"Dud" Kyle Mayor W,JV A r PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY 1 Electric Buiiding 621 S.W.Alder Street \ ! 1 Portland 5, Oregon May 4, 1965 The Honorable E.G. Kyle, Mayor City of Tigard Tigard, Oregon Dear Mayor Kyle- P!te Perrine, our Tigard Manager, forwarded your recent letter regarding the possibilities of undergrounding the PGE distribution system on Main Street. Portland General Electric Company is most anxious to cooperate in any recognized effort for civic beautification which is compatible with the rate structure of the company and the basic obli- gacion which it bears to provide nondiscriminatory service to its customers. In the implementation of this, the company has adopted a specific policy covering the relocation of overhead or the installation of underground in areas already served by existing and adequate overhead facilities. In summary, the policy assures cooperation by the company, 2- ;. ided that the undepreciated investment in existing facilities, together with the cost of removal, is paid by the organization or entity requesting such removal (with full credit for salvage, of course) and that the company is reimbursed for the excess cost of underground installation over the normal overhead installation required to serve the area under consideration. Certain other limitations are contained in the policy. A copy of our Standard Practice Instruction excerpts which state this policy in more detail is appended to this letter. Relating this policy specifically to Tigard, we would proceed by determining the remaining value in place and removal cost of the facilities to be removed from Main Strect. We would expect to bill this amount, less salvage, to the city. We would then develop a plan to serve as many of the Main Street buildings as possible from lines on side streets or back lot lines. There would be no charge for the installation of such facilities. Next, we would design a minimum PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY The Honorable E. G. Kyle May 4, 1965 Page two underground system to serve the buildings on Main Street that could not be served from side streets or back lot lines and would expect to bill the city for the difference in cost between the underground system and an equivalent overhead system. Each customer to be served under- ground would be required to rewire his premises at his expense to receive underground service. The above procedure would accomplish the objective of removing the overhead lines from Main Street at minimum expense to the city. Provision would need to be made for installation of an ornamental street lighting system to replace the lights now installed on the overhead pole line. Ou-.- experience in working with several other cities on these problems indicates that a good approach is for the City Council to designate three individuals with whom we can work to come up with a plan that will solve the problem at a minimum of expense to both parties. We assume that West Coast Telephone Company has been contacted, since they, too, have facilities in the area. PGE is entirely in accord with the desires of the City of Tigard to improve the aesthetics of its principal business thoroughfare, and we congratulate the city on its farsightedness in planning ahead in this manner. I plan to attend the Council meeting of May 10, along with several people from our engineering staff, to answer any questions you may have at that time. Very truly yours, M. E.
