Authorize acquisition of a right-of-way easement interest in approximately 0.839 acres of land, located at 2620 Keller Hicks Road in the William McCowen Survey, Abstract No. 999, Tract 11 B, Tarrant County, Fort Worth, Texas, from property owned by Ryan G. and Amanda D. Aldis for the North Riverside Drive Improvement Project; 2.

Authorize the City Manager or his designee to accept the conveyance and record the appropriate instrument. DISCUSSION: The right of way easement interest in the subject property is needed for street reconstruction and storm drain improvements on the North Riverside Drive (CPN 101567) from Golden Triangle Boulevard to Keller Hicks Road. A portion of this project will be funded with 2018 Bond funds. Available resources within the General Fund will be used to provide interim financing until debt is issued. Once debt associated with the project is sold, bond proceeds will reimburse the General Fund in accordance with the statement expressing official Intent to Reimburse that was adopted as part of the ordinance canvassing the bond election (Ordinance No. 23209- 05-2018). An independent appraisal established fair market value for the right-of-way easement and the property owner has agreed to an amount of $403,325.00 as total compensation for the needed easement interest in the land. The City will pay estimated closing costs in the amount up to $2,000.00. Upon City Council approval, staff will proceed with acquiring the easement interest in the property.
