TELECOMMUNICATIONS
RIGHT-OF-WAY RESOLUTION
Visser explained this
resolution is commonly known as the Metro Act. The state is
collecting a fee from telecommunication providers for using the
right-of-way and they are redistributing that money. We are required
to participate in this resolution in order to be eligible to collect a
portion of the funds.
Martin stated the money
that the state receives would be distributed based upon a formula.
They will be looking at the percentages the township has of all weighted
linear feet attributable to the usage of the right-of-ways within the
township. For every foot of cable in the township, it is weighted as
2. For every foot of cable underground, it is weighted as 3.
MOTION
MADE, MOTION SUPPORTED, MOTION CARRIED:
A motion was made by Marsilje and supported by VanRaalte to adopt
the resolution of the Metropolitan Extension Telecommunications
Right-Of-Way Oversight Act.
Steggerda
questioned if we get paid once a year.
Martin
responded yes, at the end of May.
Marsilje
questioned restrictions of where we spend these funds.
Martin
stated the money could only be spent on right-of-way improvements. |
