Council extends SCE temporary pole permit at Ladera Linda park and orders 4‑month review
Summary
The council approved a six‑month extension for Southern California Edison’s temporary power pole at Ladera Linda Community Park, with a staff status briefing requested in four months to ensure closure before the permit expires.
The City Council considered a time extension for Southern California Edison’s temporary power pole at Ladera Linda Community Park after council members pulled the item from the consent calendar.
City staff told the council that SCE has submitted plans, plan review is nearly complete, and crews would need some time to mobilize. "I'm actually quite confident that this will be the last extension," a staff member said, noting plan review delays tied to a vacancy in the review team.
Council member Bradley expressed frustration about the recurrence of temporary extensions and asked whether the item would return in six months; staff said they expected mobilization within the extension period. Mayor Pro Tem asked staff to provide a status briefing in four months as an interim check. The council moved to receive and file the item with the amendment requiring a four‑month status briefing; the motion passed unanimously on roll call.
What happens next: staff will field‑verify SCE’s plans, post a four‑month status briefing to council, and monitor SCE’s mobilization to ensure the work is completed within the six‑month temporary permit period.
