SUMMARY STATEMENT:
As part of the relocation of overhead utilities on Park Street (between 3rd and 4th Streets) to underground, Idaho Power (IP) installed a new 3-phase transformer at Public Works (just
west of the office/shop building) to serve Public Works existing and future power needs. Across Samson Trail, May Development, LLC has gone through the entitlement process (i.e. City
Administrative Approval) to construct an electric vehicle (EV) charging station (see attached site plan). The EV charging station requires 3-phase power and the IP’s transformer (located
on PW property) provides the nearest location to serve the charging station.
This agenda bill presents the Idaho Power easement required to allow Idaho Power to install underground conduit and wires from their transformer and across the west side of the City’s
public works property and into City’s Samson Trail right-of-way (ROW) so they can serve the new charging station with 3-phase power. Given the small size of the easement, and the fact
that IP already has their 3-phase transformer within the property, granting the underground utilities easement does not impact the City’s current use of this portion of the property
or any future planned use in the future (since relocating the transformer would also need to occur).
This easement agreement has been reviewed by legal counsel and is ready for Council approval.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the Easement to Idaho Power for underground utilities within the City’s Public Works property and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
