BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

Application of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (U39M), a California Corporation, and City of Santa Rosa, a California Charter City, for an Order Ratifying Permanent Easements Granted to the City of Santa Rosa by Pacific Gas and Electric Company and Authorizing the Sale and Conveyance of Certain Parcels of Land in Sonoma County to the City of Santa Rosa pursuant to California Public Utilities Code Section 851.

Application 03-08-003 (Filed August 6, 2003)

OPINION APPROVING SALE OF REAL PROPERTY

UNDER PUBLIC UTILITIES CODE SECTION 851

Summary

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is authorized to sell and convey to City of Santa Rosa (Santa Rosa) approximately 115.5 acres of land in Sonoma County. PG&E's request that we ratify PG&E's earlier grant to Santa Rosa of easements over a portion of that property is moot. Allocation of the gain from the sale is deferred to our rulemaking on that topic, and this proceeding is closed.
