WORK STUDY SESSION <br /> <br />RECESS - 7:27 p.m.-7:32 p.m. <br /> <br />The following presented slide presentations that basically supported the City's plan to <br />improve and better coordinate street repairs, but suggested the Council adopt a model <br />ordinance prepared by the utility companies rather than the one recommended by staff <br />(based on a League of California Cities model); <br /> <br />Tony Aguilar, Sourthern California Edison <br />Richard Porras, Pacific Bell <br />Judy Woolen, The Gas Company <br /> <br />Each spokesperson responded to Councilmembers' specific questions particularly <br />discussing warranty clauses of their respective franchise agreements that require <br />restoration of a street to as good a condition as existed before a repair was <br />undertaken. <br /> <br />City Attorney Joe Fletcher clarified that a franchise fee differs from the proposed trench <br />cut fee, in that the former is to reimburse the City for use of public land and the latter is <br />to recoup the cost of damages. <br /> <br />Winston Covington representing Communication Linkage Forum expressed the <br />support of the Forum board for the trench cut fee and encouraged the Council to adopt <br />the ordinance proposed by the Public Works Agency. <br /> <br />Mayor Pulido opined the ordinance needed further refinement. He thanked all <br />participants at the Study Session for their time and efforts. <br /> <br />CLOSED SESSION - 8:55 p.m.-9:58 p.m. <br /> <br /> CLOSED SESSION CALENDAR <br /> <br />95.A.
