RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the 2016 status report from the Public Works Director on street light maintenance by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) in coordination with the Cities and the County.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% County Service Area L-100 funds.

BACKGROUND:

Each year, the TWIC reviews and monitors the implementation of the Letter of Understanding with PG&E for the maintenance of PG&E streetlights in Contra Costa County. The Letter of Understanding (LOU), dated February 2008, from PG&E to the County, states the commitment of PG&E for open communication and responsive service levels and actions in resolving issues related to street light performance. Communication channels have continued to remain open by conducting regular discussions at street light coordination meetings with the County, its constituent Cities and Towns and regularly reporting to TWIC.  
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
      
    On November 10, 2016, Public Works staff submitted and discussed with the TWIC committee the attached annual status report on PG&E Coordination with Cities and County for Street Light Maintenance (Attachment A). The Committee requested that this report be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors.  
      
    In 2015 there was a change in the frequency of the meetings from monthly to quarterly at the request of PG&E due to low participation of Cities’ staff. There were meetings in January, March and April 2015, but no meetings since that
      
    time. The County distributed a survey to the 19 Cities in the County and 15 Cities responded with the desire to continue the Street Light Coordination meetings (Attachment B).  
      
    The County and PG&E completed an LED Street Light Conversion Project, countywide, in the summer of 2016, an effort that started in the spring of 2015.  
    Recommendations approved by TWIC include the following:
    1. Resume the Street Light Coordination meetings.
    2. Continue the process to review the LOU and reflect the challenges of 2017 and beyond.
    3. Provide update to TWIC toward the end of 2017.

    CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

    The Board of Supervisors would not accept the report as recommended by the Transportation, Water and Infrastructure Committee in November 2016.
