The City Clerk certified that notice of the public hearing had been advertised as required by law, and mailed to the affected property owners, and reported no communications had been received either for or against this item. The City Engineer presented the staff report and explained that upon review by the Edison Company of the 1984 undergrounding project, it was found that the beach parking lots at First Street and Eighth Street would not be eligible for inclusion within the District under Public utilities Commission rules, that it has also been determined that Edison facilities on the south side of First Street serving off-shore oil facilities should be included in the District for aesthetic reasons. Mr. Hemphill reported further that the inclusion of Main Street into the District was also explored, including decorative lighting similar to that on the Municipal pier, the City subsequently notified that the decorative lighting would not be eligible for underground funding. Mr. Hemphill described the revised boundaries as First Street from Pacific Coast Highway to Ocean, Ocean Avenue easterly to Eighth Street, the project proposed to eliminate all overhead lines with the exception of the high voltage line along First Street from P.C.H. to Marina Drive, and the project cost estimated at $560,000. The City Engineer reported the projects previously prioritized by the Council were first, the current project, the second 5-27-86 project to be Pacific Coast Highway between Twelfth Street and Seal Beach Boulevard, the third, Seal Beach Boulevard between Bolsa Avenue and Electric, noting that Main Street was not included on that priority list, also that Pacific Coast Highway to Anderson Street and alley undergrounding had been deleted from the priority list by Council action in 1984. Councilmember Risner stated she had been informed by the Edison representative that the City would be allowed to use up to three years of advance undergrounding monies, I which under current law would be approximately $164,000, additionally that the Public Utilities Commission will be considering a change of that formula which would then allow the City approximately $303,000 for future projects. She noted that Edison would underground and maintain the lighting system on Main Street if Edison fixtures were used, those fixtures similar to those on the Electric Avenue greenbelt. She stated that Edison had indicated their willingness to formulate an undergrounding plan with the City, and suggested that Main Street undergrounding could be considered in the near future utilizing the undergrounding funds, with the decorative fixtures incorporated at a future time. Mayor Clift suggested that Main Street undergrounding could be an item of discussion sometime within the next few months. In response to a question of Mr. John Van Houten, 704 Ocean Avenue, staff confirmed that the City, through the undergrounding funds set aside by Edison, will assume the cost of under grounding up to the residential connector box, the connection itself being the only expense to the property owner.
