Geary County approves AT&T petition to place fiber along I‑70 in county right‑of‑way
Summary
Commissioners approved AT&T’s petition to install buried fiber‑optic conduit and cable along I‑70; public works recommended standard right‑of‑way conditions and commissioners asked to be notified before work begins.
At a regular meeting, the Geary County Board of Commissioners approved a petition from AT&T to install fiber‑optic cable along Interstate 70 within county right‑of‑way.
Jeremy Myers, interim public works administrator, described the request as a standard petition to install two 2‑inch conduits and a 44‑strand fiber cable at approximately 3‑foot burial depth through mostly boring operations. Myers said he added standard right‑of‑way conditions and recommended commission approval.
A commissioner moved and the commission voted by voice to approve the request; the record shows an affirmative voice vote but no roll‑call tally was provided in the transcript. Commissioners asked AT&T to notify the county before construction begins so staff or a commissioner can inspect work in progress and verify compliance with right‑of‑way conditions.
