the utilities would be identified, and they would be relocated if necessary to service the facilities, and that would be at the utility company cost. supervisor wiener: what if the city wants to move it? it is not in the middle of the sidewalk, to pay for the relocation? >> these facilities, utility companies are normally controlled by the franchise agreement or their agreement with the city and pays for that, and those are always case specific as it relates to the utility company itself, so i really can only give you a broader answer that typically it would be under the utilities cost. supervisor wiener: thank you. is there anything else you wanted to add? >> no, sir. supervisor wiener: thank you. colleagues? i want to thank everyone for coming out. making these decisions about our public rights of way, we are perhaps urged since we're taking a look at the surface mounted facilities or to see if there is any way to improve the coordination, to make it more consistent, and to make the perspective broader, so with that, i guess a motion to file. supervisor mar: ok, without objection. ms. somera, please call item no. 5. clerk somera: biden mi5, the general plan amendment. supervisor
