5.5.2. Deer Pointe Permanent Sewer Easement
Rationale:
The Deer Pointe Elementary school property purchased by the school District on September 12, 2022, per City of Fremont platting requirements, has a permanent utility easement around the perimeter. The purpose of the easement is to provide for current and future infrastructure needs related to public utilities and privately owned/contracted utilities. In the development and build-out of the Deer Pointe subdivision, the need to exceed the current permanent easement in order to accommodate the storm shelter has been identified. E & A Consulting, the design firm for the subdivision, working with JEO Consulting, representing the District, has developed the amended permanent easement (see attachment). It is the recommendation of the administration to approve the permanent sewer easement as presented. The Board, by approving the permanent sewer easement is approving all associated documents related thereto according to the terms and conditions as on file with district records or such other or additional terms and provisions as negotiated and approved by the Superintendent or a designee, and the Board is hereby delegating to and authorizing the Superintendent or a designee to sign, execute, and deliver the permanent sewer easement and all such related documents and to take or cause to be taken any and all other action and sign any other documents as may be necessary to complete the transaction, and to administer, operate, and/or implement the easement and all associated documents related thereto on a day-to-day basis during this project as contemplated thereby, for and on behalf of this school district.
Recommended Motion(s):
Motion to approve permanent sewer easement as presented passed with a motion by Board Member #1 and a second by Board Member #2.
