Committee votes to send revised Betty Spring pole petition to City Council for public hearing
Summary
The committee referred a revised National Grid petition to relocate a pole on Betty Spring Road to the City Council for a public hearing and vote after members confirmed the petition had changed and required another hearing under the council process.
The committee reviewed a revised petition from National Grid to relocate pole 9450 on Betty Spring Road and determined the change required another public hearing because the utility altered the petition order. The chair explained that although the petition had previously been presented, the change triggers the two-meeting rule and a new hearing will be scheduled.
A motion was made and seconded to refer the petition to the full City Council for a public hearing and vote. The clerk called the roll and several members recorded affirmative votes; the chair stated, "So this item, will be sent up to the council for a public hearing and a vote." The committee therefore advanced the petition to the City Council; staff indicated the item will appear on the council docket following the required public hearing and notification to abutters.
No technical objections were raised by the city engineer, who said he would review as needed. The committee did not make a final decision on the petition itself — that determination will come after the City Council hearing and any final council vote.
