ii. Granting of Easement for Improvement of Distribution Lines at New Elementary School at Dresden Site
Summary: Presented by: Mr. Erick Hofstetter, Chief Operating Officer, Division of Operations
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education approve an easement to Georgia Power to allow for an upgrade to electric distribution facilities to improve electric service reliability to the New Elementary School at Dresden.
Why: To allow Georgia Power to improve service to the New Elementary School at Dresden site in an effort to upgrade all equipment needed to provide better service.
Details: This project's purpose is to install and maintain electrical and communication lines and facilities to existing and future structures. Georgia Power requests permission to maintain, repair and rebuild on all equipment including wires, transformers, service pedestals, and cables to strengthen the service to the New Elementary School at Dresden site. Overhead lines in certain areas may be more prone to outages caused by trees contacting lines or vehicular collisions. Removing any trees and other obstructions to the lines and equipment will help in providing the area with quality service.
Financial impact: As this easement will directly benefit Dekalb County School District, the financial impact of this easement will be $1000.00 paid by Georgia Power to the DCSD.
