TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Sanitary Sewer Easement for Kemira Chemicals, Inc.
INITIATED BY: Department of Engineering
Recommendation: Approval is requested 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.
Background: Kemira Chemicals Inc. had to replace a sanitary sewer that
services their facilities and tie to the public system owned by the Columbus
Water Works across Bull Creek. In order to this they had to cross Canal
Street. Portions of the property are owned by the City of Columbus and other
portions owned by the Development Authority of Columbus, Georgia.
Analysis: Kemira Chemicals Inc. has already performed the work under the
proper permits 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.
