Billups City Clerk Mayor  COUNCIL ITEM TO: Mayor Jon Billups and City Council FROM: Nick MacGregor, Deputy City Manager SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing Acquisition of Permanent Easement by Eminent Domain- Jefferson Street Railroad Crossing Improvement Project PREPARED FOR COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING: July 13, 2026 BACKGROUND/DESCRIPTION: The attached resolution requests City Council authorization to proceed with acquisition of a permanent easement located at 857 Washington Street through the eminent domain process as authorized under Chapter 6B of the Iowa Code. The easement is required for the Jefferson Street Railroad Crossing Improvement Project, a federally funded Section 130 Railroad Safety Improvement project administered in coordination with the Iowa Department of Transportation Rail Bureau and BNSF Railway. The project includes replacement of the railroad crossing signal mast and associated ADA improvements and supports infrastructure necessary to maintain Burlington's railroad quiet zone. The required property interest consists of approximately 173 square feet and represents the minimum easement necessary to construct, operate, inspect, and maintain the public improvement. Acquisition History City staff retained ProSource Technologies to administer the acquisition process in accordance with federal and state right-of-way requirements. Over approximately nine months, the City pursued voluntary acquisition before requesting authority to proceed with eminent domain. • November 20, 2025 - Easement plat prepared. • December 2, 2025 - General Information Notice issued. • December 2, 2025 Notice of Intent issued. • December 2, 2025 Initial Offer to Purchase transmitted. • December 8, 2025 Compensation Estimate completed and compensation established. • February 6, 2026 - Final Offer transmitted. • February 13, 2026- Purchase Agreement executed by the property owner. • February through July 2026 - Continued follow-up efforts to complete the easement without condemnation. Despite the City's repeated efforts and the execution of a purchase agreement, the permanent easement has not been completed. Staff and the City's acquisition consultants have exhausted reasonable opportunities to finalize the transaction voluntarily. Public Interest While the easement itself is relatively small, it is essential to completion of the Jefferson Street Railroad Crossing Improvement Project. Failure to obtain the easement could delay construction, increase project costs, affect the City's Section 130 grant funding, and delay improvements supporting Burlington's railroad quiet zone. The City has already invested significant time and resources in engineering, grant administration, environmental coordination, and right-of-way acquisition. Completing the project remains an important public safety objective. Fiscal Impact Acquisition costs are included within the project budget and are eligible under the Iowa Department of Transportation Section 130 Railway-Highway Crossings Program. Delays in obtaining the easement may impact project scheduling, construction costs, and the City's investment in railroad safety infrastructure. JUSTIFICATION/ RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the attached Resolution authorizing acquisition of the required permanent easement through the eminent domain process. Although the property interest being acquired is minimal in size, it is critical to completion of a federally funded railroad safety project. After approximately nine months of good-faith efforts to voluntarily complete the acquisition, staff believes authorization under Chapter 6B of the Iowa Code is necessary to protect the public interest, preserve grant funding, maintain the construction schedule, and allow this important public safety improvement to move forward.  DRAFT EASEMENT TO CONSTRUCT AND MAINTAIN RAILROAD CROSSING For the consideration of one and no/100-($1.00) Dollar and other valuable consideration in hand paid to MIZS IOWA TRANSFER, LLC., an Iowa limited liability company, (GRANTOR), do hereby grant to the City of Buriington, Iowa, (GRANTEE) a permanent easement to construct and maintain railroad crossing in, to, on, over and across real estate in Des Moines County, Iowa: THE EASEMENT GRANTED TO CONSTRUCT ANO MAINTAIN RAILROAD CROSSING IS TO LANO DESCRIBED AS FOLLOWS: See real estate description attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof, Easement Plat (B) marked Exhibit "A",' is attached to said legal description.

ATTEST: Katie Music, CMC Jon D.

It is agreed to and covenanted between the parties hereto as follows: 1. The City is the owner and leaseholder of the outdoor stadium commonly referred to as "Community Field" and the real estate upon which it is located, on Mt. Pleasant Street in the City of Burlington, Iowa. Such right is prescribed under City Contract No. 5322 entered into with American Legion Community Field, Inc., on the twenty-fourth day of February, 1997 assigning their rights, title and interest to a lease agreement dated the eighth day of October, 1945 entered into with the Voiture 76 Forty and Eight. The provisions of City Contract No. 5322 are incorporated by reference and made a part of this agreement. 2. The City hereby grants to the Association, for the effective period of this agreement, the right to the full use of Community Field, including all outbuildings and parking lots for all regularly scheduled Prospect League home games and related activities. The Association may use the stadium for exhibition games, practice sessions, promotional events, and other activities hosted or sponsored by the Association that do not conflict with other City uses of the premises. The City shall be required to provide at least seven (7) days advanced notice of intended use. The Association shall be responsible for scheduling all events sponsored by the Association. 3. The Association shall be permitted to collect admission at the stadium for the events directly sponsored by the Association and retain the revenues therefrom. 4. The Association is hereby granted the right to operate the concession business at the stadium during any event at the stadium, including the contracting of such services to another entity. The sale of alcohol, however, is permitted only when the stadium is being used for Prospect League baseball games or related activities (including but not limited to exhibition games, practice sessions, promotional events, and other activities hosted or sponsored by the Association that do not conflict with other City uses of the premises). All concession activities must be conducted in accordance with and subject to the laws of the City, the State of Iowa, and the United States government. 5. The Association may have the use of all offices, storage areas and related areas located in and at Community Field to the extent this does not conflict with the City's reserved right of use set forth in paragraph 2 above. 6. The Association shall be solely responsible for the maintenance, upkeep, repair, and replacement of the stadium and all appurtenances thereto, including but not limited to fences, scoreboards, lights and light towers, screens, bleachers, advertising signs, out-buildings, fixtures, and related facilities. 7. As good and valuable consideration for the obligations set forth in this agreement and to off-set the costs of operations and promotions of the city owned facility, the City agrees to pay the Association the sum of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) per contractual year for the three years of the agreement, FY27 - FY29. This amount may be payable in one annual installment in approximately August of each year. 8. In the event of loss or destruction for which insurance proceeds are paid to the City and the City and Voiture 76, 40 & 8 decide that the damage due to such loss or destruction is to be repaired or reconstructed, the City will use the insurance proceeds to reconstruct a permanent stadium facility of the premises. If it is decided that the premises are not to be repaired or reconstructed, this agreement is automatically terminated. 9. It is agreed that the City will at all times have Fire and Extended Coverage insurance on the permanent structures and appurtenances at said Community Field. The City further agrees to relieve the Association from any possible subrogation by the City's insurance carrier. 1O. It is agreed that the Association will carry General Public Liability insurance and provide the City with a Certificate of Insurance as proof of coverage. In addition, the Association will carry Dram Shop insurance as it relates to the sale of alcohol with the Association as a named insured and the City as an additional insured. 11. The Association may make temporary or permanent improvements to the stadium or its appurtenances, provided such improvements do not hinder or impair the City's use of the premises and are subject to the City's prior review and approval. Capital improvement projects for Community Field shall be identified and prioritized through mutual agreement between the City and the Association and may, but are not required to, be included in the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Inclusion of a project in the CIP shall not constitute a commitment to fund or construct the project, and all such projects shall remain subject to City Council approval and appropriation through the annual budget process or other authorized action. The City may, but shall not be obligated to, allocate funding for mutually agreed-upon capital improvements at Community Field, subject to annual budget approval. 12. The City shall designate a member of its council to serve as a fully voting member of the Association's Board of Directors having all the rights, privileges, duties, and responsibilities of a Board member. 13. It is agreed that the Association will save, indemnify, and hold the City harmless from any claim for liability, which might arise out of conducting Prospect League baseball or related activities. 14. The Association, its heirs, successors and assigns, specifically agree to save and hold harmless the City of Burlington, Iowa from any and all claims for personal injury, property damages or any other damages incidental to or arising out of the operation  conducted on said premises by the Association or arising out of any other such use of the premises by the Association, and the Association further agrees to indemnify the City of Burlington, Iowa for any loss sustained by the City by reason of any claim for personal injury, property damage, costs, attorneys' fees, or any other damages incidental to or arising out of the operation conducted upon said premises by the Association or arising out of any other use of the premises by the said Association. 15. The term of this agreement shall be for three years and expire on June 30, 2029, but may be renewable for three-year terms should the City extend its lease of the premises as referred to in paragraph 1 of this agreement. This agreement is automatically terminated upon the termination, rescission or invalidation of the Contract with Voiture 76 Forty and Eight dated October 8, 1945 and assigned to the City on February 24, 1997 under City Contract 5322.
