Commissioners approve multiple joint-use agreements for broadband and gas lines
Summary
Randall County approved several joint-use agreements with Windstream, West Texas Gas and Amarillo Natural Gas for communication and natural gas lines (items described as part of a larger fiber loop and local development connections); each agreement was approved unanimously, 5-0.
County staff presented a series of utility joint-use agreements covering broadband fiber and natural gas distribution lines to serve county roads and local developments.
A Windstream joint-use agreement was presented for a communication line routing described to fit a larger loop project; commissioners noted minor wording changes and approved the agreement. A second Windstream segment moving down Sundown Lane and toward the I-27 corridor was described as a continuation of the same project and also approved. Separately, staff recommended approval of a West Texas Gas Utility LLC agreement to install a polyethylene natural gas distribution line to serve the Thistle Downs development on West Farmers Avenue, and the county approved that as well. Finally, a short run for Amarillo Natural Gas Inc. on Arnott Road and 58th Avenue to serve a nearby customer was approved.
All motions to approve these agreements were carried unanimously (5-0). Staff said work will follow county procedures for permitting, location coordination and roadway crossings.
