Council adopts resolution to notify utilities, begin documenting hazardous poles
Summary
Council adopted a resolution directing the city to notify utility owners, require written inspection findings for hazardous poles and prioritize remediation; staff cited roughly $3 million available for repairs or grants.
The Gregory City Council adopted a resolution directing staff to survey hazardous utility poles and to provide written inspection findings and remediation schedules to utility owners. Staff described the resolution as a public‑notice mechanism that begins the documentation process and puts utilities on formal notice to repair or replace poles identified as safety hazards.
According to staff, approximately $3,000,000 was cited as available through grants or utility‑commission funding to support repairs, though staff emphasized this resolution is the initial administrative step; further remediation and coordination with AT&T, AEP, Frontier and other providers will follow. "This is basically giving AT and T public notice that we're gonna start reporting the poll," a staff speaker said, framing the resolution as the first step to compel repairs.
Council moved and seconded the resolution and members discussed that the action does not itself make repairs but creates a process for documentation, notice and prioritization to protect public safety.
