Park County commissioners voted 3-0 on Aug. 6 to approve a nonexclusive public utility easement permitting Core Electric Cooperative to run an overhead electric line across county property to serve the Bailey Water and Sanitation District.

County staff told the board the easement covers an overhead pass of an electric line to support upgrades to the district’s water system. Commissioners and staff discussed the quality of the submitted survey map; one commissioner said the map “was extremely deficient” and noted the county manager and public-works staff had reviewed the location before the motion.

The board’s action formalizes county consent for the utility crossing; the commissioners did not attach additional conditions when they voted to approve the agreement. The motion carried 3-0.

The easement was presented during the board’s regular meeting and followed staff review with the county manager and the county public-works representative. The county did not read any separate legal restrictions or time limits onto the record at the time of the vote.

The county clerk’s office and county manager will complete the final execution and recording steps for the easement package.
