property to secure their paving easement and/or
commitment by establishment of a lien against their
property in lieu of escrowing funds.
City Manager Alan D. Ratliff made a presentation to the Council.
Mr. Ratliff indicated that City Staff have been working with an
economic development prospect who is requesting relief from escrow
funds required for requirements of major roadways adjacent to his
development. The prospective client did not want to tie up funds
since it will most likely be several years before the roadway is
constructed. Staff is looking for Council direction prior to
proceeding. City Attorney representative, Bruce Stockard,
indicated to Council that they could add language to the agreement
to do an assessment program as an option. It was the consensus of
the Council to proceed with this project and come forward for final
consideration. No other action was required.
