Board approves $8,096 utility easement payment to Lake County Parks for lift-station access
Summary
The board approved a utility easement to Lake County Parks and Recreation over two park parcels for access to a lift station; staff recommended paying $8,096 from wastewater funds to secure the easements.
The Board of Public Works and Safety on Wednesday approved a utility easement payment of $8,096 to Lake County Parks and Recreation to allow city utility access across two county park parcels for lift‑station work tied to a wastewater project.
Alex (staff member) described the easement as one element of the larger wastewater project and said the county had provided appraisals with a reduced acquisition amount because the city asked for an easement rather than a fee‑simple purchase. Alex recommended the clerk’s office pay $8,096 from wastewater funds to secure the two easements and said this would finalize the set of property interests the project needed.
Board members moved, seconded and approved the easement payment by voice vote; no opposing votes were recorded.
Alex told the board the two park parcels had been acquired by the county for a future bike trail and that this easement is the third property‑owner easement required for the project. The board approved the staff recommendation and directed the clerk’s office to effect payment from wastewater funds.
