Request/Subject

Grant of Easement to Salt River Project (SRP) for the Relocation of Electrical Transmission Lines

Background Information

In May 2013, Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center (CVRMC) notified the County of its intention to expand their facility in the Globe-Miami area to improve service to residents of the area. As part of the relocation, it was necessary to relocate existing SRP lines currently located in the expansion area. CVRMC approached the County about the possibility of locating the lines on County property adjacent to the boundary between Gila County property and CVRMC property.

Evaluation

Gila County representatives met on-site with representatives from SRP and CVRMC to identify an area that was acceptable to everyone involved. The area chosen for the lines are on both CVRMC and County property. The area falls in the floodplain of Russell Gulch and is an acceptable use of the floodplain. The location will not impact any future plans for the area.

Conclusion

By granting an easement to SRP for the relocation of the lines, it will allow CVRMC to move forward with their expansion plans to improve services to residents of the area.

Recommendation

The Public Works Division Director recommends that Gila County Board of Supervisors authorize the Chairman to sign a grant of easement to SRP.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to authorize a High Voltage Easement between Gila County and Salt River Project (SRP) whereby the County will grant an easement to SRP for the installation of electrical lines.
