Commissioners approve permit for JL Contracting to relocate cables for 300 North widening
Summary
The board approved a permit allowing JL Contracting to move communications cables into an underground conduit on County Road 300 North so the county can widen the road; staff said moving the cables is necessary for the planned pavement project.
Adams County commissioners approved a specific permit request from JL Contracting (a subcontractor for a communications provider) to move overhead cables into underground conduit along County Road 300 North where the county plans to widen and pave the roadway.
Staff said the cable placement is on the east side of the road in a short narrow stretch that will be widened during the paving project; the company will bore under the road where necessary to relocate lines to the north side within the right‑of‑way and remove poles. Staff reported no objection to the permit and said the work aligns with the county’s paving schedule; a commissioner moved to approve the permit, a second was offered, and the motion passed.
Why it matters: relocating utilities is necessary to complete the roadway widening and helps avoid conflicts during construction; county staff said the work will be coordinated with the paving contractor and that costs for moving poles where needed will be handled under the project arrangements.
Details: staff identified the location as County Road 300 North between 66 East and 27 (approximate local coordinates given in the staff presentation) and noted the work should permit paving to the proper width for that short stretch.
Next steps: staff will issue the permit to JL Contracting and coordinate timing with the paving contractor.
