Consider a resolution authorizing the President and/or General Manager to accept the transfer of the Gross Property from City of Leander to BCRUA. PRESENTER: Tom Gallier, General Manager BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION: Purchase of the Gross property, located within the Village of Volente, was a necessary element of our Phase 2 Deep Water Intake and Pump Station Project.The purchase was coordinated by the City of Leander, on BCRUA's behalf. Final purchase occurred last year, with BCRUA Board authorization to reimburse the City of Leander for all costs associated with the acquisition. Formal authorization to transfer of the property is being completed by the Leander City Council, but it is also necessary for The BCRUA Board to formally accept the property from the City of Leander. The Gross property, along with the LCRA property we acquired in 2013, completes the major real property acquisitions BCRUA will need for Phase 2.There still remain many easements for both electrical service lines, as well as surface easements above the deep tunneled gravity and pressure raw water mains to acquire over the next two years.Also, some minor property acquisitions from LCRA, as well as property adjacent to a PEC substation will be needed. Staff and the Operations Committee (OC) recommend approval of this resolution.
