INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

From:Kingsley Okereke
Dept.:City Manager 

Dept.: Finance 
Subject:Grant of Easement to Southern California Gas Company over real property designated by Assessor Parcel Number APN 090-121-32. (Action Item)Date:4/25/2017

OBJECTIVE

To request City Council approval of a utility easement to Southern California Gas Company over real property located in the Village Green Park off Main Street (formerly Euclid Avenue) identified as APN 090-121-32. 

BACKGROUND

Southern California Gas Company is requesting an easement over a portion of real property located in the Village Green Park, along Main Street.  The existing facilities were installed under permit; however, the gas company's surveyor determined that one of the vaults was installed within City property outside the right-of-way. The gas company offered no compensation since fees associated with the permit have been paid. 

DISCUSSION

The purpose of the easement is to cover the gas company's rights for existing facilities within City property outside the right-of-way. Furthermore, the grant of easement is subject to the City's right to have the gas company relocate the facilities to a different location at their cost should a public project require it.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

There is no cost to the City's General Fund by granting of the easement. 
RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council: 

 

  • Approve the conveyance of the easement to Southern California Gas Company; and

 

  • Authorize the City Clerk to certify the easement on behalf of the City.
