Frederick approves right‑of‑way purchase for public works waterline; authorizes town manager to sign MOA
Summary
The board approved Resolution 26‑R‑20 to authorize a memorandum of agreement to acquire right‑of‑way for a new public works campus waterline at Silver Birch and Carbide, approving a $45,000 overall payment with $30,004.50 allocated to the right‑of‑way; board vote was 5–0.
The Town of Frederick Board of Trustees on April 22 approved a memorandum of agreement to acquire right‑of‑way for extension of a waterline needed for the town's new public works campus.
Keith Reester, the town’s public works and engineering director, presented the item and described the project footprint at the southwest corner of Carbide and Silver Birch. Reester said the work will extend water service primarily along the east side of Silver Birch, include a sanitary line to replace an on‑site septic tank, and provide sidewalk extension and driveway adjustments for the affected property owner.
Reester told the board, "the overall price we've agreed to is $45,000. There's $30,004.50 in there for the right away. The other balance there $14.05 5 is really related to the balance of activities that are gonna be necessary to complete the project for the parcel owner as well as our project." The transcript shows the line‑item amounts as presented by public works staff; the item documentation included a recommended purchase and property agreement.
Mayor Pro Tem Brown moved to approve Resolution 26‑R‑20 authorizing the town manager to sign the memorandum of agreement for the local agency acquisition/purchase of property; the motion was seconded and approved on a 5–0 voice vote.
The action authorizes staff to finalize the acquisition terms and begin construction work on the waterline consistent with the public works campus schedule. Reester said construction could begin in about a week, and staff will coordinate fence relocations, driveway work and the sanitary connection with the property owner.
