Background Information:
This resolution authorizes the conveyance of easements on City property to the Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC), Inc. in exchange for a redundant power feed to the Airport.
The Airport is served by PEC with a one way feed from the west side of Airport Drive. After a series of power outages, City staff approached PEC and requested a redundant power feed due to the critical nature of the services provided by the Airport. PEC indicated they can provide a backup feed from the east side of Airport drive, at no cost to the City, if the City donates an electrical easement. This resolution approves the donation of the easement to PEC.
