Title
Approval of application for Avigation Easement Property Appraisal TDOT Grant
Body
SUMMARY: The neighboring properties on the east end of the runway have trees that have grown into the airport airspace. The Engineering Department has a project ready to be bid for the tree trimming of all the neighboring properties in the approach area. Two of the properties do not have an avigation easement which gives the City the right to trim the trees. This TDOT grant is the first step in acquiring these easements.
The estimated cost for the appraisals is $15,000 and staff expects the grant will be 95% State and 5% City match. Staff recommends the approval of the grant application.
