By Minute Motion, approve and adopt the City of Palm Desert Utility Undergrounding Master Plan (UUMP). Strategic Plan The undergrounding of utilities is not addressed in the Strategic Plan. However, in the General Plan, the City Council has established a goal that residents should be encouraged to form assessment districts to finance the undergrounding of overhead utilities. Another goal in the General Plan is that view corridors should be maintained. Additionally, creating a utility undergrounding master plan was included in the goals set for the City Manager for 2017. Background Analysis Since shortly after Palm Desert's incorporation as a city in 1973, new developments have been required to underground utilities. However, many homes in some of the older neighborhoods continue to be served by above ground utility lines. Residents in these areas have expressed concern about the safety, aesthetics, and negative impact on property values caused by above ground utility lines. In response to these concerns, Palm Desert's City Council in March 2015 approved the formation of an Ad Hoc Committee to study utility undergrounding in Palm Desert. The Committee reached a consensus that the relocation of utility lines below ground should be a municipal priority. They recommended that the City Council authorize the preparation of a Master Plan to research the subject and provide a plan for the City and residents to relocate overhead utilities underground. In April 2016, the City Council approved the Committee's recommendations, adopting the undergrounding of all utility lines in Palm Desert as a goal. The Council also authorized the hiring of a consultant to create an Undergrounding Master Plan. Penco Engineering, Inc. was awarded the contract to prepare the master plan in July 2017, and in February March 22, 2018 - Staff Report Approve and Adopt the City of Palm Desert Utility Undergrounding Master Plan Page 2 of 3 2018, they presented the draft master plan at a City Council study session. For a brief summary of the scope of the master plan, or an explanation of Rule 20A, 20B, and 20C projects, please see the executive summary of the UUMP. The master plan lays out a number of ways that utility undergrounding can occur in Palm Desert. The primary distinction for how overhead utilities are to be undergrounded is based upon the location of the poles and who is served by those poles. For residential neighborhoods, the most common way to accomplish utility undergrounding is for homeowners to form an assessment district. Overhead utilities that serve neighborhoods make up the largest portion of utilities to be undergrounded within the City. The City is not allowed to completely finance the undergrounding in these areas, but with approval of the City Council and City Attorney, the City can partner financially with the district to encourage resident participation in the district. The master plan envisions that the bulk of the cost will be borne by the property owners that benefit from the undergrounding, generally through assessment districts. The consultant, in conjunction with City staff, has created a step-by-step guide to assist residents interested in undergrounding utility lines. The guide provides two paths for creating a utility undergrounding district. The undergrounding of overhead utilities that run along arterial streets or near scenic areas is considered to be of general benefit, and as such, is eligible to be funded by credits that are accrued over time, called Rule 20A credits. These credits are tracked by SCE and accrual is based upon the number of rate payers within the city. Because these areas are of general benefit, they are also eligible to be funded by a utility user tax or a city wide Mello -Roos Community Facilities District (CFD). Since this would be designated specifically for undergrounding, this would be considered a special tax requiring approval by two-thirds of those subject to the tax. In order to meet the goals of the City Council, City staff will prepare an implementation plan to supplement the UUMP. With regard to Rule 20A and Rule 20C projects, the implementation plan will make recommendations on which projects to include in the program. Based upon the projects, an estimated value of the cost of construction will be generated, and staff will examine the amount of Rule 20A credits that the City has accrued, and possibly purchased, to determine the shortfall of funds to complete the recommended projects. Once the shortfall is determined, the implementation plan will evaluate and determine the best way for the City to fund the undergrounding work, whether it be by a utility user tax, or a city-wide Mello -Roos CFD. The implementation plan will also examine the Rule 20B residential project areas and perform a survey of residents within neighborhoods to locate areas that have a high concentration of property owners who want to participate in an undergrounding project. The plan will make recommendations regarding ways to encourage property owners to take advantage of the opportunity to relocate the overhead utilities underground. A recommendation will be made regarding the extent to which the City will participate financially in Rule 20B projects. March 22, 2018 - Staff Report Approve and Adopt the City of Palm Desert Utility Undergrounding Master Plan Page 3 of 3 Approval of this UUMP does not authorize any expenditure, but it gives direction to staff and provides a framework to move forward with implementing the goals of the City Council with regard to undergrounding overhead utilities. Fiscal Analysis Approval of the UUMP does not have an immediate fiscal impact. Any expenditures resulting from this plan would need to be budgeted separately during the budget process.

BACKGROUND CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING MASTER PLAN Since shortly after Palm Desert's incorporation as a city in 1973, new development here has been required to underground utilities. The poles and wires that crisscross some of the community's older neighborhoods illustrate that many homes, built prior to incorporation, continue to be served by above ground utility lines. Residents in these areas have expressed concern about the safety, aesthetics, and negative impact on property values caused by above ground utility lines. In response to these concerns, Palm Desert's City Council in March 2015 approved the formation of an ad hoc Committee to study utility undergrounding in Palm Desert. Composed of eight citizen representatives and two City Council members and operating on the premise that underground utilities are preferable to unsightly above ground lines and poles, the Committee reached a consensus that the relocation of utility lines below ground should be a municipal priority. The Committee determined that an early and important step in the process should be the preparation of an undergrounding master plan. In April 2016, the City Council approved the Committee's recommendations, adopting the undergrounding of all utility lines in Palm Desert as a goal. The Council also authorized the hiring of a consultant to create an undergrounding master plan. The master plan lays out a number of ways that utility undergrounding can occur in Palm Desert. For neighborhoods, however, the most common way to accomplish utility undergrounding is for neighbors to form an assessment district. B. SCOPE OF WORK Create a utility undergrounding master plan for the City that includes the following elements: 1. A map identifying areas served by above ground utility infrastructure; 2. Identification and prioritization of locations eligible for Rule 20A funding; 3. An outline of potential boundaries for utility undergrounding assessment districts in residential and commercial areas ineligible for Rule 20A funds that would be logistically and economically feasible; 4. Research and analysis on a toolbox of funding mechanisms for undergrounding that include 20A credits, but also addresses other approaches for 20B projects, such as Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts, a utility tax with proceeds dedicated to utility undergrounding, purchasing Rule 20A credits from other agencies, or other innovative funding methods; 5. Calculations and refined cost estimates for utility undergrounding including updated engineer estimates to arrive at reliable construction costs for proposed projects; 6. Estimates for the mainline construction, and the costs anticipated for the construction from the mainline to the panel. 7. Recommendations on ways to simplify and streamline the City's existing assessment district formation process, including the creation of a Utility undergrounding Guide to be available, at City Hall and online, to property owners interested in learning more about the process. 8. Identification of a metric for measuring the City's annual investment in and progress toward the goal of community -wide undergrounding.

THE FOLLOWING ARE THE CITY'S POTENTIAL RULE 20A PROJECTS WITH SCE COMMENTS: Country Club Drive Frank Sinatra 1 Frank Sinatra 2 Gerald Ford Drive Monterey Ave Portola Ave Tamarisk Row Chia Drive This qualifies, but very expensive due to transmission circuit plus 2 distribution circuits This qualifies, but is very expensive due to transmission voltage This qualifies and is a nice project due to only one distribution circuit This qualifies as a Rule 20A, but due to transmission corridor it is typically 2X as expensive as distribution This qualifies as a Rule 20A, but due to transmission corridor it is typically 2X as expensive as distribution. Also, I don't see the value in including OH distribution crossing of the RR tracks on the north end of the project, but it does qualify This qualifies but is expensive, sections of it are double transmission circuited plus a distribution circuit. Each transmission line requires its own ducts and structures. This entire corridor would be 5X as expensive as a typical R20A. Also, the section that goes off onto (possibly) private property between Portola and Frank Sinatra may not qualify and might need to be excluded This qualifies but very expensive due to transmission circuit This qualifies, is a nice project and not too expensive SCE recommends Frank Sinatra 2 to be our highest priority project, then Chia Drive.

RULE 20A CREDITS CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING MASTER PLAN Palm Desert's Rule 20A balance is $785,312 with an annual allocation of $72,944. The following is the criteria for determining Rule 20A funded projects: 1. The undergrounding will avoid or eliminate an unusually heavy concentration of overhead utility facilities 2. The road or right-of-way occupied by the facilities is extensively used by the general public and carries a heavy volume of pedestrian or vehicular traffic 3. The road or right-of-way adjoins or passes through a civic area, public recreation area, or an area of unusual scenic interest 4. The street or road or right-of-way is considered an arterial street or major collector as defined in the Governor's Office of Planning and Research General Guidelines Cities can purchase credits outside their immediate area. As an example, Laguna Beach recently purchased $300,000 in Rule 20A credits from Indian Wells for $165,000. We have seen a range of $.50/ dollar to $.55/dollar to purchase credits from other cities. Buying credits is a very viable approach to assist in funding Rule 20A projects. It requires finding cities who are interested in selling their 20A credits. Rule 20A projects can become Rule 20C projects if other funding is found. Brian Kolka of SCE, told us the following on December 13, 2017, "Rule 20A allocation funding for each agency is determined by Edison's R20A annual budget. And our budget was cut by 40% for the 2015 Rate Case and we anticipated that it will be cut another 50% with the 2018 Rate Case." For more detail, see page 55 and Appendix 1. RULE 20B FUNDING APPROACHES Projects that do not qualify for Rule 20A funds and were not completed through property development are designated as Rule 20B projects. Rule 20B projects have traditionally been funded through the 1913 Act Assessment Districts. Additional funding mechanisms reviewed include the following: 1. Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFD) 2. Utility User Tax 3. Mello -Roos CFD 4. Utility Surcharge RULE 20C Rule 20C projects are projects that don't qualify for Rule 20A credits and do not fit well in Rule 20B type projects. Rule 20C undergroundings typically are privately funded or a part of a public project. In many cities, when land is redeveloped, owners are required to relocate the utilities underground, so Rule 20C is utilized in those situations. Rule 20C is by far the predominate mechanism for undergrounding overhead utilities in the State of California. Page 6 DRAFT - FINAL PALM DESERT Several of these options are feasible, pros and cons are listed below: This mechanism was really designed for undeveloped properties that want to develop to pay for needed infrastructure to support development. Money is borrowed against the tax increment that is developed from the undeveloped property value to the developed property value. Since the proposed utility undergrounding work is proposed primarily on already developed land, the tax increment captured will be relatively small. This approach does not appear practicable for undergrounding overhead utilities in Palm Desert. This is a feasible mechanism to generate funds for undergrounding overhead utilities. Concerns would be that these are typically enacted City wide and would include a lot of properties that have their utilities already undergrounded if all facilities are included. If it is placed on the ballot as a general services usage, it requires a 50 percent registered voter approval. If it is for a special purpose, like an undergrounding overhead utilities program, it requires a two-thirds registered voter approval. A two-thirds registered voter approval is difficult to achieve particularly when half the City already has utilities that are undergrounded. This could be a viable option for a City wide vote for 20A and 20C projects not including 20B projects. This is a feasible mechanism to generate funds for undergrounding overhead utilities. A positive attribute is that the CFD could be prepared with 2 zones, one City wide for non -Rule 20B projects and then another zone for all Rule 20B type projects. The downside is that it requires a two-thirds voter approval to approve the CFD. This seems to be a viable option for funding City wide projects, Rule 20A and Rule 20C. This may be a feasible mechanism to funding underground projects. It is recommended that the City not consider proceeding in this manner until final court rulings have been made for the Cities of Santa Barbara and San Diego. EIFD Utility User Tax Mello -Roos CFD Utility Surcharge CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING MASTER PLAN The traditional 1913 Act assessment district is still a viable mechanism but it is often criticized for being a slow process, costly and property owner drive. The following are suggestions on how to save costs to the District and time: 1) Form the assessment district before preparing PS&E. 2) Consider having the City bid and manage their undergrounding projects themselves. SCE tacks on a 42% management fee on all civil work included in the project. As an example, the City of Laguna Beach has managed their own projects at a considerable savings for thirty (30) years. SCE has no added management fee for just their work. 3) Consider having all civil work as a separate City project not included in the District. 4) Develop a fund for soft costs and not charge the assessment district such as: Assessment Engineering, PS&E, Construction Management and Inspection for approved districts. Currently, the largest amount of time is spent on preparing PS&E. SCE will only allow their staff and select consultants to prepare PS&E, which usually takes 1.5 to 2.0 years. Page 7 PALM DESERT DRAFT - FINAL CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING MASTER PLAN It is the author of this report's opinion that a really sound approach to funding the undergrounding of the City's overhead utilities would be twofold as follows: 1) Put in place a utility user tax or property tax (such as a Mello -Roos CFD) to pay for Rule 20A (when Rule 20A credits are not available) and Rule 20C projects. This would be a City wide tax requiring two -third voter approval. 2) Continue with Rule 20B projects through assessment districts incorporating recommendations in this report. For more detail, see pages 55-61. G. COST ESTIMATES FOR UNDERGROUNDING The costs reflected in this utility undergrounding master plan are planning level costs covering a wide range of factors including, but not limited to, utility type (distribution versus transmission), existing terrain, soil conditions, distance, depth of road trenching, road resurfacing, construction methods, traffic control situations, public notifications, service run costs and service entrance reconfiguration costs. Preliminary budget estimates for construction costs for the underground conversion were quantified on a linear foot basis with an approximate unit cost of $1,000 per linear foot for distribution lines and approximately $1,500 per linear foot for transmission lines, which were based on discussions with Southern California Edison Project Management staff and research of similar utility undergrounding projects performed by other public agencies within Southern California. Additionally, the cost to convert overhead service drops to underground varies from $3,000 to $10,000 per property and is based on a number of factors, including the distance from the mainline to the meter based on the property owner's home (the longer the distance, the greater the cost for trench excavation, backfill, conduit, pull tape, fittings, etc.) or whether the contractor is able to bury the line in a trench rather than having to bore under a driveway, retaining wall, fence, etc. Additional cost factors include ease of access, potential tree removals, tree trimming, easement or right of way costs. (It should be noted the costs of the underground conversion of service drops is not reflected in the "total preliminary estimated cost" shown below). A comparison summary of the Citywide Undergrounding Preliminary Opinion of Probable Costs for the various Rule 20 projects is provided below in 2017 dollars: • Rule 20A total preliminary estimated cost = $ 147 million +/- ■ Rule 2013 total preliminary estimated cost = $ 433 million +/- • Rule 20C total preliminary estimated cost = S 34 million +1- TOTAL PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE COST = $ 614 million +/- The breakdown of each total preliminary estimate cost considered the following: ■ Construction Cost for Underground Conversion (approximately $1,000 per linear foot for distribution lines and approximately $1,500 per linear foot for transmission lines) • General Construction Items of Work (includes, but not limited to, mobilization / demobilization, traffic control, clearing and grubbing, shoring, trench safety, road trenching and resurfacing. Cost is approximately 10% of the Construction Cost of Underground Conversion) • Engineering (Design and/or Assessment) & Construction Management / Inspection fees (cost is approximately 15% of the Construction Cost of Underground Conversion) • 30% Contingency (planning level) For more detail, see pages 62-66. Page 8 DRAFT - FINAL PALM DESERT CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING MASTER PLAN H. STREAMLINE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT FORMATION PROCESS - UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING GUIDE There are two basic approaches to forming Undergrounding Utility Assessment Districts. One is to prepare complete plans and specifications and have construction bids in hand before forming the Assessment District; the other is to form the Assessment District and then prepare plans and specification and then get construction bids. Both processes have pros and cons as described below: Design: Before District Formation Pro • Advantage is costs are known before balloting and forming the District Con • Plans, specifications and bidding process must be paid for up front before forming the District ■ After paying the up front costs, the District could fail to be formed ■ It can take two years to have the plans and specifications prepared and construction bids received and support for the District could change during this period Design: After District Formation Pro • Once the petition is approved, the City can immediately order the Engineer's Report, go to ballot and form the Assessment District • Up front costs are significantly less and the time period to form the District is reduced to about 3-4 months • It is known whether you have an Assessment District before preparing plans and specifications and obtaining bids Con • Disadvantage is the bids could come in higher than the estimated cost in the Engineer's Report causing a shortfall in assessment funds For more detail, see pages 67-73.

INTRODUCTION / PROJECT APPROACH DRAFT - FINAL CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING MASTER PLAN The City of Palm Desert's RFP, dated May 1, 2017 identified the following key elements that needed to be addressed in the preparation of the Utility Undergrounding Master Plan, UTILITY RESEARCH & COORDINATION AND GIS MAPPING Utility coordination is an integral element in the planning and implementation of the Utility Undergrounding Master Plan. Accurate and complete mapping of the City's 67 miles of above ground utilities is essential for maintaining the overall project schedule and budget. PENCO's proactive management of the relationships witFi the utility providers involved with this project is the key to the success of this task. PENCO immediately began the utility coordination process via initial utility research and investigation, developed utility contacts through the utility notification process and performed site investigations to verify existence and locations of power poles and above ground utilities to confirm.the accuracy of the utility maps we obtained. Additionally, PENCO utilized the information collected from the utility maps and field visits to build onto the City's and utility owner's Geographical Information System (GIS) framework as a basis of informing residents and the public community of identifying and locating the above ground utilities within City limits. The GIS spatially models the location (XYZ, as needed) of the power poles, wires, guy wires, supports and conduits, risers, above ground distribution transformers in detail. The resultant GIS represents the integration of above ground utility information previously only retrievable via field visits and drawers full of detailed drawn underground electric, cable TV and telephone utility plans into one seamless utility wide map. When viewed in the context of geography, the City's aboveground utility data is quickly understood by the public, and provides efficient delivery of map and geographic record information to the public, City staff and other agencies and special interest groups. RULE 20A The following criteria has been applied throughout the City of Palm Desert to determine potential Rule 20A funded projects: 1. The undergrounding will avoid or eliminate an unusually heavy concentration of overhead utility facilities 2. The road or right-of-way occupied by the facilities is extensively used by the general public and carries a heavy volume of pedestrian or vehicular traffic 3. The road or right-of-way adjoins or passes through a civic area, public recreation area, or an area of unusual scenic interest 4. The street or road or right-of-way is considered an arterial street or major collector as defined in the Governor's Office of Planning and Research General Guidelines A list of projects have been identified by PENCO and Southern California Edison (SCE) has confirmed the list. The list is attached herein for City staff review. Page 10 r) PALM DESERT RULE 20B DRAFT - FINAL CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING MASTER PLAN These are project areas that do not receive Rule 20A funds and have already been developed with over head utilities and will not be redeveloped in the near future. These potential project areas have been reviewed and boundaries determined. The state enabling Acts for undergrounding districts were applied along with Proposition 218 as applicable. All potential boundaries will be reviewed with City staff and confirmed. FUNDING MECHANISMS AND STREAMLING THE FORMATION PROCESS All possible funding mechanisms for Rule 20A & B projects will be considered. Those mechanisms will include the following: 1. Rule 20A credits 2. Purchasing 20A credits from other Cities 3. Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFD) 4. Utility Tax 5. Mello -Roos CFD 6. Utility Surcharge (City of San Diego as an example) 7. Traditional 1913 Act Assessment District with a streamline approach Each alternative is summarized in this Master Plan Report with a description of pros and cons. All work has been completed in compliance with the RFP and results are described on the following pages. P,igE' 11 DRAFT - FINAL PALM DESERT CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING MASTER PLAN 3. MAPS IDENTIFYING AREA SERVED BY ABOVE GROUND UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE Based an the research conducted during the preparation of this master plan, the City of Palm Desert encompasses approximately 67 miles of above ground utility lines that traverse arterial, secondary, collector and local streets. See Figure 1 of an av map showing the locations of the above ground utilities within City limits and see Figure 2 for a map depicting the locations of the Rule 20A projects, Rule 20B boundari tit+u Rule 20C projects. To document and maintain accurate records of areas served by above ground utility lines, a Geographic Information System (GIS) geodatabase has been prepared and referenced in the City's ArcGIS network. The following .r..Lir_ describe the methodology for identifying the master plan study area within the City of Palm Desert, evaluating the data collected via requests for utility inventory maps, GPS survey and field investigations and a brief description of basis of the development and contents of the City's GIS geodatabase of the aboveground utilities.

SCE operates two different types of major overhead facilities: namely, distribution and transmission lines. The distribution line system receives power from the transmission system and makes electricity available at a usable voltage to smaller areas. The transmission line system provides high voltage services to a large regional area. Frontier telecommunications service lines were also found on SCE distribution poles, and service the same parcels as SCE. Additionally, GIS facility maps were obtained from the City, which contained streets, parcel lines, boundaries, street centerlines and benchmark monumentation. The City's control network is based upon California Coordinate System CC583, Zone 6, 2004 Epoch. To further develop an accurate depiction of the above ground utility lines, a detailed GPS survey was performed to geospatially (i.e. collect XYZ coordinates) locate the position of the existing power poles within City limits. Generally, the power poles were located along the sidewalk / parkways of City streets. Page 15 PALM DESERT DRAFT - FINAL CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING MASTER PLAN However, several power poles were observed to be located in the backyards of resident's homes. Subsequently, a field investigation was conducted to perform a quality control check of the GPS survey and to collect the following data: • Power Pole ID# (designated by SCE) • Type of Pole (e.g. wood) • Bearing / direction of above ground utility lines • Quantity of above ground utility lines (from pole to pole) • Existence of transformers • Existence of guy anchors The data collected from the utility atlas maps, record drawings, GPS survey and field reviews were digested, further refined and ultimately utilized to generate an inventory database of above ground utility lines in GIS electronic format. GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) DATABASE OF ABOVE GROUND UTILITIES Mapping and data analysis for this master plan utilized ArcG1S Desktop software. ArcG1S Desktop has a map -making interface where users are able to add several map layers containing geospatial data for storing, checking and displaying data within a common geographic framework. The GIS database was compiled using ArcGIS Desktop which uses northing and easting coordinates gathered through the GPS survey and field review performed, and facility maps obtained of the above ground utility lines. The visual features that appear on the GIS map are physical power poles and areas where the wires anchor into the ground (i.e. guy anchors). These features are linked to an attribute table that has one row per feature that describes other characteristics that are not visually represented on the map, such as pole owner, direction and number of overhead wires, the presence of a transformer, and the presence of a cobra head street light on the pole, but pertain to characterizing the power pole. The data collected for the GIS database also contributed to the delineation of Rule 20A or Rule 20C areas (organized by street) and Rule 20B areas (organized by assessment districts). Page 16 DRAFT - FINAL PALM DESERT CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING MASTER PLAN 4. IDENTIFICATION AND PRIORITIZATION OF LOCATIONS ELIGIBLE FOR 20A FUNDING Rule 20A projects have been determined by using the methodology described in Section 2 and field review by our project manager. The Rule 20A projects are depicted on pages 18 through 25. These maps also indicate the linear footage of power line to be removed and the number of power poles to be removed. We had SCE, Brian Kolka, review our proposed Rule 20A projects, they concurred with our list and offered I the following comments: Rule 20A: Country Club Drive Frank Sinatra 1 Frank Sinatra 2 Gerald Ford Drive Monterey Ave Portola Ave Tamarisk Row Chia Drive This qualifies, but very expensive due to transmission circuit plus 2 distribution circuits This qualifies, but is very expensive due to transmission voltage This qualifies and is a nice project due to only one distribution circuit This qualifies as a Rule 20A, but due to transmission corridor it is typically 2X as expensive as distribution This qualifies as a Rule 20A, but clue to transmission corridor it is typically 2X as expensive as distribution. Also, I don't see the value in including OH distribution crossing of the RR tracks on the north end of the project, but it does qualify This qualifies but is expensive, sections of it are double transmission circuited plus a distribution circuit. Each transmission line requires its own ducts and structures. This entire corridor would be SX as expensive as a typical R20A. Also, the section that goes off onto (possibly) private property between Portola and Frank Sinatra may not qualify and might need to be excluded This qualifies but very expensive due to transmission circuit This qualifies, is a nice project and not too expensive SCE recommends Frank Sinatra 2 to be our highest priority project, then Chia Drive.

RULE 20B BOUNDARY MAPS / 20C PROJECTS Potential Boundaries for Assessment Districts (or Rule 20B projects) have been determined by using the methodology described in Section 2 and field review by our project manager. Please note that some of the boundaries may divide into more than one district. The boundaries are depicted on pages 27 through 48. These maps also list the number of parcels, linear footage of power line to be removed and the number of power poles to be removed. In addition, we have added Rule 20C maps. These are projects that don't qualify for Rule 20A credits and do not fit well in Rule 20B type projects. Actually, Rule 20C is by far the predominate mechanism for u'ndergrounding overhead utilities in the State of California. Rule 20C undergroundings typically are privately funded or a part of a public project. They follow the Rule 20B maps on pages 49 through 54.

RULE 20A CREDITS, FUNDING APPROACHES FOR RULE 20B PROJECTS RULE 20A CREDITS Utility Companies will fund and complete Rule 20A projects through the use of Rule 20A credits. Cities throughout California receive Rule 20A credits on an annual basis and accrue them until they have enough to complete a project. in Palm Desert's case, as of this writing, the City's balance is $785,312 with an annual allocation of $72,944. The following is the criteria for determining Rule 20A funded projects: 1. The undergrounding will avoid or eliminate an unusually heavy concentration of overhead utility facilities 2. The road right-of-way occupied by the facilities is extensively used by the general public and carries a heavy volume of pedestrian or vehicular traffic 3. The road or right-of-way adjoins or passes through a civic area, public recreation area, or an area of unusual scenic interest 4. The street or road or right-of-way is considered an arterial street or major collector as defined in the Governor's Office of Planning and Research General Guidelines Cities can purchase credits outside their immediate area. As an example, Laguna Beach recently purchased $300,000 in Rule 20A credits from Indian Wells for $165,000. We have seen a range of $.50/ dollar to $.55/dollar to purchase credits from other cities. Buying credits is a very viable approach to assist in funding Rule 20A projects. It requires finding cities who are interested in selling their 20A credits. Rule 20A projects can become Rule 20C projects if other funding is found. Brian Kolka of SCE, told us the following on December 13, 2017, "Rule 20A allocation funding for each agency is determined by Edison's R20A annual budget. And our budget was cut by 40% for the 2015 Rate Case and we anticipated that it will be cut another 50% with the 2018 Rate Case." See Appendix 1 for SCE's list of Rule 20A credit balances as of December 31, 2015. RULE 20B FUNDING APPROACHES These projects are those that do not qualify for Rule 20A funds and were not completed through property development also known as Rule 20C. Rule 20B projects have traditionally been funded through the 1913 Act Assessment Districts; a streamline approach is described in Section 7. Other funding mechanisms include the following: 1. Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFD) 2. Utility User Tax 3. Mello -Roos CFD 4. Utility Surcharge (City of San Diego as an example) Page 55 PALM DESERT 1. Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFD) DRAFT - FINAL CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UNDERGROUND1NG MASTER PLAN SB 628 (Beall) authorizes the creation of a new governmental entity called an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD). One or more of these districts may be created within a city or county and used to finance the construction or rehabilitation of a wide variety of public infrastructure and private facilities. An EIFD may fund these facilities and development with the property tax increment of those taxing agencies (cities, counties, special districts, but not schools) that consent. EIFD's are also authorized to combine tax increment funding with other permitted funding sources including: • Property tax revenue distributed to a city, county or special district after payment of a successor agency's debts • Revenues dedicated by a city or county to the EIFD from property tax corresponding to the increase in assessed valuation of taxable property attributed to those property tax shares received by a city or county pursuant to in lieu of Vehicle License Fees (VLF) • Fee or assessment revenues derived from one of 10 specified existing sources • Loans from a city, county or special district, that must be repaid at no more than the LAIF interest rate that is in effect on the date the loan is approved by the governing board of the city, county or special district making the loan Facilities financed by an EIFD may include but are not limited to: Public Infrastructure and Facilities: • Highways, interchanges, ramps and bridges, arterial street, parking and transit facilities • Sewage treatment, water reclamation plants and interceptor pipes • Facilities for the transfer and disposal of solid waste, including transfer stations and vehicles • Facilities to collect and treat water for urban uses • Flood control levees and dams, retention basins, and drainage canals • Parks, recreational facilities, open space and libraries • Brownfield restoration and other environmental mitigation. A district may use powers of the Polanco Redevelopment Act to remediate property • Projects on a closed military base consistent with approved base reuse plans. Funds may also be used to repay loans made pursuant to Section 67851 to a military base reuse authority on or after the creation of the district Private Facilities: • Acquisition, construction and repair of industrial structures for private use • Transit priority projects as defined under Section 21155 of the Public Resources Code • Projects which implement a sustainable communities strategy • Mixed -income housing developments (An EIFD may fund only those units dedicated to low or moderate income housing, and child care, after -school care and social services) Page 56 DRAFT - FINAL PALM DESERT CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING MASTER PLAN • Reimbursement of a developer located within the boundaries of a district for permit and other expenses incurred when constructing affordable housing pursuant to the Transit Priority Project Program under Section 65470 of the Government Code • Facilities constructed to house providers of consumer goods and services • Child care facilities PROCESS FOR CREATING AN EIFD SB 628 provides that a city or county that created a redevelopment agency may not create an EIFD or participate on the PFA until each of the following has occurred: • The successor agency receives a finding of completion from Department of Finance (DOF) • The city/county certifies to DOF that no former redevelopment agency assets are the subject of litigation involving the state, where the city, successor agency or designated local authority are a named plaintiff, have been or will be used to benefit any efforts on a EIFD until the legal process has concluded • The State Controller has completed its review of agency-city/county asset transfers after January 1, 2011, pursuant to section 34167.5; and the successor agency has complied with the findings and orders of the State Controller stemming from those reviews. If an EIFD is created within a former redevelopment project area, property tax within the area must first be used for payment of the successor agency's enforceable obligations. Since the City of Palm Desert had a redevelopment agency, all of the above provisions would apply. ADOPTION OF INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING PLAN Once any certification associated with the dissolution of a former redevelopment agency is completed, the initiating city or county may establish one or more districts by resolution. Following that, the city or county directs the preparation of an infrastructure financing plan that includes the details of the public facilities and other forms of development that is proposed within the area of the district and how those facilities and development will be funded. A variety of funding sources are available. The legislation envisions the main funding source will be property tax increment generated within the area encompassed by the EIFD. The preparation of an infrastructure financing plan will include discussions with other taxing entities (county, special districts) to determine whether they consent to transferring their share of the property tax increment or other eligible revenue to the EIFD for the purpose of financing facilities and development. Amounts contributed to the district by other taxing entities need not be the same for all taxing entities. There is flexibility for amounts contributed to vary and change over time. Prior to approving a plan, the legislative body shall hold a public hearing with ample notice provisions to provide an opportunity for comments from landowners within the district, taxing agencies, and members of the public. Upon adoption, the plan is transferred to the Public Financing Authority (PFA) for implementation. Page 57 PALM DESERT DRAFT - FINAL CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UNOERGROUNDING MASTER PLAN PROVISIONS AFFECTING ISSUING BONDS, LOAN AND AUDITS The PFA may issue bonds payable from funds or properties of the district with 55% voter approval of either voters or landowners within the District. If at least 12 persons are registered to vote within the District, then the vote is by registered voters. If fewer than 12 persons are registered, then the vote is by landowners within the District. Each landowner has one vote for each acre or portion of an acre of land that s/he owns. A public agency is not considered a "landowner" unless all of the land in the district is owned by the public agency. A city, county, or special district that contains territory within the District may loan money to the District to fund the activities described in the Plan at the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) rate of interest in effect at the time of the loan. Every two years after the issuance of bonds, the District must contract for an independent financial and performance audit conducted according to guidelines established by the Controller. A copy of the audit is provided to the Controller, DOF, and the Joint Legislative Budget Committee.' 2. Utility User Tax The Utility User Tax (UUT) may be imposed by a city on the consumption of utility services, including (but not limited to) electricity, gas, water, sewer, telephone (including cell phone and long distance), sanitation and cable television. A county may levy a UUT on the consumption of electricity, gas, water, sewer, telephone, telegraph and cable television services in the unincorporated area. The rate of the tax and the use of its revenues are determined by the local agency. The tax is levied by the city or county on the consumer of the utility services, collected by the utility as a part of its regular billing procedure, and then remitted to the city or county. Most of the cities and counties with UUTs adopted the taxes prior to 1986 by vote of the city council (or in the case of a county UUT, the county board of supervisors). Any increase or extension of a local tax now requires voter approval. Statewide, city and county utility user taxes generate nearly $2 billion per year. Exemptions State and federal government agencies, and gas and water used by utility companies to generate electricity are exempt from utility user taxes. Cities and Counties with UUTs as of 1/1/2017 Cities Counties Total Calif Population Covered Total UUTs 157 4 161 54.0% Telephone UUTs 149 4 153 49.5% Electricity 156 4 160 52.7% Gas 156 4 160 52.7% Cable TV 90 1 91 22.8% Water 85 1 86 24.7% Sewer 14 1 15 2.7% Garbage 12 0 12 1.3% San Francisco is counted as a county Page 58 f] PALM DESERT APPROVAL PROCESS DRAFT - FINAL CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING MASTER PLAN Proposition 218 requires a utility user tax to be approved by the voters of that jurisdiction. If it is a general tax, it requires a 50% approval and if it is a special tax, it requires a two-thirds approval.' 1 Information obtained from the California League of Cities 2 Information obtained from CaliforniaCityFinance.com 3. Mello -Roos CFD In 1982, the Mello -Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Government Code §53311-53368.3) was created to provide an alternate method of financing for needed improvements and services. The Act allows any county, city, special district, school district or joint powers authority to establish a Mello -Roos Community Facilities District (a "CFD") which allows for financing of public improvements and services. The services and improvements that Mello -Roos CFDs can finance include streets, sewer systems and other basic infrastructure, police protection, fire protection, ambulance services, schools, parks, libraries, museums and other cultural facilities. By law, the CFD is also entitled to recover expenses needed to form the CFD and administer the annual special taxes and bonded debt. A CFD is created to finance public improvements and services when no other source of money is available. CFDs are normally formed in undeveloped areas and are used to build roads and install water and sewer systems so that new homes or commercial space can be built. CFDs are also used in older areas to finance new schools or other additions to the community. A CFD is created by a sponsoring local government agency. The proposed district will include all properties that will benefit from the improvements to be constructed or the services to be provided. A CFD cannot be formed without a two-thirds majority vote of residents living within the proposed boundaries. Or, if there are fewer than 12 residents, the vote is instead conducted of current landowners. In many cases, that may be a single owner or developer. Once approved, a Special Tax Lien is placed against each property in the CFD. Property owners then pay a Special Tax each year. If the project cost is high, municipal bonds will be sold by the CFD to provide the large amount of money initially needed to build the improvements or fund the services. A CFD could be formed in zones for undergrounding overhead utilities, one as city wide tax for unfunded Rule 20A projects and another zone for just neighborhoods that have not yet undergrounded, Rule 20B, 4. Utility Surcharge — San Diego This is a fee on utility bills enacted by a city council without approval of the voters. The local utility company collects the fees and then transfers the funds to the city. The City of San Diego charges roughly 6 percent of their combined electric and gas bill to customers on their local utility bill. Half of these fees collected this way go to a utility undergrounding program. The City of San Diego is being sued, the lawsuit alleges that surcharges are in fact a tax and have been enacted without following the requirement of Proposition 218. The City of Santa Barbara has a surcharge at 1 percent and has also been sued. The money collected goes into the City's general fund. They are being sued for not complying with Proposition 218. An appellate court ruled against the City of Santa Barbara and the City of Santa Barbara has decided to appeal to the State Supreme Court. The City of San Diego's case is supposed to be heard in the summer of 2018. Page 59 PALM DESERT Several of these options are feasible, pros and cons are listed below: This mechanism was really designed for undeveloped properties that want to develop to pay for needed infrastructure to support development. Money is borrowed against the tax increment that is developed from the undeveloped property value to the developed property value. Since the proposed utility undergrounding work is proposed primarily on already developed land, the tax increment captured will be relatively small. This approach does not appear practicable for undergrounding overhead utilities in Palm Desert. This is a feasible mechanism to generate funds for undergrounding overhead utilities. Concerns would be that these are typically enacted City wide and would include a lot of properties that have their utilities already undergrounded if all facilities are included. If it is placed on the ballot as a general services usage, it requires a 50 percent registered voter approval. If it is for a special purpose, like an undergrounding overhead utilities program, it requires a two-thirds registered voter approval. A two-thirds registered voter approval is difficult to achieve particularly when half the City already has utilities that are undergrounded. This could be a viable option for a City wide vote for 20A and 20C projects not including 20B projects. This is a feasible mechanism to generate funds for undergrounding overhead utilities. A positive attribute is that the CFD could be prepared with 2 zones, one City wide for non -Rule 20B projects and then another zone for all Rule 20B type projects. The downside is that it requires a two-thirds voter approval to approve the CFD. This seems to be a viable option for funding City wide projects, Rule 20A and Rule 20C. This may be a feasible mechanism to funding underground projects. It is recommended that the City not consider proceeding in this manner until final court rulings have been made for the Cities of Santa Barbara and San Diego. EIFD Utility User Tax Mello -Roos CFD Utility Surcharge DRAFT - FINAL CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING MASTER PLAN The traditional 1913 Act assessment district is still a viable mechanism but it is often criticized for being a slow process, costly and property owner drive. The following are suggestions on how to save costs to the District and time: 1) Form the assessment district before preparing PS&E 2) Consider having the City bid and manage their undergrounding projects themselves. SCE tacks on a 42% management fee on all civil work included in the project. As an example, the City of Laguna Beach has managed their own projects at a considerable savings for thirty (30) years. SCE has no added management fee for just their work. 3) Consider having all civil work as a separate City project not included in the District. 4) Develop a fund for soft costs and not charge the assessment district such as: Assessment Engineering, P5&E, Construction Management and Inspection for approved districts. Currently, the largest amount of time is spent on preparing PS&E. SCE will only allow their staff and select consultants to prepare PS&E, which usually takes 1.5 to 2.0 years. Page 60 PALM DESERT 5. Recommended Funding Approach DRAFT - FINAL CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING MASTER PLAN It is the author of this report's opinion that a really sound approach to funding the undergrounding of the City's overhead utilities would be twofold as follows: 1) Put in place a utility user tax or property tax (such as a Mello -Roos CFD) to pay for Rule 20A (when Rule 20A credits are not available) and Rule 20C projects. This would be a City wide tax requiring two -third voter approval. 2) Continue with Rule 20B projects through assessment districts incorporating recommendations in this report. Page 61 PALM DESERT DRAFT - FINAL CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING MASTER PLAN 7. COST ESTIMATES FOR UNDERGROUNDING The costs reflected in this utility undergrounding master plan are planning level costs covering a wide range of factors including, but not limited to, utility type (distribution versus transmission), existing terrain, soil conditions, distance, depth of road trenching, road resurfacing, construction methods, traffic control situations, public notifications, service run costs and service entrance reconfiguration costs. Preliminary budget estimates for construction costs for the underground conversion were quantified on a linear foot basis with an approximate unit cost of $1,000 per linear foot for distribution lines and approximately $1,500 per linear foot for transmission lines, which were based on discussions with Southern California Edison Project Management staff and research of similar utility undergrounding projects performed by other public agencies within Southern California. Additionally, the cost to convert overhead service drops to underground varies from $3,000 to $10,000 per property and is based on a number of factors, including the distance from the mainline to the meter based on the property owner's home (the longer the distance, the greater the cost for trench excavation, backfill, conduit, pull tape, fittings, etc.) or whether the contractor is able to bury the line in a trench rather than having to bore under a driveway, retaining wall, fence, etc. Additional cost factors include ease of access, potential tree removals, tree trimming, easement or right of way costs. (It should be noted the costs of the underground conversion of service drops is not reflected in the "total preliminary estimated cost" shown below). A comparison summary of the Citywide undergrounding Preliminary Opinion of Probable Costs for the various Rule 20 projects is provided in Table 2 on the next page and summarized below: • Rule 20A total preliminary estimated cost = $ 147 million +/- • Rule 20B total preliminary estimated cost = $ 433 million +/- ■ Rule 20C total preliminary estimated cost = $ 34 million +1- TOTAL PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE COST = $ 614 million +/- Furthermore, a detailed cost breakdown pertaining to each Rule 20 type is provided in Tables 3 through 5, i.e. Rule 20A (see Table 3), Rule 20B (see Table 4), and Rule 20C (see Table 5) on pages 64-66. Rule 20A and Rule 20C costs are detailed per street and the lengths of above ground utility lines on each street were quantified based on the maps compiled from the GPS survey, field review, and facility maps of overhead utilities. Rule 20B above ground utility lines were sum -based areas based on the twenty-one (21) assessment districts. The estimated unit costs reflected in Tables 2 through 5 are based on 2017 dollars. The breakdown of each total preliminary estimate cost considered the following: • Construction Cost for Underground Conversion (approximately $1,000 per linear foot for distribution lines and approximately $1,500 per linear foot for transmission lines) • General Construction Items of Work (includes, but not limited to, mobilization / demobilization, traffic control, clearing and grubbing, shoring, trench safety, road trenching and resurfacing. Cost is approximately 10% of the Construction Cost of Underground Conversion) • Engineering (Design and/or Assessment) & Construction Management / Inspection fees (cost is approximately 15% of the Construction Cost of Underground Conversion) ■ 30% Contingency (planning level) The total estimated cost per foot to underground the above ground utilities is recommended to be updated periodically by amendment to this master plan to account for changes in the anticipated inflation costs of utility construction. Therefore, it is recommended that the funding programs established for implementation of the Master Plan make provisions for the increased cost of deferred construction. Inflation factors should be applied to reflect a specific year's total cost over the 2017 total costs.

STREAMLINE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT FORMATION PROCESS - UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING GUIDE There are two basic approaches to forming Undergrounding Utility Assessment Districts. One is to prepare complete plans and specifications and have construction bids in hand before forming the Assessment District; the other is to form the Assessment District and then prepare plans and specification and then get construction bids. Both processes are described on the next four pages, Design: Before District Formation and Design: After District Formation. Both processes have pros and cans as described below: Design: Before District Formation Pro • Advantage is costs are known before balloting and forming the District Con • Plans, specifications and bidding process must be paid for up front before forming the District • After paying the up front costs, the District could fail to be formed • It can take two years to have the plans and specifications prepared and construction bids received and support for the District could change during this period Design: After District Formation Pro • Once the petition is approved, the City can immediately order the Engineer's Report, go to ballot and form the Assessment District • Up front costs are significantly less and the time period to form the District is reduced to about 3 4 months • It is known whether you have an Assessment District before preparing plans and specifications and obtaining bids Con • Disadvantage is the bids could come in higher than the estimated cost in the Engineer's Report causing a shortfall in assessment funds The City could employ both procedures allowing the proponents to help decide which method to utilize after explaining the pros and cons of each process.

The poles and wires that crisscross some of the community's older neighborhoods illustrate that many homes, built prior to incorporation, continue to be served by above ground utility lines. Residents in these areas have expressed concern about the safety, aesthetics, and negative impact on property values caused by above ground utility lines. In response to these concerns, Palm Desert's City Council in March 2015 approved the formation of an ad hoc Committee to study utility undergrounding in Palm Desert. Composed of eight citizen representatives and two City Council members and operating on the premise that underground utilities are preferable to unsightly above ground lines and poles, the Committee reached a consensus that the relocation of utility lines below ground should be a municipal priority. The Committee determined that an early and important step in the process should be the preparation of an undergrounding master plan. In April 2016, the City Council approved the Committee's recommendations, adopting the undergrounding of all utility lines in Palm Desert as a goal. The Council also authorized the hiring of a consultant to create an undergrounding master plan. The master plan lays out a number of ways that utility undergrounding can occur in Palm Desert. For neighborhoods, however, the most common way to accomplish utility undergrounding is for neighbors to form an assessment district. Two options for this multi -step, multi -year process a r e explained below including the standard process and a fast track option designed to speed the process when there is broad neighborhood support. V11164°4'-'44i IOW/ Page 1 Page 69 r3 PALM DESERT 0 PALM DESERT DRAFT - FINAL CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING MASTER PLAN City of Palm Desert Utility Undergrounding - Step -By -Step Guide Option One — Fast Track Assessment District Formation 1. The process is initiated by an interested property owner, who acts as a liaison between the City, utility companies, and neighbors. The property owners who support undergrounding submit a letter to the City's Public Works Department expressing their interest in forming an Underground Utility Assessment District. The letter should include a description of the proposed boundaries of the area to be undergrounded. 2. Based on the interest letter, City staff prepares a boundary map and submits it to the appropriate utility companies who review the map to ensure that the boundaries are logical and feasible. Once the district boundaries are accepted by all parties, the utility companies provide the City with a preliminary cost estimate for the design and construction of the undergrounding project. 3. The City then prepares a petition to be circulated by proponents to all affected property owners within the proposed district boundaries. The petition states the approximate amount that each property owner would pay if the property owners vote to form the district to accomplish the undergrounding project. In order for the process to continue, at least 70 percent of the property owners must sign and express support. This petition is a "show of support" and nonbinding. The City is neutral regarding City -owned parcels within the District. 4. Once the petition is certified by the Assessment Engineer, Public Works will prepare a staff report requesting City Council approval to move forward. With Council approval, the Assessment Engineer will prepare an Engineer's Report. This report documents the assessment that each property owner within the district would pay, should the district be approved. This report uses the preliminary estimated construction costs provided by the utility companies. If the district is formed, funds expended by the City on costs related to formation of the district will be recovered during the assessment process. If the district fails, the City's funds will be lost. 5. The Engineer's Report and Resolution of Intention are submitted to the City Council for approval and a public hearing is scheduled. 6. The Ballots are prepared with the assessment amount and sent to each property owner within the proposed district boundaries. Each property owner then votes for or against the formation of the district. Each vote is weighted or valued based upon the dollar value of each property owner's proposed assessment. Page 2 Page 70 DRAFT - FINAL PALM DESERT ..r3 PALM DESERT CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UNDERGROUND!NG MASTER PLAN City of Palm Desert Utility Undergrounding - Step -By -Step Guide 7. All votes must be submitted to the City prior to the end of the scheduled public hearing. The district passes if the district received greater than 50% approval. If the district passes, all property owners within the district will be responsible for the assessment amounts regardless of a property owner's personal vote. Following approval by the property owners, the detailed design process begins. It usually involves the following steps: a. Base mapping b. Southern California Edison electrical design c. Telephone and cable design The duration of each step varies depending on the number of underground districts in the queue, the size of the proposed district, and the complexity of the design. This phase could take more than two years to complete. Once the project is fully designed, it will be bid with a contract awarded, and then constructed. Option Two — Traditional Method 1. The process is initiated by an interested property owner, who acts as a liaison between the City, utility companies, and neighbors. The property owners who support undergrounding submit a letter to the City's Public Works Department expressing their interest in forming an Underground Utility Assessment District. The letter should include a description of the proposed boundaries of the area to be undergrounded. 2. Based on the interest letter, City staff prepares a boundary map and submits it to the appropriate utility companies who review the map to ensure that the boundaries are logical and feasible. Once the district boundaries are accepted by all parties, the utility companies provide the City with a preliminary cost estimate for the design and construction of the undergrounding project. 3. The City then prepares a petition to be circulated by proponents to all affected property owners within the proposed district boundaries. The petition states the approximate amount that each property owner would pay if the property owners vote to form the district to accomplish the undergrounding project. In order for the process to continue, at least 70 percent of the property owners must sign and express support. This petition is a "show of support" and nonbinding. The City is neutral regarding City -owned parcels within the District. 4. Once the petition is certified by the Assessment Engineer, Public Works will prepare a staff report requesting City Council approval for funds for design of the undergrounding project to be advanced from the Page 3 Page 71 r) PALM DESERT _ra PALM DESERT DRAFT - FINAL CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UN1ERGROUNDING MASTER PLAN City at Palm Desert Utility Undergrounding - Step -By -Step Guide City's General Fund. If the district is formed, the advanced funds will be recovered during the assessment process. If the district fails, the funds will be lost. 5. The design process begins once the utility companies receive the design fee. The process usually involves the following steps: a. Base mapping b. Southern California Edison electrical design c. Telephone and cable design The duration of each step varies depending on the number of underground districts in the queue, the size of the proposed district, and the complexity of the design. 6. Once the design is complete and accepted by the City and utility companies, the utility companies provide a "guaranteed cost of construction." The Assessment Engineer will use this guaranteed cost and all other costs incurred in the past and anticipated in the future to generate the Engineer's Report. This report documents the assessment amount that each property owner within the district would be responsible for if the district is successful. 7. The completed design plans, Engineer's Report, and Resolution of Intention are submitted to the City Council for approval and a public hearing is scheduled. An informal property owner meeting is held prior to the public hearing to explain the details of the proposed district. 8. Ballots are prepared with the assessment amount and sent to each property owner within the proposed district's boundaries. Each owner votes for or against forming the district. Each vote is weighted based on the dollar value of each property owner's proposed assessment. 9_ All votes must be submitted to the City prior to the end of the scheduled public hearing. The district passes if the district received greater than 50% approval. If the district passes, all property owners within the district will be responsible for the assessment amounts regardless of a property owner's personal vote. Page 4 Page 72 ti PALM DESERT PALM DESERT DRAFT - FINAL CITY OF PALM DESERT UTILITY UNUERGROUNDING MASTER PLAN City of Palm Desert Utility Undergrounding - Step -By -Step Guide Paying the Assessment and Final Steps Regardless of whether a neighborhood chooses the standard or fast track method of assessment district formation, the property owners will have two options to pay for the assessment. 1. 30-Day Cash Payment Period: Within 30 days after the close of the public hearing, the property owner has the option to pay the full or a portion of the assessment amount. The property owner will save approximately 8% on the portion of the assessment paid in cash. This 8% savings results from not selling bonds for the amount owed. Bonds will be sold for any unpaid portion of the assessment and a hen will be placed on the property until the bond is paid in full. 2. Bond: If the property owner elects to not pay during the 30-Day Cash Payment Period, bonds will be sold. Assessments will be placed on the property tax bill to be paid over a 20 to 25-year financing period. During that time, a lien will be placed on the property until the bond amount is paid in full. Bonds will incur a finance charge. When construction of the main fine underground infrastructure has been completed, all property owners will be notified that it is time to perform their private conversions. Private conversions require property owners to hire a licensed electrician to connect the property's existing overhead connection to the underground infrastructure. The cost of the private conversion is not covered in the assessment amount. The assessment amount only covers work performed in the public right-of-way. It is the property owner's responsibility to perform the conversion within the designated time frame. Delays caused by one property owner's private conversion, will cause delays to the whole district because overhead structures cannot be removed until all properties have completed their private conversions. It is important to note that, from the initial letter to the last private conversion, the average process takes approximately seven years, depending on the size of district. The bond financing period information provided above is based on an average of past assessment districts and varies depending on current rates and the district's size.
