body
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City owns approximately 1,090 acres associated with the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility. The majority of the property is leased for farmland associated with utilizing the treated wastewater. There is currently a series of power poles between two of the City’s fields towards the southeast portion of the City property (see Exhibit A).
Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) has approached the City with a desire to upgrade those poles in order to increase the reliability of their service in the area. The easement that PG&E currently has for those poles does not meet their current standards, so they have requested an increase to the easement width along with the pole upgrades. The proposed increase is from 8-foot wide (existing) to 40-foot wide (32-feet of which would be new). PG&E provided a Valuation Estimate (Exhibit C) to coincide with the additional easement width. Based on that document, PG&E proposed to compensate the City $19,500 for the additional easement width (Exhibit B).
Staff reviewed the Valuation Estimate and the potential impacts to the farmable land, and believes the proposed compensation to be fair with minimal impacts to farmable land.
