Underground Utilities Director of Administrative Services Netter turned discussion over Rule 20 -A to City Engineer /Director of Public 'Works Ron Brust, and advised Distribution that the Council was provided with a copy of a memo from the League of Califonia Cities which indicates that there has been a change in the Mule 20 -A distribution formula. Mr. Brust explained that the Rule 20-A is the formula that distributes /allocates funds to cities for the undergrounding of existing overhead utilities. Basically, the formula has been changed so that the total amount budgeted by PG &E for Rule 20-A will be distributed to cities and counties on a formula based 50% on total meters and 5OZ on overhead meters. In the past the formula has been based only on overhead meters, which means the more undergrounding you did, the less funds you received under the formula since you would be reducing your overhead meters. The new formula seems to be much more equitable and should result in Rohnert Park receiving additional underground funds.
