A memorandum containing these comments was also <br />forwarded to Xcel Energy. <br /> <br />On May 16, 2007 Staff met with three representatives of Xcel Energy to discuss <br />the proposed gas main replacement project. The original alignment of the <br />proposed gas main was along the south side of County Road 10. At this meeting, <br />Staff was informed that Xcel was now considering installation along the north <br />side. <br /> <br />On June 4, 2007 Xcel Energy Gas Engineer, Omeeda Rahim, presented the gas <br />main proposal at the June Work Session. <br /> <br /> <br /> Discussion: <br />The City has received a permit application for the installation of the proposed gas <br />transmission line. The permit included extremely simplistic sketches of the <br />proposed installation. Based on these simplistic sketches and general lack of <br />information Staff scheduled a meeting for July 24th with Xcel Energy Gas <br />Engineer, Omeeda Rahim, and other Xcel representatives and their selected <br />installation contractor. <br />
