PUD NO. 1 �F FRANKLIN COUNTY RESOLUTION NO. �6�
A JOINT RESOLUTION of the City of Pasco and the Public Utility
District No. 1 of Franklin county for the conversion of overhead distribution
lines to underground facilities together with underground service
connections.
WHEREAS, the Franklin County PUD and the Cify of Pasco agreed by
mutual Resolution in 1973 to cooperatively plan the conversion of overhead
electrical facilities to underground throughout the City; and
WHEREAS, said Resolution established an annual minimum
commitment of $50,000.00 by the PUD to the implementation of the
conversion program and imposed additional accounting duties on the PUD to
verify fulfillment of its obligations thereunder; and
WHEREAS, over fhe course of the past twenty years, the PUD has
fulfilled its commitment to implement the conversion program, and the City
and the PUD have developed a practical and professional working
relationship regarding the conversion program; and
WHEREAS, the City and the PUD desire to continue their collaborative
effort to convert overhead electrical facilities to underground, but without the
additional accounting duties previously assumed by the PUD and without the
procedural constraints imposed by the prior Resolution; now, therefore,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON
AND THE COMMISSIONERS OF THE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT N0. 1 OF
FRANKLIN COUNTY,DO RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Program. The Public Utility District, in cooperation with the City of
Pasco, will convert overhead distribution circuits to underground facilities
along arterial streets, in commercial areas and in public and semi-public
locations such as schools, hospitals and parks. The City of Pasco and the Public
Utility District will determine, after reviewing the City's Annual Street
Budget and Six Year Street Program, which overhead circuits should be
converted from overhead to underground. The City of Pasco will give
consideration to scheduling street projects so that heavy Public Utility District
involvement and expense will not come in consecutive years. Final
determination of whether or not circuits will be converted from overhead to
underground will be made by the Public Utility District.

2. New Utility Distribution System Construction. A general policy of
the Pu�lic Utility District shall be that all new residential single phase
distribution facilities within the Cify limits will be constructed underground
(transformers excluded) �vhere normal excavating conditions exist.
3. Service Connections.
(A) It will be the City's responsibility to require individual
property owners to convert their facilities to receive underground service and
install the underground service to the property line or the District's delivery
point whenever a conversion program is implemented. This is to expedite
the removal of overhead lines when underground distribution service is
available so the Public Utility District will not be required to maintain two
distribution systems.
(B) The Public Utility district will provide the City with a listing
of property owner's service connections which need to be revised to receive
underground service. The City agrees to make investigations on these
services and attempt to get property owner cooperation and report the reason
for the property owner's delay.
4. Effective Date. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect after
its passage as required by law, and repeals City of Pasco Resolution No. 930,
and Public Utility District No. 1 of Franklin County's Resolution No. 325.
Passed by the City Council of the City of Pasco, at a regular meeting
this �� day of 1995.
Passed by the Public Utility District No. 1 of Franklin County, at a
