It will be located east of the YAC football field. <br /> <br />The details of the agreement were reviewed and recommended by both ERMU and the Parks and <br />Recreation Commission. This item was pulled from the June 15 City Council consent agenda so that Parks <br />and Recreation Commission members could visit a similar wind turbine in operation. <br /> <br />The driveway location to the wind turbine was reviewed by parks maintenance and an easement has been <br />drafted to accommodate the installation and maintenance. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />In consideration of the rights granted with this agreement, MMPA will make a payment of $20,000 to the <br />city. The city shall reimburse ERMU in the amount of $7,757.06 for installation. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> MMPA Wind Energy Easement Agreement <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity <br />
