The resolution also confirms two important statutory steps:

• Second, the resolution confirms that the project is necessary and for a public purpose.
Both of these steps are required for the City to acquire the property and property interests by
condemnation, if that becomes necessary. In the near future, City staff will be providing
documents to the Public Works Committee and Council to continue the acquisition process.
Item (5) Professional services agreement with General Engineering Company for cross
connection inspection services.
This agreement is for professional services to coordinate, inspect, and document potable water
