Administrator Zylla informed the Council that a request has been received from the Unification Church to solicit funds in the City for the support and develop- ment of Christian youth centers. The Council tabled their request until more information was available. Administrator Zylla presented the Council with some suggested amendments to Chapter 63, Fire Prevention of the Municipal Code. The changes are suggested by Chief Fagerstrom and conform to changes made by the State Legislature replacing the Fire Prevention Code with the 1973 Edition of the Uniform Fire Code. Engineer Comstock's Report Engineer Comstock explained the highlights of a meeting with the administrator, attorney, and representatives of N.S.P. this past afternoon. The meeting concerned the electrical distribution facilities in the area as designated Project 1973 -4. NSP presented three alternatives: first, leaving the electrical facilities basically where they are and moving the poles now in the path of the street extensions off to the side of the street, but within the right -of -way; second, moving the lines to the rear lot lines of the future new lots that would be created; and third, going underground with a complete system north of Ardan Avenue. The staff agreed that the most feasible and economical at this time was alternative #1 with the exception of proposed Pleasant View Drive which would be underground because there are not overhead distribution systems in that area at this time. The cost and complexities of alternative #2 and #3 also bear heavily on the decision to stay with alternative #1.
