Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute a Purchase and Sale <br />Agreement authorizing the acquisition of approximately 7,800 streetlights by the City of Santa <br />Ana from Southern California Edison, subject to non - substantive changes approved by the <br />City Manager and City Attorney. <br />2. Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute a Light Pole License <br />Agreement for wireless attachment between the City of Santa Ana and Southern California <br />Edison, subject to non - substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />On February 21, 2017 City Council approved a Resolution (Exhibit 3) to proceed with the <br />Purchase and Sale (Exhibit 1) and Light Pole License (Exhibit 2) agreements to purchase <br />approximately 7800 Southern California Edison (SCE) owned streetlights in Santa Ana. The <br />Resolution establishes the City's commitment to purchase SCE streetlights, pending a Council <br />approved financing plan, and authorizes SCE to forward the agreements to California Public <br />Utilities Commission for approval. <br />Subsequently, City Staff concluded that the Resolution did finalize the terms and conditions of the <br />agreements and concluded that executing the agreements would be mutually beneficial for the <br />City and SCE to lock in the terms and conditions of the agreement. Since the financial plan is still <br />pending, the agreement was amended to afford Council the option to cancel this agreement if the <br />financial model and options are not amenable to the City. The City would not be fully committed <br />to the purchase until Council approves the financing package, and there is no penalty to withdraw <br />from this agreement. <br />25G -1 <br />
