DISCUSSION/ The City of Springfield is in the process of designing the Jasper Trunk Sanitary
FINANCIAL Sewer Extension — Phase 3 project and is presenting this Resolution of Necessity
IMPACT: pursuant to state law.
The Project goal is to successfully negotiate with the property owners and come to
an agreement to acquire property, temporary construction easements and permanent
easements needed for the project. The purpose of the Resolution of Necessity is to
allow the City to proceed with condemnation proceedings in those cases where
agreement on public acquisition cannot be reached. Staff and the City Attorney's
office will make every attempt to reach agreement before proceeding with
condemnation.
The right-of-way process is in the project schedule's critical path in order to begin
construction of this project in 2024. Adopting the Resolution of Necessity at this
time aids in keeping the project on schedule.
