Riley, Assistant City Mana -� BY: Ky Spangler, Special Projec onsultant DATE: December 14, 2011 (CC Meeting of 1/4/12) SUBJECT: Consider Granting an Easement to Pacific Bell Telephone Company (dba AT&T California) for Existing Communication Facilities within a Portion of Lot C of APN 512-0-171-235 (612 Spring Road, Ruben Castro Human Services Center) BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION The City of Moorpark ("City") owns the property located at 612 Spring Road which includes APNs 512-0-171-235 and 512-0-171-245 ("Property"). The Property is the site of the Ruben Castro Human Services Center, currently under construction. During trenching for the footing of the north boundary wall, a buried vault and fiber optic conduit containing active facilities owned by Pacific Bell Telephone Company, dba AT&T California ("AT&T") were discovered. The existing AT&T vault and conduit are situated directly below the location: of the boundary wall and its footing. Research of Property records by both staff and the AT&T Right of Way Manager found that an easement for these facilities was not previously recorded. AT&T representatives have visited the site, and based on the type of facilities in the ground and the status of site construction, moving the vault and fiber optic lines off of the Property is infeasible without significant delay to the project. AT&T will, at their cost, trench over their facilities, install a second conduit for possible future maintenance needs, and raise the vault to finished grade. This will allow the wall to be constructed with no changes to its planned location, design or appearance. In order to allow these activities to commence and resume construction on the wall prior to the granting and recordation of the easement, AT&T agreed to move forward under a letter of permission. AT&T will need access to the Property to perform maintenance activities in the future. The easement language provides that AT&T shall bear all costs 44 Honorable City Council January 4, 2012 Page 2 associated with any potential reconstruction or repair of the Property necessitated by AT&T's future maintenance activities. In light of this, it is appropriate for the City to convey an easement across the northwesterly boundary of the Property as depicted on Attachment A of the Grant of Easement document for ingress and egress to construct, reconstruct and maintain the existing vault and fiber optic facilities in this location. FISCAL IMPACT There will be no fiscal impact as this is a grant deed of easement for no fee. AT&T will bear all costs associated with addressing the current site condition and shall be responsible for any future costs associated with maintenance of their existing facilities. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Authorize the City Manager to execute the Grant of Easement for the Property and have staff return the same to Pacific Bell Telephone Company, dba AT&T California, for recordation with the County of Ventura.

Project No. 8553981 Ms.Spangler, The intent of this letter is to expedite the path forward required for the construction project at the Ruben Castro site visited on 12/6/2011, The following was discussed at a meeting on site between your self,Jeff Hammond, Rick Klajic(AT&T Engineer), and Eugene Winfield (AT&T Manager Right of Way). AT&T has been requested to relocate an existing 3'X5'X4'splice box currently located on the northwesterly corner of the subject property located in the City of Moorpark. The facilities in question were installed between 2001-2003, After researching our records along with those of the County of Ventura's I can find no easement on record for the existing facilities. To expedite the process of moving the splice box and conduit required to complete construction of the wall, AT&T will move its facilities and the full cost of this relocation will be the responsibility of AT&T based on the execution of this letter of permission. The property site wall alignment and construction means and materials will be unaffected, and the existing conduit and fiber will remain in their present location. To address the need for potential future maintenance of the existing facilities,AT&T requests that the City of Moorpark grant to Pacific Bell Telephone Company, a Corporation, doing business as AT&T California, a non- exclusive underground easement for the existing conduit,splice box, and fiber.The cost for any impact to City facilities including the block wall resulting from potential future installations and AT&T facility maintenance shall be paid by AT&T. AT&T will prepare the easement document and bear the cost of creation of a legal description. and/or depiction of the location of the facilities to be covered by the easement along with costs related to the granting of said easement. It is understood that due to the Holidays the Moorpark City Council will not meet in time to approve the required easement. In order to move forward please sign and date this letter giving AT&T permission to complete the required work on your property pending the grant of the official easement. Sincerely, Eugene Winfield Steven Kueny AT&T Right of Way City Manager 100 N.Stoneman Avenue, Rm. 265 799 Moorpark Avenue Alhambra,CA 91801-3521 Moorpark, CA 93021 ;�< 49
