Under discussion, Councilmember Daysog inquired how AMP is characterizing cost. The Engineering and Operations Manager stated the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) rule 32A allows for telecom companies to set aside money in a reserve fund for programs; there is minimal cost for conduit and underground. Councilmember Daysog inquired whether the program would be affected by inflation. The Engineering and Operations Manager responded in the negative; stated the pre- established limit denotes the master contractor costs for doing the work; the program is designed to cover 99.9% of the costs; with the rate of inflation, the rate will increase as well; the project does not readjust after five years; there was no formal mechanism to bring the policy back to Council; any changes to the policy would be a Council decision that requires public input.
