TOPIC: Easement to Southern California Edison
AGENDA TITLE
Grant an Easement to Southern California Edison to Allow Underground Power to Serve
Traffic Signal (Non -General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an Easement Deed granting Southern California
Edison the right to own, place, and maintain power conduits and conductors underground
to serve APN 016-035-14.
DISCUSSION
In 2019, the City acquired a parcel of land located at 402 East Warner in conjunction with
the Warner Avenue Improvements project from Main Street to Oak Street. Along the east
side of the parcel exists a 17-foot wide Maple Street Bike Trail and Edison power pole
and overhead power lines serving the residential lots fronting Maple Street and a traffic
signal nearby (Exhibit 1).
As part of the Warner Avenue project, Edison will need to modify the power pole adjacent
to 402 East Warner to underground overhead facilities along Warner Avenue and provide
service for proposed traffic signal at Warner and Maple intersection. Therefore, non-
exclusive easement is needed for Edison to construct, use, maintain, operate, alter, add
to, repair, replace, reconstruct, and inspect the underground electrical supply system in
order to continue distributing electrical energy to the residents.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
