Fair market value is reported and justified in the attached appraisal from Western Appraisers Inc. Funding for this project is in the adopted 1997 budget and has been previously assigned Project No. 1748. On 4/2/96 through resolution R-96-45 Yakima City Council approved a contract with Gray and Osborne Engineering to relocate, design and construct a new sewer lift station. The new lift station will replace the existing Tamarack lift station located behind the Red Lion Inn on North First Street. Tamarack lift station is unreliable and unable to accommodate projected sewer flows in the area. City staff determined that the optimal site location is located at 4th and "P" Streets. A Phase One Environmental Assessment (see attachment), was conducted, as required for all public land purchases, and showed no conditions of environmental concern. This site will also provide future sewer service to a large basin not currently served by city utilities. A utility easement agreement for the site was tried unsuccessfully with the Owner, Boise Cascade Corporation. Because of liability requirements, unacceptable to Legal, a purchase agreement becomes necessary. Resolution X Ordinance Contract Other (Specify) Purchase agreement Funding Source 476 Sewer Const.
