It was moved by Council Member Fimbres, duly seconded, and CARRIED by a voice vote of 6 to 0 (Vice Mayor Lee absent/excused), to authorize and direct the City Manager, City Attorney and staff to proceed as discussed in Executive Session; and specifically as follows: 1. The City will intervene as a party in the CEC proceedings; 2. The City’s position is that TEP’s proposed Route 5A must be rejected as either a preferred route or an alternate route under the statutory criteria that the Committee and the ACC are bound to apply to the application. Reasons for the rejection of Route 5A include, and are not limited to, the following: a. The route’s incompatibility with existing plans of the City, including voter-approved projects under Propositions 101, 407 and 409, and the City’s General Plan; b. The route’s interference with and negative impact to previously funded neighborhood improvement projects such as the South Campbell median improvements that benefit Las Vistas, Western Hills, Pueblo Gardens and South Park neighborhoods, AS WELL AS PROJECTS IN OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS AND NEIGHBORHOODS IN OTHER WARDS ; and c. The rejection of Route 5A two years ago following review by the Community Working Groups through TEP’s own procedures. 3. With respect to route 1B; the City’s position is that this route – or any proposed preferred or alternate route – cannot be considered for approval unless TEP complies with all City requirements, including but not limited to the undergrounding requirements as described in the Mayor and Council Communication and as further discussed in executive session; and 4. That to the extent TEP proposes to seek relief from any City requirements in connection with Route 1B or any other Route, the City Manager and City Attorney are directed to address those issues as discussed in executive session.
