Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve Agreement to Assign Recreational Access Agreement for Access to Whetstone Mountains/National Forest from the County to the Arizona Game and Fish Commission.
Background:
El Dorado Benson LLC previously granted the County a perpetual non-exclusive recreational access easement for the purpose of providing public access to the National Forest in the Whetstone Mountains. This grant of easement was formalized in a written agreement, signed by the County and El Dorado on February 27, 2018. At the time, it was contemplated that ultimately the County would assign the easement to the Arizona Game and Fish Commission since it will be responsible for building and maintaining the access road on the easement. The Agreement to Assign being presented in this agenda item will finalize that assignment.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Have El Dorado and Game and Fish sign the Agreement and record it.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
The County will retain the access easement, Game and Fish will not receive it, and the road will not get built unless the County chose to pay for building and maintaining the road.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Have the Chair sign the Agreement, send it to El Dorado and Game and Fish for signatures.
