Title
Resolution Granting an Easement for Overhead Right of Way at the Ann Arbor Wastewater Treatment Plant to Detroit Edison Company (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
There is a resolution before you to grant an easement for Overhead Right of Way at the Ann Arbor Wastewater Treatment Plant to the Detroit Edison Company (DTE), a Michigan corporation, for the construction and maintenance of overhead electrical lines.
On September 20, 2007, Council approved an agreement with DTE to relocate high voltage power lines at the Wastewater Treatment Plant in connection with the renovations at a portion of the plant;
DTE has relocated those power lines, which necessitate an amended grant of easement over the new locations to allow them to continue to maintain those electrical lines;
The DTE drawing describing the amended grant of easement has been reviewed and approved by the Wastewater Treatment Services Unit as conforming to the location of all electrical lines currently existing at the plant.
This easement will encompass all DTE electrical lines at the plant, including the additional relocation and installation work done, and will replace and supersede prior grants of easement to Detroit Edison, for the purpose of standardizing the terms and conditions of the easement.
There is no cost involved to the City.
Acceptance of the easement is recommended.
