ITEM REMOVED FROM CONSENT CALENDAR FOR DISCUSSION
M17. Consideration of approval of the Purchase and Sale Agreement between the City of Rancho
Cucamonga and Southern California Edison (SCE) for the acquisition of 15,299 SCE owned street
lights at a price not to exceed $9,660,284 and authorizing the City Manager to sign the agreement
Council Member Kennedy pulled Item M17. for discussion noting the prudent and proactive fiscal impact on the
community through containment of utility costs for the future
In response to Council Member Kennedy, Jason Welday, Engineering Services Director/City Engineer explained
the City estimates to spend $9.6 million purchasing over 15,000 street lights from Southern California Edison
(SCE). City Engineer Welday said benefits will be yielded through how the City pays SCE. Currently, the City pays
SCE who owns the street lights, at a rate for energy and for the maintenance and operation of the street lights,
which is approximately $2 3 million annually paid out of various street light districts funds throughout the City
Under the purchase and sale agreement, cost convert to an LS -2 rate, at about $1 3 million annually, yielding $1
million dollars annual savings.
City Engineer Welday said the City will be responsible for maintaining, repairing and replacing the street lights.
Additionally, the City will realize a net savings of approximately $480,000 annually after paying for the financing
to purchase the street lights, and will be responsible for street light operations and maintenance Cost savings, in
general, are a benefit, and the savings will help with street light maintenance districts (SLDs=SLMDs) funding,
which has been supplemented from the General Fund, accordingly, this back -fill will not need to be supplemented
as much from the General Fund.
John Gillison, City Manager, clarified that the wood power poles will remain SCE property and are not included in
the purchase; the marbelite (simulated concrete style) street light poles are being purchased by the City. He noted
only a small number of cities in Southern California took advantage of an opportunity to purchase the street lights.
City Manager Gillison pointed out that supplemental funding from the General Fund pulled resources from law
enforcement, community and senior services, and he noted in order to supplement costs, the concept to increase
rates was explored The alternative purchase agreement allows the City to reduce continued levels of
supplemental funding from the General Fund for a number of years, as well as opens up other future opportunities,
including converting the street lights to LED (light -emitting diodes) for a savings bonus through energy and
maintenance costs.
In response to Mayor Michael, City Manager Gillison stated that the $9.6 million to purchase the street lights will
come from Reserves and through costs savings. He noted that the current City Council and City Councils since
the City's inception set-aside Reserve funding for infrastructure, key facilities, and other public improvements,
subsequent maintenance and to provide for future replacement of the same. City Manager Gillison pointed out
Council's specific direction the funds will be paid back for the reason that this is only a loan from Reserves,
purchase of street lights was not an option nor foreseen as a use of Reserve funding years back.
MOTION: Moved by Council Member Kennedy, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Spagnolo, to approve Item M17.
Motion carried unanimously, 5-0.

John Gillison, City Manager, introduced Linda Ceballos, Environmental Programs Manager and Fred Lynn, Utility
Division Manager, who gave the staff report and PowerPoint (copy on file) presentation on Item 01. Ms. Ceballos
noted the agreement is not an amendment but a brand new agreement and stated that under the prior
amendments Burrtec has continued to provide superior services. She discussed services, the 5% diversion cap
on rate increases and noted the ability to enforce damages and penalties under the new agreement. Ms. Ceballos
detailed construction and demolition hauler diversion guaranteed to Burrtec.
To Mayor Pro Tem Spagnolo's question, Environmental Programs Manager Ceballos responded that the City did
not have a liquidated damages section of performance standards in the agreement, and the City had no ability to
enforce damages and penalties, and could only ask to correct from offending haulers.
Fred Lynn, Utility Division Manager, added that the new agreement includes all of the new State environmental
requirements.
Councilmember Kennedy pointed out Burrtec as a community partner, supports free event services, discounts to
seniors, and lowered fees for other events, in addition to other services they provide t the community

standards along with liquidated damages and penalties, and addressed Mayor Michael's questions about Burrtec
taking over construction and demolition service, and noted other haulers come in to the City under no performance
standards which the Municipal Code currently does not address The new agreement does provide revenue for
Burrtec and helps hold lower rates. Ms. Ceballos said educational materials will be sent out to remind the public
that Burrtec is the franchised hauler
Responding to Mayor Michael's question, Ms Ceballos said the current frequency of street sweeping in some
areas is two (2) times per month but differs in some areas: She noted street sweeping is a component of the new
performance standards.
