Public Works Department requesting authorization for the City Manager to execute
a Utility Easement granting the Starlight Baptist Church the right to install, operate,
and maintain a force main in a 15-foot wide non-exclusive easement on City property
near Hayes Road and Bahama Road.
SYNOPSIS:
The Starlight Baptist Church recently completed sanitary sewer improvements including a
new lift station and a force main connecting to the existing City sewer main on Lancers
Drive. A portion of the force main was approved by the City to extend across the City
property adjacent to the church property. The proposed utility easement provides the
church rights to install, operate, and maintain a force main within the easement. The
easement has no impact on the City's use of the land.

Road. In 2011, the church completed site improvements including the installation of a new
lift station and a force main extending offsite to a connection to the City sanitary sewer
system in Lancers Drive. A portion of the offsite force main was approved by the City to
extend across the City property immediately adjacent to the church's west property line (see
Exhibit A for location).
This agenda item authorizes the granting of a 15-foot wide non-exclusive Utility Easement
to Starlight Baptist Church on the City property. The Utility Easement grants Starlight
Baptist Church the right to access the easement area to install, operate, and maintain an
