The City of Blaine is designing a project to install an eletrical utility line between the Blaine
Substantion and Semiahmoo. This project clearly falls within the intent of the 50 -year non-

roads which was granted to Blaine on April 14, 1969, by the County Board of Commissioners.
The area in which this project will be located is continguous to areas already designated in the

amendment to the franchise to include that area.
Attached hereto for your consideration is the petition from the City of Blaine, together with the
proposed amendment to the existing utilities franchise. Also attached is a copy of the original
franchise for your reference.
