Meadowbrook tower progress; power easement signing set as county prepares cutover

Committee members received an update on the county radio-tower program and the Meadowbrook site. Officials said they and the utility had identified the preferred route to supply power to the tower and expect to complete work and bring the site online by year-end.

"Anticipating finishing that one to get this all online by the end of the year," a committee member reported. The chair added that staff and the clerk planned to meet with the power company on Friday afternoon to sign the easement needed to run power up the land.

Staff described plans to test systems and do a coordinated switch-over; the committee discussed scheduling a single cutover once testing is complete. Members asked for Gencom to appear at the October meeting for an update if the company is available; staff said they would reach out and otherwise provide a written update.
