After consulting with ERMU legal <br />counsel, Great River Energy, and Wright County, ERMU staff has been working with the <br />customer to resolve the issue. <br />Staff hired Meeks Appraisal & Consulting, Inc. to prepare a report on the value of an easement <br />on that property analyzing the market trends and site specifics. The report was completed March <br />1, 2012. Based on this report and the specifics of the issue, the property owner and staff have <br />come to an agreement in terms on the acquisition of an easement purchase for 30 foot strip <br />running contiguous to the County Road 39 Right-of-Way for the length of the property. The <br />agreed purchase amount was $5,426.30. <br />With the assistance of legal counsel, staff prepared the attached grant of easement for electric <br />utilities agreement. The property has executed the agreement and it has since been sent to <br />Wright County for recording. <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Staff recommends the Commission ratify the executed easement agreement. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />• Executed Grant of Easement for Electric Utilities dated 4/17/2012 <br />r$ rowteto er <br />I~A~'UR~ <br />Reliable PUbIIC P o w e n e o T o S r z v r <br />Power Provider <br />-~ <br />
