Resolution declared adopted. <br />The City Administrator reviewed the City Engineer's report dated August <br />21, 2015 outlining estimated costs associated with powerline relocation/ <br />replacement along Centerville Road. The Administrator noted that at the <br />City's request, Xcel Energy has looked at the need for poles on both sides <br />of the road, with the potential to combine the Xcel Energy and Century <br />Link utilities to poles on only one side of the road. The Administrator <br />indicated that the initial estimate for the work was $90,000. Xcel is now <br />estimating this cost at about $200,000. Xcel has indicated that to obtain a <br />true estimate, the City would have to make a non-refundable deposit of <br />$5,000 for a more detailed review. <br />The Council discussed the options available for the powerlines along <br />Centerville Road as well as resulting tree impacts. Based on this <br />discussion, the consensus was to not move forward with burying of <br />powerlines along Centerville Road or the relocation of all lines to one side <br />of the street. <br />McGraw introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2015-8-172 — DECLARING THE COUNCIL'S <br />POSITION TO NOT MOVE FORWARD WITH THE BURYING OF <br />POWERLINES ALONG CENTERVILLE ROAD OR WITH THE <br />RELOCATION OF POWERLINES TO ONE SIDE OF THE STREET <br />GIVEN COST AS WELL AS TREE IMPACTS <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Keis. <br />Ayes (4). <br />Nays (0).
