WORKSHOP - UNDERGROUNDING CONVERSION PROGRAM 5 -YEAR PLAN
Dukku Lee, Public Utilities Department, presented the annual update to the Utilities Department
five year undergrounding plan. He explained the program had been established in 1990 for the
purpose of undergrounding major arterials within the City and was funded by a four percent
surcharge on electric utility bills. To date, 98 circuit miles had been completed with over $144
million spent over the past 20 years on this program. A comment from last year's update was a
request for a complete snapshot of the City's undergrounding plan and Mr. Lee indicated the
map now before Council showed completed and active projects as well as those proposed for
the future.
The selection criteria used for this plan, he stated, was a balancing of five factors: project
coordination with other street improvements to minimize construction impacts to neighborhoods,
geographic diversity to ensure different areas received the same improvements and aesthetics,
reliability and engineering criteria to determine aging facilities in need of replacement and to
improve aesthetics while balancing available funds. The approval process for this annual five
year plan began with an underground subcommittee comprised of Planning Commission
members and some Public Utilities Commissioners. The full Public Utilities board then reviewed
the plan and with their approval it was forwarded to Council for consideration. He added the five
year plan was included on the consent calendar for action by Council this evening.
The current five year plan contained 15 projects, one had been completed, three were under
construction, three were in design and easement acquisition, two new districts had been formed
last year and the balance were in the planning stage. He provided specifics on those projects
as follows:
The Euclid Avenue project located south of the 91 freeway to north of Crescent was now
completed. That process entailed the actual undergrounding work and once that was
completed, the system was energized and poles topped to the communication level and the
street prepared to a full lane. Then communication companies came in one -by -one to
underground their lines. Once the communication lines were completed, new street lights were
installed, poles removed and roads repaired. This particular project, Mr. Lee stated, took eight
months of construction time.

Mr. Lee remarked the Department worked on improving customer notification, including
changeable street messaging signs, preconstruction letters to residents and businesses, as well
as notifying them of the sequence of scheduling and the anticipated duration of the project.
After project completion, post messages were sent eliciting feedback and for the Euclid project,
22 out of 100 returned their surveys with most indicating they were satisfied or somewhat
satisfied and a few indicating dissatisfaction. He added those individuals dissatisfied reflected
traffic concerns as the real issue and the Department was now making an effort to do
construction at major intersections and freeway off ramps during evening hours to minimize
traffic impacts.
During the last update, Council also asked that the pole remaining at Lincoln and Rio Vista be
removed. To that end, staff was working with two communication companies to remove the
pole. He added that the project was progressing, however; some conduits in the street had
been damaged and were now being repaired which lengthened the process. He indicated the
pole should be removed within three weeks.
A new undergrounding district was being proposed on Brookhurst, north of Katella, planned in
conjunction with the street widening on Brookhurst. The undergrounding would be
accomplished prior to Public Works carrying out the street widening. He added on Katella, north
of Ball, the electric facilities would be undergrounded and staff was working with Edison to get
them to underground their facilities north of Cerritos to Ball. That construction was proposed to
take place between 2012 and 2013.
On Harbor Boulevard, from Vermont to Santa Ana, construction began in June and should be
completed in March of 2011.
Council Member Sidhu asked if the Department was working with Edison to get them to
participate in joint trenching activities. Mr. Lee responded joint trenching discussions were
already underway with Edison and for one specific project, SCE commitment had been
received.
The next project on Sunkist was also under construction, all substructures were completed,
electrical cables installed and the system would be energized within two months. Once that was
completed, the poles would be topped and staff would work with communication companies to
remove the poles. On Euclid, the next portion would complete the undergrounding of Euclid in
its entirety down to Katella Avenue. Staff was currently trying to acquire easements and
working with individual property owners to place transformers and other devices. The La
Palma / Brookhurst project was located westerly on La Palma all the way to Brookhurst.
The Lincoln /Magnolia project was the Department's first design /build project. The overhead
facilities were congested with quite a few communication facilities in place. Staff was able to
begin construction on transmission facilities in June and to do parallel work on easements to
property owners affected by the project. He noted Edison had facilities on Lincoln and agreed
to joint trench on this stretch and they also had facilities on Lincoln and Dale with staff working
with the SCE engineering group to design this system.
The Imperial Highway project was located south of the 91 freeway to north of the river with
poles fairly close to the freeway. He remarked if the City did not underground those lines, they
would have had to relocate the poles. In this case, the Department would be removing both
transmission and distribution facilities on the poles. Mayor Pringle asked if the City would be
reimbursed for any portion of these costs as CALTRANS was requiring relocation of the lines.
Council Meeting Minutes of July 20, 2010
Page 3 of 11
Mr. Lee indicated reimbursement was estimated at approximately ten percent of the project cost
or $160,000. Mayor Pringle asked that he be apprised of the status of reimbursement request.
Mr. Lee remarked staff had proposed acceleration of the Westmont project to 2013/2014 as
there were a number of planned construction activities happening in this area and in terms of
project sequence, it would begin after the Brookhurst project. For the project scheduled for Mira
Loma, specifically from the 91 freeway over to Kraemer, the Department was installing the
substructure ahead of the Canyon Power Project and there would be no need to re- excavate
that area. Once the district was formed, Mr. Lee informed Council, the installation would then
be completed.
On Cerritos / Nutwood, the Department's facilities ran northerly on Nutwood and also on Cerritos
and this project would clean up that area and provide a linkage between Katella and Euclid. On
La Palma, between the two freeways, both facilities and transmission lines would be
undergrounded. The Ball /Brookhurst project also included both transmission and distribution
lines and this project would clean up Ball Road between Brookhurst and Euclid. The
Olive/Vermont project would dove -tail with the Colony Park improvements and continue on
Vermont all the way to State College Boulevard. The last project, he stated, was Lincoln /Rio
Vista, proposed for the future including boring under the 57 freeway all the way south of the 91
freeway.
Mayor Pringle remarked these projects were a high priority for the City using resources to not
only beautify Anaheim but to improve the electrical services as well.

from fleet funds.
Council Member Hernandez remarked the fire pumpers being replaced were put into service in
1986 and had been used for 24 years, at least ten years longer than most fire vehicles. He

Sheri Vander Dussen, Planning Director, announced the California Department of Housing and
Community Development was accepting applications to designate two (2) Enterprise Zones in
2010. These zones were chosen in a competitive process on the basis of points earned by the
application submitted by the City and if awarded, would last until 2025. She added it was one of
the most effective methods of strengthening the economy by attracting businesses that could
provide employment to residents who were economically disadvantaged. The boundaries of the
zone must include both residential areas and adjacent business areas where residents could be
employed and covered about one third of the City. She added staff felt the City had a strong
case for award of the Enterprise Zone and had received the full support of the Chamber of
Commerce. She noted the resolution before Council was required by the State in order for the
City to submit application.
Council Member Hernandez remarked this action was a good example of the City promoting
business opportunities in Anaheim and if awarded, would stimulate business along with having
a positive budget impact. He then moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2010 -102 OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM authorizing the submission of an application to the State of California
Department of Housing and Community Development for Designation of the Anaheim
Enterprise Zone, seconded by Council Member Sidhu. Council Member Sidhu also urged

CITY OF ANAHEIM approving the Continuity of Operations Plan for the City of Anaheim.
D129 Authorize the City Manager or Fire Chief to submit the Continuity of Operations Plan to
the California Emergency Management Agency.
Acting Fire Chief Larry Waterhouse remarked the City Manager encouraged staff to look into a
companion plan to the City's disaster plan to identify areas of concern before a disaster
happened. This Continuity of Operations Plan or COOP would lay in place all procedures and
policies to get the City back into the day -to -day business after a disaster. Federal grant funds
were used to put together a plan for both Anaheim and Santa Ana with each City department
prioritizing daily business and identifying alternative work spaces and resources.
Council Member Hernandez remarked it should be comforting for the community to know City
staff was prepared with an in -depth plan to continue City operations during large scale

24. ORDINANCE NO. 6174 (INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF
M142 ANAHEIM amending Title 2 of the Anaheim Municipal Code by adding a new Chapter
2.14, Sections 2.14.010 et seq., relating to the establishment of tourism improvement
districts.
Greg Garcia, Deputy City Manager, reported this ordinance outlined procedures required for
establishing tourism improvement districts for the City. For the past few years, he noted,
representatives from the Anaheim /Orange County Visitors and Convention Bureau (VCB)
together with City staff and members of the local hotel industry explored the merits of
implementing a Tourism Improvement District (TID) in Anaheim. Because of competitive
venues and destinations, the City felt it must take a more comprehensive and sustainable
approach to marking and promoting the City as a tourist and convention destination. Currently,
he stated, the VCB did not have adequate, reliable resources to grow or even maintain the
current market share of the convention and leisure business. The formation of a TID in Anaheim
would allow the tourism industry to expand funding for marketing activities through a
cooperative partnership funded by the hospitality industry. He explained this new source of
revenue would also allow Anaheim to retain and expand the current share of the convention
market, as well as provide immediate opportunities for hotels to attract new business. He added
Irvine, Huntington Beach and Newport Beach, recently passed TID's, as well as San Francisco
and San Diego. Los Angeles, another competitor, was working to pass its own TID in the near
future.
Council Member Galloway was supportive of this effort in remaining competitive to fight for
tourism dollars. She commended hotels and the hospitality business for taking it upon
themselves to create this partnership and moved to introduce the ordinance, seconded by
Mayor Pringle. Roll Call Vote: Ayes — 4: Mayor Pringle and Council Members: Galloway,
Hernandez and Sidhu. Excused Absence — 1: Council Member Kring. Noes — 0. Motion
carried.
26. RESOLUTION NO. 2010 -108 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
T104 CITY OF ANAHEIM levying special taxes within City of Anaheim Community Facilities
District No. 08 -1 (Platinum Triangle).
Item No's. 26 and 27 were presented together by Kristine Ridge, Acting Finance Director. She
remarked these two items related to Platinum Triangle Community Facilities District (CFD). This
CFD encompassed 375 acres in the Platinum Triangle, was initially established in 2008 with
authorization to issue bonds and approve the levy of special taxes. The resolutions Council
were considering would levy special taxes for the current fiscal year in anticipation of issuance
of bonds and also authorize issuance of special tax bonds not to exceed $40 million. She
indicated the amount of the levy was determined in accordance with the adopted rate and
method of apportionment for this district and these special taxes would provide approximately
$2.4 million in this fiscal year to pay the cost of CFD 08 -1.
Council Member Hernandez moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2010 -108 OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM levying special taxes within City of Anaheim Community Facilities District No. 08 -1

THE CITY OF ANAHEIM vacating an easement for road and public utility purposes
located at 1550 West Flippen Circle (Abandonment No. ABA 2010 - 00184).
Natalie Meeks, Public Works Director, reported this abandonment had been requested by the
applicant in order to construct a concrete block wall at the rear of their residential property
located at 1550 West Flippen Circle. This property was dedicated in the 1950's when the home
was built and staff was not clear on why this property differed from its neighbors and as there
were no plans to widen the street, staff had no problem with the abandonment. She added the
property owner would take over this retaining wall and make the necessary improvements to it.
Council Member moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2010 -110 OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM
vacating an easement for road and public utility purposes located at 1550 West Flippen Circle,
