In order to extend the needed electrical facilities to provide service to Fire Station #4, CPS Energy needs to cross some city-owned property.  Easements are needed in order for CPS Energy to be able to install and maintain overhead electrical facilities that will provide electrical service to the new fire station.  The easements are located in what were originally platted as residential lots in the Live Oak Hills Subdivision.  The easements need to run from the northern end of Quail Lane, along the northern boundary of the subdivision, past Rio Lane to the newly created lot for Fire Station #4.  Easements would be needed across Lot 9, Block 45; Lots 8 and 9, Block 48; and Lot 8, Block 49 of the subdivision.  A map view of the easements needed is attached to the Resolution.

By providing the easements, CPS Energy will have a route to extend existing power facilities to provide the needed service to the new fire station.

The goal of Resolution 26-R-007 is to grant CPS Energy easements across Lot 9, Block 45; Lots 8 and 9, Block 48; and Lot 8, Block 49 of Live Oak Hills Subdivision so that electrical facilities can be extended to the Fire Station #4 site.

The City identified a need for a fire station on Wiederstein Road to provide improved response times for part of the City.  Granting of the requested easements will allow electrical facilities to be extended, providing for the power needs of the new fire station.

Staff recommends Council approve the resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute easement documents to provide a route for CPS Energy to extend electrical facilities to the new Fire Station #4 site.
