Summary
Pelham City Council unanimously approved Ordinance 525, granting MCI Metro Access Transmission Services LLC a nonexclusive right to construct and maintain fiber communications in city right-of-way.
The Pelham City Council voted unanimously Aug. 18 to adopt Ordinance 525, authorizing a nonexclusive right-of-way agreement with MCI Metro Access Transmission Services LLC to construct and maintain a fiber-based communications system within certain public rights of way in Pelham.
The ordinance (first reading: Aug. 4) was moved and seconded during the Aug. 18 meeting; the council then conducted a roll-call vote. Council President Mercer, Council member Quorum, Council member Leverett, Council member Walsh and Council member Harris each answered “yes” when called, and the mayor announced the ordinance had passed unanimously.
The ordinance grants the company a nonexclusive easement to install fiber infrastructure under terms described in the agreement included with the ordinance packet.
