Summary

Public Works presented signed easement and acquisition documents for the Sweet Birch storm‑sewer emergency repair and two Shadow Mountain project transactions; the board granted permission for the chairman to sign the closing documents.

Public Works asked the board to authorize the chairman to sign three documents completing property actions tied to recent infrastructure work.

Susan Eugenis, Public Works, described three closing items: a possession and use agreement and easement recording that closes out an emergency repair to the Sweet Birch storm sewer, the purchase of a site intended for a Shadow Mountain reservoir, and an easement allowing water conveyance from the lower reservoir to the new site. Staff said appraisals were completed and the property owner agreed to the recorded easement language.

The board indicated assent when staff requested the chairman’s signature for the three documents; no formal roll‑call vote was recorded on the audio transcript.

Staff framed this as a final administrative step to formalize repairs and the related easements.

The board did not take other public actions on the item at the meeting.
