Over the past nine months, RCENO has collaborated with neighboring
organizations and city officials to develop a thoughtful approach to
under grounding utilities which have several benefits – • Enhanced Safety:
Reduces risks from downed lines during storms. • Improved Reliability: Minimizes
outages as underground lines withstand environmental factors. • Aesthetic
Improvement: Enhances community appearance, attracting residents and visitors.
Increased Property Values: Higher property values lead to increased city tax
revenue. An ordinance for under grounding will be presented to the City Council in
October 2024 which will clear a path to finance these efforts through a municipal
bond that is assessed directly to homeowners via their property taxes. We are
seeking a $60,000 grant from Measure J to hire a consultant for project scoping for
our neighborhood, which will be reimbursed through the bond. Please support this
initiative for a safer, more attractive Palm Springs.
