Montrose council asks Brightspeed to meet and seeks video inspection before permitting work
Summary
Council directed the city manager to contact Brightspeed and arrange a meeting before approving a right‑of‑way permit; newly appointed City Manager Barbara Valentine recommended a video inspection of water and sewer lines prior to boring. The council set a target of meeting before the Jan. 28 approval deadline.
The Montrose City Council on Dec. 23 directed the city manager to contact Brightspeed, the company identified in the application as the purchaser of CenturyLink, and to invite the company to a council meeting before approving a right‑of‑way permit.
Councilmember Ryan Heslop moved, and Mayor Pro-Tem Mark Richard seconded, that the city manager meet with Brightspeed to discuss the application prior to approval; the motion passed unanimously. Newly appointed City Manager Barbara Valentine recommended Brightspeed perform a video inspection of the city’s water and sewer lines prior to boring work.
The motion set an administrative timeline for the city manager to complete outreach and meet with the company ahead of the council’s planned permit decision by Jan. 28. The minutes do not record further technical details, such as the scope or standards for the requested video inspection; those specifications remain to be determined in the follow-up meeting.
