COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Continue effective financial management
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The City of Longview and Consolidated Diking Improvement District No. 1 (CDID) desire to exchange a portion of the City’s abandoned West Longview Lagoons Sewer Treatment Plant property for a portion of CDID property adjacent to the City’s abandoned Fishers Lane Water Treatment Plant, to provide for increased flexibility and expanded use of each parties’ property. Access and maintenance easements will also be granted to CDID at the Lagoon site to ensure future access to their Ditch 10, and at the Fishers Lane site to ensure future access to the Cowlitz River levee. Attached are drawings showing the proposed property transfers and easements.
