Jim Lema, Washington Appraisal Services, consultant for the City, was present at the meeting to answer questions the Council Members might have on the golf course easements. Councilman Bauch asked about odors that might come from the man holes, and what recourse the City might have. Jim Haney, City Attorney, said that would be a legal consideration. Consideration will have to be given to loss in value that may be permanent; loss in revenue during construction; and benefits due to bridge and dike that will be put in. Council Member Morgan asked if it would be possible to create a fund for potential use by the City if damage occurs or for risk or ongoing problems. Mr. Lema said Metro is acquiring a right and will be paying a reasonable amount for it. General reserve funds are not made a part of the package. Councilman Bauch said Metro is not giving the City a bridge. The City has just repaired the bridge and it is satisfactory. With respect to the dike, Metro is putting it in for their own convenience so they will not wash out.

Council Member Morgan she would like to tighten the language to prevent new construction in case volume usage over the years proves the 20' is not sufficient. would Councilman Bauch said he cannot see anything that /prevent Metro from coming back and putting up towers, etc., on the golf course. He would like to know that the initial construction is it. City Attorney Haney said the City can refer to the original construction plans. Member Council /Morgan said she wanted to be sure Metro would repair any damage they do during construction. Also, there may be an ongoing loss of revenue due to the easement.

Byron Sneva, Public Works Director, said Metro could get onto the golf course only through locked gates and with the knowledge of the City.
