2.ACHD occasionally demands that Idaho Power or other utilities relocate their
facilities on public rights of way as a result of public road improvement projects. It does so
under the common law rule that a utility must relocate its facilities on public rights-of-way at the
demand of a Public Road Agency.
3.I am not aware of circumstances where private parties directly request that Idaho
Power relocate facilities located within the public rights-of-way within the jurisdiction of
ACHD.
4.I do not know whether a private party can request a utility relocation within a
public right-of-way, nor do I know how Idaho Power would respond to such a request.
5.I am not aware of any authority by which a private party could require that Idaho
Power relocate facilities located in public rights of way.
6.If a private party were to directly request a utility relocation within a public right-
of-way, and if Idaho Power were to accept that request, ACHD would have minimal
involvement. ACHD's only role would be to ensure that the relocation is in compliance with
ACHD Ordinance 5, ACHD Ordinance 207, and ACHD Code Section 6007, setting forth
ACHD's standards that govern the location and permitting of utility facilities within the public
right-of-way as set forth in Idaho Code §§ 40-210 and 40-1310(8).
Further your affiant sayeth naught.
