1. INTERIM ORDINANCE TO ESTABLISH CONFORMITY WITH THE
COUNTY ROAD ADMINISTRATION BOARD POLICY FOR
ACCOMMODATION OF UTILITIES IN THE COUNTY ROAD
RIGHT -OF -WAY (AB92 -445)
Jeff Monsen, Director of Maintenance and Operations, explained the purpose of
this proposed ordinance. He stated that the County Road Administration Board
recommended that this model ordinance be adopted before the end of 1992; it originally
had been the intent of Public Works to have the ordinance brought forward when
development standards were introduced, but development standards have been delayed.
The ordinance would serve as a chapter in the development standards, virtually as
presented. He said this ordinance is an interim measure, and there is no rush for the
Council to adopt it immediately.
BRENNER MOVED TO RECOMMEND ADOPTION OF THE ORDINANCE.
Motion carried unanimously.
2. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PROSECUTING ATTORNEY'S
OFFICE TO PROCEED WITH LEGAL ACTION TO ACQUIRE A
PERMANENT EASEMENT OVER PROPERTY ON THE EAST SIDE

Imhof briefly went through his understanding of the issues. Brenner commented. Chief
Civil Deputy Prosecutor Randy Watts came into the room and gave a short explanation.
He said the easement has not yet been created at this point. There was discussion.
VANDER YACHT MOVED TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE
RESOLUTION.
Motion carried with Brenner opposed.
