Resolution approving an underground distribution easement to Wisconsin Electric Power Company (WE Energies) at 11100 W. Walnut road
body
WHEREAS, the Fire Department operates a fire training center located immediately north of the Department of Public Works City Garage at 11100 W. Walnut Road; and
WHEREAS, the Fire Department has coordinated with a local electrical contractor to obtain donated time and materials to install additional electrical access points to support training operations at the Fire Training Grounds; and
WHEREAS, the proposed improvements require an upgraded electrical service line from Wisconsin Electric Power Company (WE Energies); and
WHEREAS, WE Energies requires the granting of an underground distribution easement across City-owned property located at 11100 W. Walnut Road in order to install and maintain the upgraded electrical service; and
WHEREAS, the easement will solely serve City facilities and may be abandoned in the future should the service no longer be needed; and
WHEREAS, the cost of the electrical service upgrade will be paid from the Fire Department’s budget, and no compensation will be paid to the City for the easement because the installation serves a municipal purpose.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City that the Underground Distribution Easement to Wisconsin Electric Power Company (WE Energies) for the installation and maintenance of upgraded electrical service at City-owned property located at 11100 W. Walnut Road is hereby approved.
