City Manager McMicken referred to a matter regarding the construction of the 48" water •Il transmission main, namely, a "right of entry "permit for the contractor to enter upon the Northern Pacific railroad property for installation of that transmission line. He stated that the'railroad.is ready. to submit to us the formal easement right, which they call a Permit, (permission to use the right-of-way for this 48" water transmission main a ong a strip of land about six miles long,) for the sum of $15,000, and.requests the Coun4il's authorization to sign a letter accepting. said "right of entry" 'permit. Public Wor s • Director John Mayo, explained that they have been negotiating with the railroad fo over a year to acquire this right-of-way and favorable reaction by the railroad was giv °n verbally, over the past months. He stated that' now the contractor is ready to star con- struction and a document has been sent that has been signed by all approving depar ments of the railroad, except the President of the railroad, indicating that they will g antt.a • "right of entry" permit upon. receipt of the acceptance from the City Manage Mr. Mayo-further stated: that although the Railroad did not previously charge for such ights- ofway, they now have a new policy and do not give them away any more, but he beli °ves the amount of $15,000 for about six miles of right-of-way is a token amount, as we hav- paid as much as $3,000 and . $6,000 for only several hundred feet right-of-way. He st.:ted that although it was not anticipated to have to pay anything for this right-of-way money is set up in the budget to cover rights -of way, so we have ample money to pay for ■t. City Attorney Andrews read portions of the contract, and explained that this is no an . easement, in which we are vested with any right of ownership, but rather is a revo able permit, which can be terminated, upon notice, and 60 days to correct any problems, if the railroad deems it necessary. He further stated that it is different from a Title d•r Easement, but is adquate for our purposes. After due discussion,.it was MOVED by •obin- son, seconded by Keith that the City Manager' be authorized to sign a letter accepting the "right of entry" permit on behalf of the City of Yakima, as has been discussed and recommended at this meeting: carried, Brown, Keith, Kurbitz, Larson, McNeice and R.binson voting aye by voice vote.
