SUBMITTED BY: George W. Kozeliski, City Attorney
Summary: The Electric Department has had an overhead power line that ran from behind the shop building at
Gallup Mid-School up the side of the hill to Country Club Dr. for many years. We believe that the property
owner allowed the City to run it so that we could provide power to his home which was on the east side of
Country Club. The property recently sold and ELR Enterprises, LLC (Mr. Ed Gonzales) purchased it. He
requested an upgrade to the service of the property he purchased and that is when we realized that we did not
have an easement for the line. The City agreed to pay approximately 1/3 of the cost ($787.16) for running the
new service in return for the easement which allows us to provide power to the east side of Country Club Dr.

GALLUP MEETING DATE: May 9, 2017
SUBJECT: Approval of Purchase Agreement with Kristin J. F airey for Real Property
DEPT. Of ORIGIN: City Attorney’s Office
DATE SUBMITTED: May 4, 2017
SUBMITTED BY: George W. Kozeliski. City Attorney
Summary: This is the last property needed for the new water transmission line from the area of Park Ave. and
Third Street to the Grandview Water Tanks. It was originally thought to get an easement over this property,
however we already have a 10 foot easement and we would need to add another 15 foot easement to it. The
result would have been Ms. fairey having little use of her property with the City of Gallup deeded her adjacent
property in the area. It was determined it would be best for the City to purchase the property as it will also give
the City ownership of all the property from Puerco/Apache Circle all the way to Second Street and Park Ave.
DePauli Engineering has advised the City the cost of not running water line through this property, and trying to
stay in the Apache Circle right of way will be substantially more than $15,000.
financial Impact: $15,000 plus closing costs to the Water Department Enterprise fund
Approved: I kj cI
