BACKGROUND:
During phase 1 of the WWTP project new facilities will be constructed on available locations of
the treatment plant grounds. Electric service will be required for the new infrastructure, Oncor is

determined the location to be appropriate for operations of the wastewater treatment plant. The
Oncor fee for relocation/removal of the power lines and poles is $115,064.16, but no billing for
the work will occur at this time is. Oncor will distribute their fee, over time, through monthly
billings, once the new service is established. The easement and right of way document, Oncor
Discretionary Service Agreement and survey information are attached to this memorandum.
BUDGET:
No budget is required for authorization of the easement.
OPTIONS:
1. Authorize the Mayor to sign the Easement and Right of Way Document and the Oncor
Discretionary Service Agreement.
2. Deny the Mayor from signing the Easement and Right of Way Document and the Oncor
Discretionary Service Agreement.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Authorize the Mayor to sign the Easement and Right of Way Document and the Oncor
Discretionary Service Agreement.
