After receipt of this request the Department of Public Service, Division of Infrastructure Management, verified with all the public and private utility companies that there are no public utilities or need for these easements, located within the requested area and that they have no objections to these portions of the easements being released.

The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 7748, project P537650, for releasing of the easement so the property can clear title.
