COUNCIL AGENDA
November 8, 2022
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: Consideration of Establishing Underground Utilities District 14-Resolution to set Public Hearing
INTRODUCTION
Cities in California have long relied upon the Utility Rule 20A program to reconstruct power and communication linesfrom overhead to underground. This program as we know it is ending, and only currently active projects will be able to proceed to construction. The City of Lakewood currently has over $5M in Rule 20A work credits plus an additional $3M in work credits via transfer from the County of Los Angeles. As part of the Lakewood Blvd. Corridor Project, the City has planned to remove the overhead utilities and reconstruct them underground,to make space a protected bike lane and pedestrian walkway. Using the $8M in work credits for a portion of the undergrounding work will be a vital piece of the funding for this project and will allow the City to use the work credits before they essentially expire. This project was introduced at the regular City Council meeting on October 11, 2022. STATEMENT OF FACT
Chapter 5 of Article VIII of the Lakewood Municipal Code authorizes theCity Council to establish and designate, by resolution, an underground utility district (District) in the City for public necessity, health, safety, or welfare. To construct the Lakewood Boulevard Complete Street Project, both transmission and distribution lines must be undergrounded to allow for the bike and pedestrian paths improvements. The establishment of Underground Utility District 14 will allow for undergrounding of the distribution lines from South Street to the North City Limits. The City also plans to place the transmission utilities on the west side of Lakewood Blvd in underground conduit, which would be constructed through a Rule 20B project as part of the Lakewood Blvd Corridor Project. The design of the underground transmission utilities, to be prepared by SCE, is part ofthe already allocated funding for the design of the corridor project. Splitting the distribution and transmission utilities into separate projects will allow for the construction work to be done in different phases and funded from different funding sources. Over the past few years, the civil design was completed utilizing the Metro grant funds, and the City has been accumulating its Rule 20A funds to aggregate enough work creditsto move forward with the project. The next step requires Southern California Edison (SCE) to complete its design for the distribution lines to be in proposed District 14. In September SCE provided an updated estimate for the distribution conversion project in the amount of approximately $6.6 million to $7.3 million. Due to the regional benefits of the project, the City approached L.A. County to seek supplemental work credits to assist with the shortfall. Since it is unlikely that design and AD)

construction will be completed prior to 2025-26, staff requested $3 million from L.A. County Supervisor Janice Hahn to supplement the City’s available $5.07 million set-aside funding, to account for escalation and contingency. Supervisor Hahn has expressed her support and the request is scheduled for a Board decision in December or January. If approved, funding for both the design and construction of undergrounding the distribution lines and associated electrical service lines will be paid for by City and County SCE Rule 20A funds. In addition, Metro still has a fund balance of $1,395,000.00 earmarked for the design of the transmission lines undergrounding. Staff will work with SCE to begin discussions surrounding the design of the transmission lures as well. This will put the City in a better position to obtain outside funding for the construction of the complete street improvement as well asthe more costly undergrounding of the transmission lines. Since the October 11 Council Meeting, staff has continued to work with Willdan and SCE to further prepare for the required Public Hearing and possible adoption of Underground Utilities District 14. The power point presentation has been updated to include slides that aerially depict the proposed district boundaries. In Staffs oral presentation at the November 8 Council Study Session,staff will discussthe techniques ofrouting the private services under ground on the private properties, how possible obstructions may be handled, and the easement acquisition process. The manager of the Rule 20A program from SCE has been invited to attend the Study Session to help answer Council’s questions regarding tire project. The resolution proposed for adoption in this report’s recommendation will declare the City Council’s intention to form an Underground Utilities District 14, and sets December 13, 2022 at die regular City Council meeting, asthe time and place for the public hearing. Mailed notices will be sent to all affect utilities and property owners later this week advising of the scheduled public hearing. Background
Under Electric Rule 20A, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) allocates ratepayer- funded work creditsto citiesto convert overhead powerlines and equipmentto underground facilities. On June 3, 2021, the CPUC issued a revision to the program entitled “Phase 1 Decision Revising Electric Rule 20 and Enhancing Program Oversight.”
Tire Phase 1 decision revises the Electric Rule 20 program as follows:
(a) discontinues new work credit allocations to citiesfor Electric Rule 20A projects, (b) clarifies Electric Rule 20A project eligibility criteria and work credit transfer rules, (c) disallows trading of work credits between cities, and (d) requires SCE to notify cities as to whether they are considered “active” or “inactive.” Under the decision, work balances for cities considered inactive arc to be reallocated back to SCE.
Consideration of Establishing Underground Utilities District 14 November 8, 2022
On April 22,2016, the City of Lakewood entered into an agreement with Metro for the design of the Lakewood Boulevard Complete Street Project. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was for both the civil design of improvement and for the underground design of both the transmission lines and the distribution lines. Assuch, theCity of Lakewood is currently considered “active”with a work credit balance of $5,074,017. However, to remain “active” the City must continue to show progress on the project and will achieve this objective by establishing Underground Utility District 14 for the distribution linesfrom South Street to the North City Limits. RECOMMENDATION That the City Council adopt the Resolution of Intent regarding proposed Underground Utilities District 14,setting a Public Hearing for December 13, 2022.

COUNCIL AGENDA

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: Approval of Agreement with City of Hawaiian Gardens for Air Support Services
INTRODUCTION
Sky Knight, as America’sfirst air borne law enforcement patrol, has been a long-standing proven crime fighter for Lakewood. During the history of the program, Sky Knight provided air support service to many of our neighboring cities for many years, including Hawaiian Gardens. STATEMENT OF FACTS Recently, Hawaiian Gardens contacted the city expressing an interest in contracting for Sky Knight air support services on an on-demand basis. Staff provided a proposal for air support services, detailing the many tactical advantages and crime deterrent benefits of Sky Knight. The proposal also included the cost model, based on an hourly rate of $950 to be billed in 1/10*of an hour increments. On October 25, Hawaiian Gardens City Council approved a budget amendment allocating $100,000 for Sky Knight services for the remainder of FY 2022-2023. As a follow-up, staff provided Hawaiian Gardens a draft agreement for services and they plan to present it to their City Council for approval at their November 15 meeting. Staff from both cities, along with Lakewood Station personnel, will meet to discuss implementation of this renewed partnership. It is anticipated we will be able to begin providing air support services before the end of the month. At their November 1 meeting, the Public Safety Committee received a report and discussed entering into an agreement with Hawaiian Gardens to provide air support services. The Committee is supportive of renewing the partnership with Hawaiian Gardens and recommended the Council approve the agreement tonight. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the City Council approve an agreement with the City of Hawaiian Gardens to provide air support services through June 30, 2023, and authorize the City Manager to sign the agreement as approved by the City Attorney.
