City Council Staff Report
DATE: August 17, 2022
AGENDA ITEM NO:
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Anthony Antich, Interim Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Proposed Underground Utility District on Monterey Pass Road RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council consider:
1. Opening a public hearing to receive documentary and testimonial evidence;
2. After closing the public hearing and considering the evidence, adopting a Resolution establishing an Underground Utility District on Monterey Pass Road from W. Garvey Avenue to Vagabond Drive;
3. Directing the City Clerk to notify all affected utilities and property owners of the adoption of this resolution within 10 days after the date of adoption; and
4. Taking such additional, related action that may be desirable.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On July 20th, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution 2022-R61 to initiate the creation of a new underground utility district on Monterey Pass Road between W. Garvey Avenue and Vagabond Drive, identified as the Monterey Park Road Underground Utility District (MPR UUD). Following public testimony, staff recommends the adoption of a Resolution establishing the MPR UUD.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
The recommended actions are exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and CEQA regulations (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.) because such actions – even if the City Council were to establish an underground utility district - are only for the purpose of obtaining funds for future capital projects. Any such eventual undergrounding project will undergo its own CEQA review. This Resolution, therefore, is categorically exempt from further CEQA review under 14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15273.
BACKGROUND:
Funds for utility undergrounding are available to city and county governments through the California Public Utilities Commission's (CPUC) Rule 20A. Rule 20A undergrounding projects are paid for by utility rate proceeds set aside by Southern California Edison (SCE). Using CPUC formulas, SCE allocates about $180,000 annually to the City of Monterey Park for undergrounding. This allocation is based on the ratio of SCE customers served by overhead utilities to all customers within the City of Monterey Park relative to Public Hearing - 4B
Staff Report
August 17, 2022
the total number of SCE customers. The City's current allocation balance is approximately $7,743,305.
The establishment of an Underground Utility District on Monterey Pass Road between W.
Garvey Avenue and Vagabond Drive was approved by City Council on July 20, 2022.
This project would be the City's fourth major Rule 20A undergrounding project since 1968.
Monterey Pass Road is a major North-West collector through the City of Monterey Park that carries a significant volume of traffic. The estimated cost for the undergrounding is $6.8 million as provided in the Preliminary Rough Order of Magnitude Cost Estimate by SCE. Under Rule 20A, each utility company, at its own expense, is required to underground its overhead facilities within the public right-of-way and up to 100 feet on private property. The affected utility companies include SCE, AT&T, Frontier, Verizon Wireless, Time Warner and Crown Castle.
In accordance with Chapter 14.16 (Underground Utility Districts) of the City's Municipal Code, a public hearing to determine whether the utility undergrounding on Monterey Pass Road between W. Garvey Avenue and Vagabond Drive is in the public interest was set for August 17, 2022. As required, the City Clerk sent notices of the hearing to the utility companies and all affected property owners, and also posted Public Hearing Notices at the City Hall, City Library, and Langley Center.
After the City Council’s establishment of the Underground Utility District on Monterey Pass Road, SCE will initiate the design of their underground facilities and coordinate with AT&T, Frontier, Verizon Wireless, Time Warner and Crown Castle which share the utility poles. Design generally takes 24 to 30 months to complete. However due to the ending of the Rule 20A funding program, SCE has received a large number of undergrounding requests as agencies are adopting undergrounding districts in order to avoid losing their available funds. As a result, the implementation of a new district may take an extended time to complete. SCE advised that based on the long list of pending underground utility districts in line for design, once in the queue, it could take up to two years to start design.
Therefore, construction is not expected to begin until in FY 2027-2028 and will take approximately 24-30 months to complete. Given these timelines, the entire design and construction to implement the Monterey Pass Road Underground District would be completed in about 7 years.
FISCAL IMPACT:
SC
E would fund this project entirely from the City's accumulated Rule 20A allocation fund balance, which is approximately $6.8M million. There is no cost to the property owners or to the tenants of Monterey Pass Road for this undergrounding project. The fiscal impact to the City is in relation to the service hours provided by the City employees involved in the project.

Monterey Pass Road between W. Garvey Avenue and Vagabond Drive Proposed Underground Utility District
Background
Rule 20 is a set of policies and procedures established by the California Public Utilities Commission to regulate the conversion of overhead electric equipment to underground facilities, a process called "undergrounding". Rule 20 determines the level of ratepayer funding for different undergrounding arrangements. Under Rule 20, undergrounding projects are financed by utility rate money, combined rate funds and local tax proceeds, or private funds, depending on whether Rule 20A, Rule 20B or Rule 20C provisions apply.
On average, less than a penny per electric bill goes to undergrounding.
Rule 20A
Rule 20A projects are paid for by all S CE ratepayers, not just those who live on streets on which facilities will be undergrounded. City and county governments choose these projects, using a process that includes public participation.
To qualify for full funding through utilit y rate proceeds, projects must produce a benefit to the general public, not just customers in the affected area, by satisfying one or more of these criteria:
• The location has an unusually heavy concentration of overhead facilities. • The location is heavily traveled.
• The location qualifies as an arterial or major collector road in a local government's General Plan.
• The overhead equipment must be located within or pass through a civic, recreational or scenic area.
Using CPUC formulas, SCE allocates rate funds to communities for undergrounding based on previous allocations, the ratio of customers served by overhead facilities to all the customers in the community, and the fraction that customers in the community represent of all SCE customers.
Local governments use these formulas to project allocations, which allows them to prioritize projects and develop project schedules. Because funds are limited, local governments sometimes must wait and accumulate their allocations before starting an undergrounding project. In addition, the Rule 20 A program will expire in December 2022, and any unused funds will not be available any longer to the City. In order to maximize the benefit to the City and its residents, the proposed undergrounding project will use the majority of the available funds.
Legal Description
UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT ON MONTEREY PASS ROAD FROM W.
GARVEY AVENUE TO VAGABOND DRIVE.
That certain portion of Monterey Pass Road in the City of Monterey Park, County of Los Angeles, State of California, bounded as follows: on the north by the southerly right of- way line of W. Garvey Avenue; on the east by the easterly right-of-way line of Monterey Pass road; on the south by the northerly right-of-way line of Vagabond Drive; on the west by the westerly right-of-way line of Monterey Pass Road.
Description of Proposed Work
The existing Edison overhead wires and poles are located along Monterey Pass Road, from W. Garvey Avenue to Vagabond Drive. The properties serviced from the Monterey Pass Road frontage will be converted to an underground service. The existing electrical, as well as telephone and cable television wires will be undergrounded and the wood poles will be removed. The power lines provide electricity to the street lights and the properties along Monterey Pass Road.
The existing street lights will be removed and new streetlights installed on new street light poles. The City will prepare a plan for the street light locations. If additional lights are desired the cost thereof will be funded by the City of Monterey Park.
Estimated Cost
The Edison Company has estim ated that the cost of this project would be $6,800,000.
The City of Monterey Park's current allocation fund balance is $7,743,305 with annual additions of $1 80,000. The Rule 20 A funding program will expire by December 2022.
There is no cost to the property owners or tenants of Monterey Pass Road for this undergrounding project. All electric service customers served from lines being relocated underground will have necessary modifications and conversions done to their electrical service connections using the City's Rule 20A funds.
The implementation of a new district can take up to two years in the queue to start design because there is often a long list of pending underground utility districts that have been established by other agencies , and especially with the ending of the Rule 20A funding program, many agencies have adopted undergrounding districts in order to avoid losing their available funds. This ha s resulted in a major increase of undergrounding requests to SCE.

Subject: Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) Cost Estimate
City of Monterey Park Rule 20A Undergrounding Project
Monterey Pass Rd: Vagabond Dr. to Garvey Ave.
Dear Mr. Bow:
Rule 20A Project Management has reviewed the Rule 20A project in the City Monterey Park:
Monterey Pass Road: Vagabond Drive to Garvey Avenue. The Rough Order of Magnitude cost estimate for the project is $6,800,000 expressed in 2026 dollars. The estimated trench footage for the project is 3,500 feet, which includes all mainline trenching as well as crossings, streetlights and service laterals (if applicable). The cost of the project is escalated to the year 2026, which is the earliest anticipated year that construction would be scheduled and includes an estimated accuracy variance of approximately 40%. This assumes all the other utilities involved in the project can complete their design and prepare construction documents in the same timeframe as SCE has estimated. Should the City and SCE agree to proceed with the Rule 20A project, the scope of work and SCE estimated cost for the project can be updated and with greater accuracy following the completion of SCE’s final engineering design.
SCE’s ability to proceed with this project is dependent upon the annual CPUC approved budget for the Rule 20A Program, which provides for the availability of capital funding and resources for Rule 20A projects. Funding levels for the Rule 20A Program may directly impact future allocations and the anticipated year of construction for this proposed project.
The ROM estimate is based on the following assumptions:
• SCE has an available budget to proceed with the project. • The City of Monterey Park has accumulated an adequate allocation balance. • The City of Monterey Park has established an Underground Utility District by resolution or ordinance for this project and/or area.
• The City of Monterey Park will allow and provide for the granting of easement(s) to SCE for trench installation within the project boundary, as necessary.
Additional terms and conditions assumed in the ROM estimate are outlined in the attached Rule 20A General Conditions Policy document, which further defines the responsibilities of SCE and the City of Monterey Park to ensure the success of this project.
