The easement area is more fully described in the metes and bounds survey prepared by Quiddity Engineering, LLC (March 29, 2022). The City will acquire the drainage easement for a total amount of $5,000.00.

- Ensure long-term access for inspection, maintenance, and future improvements.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution R2026-59 accepting the drainage easements for the Tres Palacios Creek Expansion Project.
