Council approves easement for West Smith waterline; emergency clause invoked to expedite recording
Summary
Council authorized an easement for the West Smith Waterline Project, including approval of an emergency clause because the property owner had previously signed the offer. City Engineer Patton said the easement is necessary for the waterline work that will cross railroad tracks.
The Medina City Council approved Ordinance 175‑25 authorizing the mayor to accept an agreement and easement for the West Smith Waterline Project. City Engineer Patton explained the project requires acquiring a number of easements to install a waterline where it crosses railroad tracks.
Patton told council the property owner had already signed the offer, and staff requested the emergency clause in order to finalize and record the easement promptly. The council adopted the emergency clause and the ordinance by a 6‑0 vote.
Councilmembers recorded no objections on the record. The ordinance authorizes execution of the agreement; any construction work will proceed after standard permitting and contractor approvals.
