Summary
The board approved several utility‑work permits (25‑35 through 25‑43) to allow new service lines and pole replacements; Frontier’s permit to move lines for a roundabout at County Highway 3 and U.S. 52 was among those recommended for approval and approved by motion and voice vote.
County staff recommended approval of multiple utility permits for private utilities to install or relocate lines in county right‑of‑way, and the county board approved the set by voice vote.
Staff read several permit requests by location and utility. Examples included permit 25‑35 on County Highway 6 in Deer Park for Ameren to install a new gas service to a house; permit 25‑36 on County Highway 29 in Eagle Township to replace poles near Highway 29; permit 25‑37 on County Highway 43 in Walton Township for Ameren; permit 25‑38 on County Avenue 13 in Demick Township for a new house service; and permit 25‑39 on County Highway 3 in Northville Township to replace poles along the right of way.
Permit 25‑43, for Frontier, would relocate lines to accommodate a roundabout at County Highway 3 and U.S. 52. Staff recommended approval for this permit; the staff member described it as part of a state project and recommended the permit be approved. A board member moved to approve the permits and the motion carried on a voice vote.
The transcript records the staff recommendation and the motion. The motion was approved; the meeting record shows a voice “Aye” and “Motion carried” but did not include a roll‑call tally.
Ending: Staff will issue permits in accordance with county procedures; work in the right‑of‑way remains subject to any state project coordination and applicable utility requirements.
