Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - March 4, 1991 Page - 4 - <br /> NEW BUSINESS (continued) <br /> D. Motion Recommending Participation in a Peace-Tree Planting Program <br /> Sponsored by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team. <br /> Dennis Smith, Recreation-Human Resources Director, said the Recreation <br /> and Parks Commission was approached by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team to <br /> participate in a low-key project in favor of peace. He said it had been <br /> suggested that a tree which would be in keeping with the other trees be <br /> planted at the Memorial Grove in Marina Park and that a plaque be <br /> installed by the group. <br /> MINUTE ORDER NO. 91-17 (1028/2150) <br /> MOTION APPROVING RECOMMENDATION TO PARTICIPATE <br /> IN A PEACE-TREE PLANTING PROGRAM <br /> SPONSORED BY THE SRI CHINMOY MARATHON TEAM <br /> On motion by Council Member Santos who moved its approval , seconded by Council <br /> Member Corbett and carried by the following called vote, the City Council <br /> approved participation in a Peace-Tree Planting Program sponsored by the Sri <br /> Chinmoy Marathon Team. <br /> AYES: Council Members Corbett, Faria, Glaze, Perry, Polvorosa, Santos; <br /> Mayor Karp ( 7 ) <br /> NOES: None ( 0 ) <br /> ABSENT: None ( 0 ) <br /> E. Resolution Calling for a Public Hearing on the Removal of Poles, Overhead <br /> Wires and Associated Overhead Structures from Portions of Washington <br /> Avenue, Lewelling Boulevard and Abutting Properties, Including <br /> Intersecting Streets. <br /> Council Member Faria asked why this undergrounding was coming before the <br /> City Council at this time. He questioned whether the intersection of <br /> Washington/Lewelling was in the Undergrounding Master Plan. He said he <br /> thought this work was not to be done for a few more years. <br /> Bill Silva, City Engineer, said the intersection is included in the <br /> Master Plan of City Streets and that undergrounding of poles is provided <br /> for. He said the undergrounding will have to be completed prior to <br /> construction or ultimate widening of the intersection. <br /> Council Member Faria expressed his concern regarding use of PG&E 20A <br /> funds for this work. He asked questions regarding the cost to the <br /> merchants and property owners in the area. <br /> Mr. Silva said the cost to property owners would be the actual cost for <br /> conversion for running power underground from the poles to each building. <br /> He said the cost would probably range from $600 to $2,500. He said all <br /> of the costs for undergrounding the poles would be paid for with 20A <br /> funds. <br />
