Section 1: Project Description
The project consisted of conducting a feasibility study for the possible
undergrounding of existing overhead distribution utility lines within the City of La
Quinta. The existing overhead utilities involved include: Imperial Irrigation District —
Electric, Verizon — Telephone, and Time Warner — Cable Television. Planning level
cost estimates were prepared for six study areas within the City. The study areas
evaluated include:
• Area 1— The Cove
® Area 2 - Downtown Commercial Area
e Area 3 - Downtown Residential Area
• Area 4 — Sagebrush
• Area 5 — Highland Palms
• Area 6 — Westward Ho
A map of the Study Areas is included at the end of this section.
Field reviews were performed on each Study Area. Smaller sample areas were then
selected within each larger Study Area for additional detailed field review and
preparation of the cost estimates. The smaller sample areas were selected for their
field conditions that made them representative of the larger respective Study Areas.
The sample area cost estimates were then used as the basis of costs for the larger
corresponding Study Areas.
Upon completion of the field work, written descriptions and cost estimates were
prepared for each unique Study Area. A summary spread sheet with all of the Study
Areas was prepared which includes an estimate of each utility's costs, contractor
charges for trench and substructure installation, engineering and administrative
costs, and potential project financing costs.
The estimates were further broken down in to three categories: Backbone, Public
Right of Way, and Private Property. A more detailed explanation of these terms can
be found within this report at the end of Section 4.

Section 4: Study Area Detailed Cost Estimates and Reviews
Study Area 1 - The Cove Area: is bordered by Avenida Montezuma to the west,
Avenida Bermudas to the east, Calle Tampico to the north, and Calle Tecate to the
south. The majority of the existing electrical, telephone, and cable television
infrastructure within Study Area 1 are overhead facilities. The utility's main
overhead feeder systems run east and west. The utility's local distribution systems
primarily run north and south along the rear property lines of the homes.
The Public Right of Way and Private Property cost estimates were based on a sample
study area of 22 homes. The sample study area is Avenida Carranza between Calle
Temecula and Calle Madrid.
• The homes in this area are served by a combination of overhead and
underground services.
® The type of home and front and rear yard landscaping varies, but the block is
typical for The Cove.
• No vacant lots on this block.
• Gas has not been extended this far so a cost is shown, as an optional item,
for extending the gas.

Study Area 2 - Downtown Commercial Area: is bordered by Avenida Bermudas to
the west, Calle Guatemala to the east, Avenida La Fonda to the north and Calle
Amigo to the south. The majority of the electrical, telephone, and cable TV facilities
in Study Area 2 are overhead facilities. The utility's main feeder systems primarily
run overhead north and south. The utility's local distribution systems primarily run
east and west along the alleyways and/or rear property lines of the businesses and
homes.
The Public Right of Way and Private Property cost estimates were based on a sample
study area of 8 businesses. The sample study area is the alley between Avenida La
Fonda and Calle Estado from Avenida Bermudas to Desert Club Dr.
® The businesses in this area are served by overhead and underground
services.
• Electric service equipment on the buildings varies significantly.

Study Area 3 - Down Town Residential Area: the western portion of Area 3 is
bordered by Calle Guatemala to the west, Washington Street to the east, Avenida La
Fonda to the north and Avenida Nuestra to the south. The eastern portion of Area 3
is bordered by Washington Street to the west, Calle Rondo to the east, Avenida
Ultimo to the north, and Avenia Nuestra to the south.
The majority of the electrical, telephone, and cable TV facilities in Area 3 are
overhead facilities. The utility's main overhead feeder systems run east and west.
The utility's local distribution systems primarily run north and south along the rear
property lines of the homes.
The public Right of Way and Private Property cost estimates were based on a sample
study area of 16 homes, 2 lots, and a church. The sample study area is Calle Quito
between Avenida Tujunga and Calle Tampico.
• The homes in this area are served by overhead and underground services.
■ The type of home and front and rear yard landscaping varies.
• The residential lot frontage is greater than the Cove.
m The area is not as dense as the Cove. There are vacant lots in the area
causing the cost per lot to increase.
• Along Calle Rando there appear to be idle de -energized electric facilities at
Ultimo and Rando.

Section 5: Review of Rules, Regulations, and Franchise Agreements
Imperial Irrigation District (IID) - electric, Verizon- telephone, and Time Warner -
cable television each have different Rules, Regulations, and Franchise Agreements
which dictate how each respective utility participates in undergrounding project.
This section of the study will address the specifics of each utility's requirements.
Imperial Irrigation District's participate in City initiated undergrounding projects is
done in accordance with IID's Regulation 20A. A copy of IID's Regulation 20 is
included in this report at the end of this section. Regulation 20A general provisions
are:
• The city must submit the requested project to IID for consideration and
consultation.
• The city must hold public hearings and adopt an ordinance establish an
undergrounding district.
• The undergrounding area should be an area extensively used by the public
with a heavy volume of pedestrian or vehicle traffic.
• The undergrounding district must be a minimum of one block or 600 feet in
length.
• IID's financial participation is based upon it annual operating budgets and
pre -determined allocations for underground projects. In the event there is
no available budget for an undergrounding project the city should be able to
at least qualify for a credit equal to an equivalent overhead system in
accordance with Section B.
Verizon's participate in City initiated undergrounding projects are done in
accordance with Verizon's General Exchange Tariff Section 2 is included in this
report at the end of this section. Section 2 general provisions are:
• The city must submit the requested project to Verizon for consideration and
consultation.
• The city must hold public hearings and adopt an ordinance establish an
undergrounding district.
• The undergrounding area should be an area extensively used by the public
with a heavy volume of pedestrian or vehicle traffic.
• Verizon will underground its facilities at the time and to the extent that the
overhead electric distribution facilities are replace.
• Verizon at its expense, will replace the existing overhead facilities with
underground along public streets, roads, or on private land with easements.
Time Warner's participate in City initiated undergrounding projects should be in
accordance with it's Franchise Agreement with the City. Typically the cable
television provider will participate financially in a similar manor as the incumbent
phone company. In reviewing Time Warner's current Franchise Agreement with the
City of La Quinta, no provisions for undergrounding were found. It is very likely that
Time Warner will cooperate with the City and also underground it facilities in
conjunction with the other utilities.
Recommendations:
• Begin meeting with the utilities as early once it is determined if the City will
proceed with a project area.
• IID budget more than a year in advance on major infrastructure projects. It
will be important to work closely with IID very early in the planning process
and in order to negotiate a satisfactory participation level with IID.
• IID has hinted that it will someday be discontinuing its Regulation 20A
financial participation. Shared IID funding may not be available at some time
in the future.
• Confirm with Time Warner they will participate financially in a manor
equivalent to Verizon.
• The City will need to solicit community input, hold public
workshops/hearings, and pass ordinances establishing the undergrounding
districts in each area.

hearings on the subject, that such undergrounding is in the general public
interest for one or more of the following reasons:
Such undergrounding will avoid or eliminate an unusually heavy
concentration of overhead distribution facilities;
Said street or road or right-of-way is extensively used by the general public
and carries a heavy volume of pedestrian or vehicular traffic;
b. Adopted an ordinance creating an underground district in the area in which
both the existing and new facilities are and will be located requiring, among
other things (i) that all existing overhead communication and electric
distribution facilities in such district shall be removed, and (ii) that each
property owner served from such electric overhead distribution facilities
shall provide, in accordance with the District's regulations for underground
service, all electrical facility changes on his premises necessary to receive
service from the underground facilities of the District as soon as it is
available, and (iii) authorizing the District to discontinue its overhead
service.
2. The District's total annual budgeted amount for undergrounding within any city or
the unincorporated area of any county shall be allocated in the same ratio that the
number of customers in such city or unincorporated area bears to the total system
customers. The amounts so allocated may be exceeded where the District establishes
that additional participation on a project is warranted. Such allocated amounts may
be carried over for a reasonable and necessary period of time in communities with
active undergrounding programs. In order to qualify as a community with an active
undergrounding program the governing body must have adopted an ordinance or
ordinances creating underground district and/or districts as set forth in Section A.1.
of this regulation. Where there is a carry-over, the District has the right to set, as
determined by its capability, reasonable limits on the rate of performance of the
work to be financed by the funds carried over. Where amounts are not expended or

OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA TO TER TRANSFER OF THE
FRANCHISE AGREEMENT HELD BY
MfEDIA ONE ENTERPRISES, INC.
This Agreement (the "Transfer Agreement") is entered into
this{`4"day of July, 1999, between and among the City of La
Quinta, California (the "City"), and Media One Enterprises, Inc.,
(the "Transferor"), Summit Cable Services of Georgia, Inc., (the
"Transferee"), and TWI Cable Inc.(the "Guarantor").
WHEREAS, City Council entered into a Franchise Agreement
(the "Franchise") with a predecessor -in -interest of the
Transferor pursuant to the provisions of the La Quinta Municipal
Code (the "Ordinance") to operate a cable television system
within the City (the "System"); and
WHEREAS, the Transferor has filed a written application to
the City, (the "Application") wherein it has requested the
consent of the City to the assignment of the Franchise to the
Transferor (the "Transfer"); and
WHEREAS, it is the intent of the City to approve the
transaction whereby ownership and control of the Franchise and
the cable system (the "System") shall be held by the Transferee
and guaranteed by the Guarantor; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City has reviewed the
Transfer as well as all relevant documents, Staff Reports and
recommendations; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Ordinance, the Transfer is subject
to written consent of the City Council; and
WHEREAS, based upon the evidence presented to the City
124/015610-0004/3273421.3 wcdat.>ctiro.>
Council, it has determined that it would be in the public
interest to conditionally approve the Transfer.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed by and between the parties as
follows:
1. The City Council of the City hereby gives its consent
and approval to the Transfer as described herein.
2. The granting of this consent to the Transfer does not
render or waive the right of the City to approve any subsequent
change in the ownership of the Franchise or the ownership or
legal or operating control of the Transferee where required by
the Ordinance and there shall be no further material change,
amendment, or modification of the ownership or equity composition
of the Transferee which requires advance consent of the City
pursuant to the Ordinance without further written consent of the
City Council.
3. By executing this Transfer Agreement, the Transferee
agrees and acknowledges that (1) this Transfer Agreement and the
approving resolution is not a new franchise agreement, the
granting of a franchise, or the renewal of the existing
franchise, but rather is exclusively an agreement to transfer
control of the franchise and said Transfer Agreement neither
affects nor prejudices in any way the City's or Transferee's
rights under the Franchise; (2) under Section 625 of the Cable
Act, the term "commercially impracticable" means, with respect to
a cable operator, that it is commercially impracticable for the
operator to comply with such requirement as a result of a change
in conditions which is beyond the control of the operator and the
nonoccurrence of which was a basic assumption on which the
requirement was based. Transferee agrees that in judging whether
particular obligations are commercially impracticable, the
parties will not consider the economic burden of debt service and
124/015610-0004/3273421.3 a<dat..<t m.,
-2-
equity requirements incurred directly or indirectly to fund the
Transfer to the extent such debt service and equity exceeds the
debt service and equity requirements of the Transferor as they
existed prior to the Transfer.

hereby accepts all the terms and conditions of the Franchise, the
Ordinance, that "Agreement relating to the Consent of the City of
La Quinta, California to the Transfer of Control of the Franchise

any lawful orders or directives of any administrative agency
relating to the Franchise or the System including, but not
limited to, the Federal Communications Commission (the
:-"Commission") and.this Transfer Agreement (collectively, the

that it has examined the requirements of the Franchise Documents
as well as the applicable federal, state, or local laws or
regulations, and agrees to abide by all the terms and conditions
thereof.

Franchise Documents specified herein to be legally sufficient,
enforceable, valid, and binding and accept the same without
condition or reservation. Transferee shall assume all rate
refund obligations and possessory interest tax refund liability,
if any, both actual and contingent, of the Transferor. The

7. In regard to the Payment made to the City pursuant to
this Transfer Agreement, the Transferor, Transferee, Guarantor,
or any affiliate party will not pass through, externalize, or
otherwise attempt to add the costs of the Payment pursuant to

the City receives any such notice of a loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense, the City shall promptly notify Transferor
and Transferee which shall, at the sole discretion of the City
assume sole and direct responsibility for defending against any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense.
10. This consent is not an affirmation that Transferor is
currently in compliance with the Franchise Agreement. Any
consent given by the City in this Transfer Agreement and any
resolution approving this Transfer Agreement is not a finding
that, after the Transfer, Transferor or Transferee will be
financially, technically or legally qualified, and no inference
will be drawn, positively or negatively, as a result of the
absence of a finding on this issue. Any consent is therefore
124/015610-0004/3273421.3 ■cdat.ctima>
-6-
made without prejudice to, or waiver of, the City's right to
fully investigate and consider Transferor or Transferee's
financial, technical and legal qualifications and any other
relevant considerations during any proceeding including by way of
example and not limitation, any future transfer or renewal
proceeding. Without limiting the foregoing, any approval of the
Transfer is not a finding or representation that the Franchise
will be renewed or extended (and approval shall not create an
obligation to renew or extend the Franchise); that Transferor or
Transferee is "financially, technically or legally" qualified to
hold a franchise; or that any other renewal issue that may arise
with respect to past performance or future cable -related needs
and interests will be resolved in a manner favorable to
Transferor or Transferee. Unless provided for within this
Transfer Agreement, nothing in this Transfer Agreement shall
constitute a waiver of any of Transferor's, Transferee's,
Guarantor's, or City's rights or remedies under federal, state or
local law.
11. The Transferee and Guarantor expressly agree that any
litigation arising from or relating to the Franchise Documents
shall be filed and litigated exclusively in the Superior Court,
County of Riverside, State of California or, if jurisdictional
requirements are otherwise met, the Federal District Court for
the Central District, California. Transferee and Guarantor
hereby jointly accept service of process by way of service upon
the General Manager of the local office of the Transferee.

the Franchise Documents as a joint and several primary liable
party. Guarantor hereby waives any obligation which the City
might possess to exhaust its remedies against the Transferee as a
condition of enforcing obligations against the Guarantor pursuant
to the Franchise Documents.

terms contained in the Franchise Documents shall be deemed to be

difference between the amount paid and the amount determined by
the City's audit is less than five percent (5%) of the amount
paid to the City, or if Transferor does not dispute the results
of the City's audit, then Transferor shall pay the City the
difference in the amount determined to be owed by the Audit
Report. This obligation is guaranteed by the Transferee. If the
Audit Report determines that the amount due and owing is more
than five percent (5%) greater than the amount paid to the City
and Transferor disputes the audit results, the dispute shall be
submitted to a mutually agreed upon, independent certified public
