Fiscal Note
This resolution authorizes easements and maintenance agreements for property located near a path planned for Door Creek Park. If eligible property owners wish the installation of a fence, the Parks Division will cover the cost of installation of fencing along the park portion of the property. The estimated total cost for fencing installation is estimated at $18,000, and is available in "Parks Facility Improvements", Account #810397. Total costs may be somewhat less, if for some reason a property owner does not wish to have the fence installed. Ongoing maintenance would be the responsibility of the property owner.
