The City Council cases related to this matter include all applicable details regarding the City's rights and responsibilities, as well as your rights and responsibilities. Please understand the City has spent a significant amount of time addressing your petition and all costs for this time will be paid from the bond funds you submitted. As such, the City must retain your bond funds until the cartway process is complete. »»> > > > > > At this time, I anticipate providing copies of the draft easement agreements for your review next week.
