G.12 Approve Purchase of Easement on Atkinson Property – 147th Street As part of the new Public Works Facility project, 3 phase electrical power is required and currently being installed. Public Works staff has worked with Xcel Energy to find the most cost effective way to provide this power to the new building. The best route involves installing an underground electrical mainline across the Atkinson property located on the south side of 147th St. N. (north of Irish Avenue Park). Xcel Energy has drafted an easement document (see attachment) and City Staff has negotiated a price of $8,000 with Mike Atkinson for the purchase of the easement.
