5. Resolution 2018-18 Condemnation Action for Well #6 Power Easement
Resolution condemning an easement in order to bring power to the City's well site #6
was presented to the Council.
Tom Holmes explained that he has been directed to get an easement for the city to have
utilities at the City's well site #6. Without agreement from the land owner for the
easement the City has to condemn to acquire the easement.
Darris has run 3 phase power in this development and would like the City to compensate
him for the three phase power he brought to the development. The City did not require
Darris to bring in 3 phase power. Darris did not approach the City about bringing in his 3
phase power. The City does not agree that it should compensate Darris for the 3 phase
power. Darris wants $45,000 for the easement to help compensate him for bringing the 3
phase power into the development.
Public Works Director Rodney Burch explained to the Council that the City has been
working with the developer for several years trying to find a solution to bring power to
the site. There has been no progress and the City now needs the power. The
condemnation is the most economical route for the City to provide power to the site.
This is also the best route for the power to go through Mr. Ellis' property and the impact
to his property. The easement is valued at $3,500. Once the City obtains the easement
they will still need to construct the power to the well.
Councilmembers asked Mr. Ellis if there was no acceptable compromise to his request
and Mr. Ellis stated there was not.
