Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: The purpose of this ordinance is to dedicate utility easements across city-owned property near Denfeld High School. A community greenhouse project is to be constructed at this location. Upon review of the site plan it was determined that this would be a good opportunity to dedicate necessary utility easements. The city is also pursuing obtaining easements from ISD 709. Those easements will be separate agenda items in the future.
