Implementation problems relating to the cost of street crossing and equitable cost

consideration by the Board at its regular business meeting.
- Wait until Southwest Gas comes in and joint trench with them to handle the
street crossings.
- Form an assessment district in individual subdivisions that choose to put
existing overhead facilities underground.
- Have the District pay for street crossings and charge a facilities fee or
connection charge.
- Have no underground policy in existing overhead subdivisions.
- Strictly adhere to the policy as adopted.
- Have the District pay for street crossings and public utility easement
crossings for this season and study the option of using assessment districts
and Southwest Gas. Increase the connection fee for this season.
- Consider a policy that relates specifically to the need for low income
housing.
