SAN FERNANDO ROAD UTILITY UNDERGROUND DISTRICT NO. 94-1 -
PHASE 1
Resolution No. 94-24
Community Development
On January 11, 1994, the initial Council meeting was held for District 94.1 with passage of the
Resolution of Intention. At that time, the date and location for the public meeting and hearing were
set for February 22 and March 8. In compliance with Government Code Section 54954.6, a notice
was sent out January 19, 1994, informing the property owners of the two meetings. Due to the
January 17 earthquake, the location of the meeting was relocated and was duly posted and
published by the City Clerk with the new location for all Council meetings.
Additionally, a letter was sent to all property owners in early January requesting their input on the
proposed District. Staff also met with the tenants along San Fernando prior to the February 22
public meeting. Of the 23 properties involved, only two property owners, Duane Dye for BB&D
Investments and Harry Bell responded both by letter and by oral presentation at the February 22
Council meeting.
Their major concerns are why the assessment to the property owner is based on their specific
meter location and not based on a percentage of the total project; what specific work must be done
to underground their electrical service; and what other options are available to the property owners
to complete this electrical conversion work and the potential economic hardship.
Since the February 22 Council meeting, three additional letters and one telephone call have been
received. The concerns voiced were similar to those above of Duane Dye and Harry Bell.
Due to this concern, a letter was sent to all property owners, setting up two public participation
meetings on Thursday, March 3. A meeting was also scheduled with property owner, Stephen
Bostonian, at his business in Canoga Park on Friday, March 8. In addition, staff met Wednesday,
March 2 at Duane Dye's business to discuss those concerns. In attendance were nine affected
property owners, representatives of Edison Company, two electricians and City staff.

RESOLUTION NO. 94-24
March 8, 1994 - Page 2
As a result of this public Input, two developments have occurred which drastically reduce property
assessments. First of all, Edison has committed to paying for on-site undergrounding of up to 100
feet onto private property, leaving only the cost from 6" above ground at meter location to the
meter. The cost to some property owners was further reduced by finding that there are several
locations with banks of multiple meters resulting In fewer service locations than previously thought.
The Engineer's Report has been revised to show the reduced work required and a corresponding
reduced assessment.
Mr. Dye also asked whether there is any cost for undergrounding cable TV or telephone and
whether or not redevelopment funds could be used to cover any remaining cost to property owners.
King Video Cable has informed us that they will pay all undergrounding costs. Pacific Bell Informed
us that the cost be for conduit only, which will be approximately $150 for each service location.
The property owners were informed that there are no redevelopment funds available at this time.
District No. 94-1 is administered under the 1911 Act of the California Streets and Highways Code
and more specifically under Chapter 29, Contractual Assessments, beginning with Section
No. 5898.10. This program states that the property must be developed in order to be assessed and
establishes a method whereby each property is handled individually and does not share in the cost
of conversion to adjacent properties where the work may be more extensive. Therefore, the
assessments are based on the actual work required to underground utilities to a specific building
and the number of electrical meters serving that address. It would not be fair or equitable to assess
properties for work done on other properties.
The type of work to be done on the properties is outlined in the Engineer's Report but essentially
consists of Installing conduit, wiring, replacement of the existing meter if required by the electrical
code, routing of all wiring on the building to facilitate an underground service and final termination
of overhead service and reconnection to underground service. The fewer meters at a site and their
accessibility for conversion are factors in the cost to underground the services.
Final assessments will be confirmed by the Council after the work is complete. The preliminary
assessments are based on a City -hired contractor doing the conversion work. Another option is
for the property owner to contract with an electrical contractor to perform the work. This option
does require that the property owner enter Into an agreement with the City for performing the work
with an understanding that If in the event that the property owner falls to complete the required
work in a specific time that the City can complete the work with their contractors and assess the
property for the work. The assessments for District No. 94-1 include construction costs only.
The funds to convert the overhead utilities will be advanced from the City of Santa Clarita
Community Development budget, and such conversion is in addition to the existing Los Angeles
County San Fernando Road widening project. There is no provision for a reserve fund. All
assessments resulting from this District will be due and payable by cashier's check within 30 days
from the date of recording of the notice of the property liens. If payment is not received by the City
treasurer within such 30 -day period, an Interest charge of 5% per annum, compounded monthly,
based on the unpaid balance, will accrue until such time as payment Is received. However, at the
time the payment is due, arrangements can be made with the City for paying the assessment in
Installments.
RESOLUTION NO. 94-24
March 8, 1994 - Page 3
Future steps In the district process will involve entering into contractual agreements with the
individual property owners for completion of the on-site work. At that time, the final cost to
underground each service will be determined, based on which party does the conversion work and
the actual construction costs Incurred. This final amount will then be finalized and placed on the
properties as a one-time assessment.

Should the property owner do the
required conversion, the actual assessments will be modified accordingly.

RE: PROTEST: Establishment of
"San .Fernando Road Underground
District #94-1"
This letter is in responseto the city's communication received recently concerning
the proposal of establishing the above captioned "District".
Please note the record that the B. B. & D. Investment partners - for whom I am the
authorized spokesman, are all opposed to the establishment of this district. The
parcel's involved with B. B. & D. Investment are as follows:
2931-002-390, 2831-002-040, 2855-016-035
Our grounds for objection are numerous and noted as follows:
1. Sometime ago when we were first approached by the authorities involved
with this plan, we were advised that the city and the Southern California
Edison Company would be covering the expenses and the land owners would NOT
be charged. —
Ata public meeting held 'last fall for the purpose of explaining the plan
and answering questions, one of the partners (as spokesman for B. B. & D.)
attended and was told specifically there would be no cost to the landowners as
far as the city was concerned.
The. "Public. Notice posted 9/29/93 states "Whereas, the City Council proposes
that the City has agreed to pay over fifty percent (50%) of all costs of the
Utility,Undergrounding, excluding costs of property owners connections to under-
ground electric or communications facilities."
It is obvious that there has been misrepresentation from the very beginning up until
this letter dated ,1/19/94 from your offices.
2.
We
will not accept
the
assessments as
outlined in your communication
dated
1/19/94.
3.
We
do not agree to
any
future taxation
on our properties to maintain
this
project
Funding of the expenses for. this project must come from redevelopment funds or some
other grant monies. To lay yet another cost upon the already excessively strained
budgets of small business is unconscionable.

This letter is response to the city's communication received recently
concerning the proposal of establishing the above captioned district.
Tip ,property is located at 24881SanFernando Road Newhall California
Parcel #2855-13-54
I protest, we were never told we would be paying for underground or over
head untilities. As of now we are being over taxed, and not getting enough
income from the property. We are retired people.
The earthquake of January 17,1994 has caused a lot of damage to the property
Part of the property was condemned and the rest of the property is in very
poor condition.
We were told when we were.approched that the city and southern California
Edison would be paying for all expenses, and,that property owners wouldn't
have to pay anything_
We have been misrepresented from the very beginning and we protest
Sincerely

Dear Persons;
We at Vic Williams Bouquet Canyon Stone Co. Inc. are very much
apposed to ANY assessment put on us for the underground utilities
along San Fernando Rd.
Our company was not even informed of this due to the cities lack
of information as to the ownership of our property. Our parcel #
is 2855-012-036 and should be under the name of Vic Williams NOT
a Terril Malam which it states on the city files.
We feel the city has done an unsatisfactory job in widening the
road along San Fernando in the fact that SOMEONE forgot the
bridge right next to our property;hence we are undergoing a real
burden since we have only one entrance to our property until the
city can figure out who goofed and any assessment fees should
come out of the city fund NOT OUR POCKETS!!!!
Sincerel
Vic Williams
Owner
Bouquet Canyon Stone Co. Inc.

As a landowner and independent business person whose property is involved with the
project known as "San Fernando Road Utility Underground District NO 94-1;' I am opposed
to the assessment of my property for the funds as indicated in your communications to
the landowners. It lays an undue financial burden on the property owners and can be
funded in some other fashion.
