The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary to release the portion of easement as described above and in the attached exhibit to allow the area to clear title for this site.

2. Fiscal Impact
The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 7748, Project P537650, for granting the request to release the easement.
