Final Adoption of Ordinance No. 5106 Granting a Non-Exclusive Power Distribution Easement to Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District (SRP), at No Cost, for Electrical Facilities Relocation Required as Part of the Chandler Heights Road Improvement Project

Proposed Motion:

Move City Council approve final adoption of Ordinance No. 5106 granting a non-exclusive power distribution easement to SRP, at no cost, for electrical facilities relocation required as part of the Chandler Heights Road Improvement Project.

Background:

The city is planning improvements to Chandler Heights Road from Gilbert Road to Val Vista Drive (the “Project”). In order to accommodate construction of the Project, SRP’s electrical facilities on the south side of Chandler Heights Road, beginning approximately 350 feet west of 148th Street and extending to approximately 200 feet west of Val Vista Drive, must be relocated and converted to underground facilities. SRP requires a new power distribution easement (the "Easement") to replace its existing easement rights.

The Easement will be granted to SRP at no cost. Staff has reviewed and approved the Easement and legal description.

Discussion:

This ordinance was introduced and tentatively adopted by City Council on September 12, 2024.
