WHEREAS, on January 9th, 2014, the Guilford County Board Of Commissioners adopted a Resolution Authorizing the Grant and Execution of Temporary Construction and Permanent Utility Easements to the City of Winston-Salem for the Construction, Operation, and Maintenance of the Reedy Fork Pump Station and Associated Structures and Equipment at Triad Park; and

WHEREAS, during the construction process, two minor changes to the easements became necessary due to construction issues, one at the end of Crouse Road where the force main was installed outside the easement area due to existing pipe condition, and one at the Triad Park pump station where a fence was installed outside the easement area to accommodate the shelter; and
WHEREAS, the revisions to the easements are shown in legal descriptions which are labeled and attached hereto and incorporated into said easement; and
WHEREAS, the City of Winston-Salem will not charge the Counties an assessment against the above parcels related to said easements; and
WHEREAS, the value of the work to be performed by the City of Winston-Salem on the Triad Park site provides a benefit to the Counties, which exceeds the value of the property requested for the easements; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Guilford County Board of Commissioners, that the Chairman or County Manager and Clerk to the Board are hereby authorized to execute any necessary documents to grant the above-described revised permanent utility and temporary construction easements to the City of Winston-Salem, subject to a pre-audit certificate thereon by the Chief Financial Officer, if applicable, and approval as to form and legality by the County Attorney.
