All,
Just so that everyone is aware, we have been working with Oncor on this issue for quite some time (roughly two and a half years). Karen Eastman from Oncor has told us that the cost
is proprietary information and that they will not share it with us or UDR. The only thing she would give us is the lump sum cost. We even went as far as to estimate the cost and debate
the charges, but she has more or less stated that if we want the street lights to function this is the price. We have involved Randy Newsome in the past as well, but he has said it
is a new service matter and that he cannot help us. Welcome to the age of deregulation… Karen’s phone number is 817-355-7050.
Some of the issue is that the facilities were designed to serve future buildings as well as the street light system. If the system was designed to only serve the street lights, it would
be much smaller. The smaller system would have to be upgraded in the future at UDR’s expense, which did not make sense. For this reason, UDR elected to pay for the installation of
the electric.
This is a summary of a lot of discussions, so if you need more information just let me know.
Thanks,
Clay Barnett, P.E.

UDR may not care, but if we ask for the detail and receive it and then share that with UDR, I think that goes toward showing UDR that we are trying to protect each of the Town's and
UDR's interest. Also, this may come up again in the future and it may be the Town next time that is paying, and getting Oncor on board now with providing detail should help in any future
situations.

To Randy’s point since UDR is paying the cost, should we pursue the matter further or just go ahead and sign the agreement so that ONCOR can proceed with installing the utilities?
What do you think? Thanks,

Lea,
Since UDR is paying the statement, do you still want me to follow up with Oncor? If UDR is satisfied with paying the statement without much detail, should we be concerned?
If you want me to pursue getting the detail, I need to know who Clay has been speaking with.
Randy

Eric,
I cannot authorize the Town to spend $47k. I will need to go to council. I have requested that it be placed on the next council meeting.

Clay,
Per our meeting this morning, below and attached are the electric service items from Oncor Electric Delivery for the Vitruvian Park Phase 1B Infrastructure project.
We need to get these items processed so that electric service will be available when the street lighting, traffic signal and power items in the project are ready for power.
Eric Little is coordinating the payment and we are preparing the required easement for the UDR property.

Attached is a statement of charges for the additional cost above the allowable to provide service to streetlights along Brookhaven Club Dr. in conjunction with the Vitruvian Park development.
Please remit payment to Vickie Coe at the address listed on the invoice.
Also attached is a letter of agreement which I have addressed to Clay Barnett with the City of Addison. Please sign this document and return it to me at the address below. The letter
indicates to send it to Vickie along with the check, but since the check will be coming from UDR please send the letter of agreement back to me.
Additionally, Oncor will need to secure an easement for the temporary overhead line which will service the streetlights. Please provide the legal owner and the signature block information
so that I may go ahead and prepare this document. Oncor will require an exhibit of the overhead facilities. Upon receipt of the check, the letter of agreement and the easement, Oncor
can release the project to construction. As requested in the meeting yesterday, the order of construction will be to install the temporary overhead line, remove the idle facilities
on site and install the single phase transformer on the south end of the first phase. We will follow with the installation of the other two transformers.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Thank You,
Karen Eastman
