Littrell, Director, Division of Engineering, advised that Indiana Michigan Power Company requests that the City grant them Easements to construct and install an underground power feed to serve the addition to the South Bend Clinic now under construction. If granted, the power cable would be placed in the tree lawn along LaSalle Avenue and Frances Street on the Clinic's north and west boundaries. Indiana Michigan Power prefers an Easement rather than the usual right-of-way agreement to avoid the liability for the expense of relocating the cable should it become necessary to do so for any future public improvements. A letter from the operators of the South Bend Clinic, Medical Arts Corporation of South Bend, was submitted stating that they are willing to bind themselves to an Agreement with the City to pay for such relocation if and when it becomes necessary. Mr. Littrell asked the Board to agree to this request in principle at the earliest time so that service to the Clinic can proceed. The formal Easement and Agreement documents will be prepared for execution in a timely fashion thereafter.
