Agenda Item
ii. Easement Request ~ Georgia Power Company - Improvement of Distribution Lines at the DeKalb Preparatory Academy Charter Site
Summary: Presented by: Mr. Erick Hofstetter, Chief Operating Officer, Division of Operations
Request: It is requested that the DeKalb County Board of Education (“the Board”) approve the grant of an easement to the Georgia Power Company for upgrades to electric distribution facilities.
Why: Granting of the easement supports improved electric service reliability to DeKalb Preparatory Academy Site (“the Site”) and other DeKalb County residences.
Details: The property site is 1402 Austin Drive, Decatur, GA 30032 - DCSD charter DeKalb Preparatory Academy. The area of the requested easement is defined as any portion of the property located within fifteen (15) feet of the centerline of the overhead distribution line(s) as installed in the approximate location shown on “Exhibit A”.
The purpose of this project is to install and maintain electrical and communication lines, poles, and equipment on the site. Georgia Power requests permission to maintain, repair and rebuild on all equipment including wires, transformers, and cables to strengthen the service to the DeKalb Preparatory Academy site off Austin Drive. 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 aid in providing the area with quality service.
Financial impact: The easement will directly benefit the DeKalb County School District. The financial impact of the easement will be $550.00 paid by Georgia Power Company to the District. Funds will be allocated to Charge Code 300.0000.4199.50.00271.9999.9990.8010.040.0000
