Council authorizes settlement authority for communications-tower easement; condemnation option retained
Summary
Council approved staff recommendation to offer $96,724 in administrative settlement negotiations for an easement needed for a public-safety communications tower at 3489 Halsdale Pike and, if necessary, pursue condemnation. Funding would come from the communications tower allocation in the capital-improvement program.
City staff told the Murfreesboro City Council on July 10 that the city needs to acquire easements for a public-safety communications-tower enhancement at 3489 Halsdale Pike and requested authority to negotiate an administrative settlement. Staff said a formal offer of $96,724 has been prepared and recommended approval to allow staff to settle administratively; if a settlement cannot be reached, staff requested permission to seek condemnation in court.
Staff said funding would come from the communications-tower allocation in the city’s capital-improvement program. After a motion and roll-call vote, council approved the staff request to proceed with settlement authority, with the option to pursue condemnation if negotiations fail.
No additional details about the property owner, parcel identification or easement extent were discussed in the workshop presentation.
