The board accepted donation agreements and easements from Evonik Degussa Corporation to secure temporary rights-of-way and warranty deeds totaling about 1.107 acres to enable construction of Bridges 64 and 65; the county approved the package in a single motion.

County staff explained two donation agreements from Evonik Degussa Corporation that provide warranty deeds for parcels totaling about 1.107 acres and temporary grants needed for construction and widening related to Bridges 64 and 65. The staff member said the temporary rights had expired and needed renewal to allow construction to proceed.

When asked whether the board wanted to approve the easements, a commissioner noted, "if you want them, they're free." The board voted to approve the donation agreements, the temporary easement grants, and the warranty deeds in one motion.

Staff said the agreements and easements are intended to allow the bridge to be built in stages and to secure additional right-of-way required for widening.
