Approve Communications Facility Lease with Connexus Energy Last winter, Connexus Energy placed a 35 foot utility pole in the Washington County road right- of-way at the intersection of CR 4 and CR 57 for their communications needs. However, Connexus encountered operational interference and, after testing, established that a taller pole would need to be installed. City staff had been working with Connexus in offering an alternative to the installation of a 50-60 foot utility pole by locating their equipment on the City's water tower. After further testing, communication between their equipment was successful when located on the tower. City staff had negotiated a lease agreement with Connexus Energy for the location of their equipment on the City's water tower located on 159th Street North. The existing utility pole will no longer be required and therefore, will be removed with this project. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the Communications Facility Lease Agreement with Connexus Energy.
