▶ 1:15:42 Leila Migliorelli: Um, next up is the petition for electric conduit location on northwest sidewalk of Angela Circle.

▶ 1:15:55 Speaker 11: This is a, a new construction in 52 Slayton Road, and it's a new house that previously was an overhead service and now they are trying to do it by underground. So we are just requesting for the small piece of the sidewalk that actually there's no, like literally sidewalk, but it's public road to install the conduits. And in the cable it's customer own cable and conduit. Secondary service, a small service as well.

▶ 1:16:27 Speaker 7: Okay. Any questions from the council?

▶ 1:16:34 Speaker 7: Councilor Vandiver.

▶ 1:16:35 Kimberly Vandiver: Thank you. Um, so my understanding is the underground service is more expensive than using the wires. So in that case, is this something that, I'm just curious how the finances work. Is that something that National Grid is happy to do, or is the customer paying for that?

▶ 1:16:49 Speaker 11: Is the customer paying for that? Because usually when it's an underground service and it's, uh, a service as a secondary 1 22 40 volts, uh, so it's customer owned cable and service. So we only connect them to the pole in that case.

▶ 1:17:06 Speaker 9: Okay. Thank you. You're welcome.

▶ 1:17:10 Speaker 7: Councilor Williams, do you have a

▶ 1:17:12 Ryan Williams: Question? Yeah, I do. Um, some of these are out there, man. I'm really testing my Melrose Geography knowledge. Um, so the Angela Circle petition is, oh yes, the co honor on the coroner where there's a new construction home being built. And is it going to go on the, is it in the public right of way? Is it under the street?

▶ 1:17:35 Speaker 11: So there is an existing pole over there. So from that pole, they're gonna be installing a, a steel riser, a sweep that goes over to the top of the pole in the cable will be connected on the top of the pole. So it will be directly from the pole through the property, toward the property. So it will be maybe less than six feet.

▶ 1:18:00 Ryan Williams: Um, and the, the pole itself is being installed on Slayton Road.

▶ 1:18:04 Speaker 11: The duck pole is in Angela Circle,

▶ 1:18:07 Ryan Williams: The duck pole. Okay. The duck pole's in Angela Circle. You're using that existing pole? Yes. Got it. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. You're welcome.

▶ 1:18:14 Speaker 7: Any other questions? Councillor

▶ 1:18:18 Speaker 2: Repe. I'll make a motion to recommend Second motion
