Body
SUMMARY/KEY POINTS
• Town Council approval is required for land transactions on Town-owned properties.
• Approving the easement will allow Xcel Energy to schedule installation of the electrical lines and equipment, which is required to provide the electrical capacity the expanded Police Department building requires
• The current electrical service does not currently have enough electrical capacity to serve the expanded Police Department building.
BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Public Service Company of Colorado (Xcel Energy) is the electric provider for the Police Department property located in Boulder County. There currently is not enough electrical capacity to power the expanded Police Building. A new higher capacity electrical transformer and associated equipment and service lines need to be installed at a new location on the Erie PD property. Installation of the new transformer and service lines require an easement on this Town-owned property.
