ATTORNEYS REPORT-cont.
Water Tower Site Condemnation Status-cont.
The State wants to reconvey the land easement back to the heirs
of the original owners, with the agreement that the City continue
condemnation proceedings. Then at the completion of the condem-
nation, the City would then grant an easement back to the S~ate
for the portions of the property they need for road use only.
This would get the City the water tower site and some additional
land.
Shaw felt the State was asking to City to clear up a mistake that
was made years ago. This would also turn over the responsibilty
of the picnic area to the City. The Council fe~ls the only area
they choose to obtain would be for the water tower site only.
Froberg will respond to the Highway Department with the Council's
decision.
