MINUTES <br />City Council <br />May 25, 1988 <br />NSP <br />Powerline <br />Pr~oper~ty <br />Agenda <br />Addition <br />Scalze r•epor•ted that NSP is willing to dedicate the pr•oper•ty it owns under~ <br />the power•lines for• City par•k pur•poses. NSP would r~etain an easement over• <br />the pr•oper•ty. The City Cler•k has deter•mined that $4,230.56 in taxes is <br />gener•ated fr~om thi s pr~oper•ty each year•. The Ci ty al so has the opti on of <br />enter~ing into a long-term use agreement with NSP. <br />Scal ze fel t that the amount of taxes gener•ated fr•om the pr~oper•ty was not <br />substantial and pointed out that the City only r•eceives about 1/4 of those <br />taxes. Scalze felt that the City's owner~ship of that pr•oper•ty may be <br />pr•efer•able to a long-ter•m use agr•eement. Liability to the City r•emains <br />the same in either• instance. <br />Fahey felt that r•ather• than for•ego the $1,000 in taxes, the City should <br />enter• into a long-ter•m use agr~eement for• the pr•oper•ty. It was pointed <br />out that the School Distr~ict and County r•eceives the r•emainder• of the <br />tax r•evenue. <br />Fahey suggested that the City Attor•ney investigate a long-ter~m use agr•eement <br />with NSP. <br />Scalze felt that both the long-ter•m use agr~eement and City purchase should <br />be investigated before the City makes a decision one way or~ the other~. <br />P4r•. Fahey intr~oduced the following r•esolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION N0. 88-5-218 - AUTHORIZING TNE CITY <br />ATTORNEY TO CONTACT NSP TO DETERMINE IF THE <br />CITY CAN OBTAIN A LONG-TERM USE AGREEMENT FOR <br />A TRAIL SYSTEM UNDER THE NSP POWERLINES AT NO <br />COST TO THE CITY <br />The for•egoing resolution was duly seconded by Mr•.
