- Analysis -
This resolution accepts an easement from the Williams Steel & Supply Company, Incorporated for the construction, maintenance, and operation of an industrial spur railroad track to be constructed on Williams Steel & Supply Company's property. Said easement is required as a condition of a State of Wisconsin Transportation Economic Assistance (T.E.A.) Grant which provides funds to Williams Steel through the City of Milwaukee as a local sponsor. Although Williams Steel is made responsible for the spur track by virtue of other agreements, the City technically must retain ownership of the improvements. Hence, the need for the easement.
BODY:
Whereas, Resolution File Number 970479, adopted by the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee on July 11, 1997, authorized the City of Milwaukee's participation, with Williams Steel & Supply Company, Incorporated and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, in a Transportation Economic Assistance (T.E.A.) Grant project to construct an industrial railroad spur track to serve the expanded Williams Steel processing and distribution center located at 999 West Armour Avenue in the City of Milwaukee; and
Whereas, The terms of the T.E.A. Grant require that the City of Milwaukee retain ownership of the improvements constructed with grant monies and that the City of Milwaukee demonstrate that it has secured the property rights necessary to operate and maintain the spur track; and,
Whereas, The Williams Steel & Supply Company, Incorporated has executed an easement document granting the necessary rights to the City of Milwaukee, said document having been prepared by the City Attorney and approved as to content by the City Engineer, and said document being made a part of this Common Council File by reference as though set forth in full; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee that the attached easement is hereby accepted, and, be it
Further Resolved, That the proper City officers are hereby directed to submit the easement to the Milwaukee County Register of Deeds for recording against the property described in the easement and, upon recording, to distribute copies to the City Engineer and the City Attorney.
