Title
AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF LEE'S SUMMIT, MISSOURI AND SAINT LUKE'S HEALTH SYSTEM, INC.
Body
Issue/Request:
Saint Luke's operates a network communications facility in the Summit Technology Campus and a critical part of their network infrastructure is a fiber optic cable. Saint Luke's is requesting the use of a City controlled Utility Easement for their fiber optic cable.
Key Issues:
1) The Agreement is necessary when utilities solely for private use (such as Saint Luke's fiber) are placed in the Utility Easement (UE).
2) The Agreement does not give Saint Luke's sole rights to the UE. The UE can still be used by other entities or utility companies.
3) Saint Luke's is part of the One-Call system, which responds to locating underground facilities.
4) There is no cost to the City for this request.
Proposed City Council Motion:
FIRST MOTION: I move for a second reading of AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF LEE'S SUMMIT, MISSOURI AND SAINT LUKE'S HEALTH SYSTEM, INC.
SECOND MOTION: I move for adoption of AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF LEE'S SUMMIT, MISSOURI AND SAINT LUKE'S HEALTH SYSTEM, INC.
Background:
For several years the Saint Luke's fiber optic cable has been in a private easement on property owned by Townsend Summit, LLC. The recent development of Lot 7, 1st Plat of the Summit Innovation Center is causing the movement of the fiber cable, and despite several efforts, Townsend Summit, LLC, and Saint Luke's could not find a suitable location within Summit Innovation Center. Saint Luke's remaining options were to move into a City Utility Easement or the right-of-way, and Saint Luke's determined the City Utility Easement would suit their needs.
Impact/Analysis:
Saint Luke's will bear all costs associated with relocating their fiber.
Timeline:
Start: N/A___
