D. SCHEDULED ITEMS
1. Accept or Reject a Recommendation from the California Underground Safety Board
Regarding Actions by Azusa Light & Water During a Dig Alert Incident
Recommendation: 1) Under Government Code Section 4216.6(c) and (d), the Utility Board accept
the recommendation of the Safety Board and require the appropriate ALW representative to take the
Safety Board’s online education course; or 2) Under Government Code Section 4216(c) and (d), the
Utility Board reject the recommendation of the Safety Board based on the following findings: (a)
ALW has already communicated with Dig Alert to provide separate shape files for the different
service areas of Public Works, Water Division, and Electric Division since each department responds
and manages notifications separately; (b) A firm has been retained to create a Positive Response
Platform to manage incoming Dig Alert Tickets; and (c) Since the omission was not due to a lack of
knowledge or experience with Dig Alert Tickets, requiring an ALW representative to devote time
and resources to take the Safety Board’s online education course would not be useful.
