  A. Lone Star School sign easement agreement Vote Ilya Soroka 5 m
   

The City of Jacksonville has requested that the school sign an easement agreement regarding a road expansion on Lone Star Road. Upon further investigation, the facts of the easement have indicated that the city wants to use Global's pond capacity in order to mitigate the stormwater retention coming off of the future expansion of Lone Star Road. After sending this easement to Melissa Arnold, she indicated that we engage a separate eminent domain attorney, Bruce Humphrey. Mr. Humphrey reviewed the proposal from the city and acknowledged that the City of Jacksonville is proposing to take the school's water pond capacity and use it for their own project. This will require fair compensation for the school's pond rights. This was communicated back to the City of Jacksonville, and the City of Jacksonville acknowledged this use of our pond. They have indicated they will come back with a compensation proposal and a future maintenance agreement that will help with the costs of maintaining the pond.

Recommendation to appoint Ilya Soroka as Director of Development with Outreach Education to represent Goca Properties related to the City of Jacksonville pond rights project. Engage Bruce Humphrey as needed as eminent domain and real estate counsel regarding this issue.
