CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For Council Meeting of October 4, 1994 TO: Honorable Mayor, City Council, and City Manager FROM: Thomas K. Clarke, Electric Utility Director`' DATE: 09/26/94 SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT WITH CALMAT CEMENT COMPANY FOR SWAPPING AND ACQUISITION OF EASEMENTS AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY FOR TRANSMISSION, DISTRIBUTION LINES, AND STORM DRAIN PROJECTS BACKGROUND As City Council is aware, the Electric Department has started planning and engineering work for a new substation, and transmission and distribution lines, to provide electric service to the county hospital, RIX Project, and other loads in the western part of the city. On May 2, 1994, Council authorized staff, along with its consultant, to negotiate with different property owners for acquisition of necessary easements and rights-of-way for proposed transmission and distribution lines. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Due to uncertainty regarding the realignment of Agua Mansa Road between Rancho Avenue and the Rialto Channel, and crowded SCE electric lines along Agua Mansa Road with prescriptive rights-of-way, the Electric Department selected a route for the proposed transmission and distribution lines through CalMat Properties, Inc., (CalMat). The transmission line route will follow the north portion of the CalMat property along the flood control channel, then turn northerly at the recycling center where it will cross Agua Mansa Road and then it will terminate at our proposed substation at the Pepper Street extension. Part of this route will be utilized for a proposed storm drain project and extension of Pepper Street between Agua Mansa Road and Slover Avenue. A new 55-f6ot right-of-way was also proposed on the north side of Agua Mansa Road from its present center line for the proposed distribution line for the RIX Project and future realignment of Agua Mansa Road.
