Statement of Issue:

The License Fee will begin upon the execution of this Agreement, with subsequent annual payments as per the schedule of rents below. Payments will be budgeted from 10085304.64620 Traffic Signal Maintenance Account.

end
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the agreement and advise staff on steps to consult with SCE. This may result in the existing traffic lights being removed from their current locations on Center Avenue.
Analysis:
In 1993, the City installed traffic signals at the intersection of Center Avenue and One Park Plaza. A portion of these traffic signals are located on Southern California Edison (SCE) owned property. The parcels are identified as APN: 142-073-15 and APN: 142-073-16.
Over the years, the City has engaged in License Agreements with SCE to allow the traffic light facilities to occupy the property. The terms of these agreements vary, but have typically lasted for five years each. With regards to License Fees, the City paid $250.00 per year for the same terms and conditions in the previous agreement. This proposed agreement will allow for another five-year extension of the ongoing License Agreement.
The existing License Agreement has expired, and City Council approval is required for a new five-year agreement. SCE has prepared a new License agreement, which has been approved by the City Attorney as well as the Public Works Department.
Environmental Status:
This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
