I'm Pickram, I'm glad to be here to give
[0:01]
the quarterly update. Um
[0:04]
we'll start on Yandell West. Uh
[0:07]
had a lot of progress from the
[0:09]
right-of-way acquisition standpoint.
[0:11]
Title work, appraisals, all that's been
[0:13]
has been completed. There's been
[0:16]
interviews with landowners, that kind of
[0:17]
stuff. So, hopefully in the near future
[0:21]
we'll have
[0:22]
uh
[0:24]
right-of-way offers establishment of
[0:26]
just compensation to the board on about
[0:29]
half the parcels.
[0:30]
Um
[0:31]
then we'll just follow up with the rest
[0:33]
of them, but uh
[0:35]
coordinating with utilities, I'm just
[0:37]
I'm going to repeat what all the other
[0:39]
firms have said. Most of these
[0:40]
utilities, other than Entergy, are
[0:42]
waiting on us to buy the right-of-way
[0:44]
cuz they want to relocate their
[0:46]
facilities inside our right-of-way. Um
[0:48]
so, there'll be an extensive permitting
[0:50]
process. Make sure
[0:51]
there's room for everybody. Um
[0:54]
Entergy, once we're done, they'll start
[0:57]
approaching the same landowners that we
[0:58]
approached to get their easements for
[1:00]
their for their poles.
[1:02]
Um on Yandell East, uh we're working
[1:05]
with toward our office review. This uh
[1:08]
milestone is September the 25th.
[1:11]
We are starting our utility coordination
[1:13]
on that. On both projects, we've reached
[1:16]
out to all the affected utility um
[1:19]
owners and we have provided them copies
[1:21]
of plans. They've got uh
[1:23]
PDFs, they've got if they've requested
[1:25]
CAD files, we've given them all the
[1:27]
information they requested. So, um
[1:30]
they're they're queued up, ready to go
[1:31]
once once they
[1:33]
uh the right-of-way is acquired and they
[1:35]
can get started. Um acquisition plats
[1:38]
and deeds on the E segment is uh
[1:41]
substantially complete. If you remember
[1:43]
at the last meeting, I kind of let you
[1:45]
know that what we discovered on the E
[1:46]
segment is that there's large portions
[1:49]
of Yandell East where
[1:50]
there was no dedicated right-of-way to
[1:52]
the county. The
[1:53]
uh the descriptions, the legal
[1:55]
descriptions, went to the center of the
[1:57]
road.
[1:58]
I met with Tim and Mr. Ashby.
[2:00]
Uh mapped out a plan how to address that
[2:02]
on all the property owners. Uh going
[2:04]
through our title work now. Once Once we
[2:07]
get all of that finalized at Mr. Ashby's
[2:10]
recommendation, we'll have a uh I guess
[2:12]
a minor public meeting with all the just
[2:15]
the landowners to kind of explain to
[2:17]
everybody at one time how we're going to
[2:19]
address the situation with
[2:22]
with it not being a dedicated
[2:23]
right-of-way on on that segment.
[2:26]
So, work plan for the next period, well,
[2:28]
I said we're going we have office review
[2:30]
submittal on uh September 25th. Uh both
[2:33]
pro- both projects are moving forward.
[2:35]
Um
[2:36]
uh pretty soon it's going to stop being
[2:38]
a design project and be a right-of-way
[2:40]
and a utility relocation project on both
[2:43]
of them.
[2:44]
» Do you understand me?
[2:46]
» Um
[2:46]
» Great.
[2:47]
» You say you have met or have talked with
[2:49]
the utility companies?
[2:51]
» We have talked with them.
[2:52]
And we have we have not had anything out
[2:54]
in the field just yet, but uh we have
[2:56]
talked with extensively with each one of
[2:57]
them, asked them what they needed,
[2:59]
shared our plans with them.
[3:01]
All of them have our plans. So, they
[3:03]
know they would know what they have.
[3:05]
» Yeah, and and again, I'll find out later
[3:09]
on, but I know when Neil Shafer was here
[3:13]
Now, it might have been Wagner.
[3:15]
Might have been uh one of them said with
[3:17]
uh Energy, they want to
[3:19]
purchase their own property.
[3:21]
» Mhm.
[3:21]
» And that's that's a little different.
[3:23]
» Yeah.
[3:23]
» I'm not totally sure what that's about.
[3:26]
» They put their poles on private
[3:28]
easements cuz they have to get clearing
[3:30]
easements anyway.
[3:32]
So, they they want 10-ft 20-ft on each
[3:34]
side of their lines so they have
[3:35]
permission to get in there and to clear.
[3:37]
So, by the time you put it on the public
[3:39]
right-of-way, you're still having to get
[3:40]
an easement to clear on private
[3:43]
property. So, we just decided to just go
[3:45]
ahead and get an easement. They're not
[3:47]
buying the property, they're just
[3:48]
getting a a easement to put the pole and
[3:51]
» Permission to clear.
[3:52]
» Yeah,
[3:52]
» Need to follow up cuz if we already have
[3:54]
these, but
[3:55]
uh of course I'll I'll talk with Neil
[3:57]
Shafer with this. I think it was Neil
[3:59]
Shafer.
[4:00]
Um with Keith uh just to see, you know,
[4:03]
what else is going on there because if
[4:05]
we've already bought the right-of-way
[4:07]
» Right.
[4:07]
» Or the easement,
[4:09]
you know, we'd like they just locate on
[4:11]
that.
[4:12]
On that easement right-of-way, but I'm
[4:13]
sure there's something special there.
[4:16]
» Um
[4:18]
rarely do they put on put their poles on
[4:20]
public right-of-way.
[4:21]
» Right.
[4:22]
» Yeah, so I can see that. So.
[4:24]
Okay.
[4:25]
Any questions?
[4:27]
All right, thank you, Rick. Thank you.
