STAFF ANALYSIS
Mayor and Council of the city of Goodyear previously approved CIP #60062 Del Camino Lift Station project to improve the existing sewer lift station and secure access for a wastewater line easement.
The project impacts two parcels located in the project area. A depiction of the portion of the impacted parcels is attached as Exhibit C to Resolution No. 2026-2517 (Attachment A) and a depiction of the interests required for the Project are depicted in Exhibits “A” and “B” to Resolution No. 2026-2517. Engineering Staff and the design consultant have worked diligently to develop a cost-effective design that minimizes the impact to affected property owners, while achieving the goals of the project as described above. Based on current design plans, the City will acquire real property in fee interest and a wastewater line and facilities easement.
Project construction cannot commence until all the necessary real and personal property interests are acquired. The design plans have reached a stage that enables staff to clearly identify the required property interests to be acquired. Obtaining Council authorization allows staff to move forward with the acquisition of the necessary real and personal property rights from the impacted owners.
Accordingly, staff is recommending Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-2517 authorizing and directing staff to acquire, by dedication, donation, purchase, or the exercise of the power of eminent domain, the real and personal property interests needed for the completion of the project from the owners of the properties depicted on the exhibits.
