Board approves easement with New York State Electric & Gas to improve service on Stan Hill Road

The Tioga County development board approved a resolution authorizing the agency to execute an easement with New York State Electric & Gas Corporation to install a utility pole and associated facilities on property located at Stan Hill Road in the town (referenced as Tax Map number 138). The resolution was presented to the board as new business and members approved it by voice vote.

The resolution text explained the easement’s purpose as improving electrical service and reliability in the area and identified the property reference number. A presenter noted the resolution was not in the packet but had been circulated earlier in the day. After brief discussion and a motion to approve, members indicated assent with a voice vote of "All in favor say I."

The approval allows the agency to execute the easement agreement with New York State Electric & Gas Corporation (NYSEG) so the utility can perform the described pole and right-of-way work. The board did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript; the decision was taken by voice vote and no named vote counts were provided. The board did not elaborate conditions or amendments to the easement during the discussion.

Next steps discussed included routing the final easement documents to agency staff for execution and coordinating any site work with the utility and affected property owners. The board did not set a follow-up date for construction activity in the meeting record.
