Explanation
The Transportation Division is engaged in a project that will upgrade the intersection of Agler Road and Cassady Avenue. The proposed upgrades include installation of sidewalks, curb ramps and signal poles. The City Attorney's Office has been acquiring additional right-of-way to accommodate the proposed upgrades. Ordinance 1152-2005 passed by City Council July 25, 2005 established initial funding in the amount of $15,000.00 for acquisition-related activities. The City Attorney's Real Estate Division staff recently notified the Transportation Division that an additional $3,500.00 will be required to complete acquisition of the right-of-way needed for this project. This legislation authorizes the City Attorney to expend an additional $3,500.00, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to complete acquisition of fee simple title and lesser interests in and to property needed for this intersection improvement project.
Fiscal Impact: Additional acquisition-related expenses are currently estimated to be $3,500.00 for this project. Monies to pay for these costs are available in the Transportation Division's General Permanent Improvement Fund. This ordinance appropriates these funds as necessary and authorizes their expenditure.
Emergency action is requested to allow acquisition-related activities to be completed without delay to allow construction of the proposed improvements to commence in 2006.
