Mr. Meader answered that KP Law provided the <br /> document. KP Law has been working with the engineers and Wastewater Department, obtaining all of <br /> the maps and assessing whether there needs to be Easements or Orders of Taking because there has to <br /> be a utility easement. Mr. Meader went on to explain that part of the way to get SR funding is they need <br /> to own, operate and install the grinder pumps, which means they need to have an easement onto the <br /> property should there be an emergency. Chair Harris asked if the language had been clarified by the <br /> attorneys and that is what is being voted on. Chair Harris asked the committee members if there were <br /> any further comments or questions regarding the easement. Vice Chair made a motion to approve as <br /> presented.

Mr. Meader answered that the property will need to <br /> be restored back to how it was found. Chair Harris stated that these questions and answers that are <br /> taking place now may help ease homeowners minds regarding their property and what happens when <br /> digging begins.
