The Movie Colony East Neighborhood Association board supports Item 3B on tonight's
agenda. The subject of undergrounding utilities has been on our agendas for quite some time.
Many residents have voiced support of furthering the discussion of the undergrounding of
utilities but there has been no specific policy or guidelines in place.
We welcome the amendment of Municipal Code Article V of Chapter 8.04 of Title 8, codifying
a procedure for the formation of new underground utility districts. This action will also include
a resolution of the City Council to adopt “Underground Utility District Formation Guidelines for
Rule 20B and Rule 20C Projects”, a policy and procedural document guiding residents in
undergrounding utilities in their neighborhoods.
Thank you.

I'd like to submit my comments on undergrounding our utilities. I'm in favor of undergrounding our utilites and using
Measure J monies to do it. In 2006, I suffered a fire caused by a semitruck that pulled down the power lines in front
of my house. My young children and I couldn't live there for almost a year. When I bought the house a few years
earlier, I was told that the utilities would be put underground since there were to be new homes built right behind
us and that builder promised to underground the utilities in the surrounding area, however, they asked the City
Council to let them out of that promise. I attended that City Council meeting and it seemed like only Ginny Foat and
Steve Pougnet had even driven by the area and they voted not to let them out of their promise. One City Council
even high-fived the builder once the vote to let them out of their promise to underground was passed!
Thank you,
City of Palm Springs
