Board approves redline of PG&E permanent easement for pole work near Royal Park
Summary
The board approved a redlined permanent easement deed to allow PG&E to place a secondary pole adjacent to district property to strengthen an existing line; staff said the work should not impede park use and would reduce risk of downed poles.
Staff presented a redline of a permanent easement deed requested by PG&E to place and strengthen a power pole on district property near Royal Park (APN 082‑184‑001). Legal counsel negotiated edits that increased consideration and clarified protections; staff asked the board to approve the redline and allow execution if PG&E accepts without further changes.
Board members asked whether neighbors were consulted and if CEQA applied; staff said the pole would sit on neighboring property and there is no expected CEQA requirement and maintenance rights remain with the district. Staff noted the location will not interfere with the trail or park use and that PG&E has historically accessed the area for maintenance. The board moved and approved Resolution 2026‑19 authorizing the easement with the caveat that the redline be accepted by PG&E or be brought back for further discussion.
