SUBJECT: GRANT OF EASEMENT TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON FOR ELECTRIC
UTILITY SYSTEMS LOCATED AT THE CITY CORPORATION YARD
FISCAL
IMPACT: NONE
SUMMARY:
The proposed grant of easement to Southern California Edison (SCE) on the Corporate Yard property is needed to provide them with access to place a relocated electrical service cable to accommodate the new Placentia Public Safety Center. A grant of easement for this purpose was previously granted by the City Council in January; however, SCE staff confirmed that their design of the new electrical cable was incorrectly placed and that a new easement document adjusting the boundaries of the easement to accommodate the redesigned cable location is required. As a separate action, Staff will present a quitclaim of the first easement to the City Council for its approval at a later date.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Approve the Grant of Easement to Southern California Edison for electric utility systems; and
2. Authorize the City Administrator to execute the Grant of Easement on behalf of the City in a form approved by the City Attorney.
STRATEGIC PLAN STATEMENT:
The recommended actions conform to Strategic Plan Goal 5, Implement Public Infrastrucure to Meet Community Needs, Objective 5.4, Construct the Placentia Public Safety Center.

DISCUSSION:
As part of the construction of the new Placentia Public Safety Center Project, new electrical services and equipment will be established and installed as part of the construction of the facility.
The existing SCE service cable serving the Corporte Yard Facility will have to be relocated to allow for construction of the building and the proposed easement will allow for the placement of a new cable in a new location for maintenance and operations purposes. SCE requires easements to be granted in their favor in order to place their facilities on private and public property.
The City Council previously approved a grant of easement to SCE for this purpose. However, during the Phase I construction process it was determined that SCE had placed their new electrical cable in the wrong location, requiring it to be moved to the correct location necessating a new easement document that reflects the correct location where the electrical cable will be placed. As a separate action, Staff will present a quitclaim of that previous easement to the City Council for its consideration and approval at a later date. The easement noted in the attached documents will provide SCE the legal authority to enter onto the City's property to maintain, repair and potentially replace its utility facilities if needed. The specific location of the new facilities are noted in the legal description of the easement which provides for a strip of land located on the same lot and illustrated on the attached Exhibit "A."
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended actions.
