The City will acquire new easement for relocation of pole behind 304/308 Opal and contribute $10,052 towards the project. The easements have been acquired or are in acquisition and will be in place prior to commencement of the work.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Impact is $10,052. Funding is available in the Drainage Fund, Account 14-7000-00, Capital Outlay/Special Request.
