8. PUBLIC HEARING
A. Proposed Underground Utilities District Project — Walnut Grove Avenue — Rule 20A
Rule 20A was developed to carry out a California Public Utility Commission (PUC) decision
to encourage local governments to underground overhead electric facilities. The program
requires public utility companies to set aside funds on a regular basis for undergrounding of
existing overhead facilities. To qualify a project for Rule 20A funding, a city is required to
determine that undergrounding of the subject overhead facilities will be in the general
public's interest. The City of Rosemead has an approximate current cumulative balance of
$1.5 million on deposit with Southern California Edison (SCE), with a continuing annual
allowance of $170,459.
