Easement and Right of Entry for the County of Orange <br />August 2, 2016 <br />Page 2 <br />In order to install and maintain the utilities, the County will require easements within the City's <br />real property (Exhibit 2). In addition, an underground fiber optic line will be installed on Flower <br />Street and Santa Ana Boulevard right -of -way to serve the existing County buildings (Exhibit 3). <br />The proposed fiber optic line is situated outside the jurisdictional limits of the Joint Powers <br />Agreement (JPA) between the City of Santa Ana and the County Orange, and will be owned and <br />maintained by the County rather than a public utility. City staff has reviewed the easement and <br />right of entry locations, and supports the donation of this public utility easement and agreement <br />for a revocable encroachment permit. <br />The recommended action would result in approval of the Easement Deed and Agreement (Exhibit <br />4) which covers the terms for use of the easement and its legal description, and approval of the <br />Right of Entry and License Agreement (Exhibit 5) which covers the terms and legal description for <br />the area on Santa Ana Boulevard and Flower Street. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #5 — Community Health, Livability <br />and Engagement & Sustainability, Objective #2 (expand opportunities for conservation and <br />environmental sustainability), Strategy A (complete the City's Climate Action Plan with measures <br />to address water conservation, energy efficient buildings (City and community) and greenhouse <br />gas emissions.
