Explanation
The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, obtained a right-of-entry from Carl C. Cooke, Jr., and Macy M. Cooke in early 2003 to install traffic control equipment on their property at 8161 Sawmill Road. At the time the right-of-entry was acquired the City agreed that subsequent to the installation of the traffic control equipment a permanent easement would be acquired from Mr. and Mrs. Cooke. Installation of the traffic control equipment has been completed and it is now necessary for the City to acquire the permanent easement. This legislation authorizes the City Attorney's Office, Real Estate Division to hire professional services relative to the acquisition of the easement, to negotiate with the property owners to obtain the necessary easement and to expend the funds necessary to acquire this easement. The City Attorney's Office, Real Estate Division has estimated that acquisition-related expenses will total $6,000.00.

Fiscal Impact: Monies to pay for these costs are available in the Resurfacing project within the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund. This ordinance transfers money between projects within the Fund and authorizes their expenditure.

Emergency action is requested to allow the City Attorney's office to proceed with those actions necessary to enable the City to compensate Mr. and Mrs. Cooke for an existing City use of private property without further delay.
