SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR FUNDING FOR PROPOSED
ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 94 (PACIFIC DRIVE)
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve a budget amendment authorizing an advance from the General Fund in the
amount of $18,060.00 to Assessment District No. 94 and appropriate $11,260.00 to
74094 -9810 for SCE electric design and $6,800.00 to 74094 -9811 for SBC phone design.
DISCUSSION:
The property owners of Proposed Underground Assessment District No. 94 have
submitted petitions to the City requesting a special Assessment District be formed to
finance and underground overhead utilities. The boundaries of the proposed District are
shown on the attached Exhibit "A ".
One of the initial steps in the District formation process is the circulation of the Petition for
Special Assessment Proceedinqs. Proponents of the District circulated a petition to the
property owners and have submitted the signed petition to the City. The Assessment
Engineer has certified the petitions, which represent 62 percent (62 %) of the assessable
area of property within the boundaries of the proposed Assessment District. The City's
guidelines require a minimum of 60 percent (60 %) in favor of the District in order to proceed
with the formation of a District.
Southern California Edison (SCE) and SBC Communications, Inc. (SBC) are responsible
for the design of their utilities. In order to initiate the design of these facilities, the City
must remit $11,260.00 to SCE and $6,800.00 to SBC. The utility design costs will be
reimbursed to the City by the District if it is formed at the final Public Hearing. However,
the funds will not be recovered if the District is not formed. The City Council has
previously authorized the advancements of funds for other districts.

This letter is a revised estimate to a letter dated January 19, 2001 in response to the City's request for a preliminary estimate
for the proposed Assessment District No. 94. The assessment district is comprised of the area bounded by the homes along
both sides of Pacific Drive in Corona Del Mar.
A new "rough" estimate of $205,000.00 was calculated using the new pavement restoration guidelines and by looking at an
overview of the job. All conduit and trench footages were approximated for this estimate as well as the number of structures,
such as manholes and handholes. These numbers will change when the final design has been completed. This estimate
consideredjoint participation with Southern California Edison and Adelphia Communications but is dependant on their final
designs, which would affect the cost as well.
A deposit payment of $6,800.0o will be required prior to any design work. The deposit is non - refundable but will be applied to
the cost of the job. Upon receipt of the deposit, SBC -West will commence with the design of the requested work and provide
the City of Newport Beach within approximately 6 months after receiving Edison's design the final cost of the project based on
the actual conduit design and the use of anyjoint trench by the participating utilities.
The deposit is not required at this time but once the City plans to proceed with the assessment district a billing letter will be
issued for the deposit. Please contact me when the decision has been made.
Please call me at (714) 666 -5710 if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Jeff Merickel
