Council authorizes utility agreement with CenterPoint to relocate transmission structure for future Coburn Road
Summary
Council approved Resolution R‑4011 authorizing a utility construction services agreement with CenterPoint Energy to relocate a transmission pole and structure (Structure 05502) to clear the alignment for future Coburn Road; staff said the work is in the CIP and FY2025 budget.
Staff explained that moving Structure 05502 and installing a new transmission pole roughly 100–110 feet south along the alignment is necessary to accommodate the planned Coburn Road Segment 2 from State Highway 36 to FM 2218. The project was described as included in the FY2024 CIP and FY2025 budget and staff recommended authorizing the city manager to negotiate and execute the utility construction services agreement with CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric LLC.
Council briefly discussed whether service interruptions would occur; staff said CenterPoint typically notifies affected customers and posts tags for businesses and residents, but staff could not speak for CenterPoint operations. Council approved the resolution and asked staff to coordinate communications for any planned outages.
