Eagle River Recreation Path II Project- Authorization to Acquire
Easements to"Construct Improvements
$urnmar . We are in the process of acquiring the easements required
for construction of the Eagle River Recreation Path II Project. It is possible that the
initiation of eminent domain proceedings may be required.in the acquisition process for
some of these properties. Oftentimes the initiation of this process is necessary to obtain
possession of the property for construction, even though the actual acquisition of the
property is completed through the negotiation process. Approval of Resolution No. 01-46
is recommended as one of the first steps necessary to begin the easement acquisition
process.
Recommendations: Approve Resolution No. 01-46, Series of 2001, A
Resolution Declaring the Eagle River Recreation Path II Project to be in Pursuance of a
Public Purpose, and Authorizing all Steps Necessary and Proper for Acquisition of all
Interests, Rights-of-Way, and/or Easements Needed to Construct Such Improvements.
