WHEREAS, the City of Tiburon has adopted Ordinance No. 12 N.S.
'Underground Utility Districts"; and

necessity, health, safety, or welfare requires such undergrounding;
WHEREAS, a public hearing was called for and held on April 4, 1979, in
the Council Chambers, City Hall, Tiburon,California, to ascertain whether

poles, overhead wires and associated overhead structures, and the under-
ground installation of wires and facilities for supplying electric,
communication or similar or associated services within that certain area
of the City described as follows: an extension of the Underground Utility
District established November 14, 1977, by the City of Tiburon Resolution

toward and including the intersection portion of Rock Hill Road, as
more particularly shown in Exhibit A attached hereto:

by this undergrounding, notice of such hearing has been given to adjacent
property owners; and
WHEREAS, such hearing has been duly and regularly held and all
persons interested have been given an opportunity to be heard;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of

grounding and hereby orders removal of all poles, overhead wires and
associated overhead structures and the placement of these same utilities
