construction of the Raw Well Water Transmission Pipeline Project, and the City has entered into
engineering services agreements with FOX Engineering, Inc., for both Phase I and Phase II; and,
WHEREAS, in accordance with state law,the Council confirmed its intent to proceed with
the project and acquire the necessary easements on March 25, 2008, and staff has used appraisals
conducted on parcels in which easements are needed as the basis for initial offers to the property
owners in obtaining those easements; and,
WHEREAS,agreements have now been reached with all affected property owners for a total
of seven permanent and temporary construction easements.
