Regular City Council Meeting AND <br /> Board of Adjustments and Appeals <br /> Monday,July 09,2012 <br /> Page 27 <br /> head Electric Utility Lines Policy for the City of Roseville, as detailed in the <br /> RCA date July 9, 2012. Mr. Schwartz reviewed PWETC level discussion and <br /> their recommendations as detailed in the current draft presented for City Coun- <br /> cil review. <br /> Discussion included various customer classes and maximum dollar amounts <br /> capped by the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) for community projects and <br /> stacking per CRFS as long as they didn't exceed that cap; how the PUC might <br /> respond to potential neighborhood or individual requests outside the CRFS and <br /> municipal requests; and further research needed by staff to determine if assess- <br /> ments under Chapter 429 would be allowed under such a policy. <br /> City Attorney Gaughan advised that he would add that consideration related to <br /> Chapter 429 and assessments for further research by the City Attorney's Office. <br /> Further discussion included the significant costs, approximately$1 million to $2 <br /> million per mile depending on the particular project, for undergrounding. <br /> Councilmember Pust suggested that the DRAFT Policy be revised, under <br /> "Funding of Projects (Page 2)" to state that they will be "PRIMARILY FUND- <br /> ED"through utilizing the PUC's authorized CRFS. <br /> Councilmember Johnson spoke in support of the policy as a "nice start;" and <br /> noted what an amazing aesthetic difference that undergrounding provided along <br /> the Rice Street corridor between County Road B-2 and Highway 36. While un- <br /> derstanding that the cross streets were part of the discussion and mitigation ef- <br /> forts, Councilmember Johnson expressed his concern in how expensive that un- <br /> dergrounding was; however, he opined that it made for a very attractive com- <br /> munity. <br /> Under the "Funding of Projects" portion, Mayor Roe suggested including lan- <br /> guage addressing cost-sharing with neighboring jurisdictions for applicable <br /> roadways. <br /> 14.
