<br />Existing overhead transmission lines existing through the present alley and
<br />the North one-half of Block Three (3), Original Town of Hastings, shall also
<br />be placed underground.
<br />
<br />Section 3. Inasmuch as such undergrounding requires a large out-
<br />lay of capital, it is reasonable that the Company receive at least partial
<br />contribution for its expenses from the benefited customers; and inasmuch as
<br />the customers must convert or adapt their electrical facilities to receive
<br />the new underground service, it is necessary to require them to provide, at
<br />their own expense, such new facilities before the overhead service is re-
<br />moved. It is hereby declared that the policy of the Company as established
<br />in its General Extensions Rules - Underground, Downtown Urban Renewal, is
<br />a fair and reasonable policy and shall be observed by customers of the Company.
<br />Before the Company begins construction of any sector of the underground work,
<br />the City will by letter inform the customers that, at the request of the City,
<br />the overhead electric facilities serving their building will be removed;
<br />that if they desire to continue receiving electric service after that date
<br />they must execute Company Form No. 0350-15 when contacted by the Company and,
<br />at their own expense, engage an electrician to convert or adapt their elect-
<br />rical facilities to accept services from the underground service which will
<br />be installed. The above mentioned Company Extension Rules and Form shall
<br />be on file with the City Clerk. This Ordinance will apply to amendments of
<br />said Extension Rules and Form when accepted for filing. The customers will
<br />provide the Company with such easements as are necessary for the Company to
<br />install underground distribution facilities on their property.
<br />

<br />
<br />Section 4. Inasmuch as such underground facilities cannot be
<br />easily relocated, the City shall designate and reserve a definite area within
<br />the public ways for the installation and location of the Company's under-
<br />ground facilities. Once the Company facilities have been installed in such
<br />designated and reserved areas, if the City requires the Company to remove
<br />or relocate such facilities for any reason, the City shall reimburse the
<br />Company for the cost of such removal or relocation. Such reimbursement shall
<br />not exceed the entire cost incurred by Company attributable to such removal
<br />or relocation after deducting therefrom any increase in value of the new
<br />facility and any salvage value derived from the old facility.
