encompasses Middlefield Road from Main Street to MacArthur Avenue and along certain side streets as shown in the attached boundary map and described in the legal description. Since the adoption of the district, minor changes to the boundaries of the underground district have been identified as necessary for varying reasons: 1) PG&E requested matching the City and County underground district lines which fall on the street centerline on Douglas Ave. This is due to the CA Public Utilities Commission requirement that Rule 20A projects include both sides of the street. 2) The property at 425 Douglas Ave. is currently located within the district, but is served from a pole outside the district; therefore, there is no need for this property to be included in the district.
