CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - February 7, 1979 B. CONSENT CALENDAR: (Continued) 5. f) Resolution #_ amending Resolution #1178, Underground Utility District No. 3. 4W Mr. Maurer, Fremont Road, spoke to Item B. 5 f), requesting Council consider leaving the utility pole in front of his home standing because of exhorbitant expense and the rural flavor it provided visually. Mr. Alexander, P.G.&E. Representative, advised of the funds available and their decision to leave this particular pole standing, as well as others, thus extending the proposed undergrounding only fifty feet deep on each side of Fremont Road.
