Resident says utility box placed in front of house; asks who pays to move it
Summary
Gary McLeod said a utility box was installed in front of his house despite prior requests to place it elsewhere and that he was told he would have to pay to move it; the board said staff will look into relocation procedure and cost estimates.
Gary McLeod identified himself for the record (7601 Huron) and described a box installed in front of his house that he had asked be placed to the side or across the street. McLeod said he reached out to the contractor contact "Dave," who agreed to look at relocating the unit, but later learned relocation would likely be at the resident’s cost. "I do care where it is, and if it's this much money... I don't wanna sound like a psychopath and get mad," McLeod said, emphasizing frustration that he would have to pay to move something he did not request.
Board members and staff responded that relocation requests typically carry a cost estimate and that staff would follow up to clarify the process and whether the district or contractor would cover costs. The chair told McLeod, "I assure you, mister McLeod, that I we will look into that," and asked staff to report back to the resident. No formal action was taken at the meeting.
