title

Request for approval to execute a Service Outlet Location Statement for installation of an electric meter with CenterPoint Energy and to authorize the County Auditor to pay monthly bills for 23610 ½ Clay Rd, Katy, TX 77493 (intersection of Clay Rd at Ventana Prairie Dr) for electrical power serving a traffic signal, Precinct 4.

Background and Discussion:

Constructing a traffic signal at Clay Rd at Ventana Prairie Dr is to enhance the public safety and operation of the existing intersection. The service outlet location statement is needed to establish electrical service from CenterPoint Energy to power the traffic signal.

 

Expected Impact:

Approval of the service outlet location statement will allow CenterPoint Energy to provide electrical service to the traffic signal, which is needed to enhance the public safety and operation of the intersection of Clay Rd at Ventana Prairie Dr.

 

Alternative Options:

All Traffic Signals require a power source, which is typically obtained through CenterPoint Energy. Alternative options are to place a generator, which is not reliable, or not install the traffic signal from the intersection. Both options pose a public safety concern and will impact the operation and increase delay of the intersection.
