Costs, Movement of Poles from Corner of S Rangeline and Third St SW Mr. Frank Fleming came before the Board stating every call south from the fire department goes south on Rangeline off of Third St. Due to a light pole, hydrant and underground cable at this corner, the fire trucks have to go over the yellow line almost to the curb in negotiating this turn. This could be the possible cause of an accident. Mr. Welch stated this situation should be dealt with as soon as possible. Public Service gave a figure of $5,407 to relocate the pole across the street. The figure is high because of the complexity of moving the things that are using the existing wires. The hydrant could be moved by the City. Comparison of the expense of wrecking a fire truck versus the expense of knocking down the 09/20/83 Page 3 pole was discussed. Mr. Walker made a motion that the City negotiate with Public Service,and the City to proceed with making arrangements for moving the hydrant and take all information to the City Council for approval immediately.
