Council authorizes administrative settlements tied to Issaquah Falls City Road project
Summary
The Sammamish City Council authorized the city manager to sign administrative settlements with two property interests for conservation easements related to the Issaquah Falls City Road project by voice vote.
The Sammamish City Council voted to authorize the city manager to sign administrative settlement agreements with the Craig R. Bell Trust (Douglas Ian Bell) and Deborah Lynn Hiller concerning conservation easements tied to the Issaquah Falls City Road project.
Councilmember Pam Stewart read the motion on the record authorizing the city manager to sign the administrative settlements in the amounts recommended by the city’s right-of-way agent and staff. The motion was seconded and adopted by voice vote; the transcript records an "ayes" outcome.
Why it matters: The settlements resolve property-rights issues necessary for the Issaquah Falls City Road project to proceed. Staff presented the motion after the council returned from an earlier executive session; the settlement authority lets the manager finalize the recommended compensation and conveyances as set out by right-of-way staff.
Next steps: The city manager will execute the settlements consistent with the authority granted by council.
