RE: Purchase of 678, 682, 686 Conner and 681 Navahoe, Detroit, MI
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 the purchase of 678, 682, 686 Conner and 681 Navahoe, Detroit, MI from Miles Parish; and

JUSTIFICATION
To provide the ability to safely and reliably isolate the Freud Pump Station wet well, and pump dry weather sanitary sewage to the WRRF, GLWA needs to construct an access shaft and sanitary pump station east of the Freud Sewage Pumping Station. Working with Arcadis, GLWA's consultant on this project, GLWA has identified properties that it needs to acquire adjacent to the Ashland and Fox Creek interceptors. Four properties adjacent to the interceptors and near the Freud Sewage Pumping Station are owned by Miles Parish. GLWA inquired to purchase the properties. Mr. Parish is willing to sell the properties to GLWA for $64,375.00 plus closing costs. 678 Conner is an occupied home, the remaining parcels are vacant land. Additional land acquisitions are necessary to support the construction of the access shaft.
BUDGET IMPACT
There are sufficient funds allocated for the access shaft construction in the CIP to acquire the land.
