-7 BOOK 63 F°,GE R27 <br />in paying for utility easements in a situation where the City <br />eventually would be recouping their share of the condemnation <br />costs through the sale of electricity. <br />Robert Lloyd of Lloyd Associates, engineers for the City, <br />stated that the City does not necessarily want to own the right- <br />of-way, but they want paramount interest in the right-of-way to <br />prevent somebody coming along and telling them to move the power <br />lines at sometime in the future. They could get by without <br />having any participation from the County, but he believed it is a <br />beneficial swap of interests. <br />Chairman Scurlock understood that the County is going to get <br />the full benefit of the 40 ft. donations and will pay 4/7ths of <br />the sections where they cannot get the donation. He felt there <br />might be a possibility of the County acquiring their 50 ft, and <br />letting the City get the other 20 feet by themselves. <br />Attorney Vitunac stated there would have to be some <br />agreement for both to use the 10 ft. swing corridor. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Wodtke, that the Board authorize staff to <br />continue to acquire right-of-way up to 50 ft. on South <br />Gifford Road for another 30 days before bringing it <br />back to the Board for authorization of condemnation <br />proceedings. <br />Administrator Wright stated that the City is going to <br />condemnation with or without us, and they have the right to <br />condemn property in the unincorporated area of the county in <br />order to install a power line. <br />The Commissioners questioned whether they could condemn <br />property in the county where the County has plans to build a <br />road. <br />39 <br />M o M <br />
