Purpose and Intent
San Diego Municipal Code § 61.2100
in effect§61.2100 Purpose and Intent
The purpose and intent of this Division is to provide qualified limited–income property owners with a method for fulfilling their obligation under Section 61.0513 of this Article, to provide all necessary work for continuance of utility service when such services are placed underground. The Council finds and declares that California Public Utilities Commission orders and City ordinance requiring property owners to provide all work and facilities necessary to receive underground service pursuant to the conversion and relocation procedures of the San Diego Underground Utilities Procedural Ordinance and state law often results in financial hardship to limited–income property owners.
Because of this finding and declaration, the City Council, in the exercise of the Council’s charter power to make suitable provision for the aid and support of the poor, determines and declares that it is in the public interest for the City to provide a method for advancement and deferral of payment of these costs for qualified limited–income owners until such time as the property served is transferred or refinanced. The Council further finds and declares that all expenditures and investments made pursuant to this Division are incidental to the accomplishment of the primary purpose of making suitable provision for the aid and support of the poor.
