Commission approves up-to-$30,000 city contribution for Mackenzie Electric relocation tied to HWBL project
Summary
As part of the HWBL infrastructure project, the city agreed to cap its contribution at $30,000 toward relocating an electric line that lies partially outside the public right-of-way; staff will continue negotiations on precise footage and prorated costs.
Staff explained that a portion of Mackenzie Electric's line was installed outside the public right-of-way and that a franchise agreement and an easement from 2013 complicate the relocation cost allocation. The proposed city share was presented as a prorated portion of the relocation; staff asked the commission to approve the contract with the city's contribution capped at $30,000 so the larger HWBL project can proceed.
Commissioners approved the contract with the stated $30,000 cap and directed staff to continue negotiations to refine the exact footage outside the right-of-way and the final prorated cost. Staff noted the approval is contingent on follow-up conversations to reduce the city's share where appropriate.
