RESOLUTION N0. 122
AU`PHORIZING CONDEMNATIDN FOR EASEMENT FOR PROJECT
The Clty Attorney explained the location of these easements which are from
Osborne Road on the West side of University Avenue North to approximately
Ironton Street and then turning West to connect with the water line in
Ironton Street. He pointed out that because the State Highway widening
decision was not complete and acquisition of property for the Highway had
not been made that the property owners did not wish to give an easement
to anybody at this time� that this would be making use of what appeared
to be a service road area� and that although at this time it would inter-
� fere inland with the development of these properties� it should fit into
the State Right-oY-way acqea7sition program. If thls proved to be true�
the State probably would have to pay the City for this easement. The City
Attorney was recommending passage of this resolution condemning these
easements rather than terminating the contraet for the construction under
W-34-K Project as this would result in a dollar loss to the City on this
contract. Motion by Wolke� seconded by Johanson� to adopt Resolution
#122-1963 authorizing condemnation for easements on W-34-K Pro,7ect. Upon
a voice vote� there being no naysa Mayor Nee declared the motion carried.

The following statement is my opinion� based on contracts made zn this area
for the development of wells on a nonexper3mental bases� and are taken from
the prepared statement oP which you requested a copy.
STATEMENT: The problem with the Fridley wells can be eliminated or con-

Contractor who installed the wells� or both� and neither shall be paid in
full until the faulty eondition is rectified.
Let citizens and taxpayers be advised that (on good authority) it is
imperative they secure the services of an attorney� requesting he give
them an interpretation of the contract with the well installers and the
contract which the City of Fridley has, in force, with the Dav3s and
Comstock consultants.
