This ordinance will provide an increase of $15,000.00 in funding that is necessary for the City Attorney to complete the acquisition of an easement that is required for the Division of Sewreage and Drainage's maintenance forces to access the Alum Creek Sanitary Trunk Sewer Storage facilities that are located southeast of the corner of East Main Street and Alum Creek Drive.
