MOTION
Upon recommendation and opinion of William M. Wolfson, Chief Administrative and Compliance Officer/Interim General Counsel, the Board of Directors for the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA): (1) approves an Easement Agreement between GLWA and the Charter Township of Shelby, the property owner of Shelby Township Parkland East Side of Dequindre Road, Shelby Township, Michigan 48317 (Part of Tax Parcel No. 23-07-19-100-013), including the execution of an Easement Agreement; and (2) authorizes the Chief Executive Officer to take such other action as may be necessary to accomplish the intent of this vote.
