RE: Easement Agreement with Roman Avant (7740 Woodward)
MOTION
Upon recommendation and opinion of Randal M. Brown, General Counsel, the Board of Directors (Board) for the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA):
(1) Approves a temporary construction easement agreement with Roman Avant across 7740 Woodward; and
(2) Authorizes the Chief Executive Officer to take such other action as may be necessary to accomplish the intent of this vote, including the execution of the Easement Agreement and related documents.
JUSTIFICATION
To rehabilitate the Woodward Sewer, GLWA needs land for staging equipment, materials and soil along the route of the Woodward Sewer. Working with GLWA’s consultant on this project, GLWA has identified properties that it needs access to adjacent to the Woodward Sewer. One property near the Sewer is owned by Roman Avant. GLWA negotiated a temporary construction easement with Mr. Avant. Mr. Avant is willing to grant a temporary easement to GLWA for $6,000.00. Additional easements are necessary to support the rehabilitation of the Sewer and will be presented to the Board as they are negotiated with the property owners.
BUDGET IMPACT
There are sufficient funds allocated for the easement agreement in the CIP.
COMMITTEE REVIEW
This matter was presented to the Legal Committee on September 28, 2022. The Legal Committee unanimously recommended that the GLWA Board adopt the resolution as presented.
