Re: Bangor Hydra Easement - Council Order Ranter 95-11
Dt: November 14, 1994
The above -referenced Council Order is on today's Council agenda
under New Business. The Order authorizes the City Manager to execute
an easement agreement with the Bangor Hydro Electric Company which
will provide for upgrading the power distribution system along
portions of Maine Avenue and Florida Avenue. This work is necessary
to provide electrical service for the new General Electric expansion
project on Florida Avenue. The existing system in this area was part
of the old military installation and is in very poor condition. It
is presently owned by the City, and it is our maintenance
responsibility. This Council Order also authorises the release of
this system to the Hydro which will facilitate the necessary
upgrading and will release us of our maintenance responsibilities.
When I prepared the Council order, Bangor Hydro Electric
Company was in the process of drafting the easement agreement. We
did not receive this until last Thursday, which has not allowed our
Legal Oepartment adequate time to fully review the document. A very
quick review by both the Engineering and Legal Departments indicates
there may need to be some minor changes. Ordinarily I would simply
request that this Council Order be postponed until the next meeting
in order to allow time for the complete r However, it is my
understanding that time is very critical Budea two-week postponement
may cause some difficulty for the GE project. Because of this, i
would request that the Council amend Council Order 95-16 by the
addition of the following ease, sentence, which would be added before
the last sentence of the last paragraph:
"The agreements shall be subject to the approval of the
City Solicitor".
I will be available at the Council meeting to answer any
further questions Councilors may have on this matter.
