Commission approves 15-year Metro Act permit for EZ Fiber Texas LLC
Summary
Mount Clemens authorized a bilateral Metro Act right-of-way permit for EZ Fiber Texas LLC to install fiber-optic cable and related facilities in the city right-of-way; staff said the application was reviewed by the city attorney.
The Mount Clemens City Commission authorized execution of a bilateral Metro Act right-of-way permit with EZ Fiber Texas LLC to install fiber-optic cable and ancillary facilities in the city’s public right-of-way.
City staff presented the EZ Fiber application and permit materials and told commissioners the request is made under the Metropolitan Extension Telecommunications Right of Way Act (Metro Act, Public Act 48 of 2002). The permit discussed at the meeting was described as a 15-year bilateral Metro Act permit with automatic renewals every five years, subject to the terms and conditions of the permit and city code review by the city attorney.
Commissioners asked questions about permitting and expressed support for requiring permit applications so the city can be informed about right-of-way work and to coordinate with public works to reduce impacts. The record shows the motion to approve the permit was moved, supported and approved by roll-call vote.
The meeting record does not include the full permit text or a copy of permit conditions; the city attorney reviewed the materials, according to staff comments.
