Home My WebLink AboutA004 - Council Action Form dated July 12, 2022 - approving easement t ITEM # 33 DATE: 06- -22 COUNCIL ACTION FORM , SUBJECT: UNDERGROUND ELECTRICAL UTILITY EASEMENT ON THE PRAIRIE VIEW INDUSTRIAL LIFT STATION SITE LOCATED AT 207 S TELLER AVE. BACKGROUND: A sanitary sewer lift station is being constructed at 207 South Teller Avenue to serve the Prairie View Industrial area. Interstate Power and Light Company, an Iowa Corporation, (Alliant Energy) has requested an underground electrical utility easement, located along the east side of the property, and extending west into the lift station. This easement will be used to place switch back gear for the overhead electrical lines on the east side of Teller Ave. With the planned construction of an interchange at US 30 and Teller Ave by the Iowa DOT, Alliant Energy will be relocating overhead powerlines underground from US 30 to the lift station site. The switch back gear that will be placed in the easement will be the point where the new underground will switch back to the existing overhead power lines on the east side of Teller Ave. Public Works staff has had several conversations, including an onsite meeting, with Alliant Energy staff on the placement location of the switch back gear and the concrete pad on which it will be built. The agreed upon location will meet Alliant Energy's access needs and have minimal impact on the lift station features and landscaping. The switch back gear will also provide a location to tie in the electrical building of the lift station site when complete. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the utility easement at 207 S Teller Ave to Interstate Power and Light Company, an Iowa Corporation. 2. Do not set a date of public hearing to consider granting of the easement at 207 S Teller Ave. 3. Refer this item back to City staff for additional information. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approving the easement will allow Alliant Energy to underground a portion of their facilities and place switch back gear for the overhead electrical line tie-in. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above.
