COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: APPROVAL TO PROCEED WITH CONDEMNATION FOR WELL ACCESS
BACKGROUND:
Design for the construction of City Well No. 8A at 1002 Sixth Street is under way with plans to
begin construction this summer. In order to construct the well,right-of-way easements are required
from two property owners. It is anticipated that the utility construction easement will be accepted
by the Ames Community School District at its March 5 board meeting.
Staff have been unable to negotiate an ingress/egress access easement at 1100 Sixth Street for
access to the proposed well site. The owner has raised several issues which are unrelated to the
city's access to the well site. In addition to the amount for the access easement,staff have agreed
to divert surface drainage resulting from the bike path adjacent to Sixth Street away from the
property owner's drive and property`The property owner has refused our easement offer and has
asked that we pave the driveway to his property as well as assume liability for visitors to his
property.
In order to bring this replacement well in service in a timely manner, it is essential that we obtain
access immediately so that bids can be authorized and a contract for construction awarded yet this
spring. Further negotiations do not appear likely to result in an easement in a reasonable period
of time;and,therefore,staff request that Council authorize acquisition of the easement through the
eminent domain process.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Authorize staff to proceed with condemnation of the access easement at 1100 Sixth Street
for access to the proposed well location.
2. Do not approve condemnation at this time.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1.
