PROPOSED MOTION

“The City Council adopts a Resolution authorizing an Exchange Agreement with the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District for a land parcel swap in connection with the Highway (CSAH) 101 Improvement Project.”

 

Approval requires a 2/3 Vote.

SUMMARY

Due to the right-of-way acquisition for the Highway 101 Project, excess City owned land exists that is not needed for the project.  Adjacent to the City owned land is a parcel of land owned by the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District (RPBCWD) that is needed for the highway project.  Both parties mutually agree to the exchange and conveyance of the property.  The RPBCWD approved the land swap at their March 4, 2020 Board meeting.

 

The respective attorneys and engineering staff have reviewed the exchange agreement and are in agreement to its language and form.

 

A right-of-entry agreement was approved at the February 24, 2020 City Council meeting for the purposes of allowing construction to commence while this agreement was getting finalized.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends adoption of this Resolution.
