Posted documents to the Vallemar Conservator's website

We've posted a number of documents to the Vallemar Conservator website. Rudy's created a section for sharing documents.

Here's an official report from the public works department on the issue. This includes a summary of the issue, a report from Patti Wylie, letters from PG&E, forms submitted by PG&E to remove heritage trees, and a copy of the franchise agreement between PG&E and the City of Pacifica.

The most recent correspondence I've seen, is this letter from PG&E to Aren Clark in Public Works.

The franchise agreement is the legal contract between PG&E and the City of Pacifica. It basically says that PG&E agrees to provide power, maintain the lines, and share some portion of the revenue collected. It was signed into law in 1958. Section 3 of this agreement states:

[PG&E] shall relocate, without expense to city, any poles, wires, conduits and appurtenances theretofore installed, and then maintained or used under this franchise, if and when made necessary by any lawful change of grade, aligllignment or width of any streets by city...

As far as I can tell, PG&E is only required to relocate the poles if some sort of construction by the city requires the poles to be relocated. PG&E doesn't consider "vegetation" something that requires pole relocation.
