Executive Summary

Enter into agreements with the Metropolitan Airports Commission to purchase Permanent and Temporary easements required to construct the improvements for 99^th Avenue and Baltimore Street roundabout.

Background

The City of Blaine received a Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program grant in the amount of $1,530,000 to design and construct a roundabout at the intersection of 99^th Avenue and Baltimore Street.  During the design process additional permanent and temporary easements were identified that will need to be acquired by the city for the improvements to be constructed.  The city has hired a consultant to aid in the process to acquire the required easements which include obtaining an appraisal, providing the appraisal to the property owner, and engaging in good faith negotiations to acquire the easements.  Based on property appraisals offers have been made and placed into the attached agreements with the Metropolitan Airports Commission.   

By approving the attached resolution, the City Council is authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to sign the agreements and authorize the purchase of a Permanent Easement in the amount of $42,200 and a Temporary Easement in the amount of $2,000.  Engineering Staff is recommending adoption of the attached resolution.
