FOR A PUBLIC PROJECT TO CONSTRUCT A STORM SEWER CONNECTION
FROM EDLOE STREET INTO THE POOR FARM DITCH; AUTHORIZING THE

EFFECTIVE DATE
Public Works Director Ed Menville reported that plans and specifications for
infrastructure improvements in Priority Area 6B have been completed and construction
has begun. The design of this area includes an improved storm sewer system to be
installed in.Georgetown Street. The system calls for a 6' x 3' concrete box structure that
begins at Auden and ends at Poor Farm Ditch. This structure replaces a 24" storm sewer
pipe. In order to drain properly, the new box must cross the JMH property. The current
24' storm sewer pipe traverses the JMH property in the same area without the benefit of
an easement.
An appraisal for the acquisition of a permanent 20' storm sewer easement and a
temporary 10' construction easement across the JMH Supermarket Properties has been
completed.
JMH Supermarket Properties has offered to sell the required easements for $34,302.50.
The recent appraisal performed by Leudemann & Associates establishes a value of
$10,891.00 for the easements.
