Summary

The committee recommended that the city manager negotiate a revocable license and indemnification agreement with Eversource (Public Service Company of New Hampshire DBA Eversource) for access across city land near Dylan Hopkins Airport, replacing an earlier easement request to preserve greater city control over duration and terms.

A city attorney explained a change requested by staff and legal counsel to substitute a revocable license for an easement to permit Eversource access to transmission lines across city land adjacent to Dylan Hopkins Airport in Swansea. The attorney said a license allows the city to limit the duration and adjust terms more readily than an easement while still meeting Eversource’s operational needs; Eversource is aware of and agreeable to the change. The committee moved, seconded, and voted unanimously to recommend that the city manager be authorized to negotiate and execute a revocable license and indemnification agreement.
