ACTION REQUEST
Consider approval of a Road Easement Agreement with the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) granting them a non-exclusive Road Easement upon, over and through property owned by the City of Texas as further described in Exhibit A, and Exhibit B and Area Overview attached hereto.
BACKGROUND (Brief Summary)
The USACE performs regular maintenance of the Port of Texas City Channel for the purpose of maintaining and improving navigability throughout the Channel. The proposed non-exclusive agreement would allow USACE the right of ingress to and egress from the Easement over the City's land so long as USACE does not unreasonably interfere with the City's operations. The term of the agreement is for twenty-five (25) years and would enable them to carry out their maintenance responsibilities on the Texas City Channel.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Road Easement Agreement.
