RELEVANT POLICY, STATUTE OR GUIDING PRINCIPLE: · CAWCD Purchasing Policy · 2010 Strategic Plan: Effectively Operate and Maintain CAP Assets

PREVIOUS BOARD ACTION/ACTIVITY: None ISSUE SUMMARY/DESCRIPTION: CAWCD has a 100' wide buried pipeline easement under this 6.7 acre parcel. This easement which was granted in 1988 also crosses 12 other privately owned parcels west of Spencer Avenue. We have encountered encroachment issues on CAWCD easement property for a number of years.

This property was recently listed for sale. The purchase of this property would give CAWCD the full bundle of rights on this parcel. Attached is a "Draft" Purchase and Sale Agreement currently being negotiated for the purchase of this property.

The acquisition of this property is important because it will allow CAWCD to use this property as a staging area during maintenance outages, communication cable replacement or other work to the pipeline in the future.

It would also prevent future encroachments, allow additional land for a staging area, and keep other potential buyers from acquiring the property and encroaching on the CAWCD easement. SUGGESTED MOTION: I move that the Board of Directors approve the acquisition of the 6.7 acre parcel located at 5110 South Spencer Avenue, Tucson, Pima County, Arizona between Wyoming Street and Utah Street and authorize the General Manager, or his designee, to execute an agreement up to $90,600, plus an additional $9,600 (10%) for contingencies (totaling $100,200).
