Rule 20A Program - Quality of Life Director van Dorst described the Rule 20A Program which has funds created from fees charged to electric rate payers. The monies created under this program can then be spent on under-grounding of overhead utilities. The City of Redlands anticipates spending approximately $600,000.00 on under-grounding of overhead utilities on Stuart Avenue between Orange and Eureka Streets. This project has already been approved leaving a balance of approximately $700,000.00 in Rule 20A projects for spending on another location. Available funding under Rule 20A for the City of Redlands is approximately $200,000.00 per year and these monies can be banked or even "mortgaged" or borrowed against for up to five years worth of funding. At this time, staff proposed to utilize the following criteria in. identifying streets for discussion of under-grounding with Southern California Edison Company: the interference with palm trees from overhead utilities is significant; the loss of palm trees would be historically and aesthetically significant; and the street is well-traveled and therefore the loss of palm trees would be more visible. Quality of Life Director van Dorst described the process and reviewed the high priority streets. Beverly Powell, Southern California June 17,2008 Page 7 Edison, reported the minimum cost is $1.5 million per mile; Quality of Life Director van Dorst described the minimum cost as $500.00 per foot. Mayor Harrison suggested identifying streets with palm trees in the historic district to narrow down the process. Councilmember Bean felt major arterial streets with palm trees should be a priority. Councilmember Gilbreath moved to direct staff to seek pricing from Southern California Edison on those sections of streets where the greatest number of palm trees can be saved from the undergrounding of overhead utilities including the suggestions from Mayor Harrison and Councilmember Bean. Motion seconded by Councilmember Gallagher and carried unanimously. CLOSED SESSION The City Council meeting recessed at 4:04 P.M. to a closed session to discuss the following: 1.
