Agrilance, LLC has proposed an exchange of property it owns with proper[y the Ciry owns in an effort to cleaz up titie issues. The
AgriGance parcel houses an active sewer pumping station wluch the City maintains for flood control purposes. The City parcels are
within the flood control easement azea, but aze currently used by Agriliance for vehicle access and some tnaterial storage. The City
pazcels, if conveyed to Agriliance, will continue to be encumbered by the flood control easement, so use by the City if necessary will
be preserved The value of the pazcels being exchanged is roughly equivalent, with the value of the Agriliance pazcei slighUy geater
than the Ciry pazce(s. No monetary compensation will be exchanged.
AdvanWgeslfApproved: � � '�
The properiy fitle issues will be cleared up. The Ciry will have fee ownership of the sewer pumping station parcel.
