AGENDA REPORT ••
C Y TY OF MOORPARK
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Work'`J`
DATE: 3� % IF6
August 25-, 44 (Council Neeting }
SUBJECT: Authorization to Proceed with Acquisition of Certain
Property from the Southern California Edison Company
(SCR) Required for the Construction of the Bicycle /
Pedestrian / Equestrian / Emergency Access Bridge Across
the Arroyo Simi at Liberty Bell Road to Serve Arroyo
Vista Community Park
I. In September of 1992 the City Council approved an implementation
and Release Agreement with G. H. Palmer (PD -1010) which provided
for the City to take over efforts to complete the design and
construction of the Pedestrian / Equestrian / Bicycle Bridge.
The purpose of this project was and still is to provide better
access to Arroyo Vista Community Park from the area north of the
Arroyo.
2. In April of 1993 the City Council approved the selection of VCE
Civil Engineering & Surveying to prepare the design for this
project.
3. In July 1993 the City Council approved the conceptual design for
the project.
4. In September 1994 the City Council approved the final
preliminary design for the project and authorized staff to
proceed with efforts necessary to obtain certain easements
required for the construction of the project.
5. In July 1995 the project design was completed and ready for
presentation to the City Council for approval and authorization
to advertise for receipt of bids. However, the City had not yet
reached agreement with SCE regarding the subject property
acquisition.

6. During this period of time the City became aware of the fact
that the alignment for the Arroyo Simi channel widening project
proposed by the Ventura County Flood Control District (VCFCD)
would preclude the proposed development of Campesina Park,
located along the north side of the Arroyo just east of Liberty
Bell Road. Subsequent to several meetings with the VCFCD on the
matter, in August 1995 the City requested that the VCFCD develop
an alternate alignment for their project which would enable the
development of Campesina Park. Some of the possible alternative
alignments being considered would require the acquisition of
additional properties from SCE which could impact upon the
subject efforts by the City to acquire needed easements for the
pedestrian bridge. Further efforts by the City to acquire the
SCE property for the pedestrian bride were suspended until the
design for the channel widening could be determined.
7. on February 26, 1996, City and County officials met with the
residents of the Villa Campesina neighborhood to discuss the
revised channel widening project and its impact on the future
Campesina Park. The recommend revised design concept will now
allow for the development of Campesina Park. Those present at
the February 26th meeting supported the revised designs.
8. It should be noted that the final conceptual design for the
VCFCD channel widening project will require no Additional SCE
property on the south side of the Arroyo, other than the
relatively minor amount of additional property initially
anticipated to be required by the VCFCD.
ti �. • W --
City staff has been negotiating with representatives of SCE on
the terms of a proposed reciprocal exchange of access rights.
The City has offered to grant SCE easements at the east end and
at the west end of Arroyo Vista Community Park, which would
allow SCE maintenance and operations vehicles to cross park
property to gain access to SCE property located just north of
the park. SCE current has no means of access to this property
other than one or more dry weather crossings across the Arroyo.
It is likely that these rights would severed when the VCFCD
constructs their channel widening project.

It was the intent of staff to recommend the granting of the
above described access rights to SCE in exchange for easements
required for the construction of the pedestrian bridge. If
approved by both parties, this would have been a "no cost"
transaction for both parties.
To date, SCE has declined the City's offer. SCE has requested
that the easements to be granted to SCE by the City, include the
right to provide utilities to their property and the right to
open the Arroyo Community Park access road to all possible
future lessees of the SCE property for agricultural and possible
other uses permitted by the State Public Utilities Commission
(PUC) and the City's zoning regulations.
1. Project Location -- The location and general description
of the pedestrian bridge project is described in the attached
Exhibit W.
2. Property Description -- In order to proceed with the
pedestrian bridge project, it is necessary to acquire from
SCE the three easements described in the diagrams attached as
Exhibit 2. One of the easement is the granted to the City.
The other two are to be granted to the VCFCD. The total area
of all three easements is 33,809 sf.
3. Property Value -- Staff has asked SCE for their estimate
of the value of the required easements based upon their
experience of granting similar uses on other similar SCE
properties. Presuming that said "asking" price could be
supported by appropriate documentation and subsequent to
final negotiation of price and other terms, staff would
consider recommending that the City purchase the required
easements for an agreed upon amount determined in this way.
This would preclude the necessity of having the property
appraised. To date SCE has not provided the City with an
asking price. In the event an agreed upon price cannot be
determined, it will become necessary for the City to have the
property appraised.
4. Appraisal -- Staff has received proposals from a number of
appraisal companies. The cost of an appraisal is estimated
to range from $3,000 to $9,000 depending on the effort
required. The preparation of an appraisal will require
between six (6) and ten (10) weeks to complete.

5. City Offer -- Upon completion, acceptance and approval of
the appraisal by the City Council, the City would be prepared
to make an offer to SCE for the purchase of the subject
easements. If accepted, the transfer of the subject easements
could occur within a few weeks.
6. SCE Access Rights -- Although the City's purchase of the
required bridge access easements would not resolve SCE's lack
of adequate access to their property, the price determined
for the City's easements could be used as the basis for
determining the City's "asking price " for granting SCE access
rights across park property for their maintenance and
operations vehicles.
7. OIP -- In the event the City's offer is rejected, the City
could seek from a court of competent jurisdiction, an Order
of Immediate Possession (01P). Under this procedure, the
City would deposit with the court an amount equal to the
appraised value of the property. Possession of the property
could be granted to the City within a relatively short period
of time with the actual purchase price to be determined at a
trial in which, at SCE's option, either the court or a jury
would make the determination based on evidence which could
include a second appraisal report prepared by SCE.
C. Fiscal Impact
The total cost of property acquisition has not been determined.
All such costs would be charged to the appropriations and budget
already established for this project which is summarized as
follows:
• Account No. 026 -142- 903 -0114: $200,000
• Account No. 027 - 142- 903 -0114: $300,000
$500,000
Staff recommends that City Council authorize staff to proceed with
the subject property acquisition efforts.
