EVERETT CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET <br />12 <br />PROJECT TITLE: <br />Port Riverside Business Park <br />General Transfer Agreement <br />for utilities and roads <br />Briefing <br />Proposed Action <br />Consent <br />Action <br />First Reading <br />Second Reading <br />Third Reading <br />Public Hearing <br />Budget Advisory <br />COUNCIL BILL # <br />Originating Department <br />Contact Person <br />Phone Number <br />FOR AGENDA OF <br />Initialed by: <br />Department Head <br />CAA <br />Council President <br />Public Works <br />Jim Miller <br />425-257-8880 <br />5/21/14 <br />el <br />Location <br />Riverside Business Park on <br />Snohomish River bt. I-5 & Hwy 529 <br />Preceding Action Attachments Dept(s) Approval <br />General Transfer Agreement Legal <br />(without exhibits) <br />Amount Budgeted <br />-0- <br />Expenditure Required <br />-0- <br />Account Number(s): <br />Budget Remaining <br />-0- <br />Additional Required <br />-0- <br />DETAILED SUMMARY STATEMENT: <br />The Riverside Business Park is owned by the Port of Everett, which intends to develop the site as a business <br />park. The site was foiiuerly owned by Weyerhaeuser and contains utility systems (water, sewer, and <br />stormwater). For the purposes of development of the site, it makes sense for the City utility to control and <br />maintain the site utilities, as the City does for the rest of the City. The City has already in 2011 taken over <br />the water service at the site. This action item authorizes the Mayor to sign the General Transfer Agreement <br />with the Port, which sets up a defined process for the City to take over the sewer and stoiniwater <br />infrastructure, plus the roads at the site. In general, the agreement requires that Port complete certain <br />work/upgrades for each utility system, with the City taking over the system when the work is completed. <br />Because of the Weyerhaeuser legacy, the utilities are somewhat complex, and so the exhibits to the <br />agreement are bulky with many survey attachments, almost to pipe -by -pipe detail. (A binder with the <br />exhibits is available at the Council Office for review.) <br />hi return for the City's costs in this utility and road takeover, the Port is granting a free -of -charge easement <br />for the Tulalip Water Pipeline. These costs were estimated to have a present value of $300,000 which equals <br />the value of the easement which is over a mile long. As part of the City's 2005 Settlement Agreement with <br />the Tulalip Tribes establishing the pipeline project, the City agreed that it would procure the necessary <br />easements for pipeline, a significant segment of which will go through the Riverside Business Park. This <br />easement from the Port is the last piece in that puzzle. <br />RECOMMENDATION (Exact action requested of Council): <br />Authorize Mayor to sign the Port Riverside Business Park General Transfer Agreement and related <br />documents in substantially the form provided. <br />55 <br />
