County authorizes right-of-way acquisition for Red Jacket Trail repairs
Summary
The board adopted a resolution authorizing temporary and permanent right-of-way acquisition for Red Jacket Trail repairs to allow culvert replacements and staging; staff said landowners had been consulted and eminent domain is not anticipated.
Blue Earth County Public Works asked the board to authorize temporary and permanent right-of-way acquisitions needed for repairs to the Red Jacket Trail, including culvert replacement work and limited staging areas. Staff said the most-impacted landowners had been consulted and expressed support, and that while the resolution contains the typical eminent-domain language granting acquisition authority, staff did not expect condemnation would be necessary.
A commissioner moved and the board approved the resolution by voice vote. Commissioners commented that neighbors were supportive of the project and that the authority will allow the county to proceed to bid and complete repairs, with staff continuing outreach to affected property owners.
