The easement allowed for the replacement of aging utilities, including new power and chilled water lines as part of the County's Central Utility Facility (CUF) upgrade project. Since 1968, the CUF has provided utility services to government buildings in the Civic Center, including City property. As part of the County's long term strategic development plan for the CUF's original utility systems, additional infrastructure improvement is recommended to replace aging systems with more energy efficient and environmentally responsible systems to accommodate the County's CUF full electrical and thermal capacity. New chilled water lines and a new fiber optic cable will pass through the City's parking structures and Plaza to serve City and other Civic Center buildings (Exhibit 1). 25G -1
