NEWS ADVISORY Contact: Janine Zuniga; (619) 522-7340 Undergrounding Open House Forums Held, Next Steps CORONADO, CA (April 24, 2019) – The City hosted two open-house forums in April to present information about its Utility Undergrounding Program and receive feedback from the community. City staff and the City’s consultant, Harris & Associates, talked about options that could maximize or stretch the only funds that have been tentatively set aside by the City Council -- $33 million in General Fund resources -- for placing utilities underground. They also answered questions about those options. The next step is for City staff to return the findings from the community to the City Council at a future meeting. The Council will consider a preferred funding strategy and provide direction on developing an implementation policy. The presentation from the forums can be found here. ###
