PUBLIC HEARINGS <br /> 11.1 Consideration of Approval of Utility Undergrounding District Boundary <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Henry Louie introduced this item to Council. He <br /> provided an overview of the staff report that was before Council. He noted that Council <br /> had approved the formation of a Rule 20A Undergrounding District as a pilot project on <br /> December 15, 2004 and it was now appropriate for the City Council to conduct a public <br /> hearing to formally establish the Districts. Louie displayed a boundary map of the <br /> proposed District. He noted that there was a typographical error in the text of the report <br /> and offered the correct the spelling of"Minorca Court". <br /> • <br /> Mayor Pro Tem Warshawsky reviewed with Council the Rule 20A requirements that had <br /> determined the pilot project location. He added that with the Council's adoption of the <br /> Resolution that would formally establish the Underground Districts (District No. lA and <br /> No. 1B), the Town's project would be positioned in the appropriate PG&E scheduling <br /> channel for construction. Warshawsky noted that the Undergrounding Subcommittee was <br /> extremely pleased with the designated areas/ District Boundaries noting that more area <br /> had been included than initially proposed. <br /> OPENED PUBLIC HEARING <br /> Stuart Bessler, Canario Way, requested clarification on the project maps. He did not <br /> believe it was consistent with the text of the public hearing notice. <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Henry Louie explained the discrepancy, noting that <br /> the map as identified in the exhibits was definitive and correct and the text referenced the <br /> geographical area. <br /> Jean Straube, Viscaino, asked if the utility pole on her street could be included in the <br /> project. She was very pleased with the project that was scheduled for her neighboring <br /> streets. <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Henry Louie explained that the pole she referenced <br /> was a transitional pole and was not scheduled for undergrounding.
