Overhead Electric Powerline Easement with NW Energy for Trail Corridor Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Kellen Gamradt, Engineer II Shawn Kohtz, City Engineer SUBJECT: Overhead Electric Power line Easement in trail corridor adjacent to New Hyalite View Subdivision AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent MEETING DATE: April 15, 2019 RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager to sign the Easement Agreement for property needed to install and maintain overhead electric power lines in a City owned trail corridor adjacent to New Hyalite View Subdivision. BACKGROUND: Northwestern Energy is requesting a 20 foot wide overhead electric easement to provide for the relocation of an existing 50kV electric transmission line currently located along the residential lots on Holly Drive and Maple Drive within the New Hyalite View Subdivision. The primary reason for this request is to consolidate an electric distribution line as an under- build with the transmission line in one easement area which will be along the south boundary of the City of Bozeman open space property, where a distribution line currently exists that serves the residential lots along the north side of Holly Drive. For an illustration, please refer to the Exhibit "A" drawing attached to the easement. The net effect of this relocation will clean up the residential area, while enabling NWE to better operate both systems more efficiently going forward. UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None FISCAL EFFECTS: None ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
