Background
Kemira Chemicals Inc. had to replace a sanitary sewer that services their

but desires to obtain a permanent easement for future maintenance needs and

property records. The Development Authority has already agreed to the

easement but desires to wait on Council approval for final execution.
Financial Considerations
The ongoing maintenance of the sanitary sewer will be at the expense of Kemira

Chemicals, Inc.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement
None for the City.
Legal Considerations
The agreement requires Council authorization.
Recommendations/ Actions
Approve the resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement

with Kemira Chemicals, Inc. and the Development Authority of Columbus, Georgia

for a 20' wide sanitary sewer easement across Canal Street and other

properties.
