UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
6. RE FORMATION OF UNDERGROUND PUBLIC UTILITIES DISTRICT: - AREA
LYING ON EITHER SIDE OF TEMPLE CITY BLVD. BETWEEN GARIBALDI &
LEMON AVE.
City Manager Koski advised that at the last Council meeting on
November 19th a Public Hearing was held concerning the formation
of an Underground Public Utility District in the above area.
The Public Hearing was conducted and it was closed, and it now
is before the City Council to determine whether the Underground
Utility District should be established.
Councilman Tyrell moved to re -open the Public Hearing for anyone
who wished to be heard, Councilman Merritt seconded, and the
motion carried unanimously.
Robert Miller, 6154 N. Temple City Blvd., stated he was opposed
to the District and presented a protest with 12 signatures.
Christian Leder, 6161 Temple City Blvd., stated he was in favor
of the underground and asked for information re connections to
the meter.
No one else came forward to speak. Councilman Harker moved to
close the Public Hearing, Councilman Merritt seconded, and the
motion carried unanimously.
Considerable discussion followed regarding connections and pay-
ments by the property owners. It was determined that the cost
of an assessment district would be approximately 35% additional,
and as no such small district had been formed it was very
questionable if a bond issue of about $20,000. would be saleable.
It also was brought out there were some sixty properties involved
and only a small percentage were opposed. The City Manager also
advised that in going to assessment it would not be on. the .tax
':
bill until November, 1970, which would give considerable time
before any payments were due. Also it was agreed that possibly
the City could be the agent for those property owners who so
desired to contract for the connection services. However those
who so desired could contract individually or do the work them-
selves.
Councilman Harker on the basis of the over -all benefit moved
to approve the formation of the District„ Councilman Tyrell se-
conded and the motion carried unanimouslyeby the following roll
