REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />JANUARY 22, 2013 <br />TITLE: <br />EASEMENT FOR CITY-OWNED <br />SANITARY SEWER FACILITIES <br />WITHIN ORANGE COUNTY FLOOD <br />CONTROL DISTRICT RIGHT-OF-WAY <br />CITY MANAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />? As Recommended <br />? As Amended <br />? Ordinance on 1?` Reading <br />? Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />? Implementing Resolution <br />? Set Public Hearing For_ <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with the Orange <br />County Flood Control District for the purchase of a sewer easement securing the City's interest in <br />sanitary sewer facilities located within the district right-of-way. <br />DISCUSSION <br />On March 19, 1962, the City obtained a permit from the Orange County Flood Control District <br />(OCFCD) to construct and maintain a sanitary sewer system within OCFCD right-of-way along <br />the Santa Ana River. This 10-inch sanitary sewer pipe and manholes serves approximately 280 <br />residences and businesses near the Willowick Golf Course. Although the permit grants the City <br />permission to construct and operate the sewer facility, it does not convey any rights and is <br />revocable at any time. If OCFCD ever decided to sell their right-of-way, the City could possibly <br />be faced with relocating the sewer facilities. <br />Having recently discovered this oversight, staff is recommending purchase of the easement in the <br />amount of $19,800. This easement will secure the City's present and future interests in the <br />corridor, and allow for the continued use and operation of the sanitary sewer facility. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />25C-1
