RESOLUTION NO. 72-22
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA,
CALIFORNIA, URGING THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES AND THE
COUNTY SUPERVISORS' ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA TO MODIFY
COMMISSION CASE NO. 8209 FOR UNDERGROUNDING EXISTING UTILITY
LINES.
WHEREAS, the California Public Utility Commission by Case No.
8209 has established the rules and regulations for the conversion of
existing overhead distribution facilities; and
WHEREAS, these rules and regulations now require local government
to become directly involved in the conversion of the customer's service;
and
WHEREAS, this involvement with the customer's service is inefficient,
cumbersome and results in an undue and needless burden being placed on
local government; and
WHEREAS, it is felt that the utility companies should be better
equipped and staffed than a public agency to work with their own customers.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Costa Mesa urges both the League of California Cities and the County
Supervisors' Association to support a change in the existing rules and
regulations for the conversion of the customer's service that would
eliminate the need for local government being directly involved in
converting said service; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is hereby directed to
send copies of this resolution to the League of California Cities, the
County Supervisors' Association of California, and all of the cities in
Orange County.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 22nd day of February, 1972.
