Body
CITY PROPOSAL:
RESOLVED, that the proper city officials are hereby authorized to accept the conveyance of an easement for public roadway and utility purposes from the state of Minnesota, a sovereign entity, acting by and through its department of administration, at no cost to the city, and enter into an easement agreement substantially in the form attached hereto, subject to the conditions thereof.
Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: The purpose of this resolution is to accept the donation of an easement from the state of Minnesota to facilitate reconditioning and reconstruction of an existing road known as Ridgeview Road.
The road will provide a secondary access road to the Minnesota Air National Guard (“MnANG”) base in Duluth. The city will receive a combination of funds provided by the MnANG and federal highway administration funds. The project funds will provide for reconditioning and reconstruction of this roadway to a surface capable of carrying higher volumes of traffic. In order to be able to use the federal funds, the roadway must be on a “public right-of-way.”
