A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF POMONA, CALIFORNIA ESTABLISHING AN UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 WHEREAS, a Public Hearing was called for May 19, 2025 at 7:00pm in the Council Chambers and Pomona City Hall to ascertain whether the public necessity, health, safety, or welfare requires the removal of poles, overhead wires, and associated overhead structures and the underground installation of wires and facilities for supplying electric, communication, or other associated services in and along those certain rights of way shown on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and by reference made a part hereof as though fully set forth herein and as more particularly described as follows:
Along Lexington Avenue from Park Avenue to Garey Avenue.
WHEREAS, notice of such hearing was duly published and mailed to all affected property owners and utilities concerned in the matter and with the time required by law; and such hearing was duly and regularly held with all persons interested having been given an opportunity to be heard.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Pomona as follows:
SECTION 1. The Pomona City Council hereby finds and determines (1) that the public necessity, health, safety, or welfare requires the removal of poles, overhead wires, and associated overhead structures and that the underground installation of wires and facilities for supplying electric, communication or similar associated service in and along those rights-of-way more particularly described hereinabove, and that such described areas are hereby collectively established as Underground Utility District No. 1 (hereinafter called District); and (2) that said District herein created is in the general public interest as the undergrounding to be accomplished will avoid or eliminate an unusually heavy concentration of overhead distribution facilities and, in addition, the streets, sidewalks, public facilities, and private property within the area carry a heavy volume of vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
SECTION 2. Since time is of the essence, the Pomona City Council hereby orders that actual construction work commence as quickly as possible, and that all work, including connecting of underground services to the private meter, and removal of all overhead facilities be completed by no later than three years from initiation.
SECTION 3. City Staff is hereby directed to mail, within ten (10) days after the adoption of this resolution, a copy hereof to all affected property owners to all persons occupying such property and to the affected utilities.
