DISCUSSION RMGARDIN~ EAS~CS <br />Co~,unity Develolm~ent Director Anne Norris <br /> <br />CASE #5: <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />As you recall, at your last meeting you discussed the possibility of <br />utilizing existing easements owned by utilities for multiple purpose <br />recreational trails. The Commission requested additional information <br />regarding possible costs and liability of such easements. <br /> <br />According to the City Engineer, the cost of such easements could range <br />anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000 per acre, depending on the current use of <br />the property (i.e. whether the property is open agricultural land or is <br />residentially developed and currently used as someone's back yard). <br /> <br />The City Attorney reviewed the issue of liability on such easements and <br />determined that the liability on easements would be no different than the <br />City's liability for any other park land. <br /> <br />Recoam~ndation: <br /> <br />C~mmission Action: <br />Will be based on your discussion. <br /> <br />Administrator <br />Attorney <br />Engineer <br />Community Develounent Director <br /> <br />Chief of Police <br />Finance Officer <br />Public Works Superintendent <br />Other <br /> <br /> <br />
