Board authorizes chair to sign Allo Communications right-of-way permit
Summary
The board authorized the chair to sign a right-of-way permit requested by Allo Communications to continue fiber/conduit work in the Maloney Highlands/North Lake area; highway superintendent reported preconstruction meetings and permit payment status.
The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners authorized the chair on May 5 to sign a right-of-way permit submitted by Allo Communications to continue work in the Maloney Highlands/North Lakes area.
Jason Schultz, Lincoln County Highway Superintendent, told the board the permit continues fiber work that previously followed Buffalo and North Lakes roads and that the county had no objections from the road department. Schultz said most permits include a pre-construction meeting and that plan documents are saved on the highway server; he is cataloguing prior permit documentation to ensure compliance. The packet shows a payment of $824.48 associated with the permit.
Why it matters: Right-of-way permits allow private telecom companies to place infrastructure within county rights-of-way; the highway superintendent reviews permits for compliance and coordinates pre-construction meetings to protect county roads and utilities.
What the board did: Commissioners voted to authorize the chair to sign the permit; the motion carried on roll call.
Next steps: Highway staff will continue cataloguing past permit documentation, follow up on outstanding permit payments and hold pre-construction meetings for the upcoming work.
