Presentation:
PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
Easements are needed from Westfeeds, Inc. to construct the improvements for the Yegen Drain project. The project will mitigate current flooding issues by increasing the capacity of the existing drain by straightening the channel, cleaning out sediment deposits, and removing bushes and trees.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
City Council may:
- Approve the easements from Westfeeds, Inc. to the City or;
- Disapprove the easements. Without the easements, there will not be sufficient room to construct the improvements to the Yegen Drain and area flooding will continue to occur.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no cost to the City for the easement.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council approve the easements from Westfeeds, Inc.
