Agenda Item # 2
Columbus Consolidated Government
Council Meeting

Agenda Report # 97
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: License for a Temporary Road Ft Benning, Georgia
INITIATED BY: Department on Engineering
Recommendation: Approval is requested to renew the license for the continued
use and operation of a temporary road to remove silt, beaver dams and debris
along Tiger Creek at Ft. Benning Georgia.
Background: The original license began in November 4, 2002 for a 5 year
term that ended on November 3, 2007. A supplemental agreement was then
prepared to extend the term until November 4, 2012. A new license is required
in order to retain access to this area if needed for maintenance. The term for
this license is November 12, 2012 and will expire November 3, 2017 at which
time it will have to be renewed again.
Analysis: Tiger Creek borders Ft. Benning and a heavily populated area in the
City of Columbus. Some of these residences were constructed prior to the
designation of a floodplain and have experienced flooding from the creek and
other localized areas. It is desirable to maintain access to the area for
maintenance, if needed.
Financial Considerations: The cost to renew the license is $3100 which is
available in the Department of Engineering's FY 15 Operation Budget.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: The license will have to be renewed
on a 5 year basis and will require payment of the fees at that time.
Maintenance cost will be incurred as part of the Department of Public Works
Operating Budget.
Legal Considerations: Legal documents require authorization by Council.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approve the Resolution to renew the license for the
continued use and operation of a temporary road to remove silt, beaver dams and
debris along Tiger Creek at Ft. Benning Georgia.
