Agenda Item
iv. Easement Request ~ Georgia Power Company ~ Improvement of Distribution Lines at the Toney Elementary School 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 grant of an easement at the Toney Elementary site to the Georgia Power Company for upgrades to electric distribution facilities and to secure distribution and communication lines which service those sites and the surrounding area.
Why: Granting of the easement supports improved electric service reliability to the Toney Elementary School Site (“the Site”) and other DeKalb County residences.
Details: The property site is 2701 Oakland Terrace, Decatur, GA 30032 - Toney Elementary School. The area of the requested easement is defined as any portion of the Site located within fifteen (15) feet of the centerline of the overhead distribution line (s) as shown on “Exhibit A”. The purpose of the easement is to allow the Georgia Power Company to install and maintain electrical and communication lines, poles, and equipment on the Site. Georgia Power will maintain, repair and rebuild all equipment, including wires, transformers, and cables to strengthen the service to the Toney Elementary School off Oakland Terrace Drive. Overhead lines in various 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 financial impact of the easement will be $10.00 paid by Georgia Power Company to the District.
