Subject: Consideration of Resolution Approving Agreements for the Purchase of Right-of-Way for the South Main Street - Soda Bay Road Improvement Project and Authorizing the Director of Public Works to execute the purchase Agreements of Behalf of the County of Lake.
Executive Summary:
The South Main - Soda Bay Road Improvement project is slated for undergrounding of the utilities in the Spring of 2024. In order to meet the schedule the acquisition of portions of effected properties through fee title must occur.
