CityCouncil | 2017-05-02 | 8 | Mayor Spencer inquired whether the easements are all on public property. The AMP Interim Engineering Manager responded it depends on the district; stated some easements for above ground transformers or equipment could be on private property. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the transformer is a green box, the AMP Interim Engineering Manager responded in the affirmative. Mayor Spencer inquired whether there is a list of where the boxes will be placed. The AMP Interim Engineering Manager responded the location of the transformers is unknown until the detailed design is completed. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the transformers will require solar boxes or if they will have power through AMP; and when the public will see the proposed locations of the transformer boxes so that there are not any surprises. The AMP Interim Engineering Manager responded more detailed planning will be done before the item is presented to the public. Mayor Spencer stated that she wants the public to know the proposal and have sufficient time to respond if the transformer location is not a good fit. The AMP Interim Engineering Manager stated every customer that is impacted will receive a survey in advance to ask questions on whether or not they support the program; all the community feedback collected will be presented to Council to allow for an informed decision. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the impacted community members will receive the data in enough time to respond or ask questions and provide feedback; stated that she would like the transformers to be as small as possible and as few as possible; there should be no solar trees if they are not needed in order to minimize the impact to community members. The AMP Interim Engineering Manager responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired who is responsible for determining the locations of the transformers. The City Manager responded the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) determines the locations. The AMP Interim Engineering Manager stated AMP will complete the detailed design and locations; easements will be obtained for private property locations.
