Body
PREAMBLE

WisDOT requires the City to obtain their Temporary Authorization Permit (TAP) for work on rail right of way, which includes standard language indemnifying WisDOT and the Railroad. City APM 1-1 requires Common Council Approval whenever the City indemnifies another party.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,
That the Common Council approves indemnification of the State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation and the operating Railroad as set forth in the Temporary Authorization Permit to occupy the WisDOT rail corridor for archaeological investigation, and authorizing the City Engineer or his designated representative to apply for said Permit.
