Je an <br />City Manage <br />RESOLUTION APPROVING THE 1997-98 FIVE YEAR PROJECT LIST FOR <br />UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT CONVERSION PROJECTS <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION <br />The Underground Utility District Master Plan requires the adoption of a five-year project list each year <br />by the City Council as part of the planning process for the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). <br />Staff recommends approval of the resolution establishing the 1997-98 Five -Year Project List for <br />Underground Utility District Conversion Projects. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Underground Utility District Master Plan, adopted in 1985, provides a systematic approach to <br />converting overhead utility systems to underground systems along the City's major arterial streets. In <br />April, 1992, the Master Plan was amended by the City Council to make it more of a planning tool <br />through an annual review of the project areas included in the Master Plan. Project criteria are now <br />clearly defined in the Master Plan to determine which project areas may be considered as potential <br />Underground Utility Districts within the next five years. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Under the amended Master Plan, conversion projects to be included on the Five -Year Project List are <br />evaluated using the following criteria: <br />1. Anticipated street widening projects. <br />2. Anticipated significant City street improvements other than street widening. <br />3. Potential for major new development. <br />166 <br />
