Alderman Tutor announces the review of the City of Wilmington’s Non-Binding Letter of Intent to acquire Easement (Buck Property). The Mayor speaks about the how they need the Buck’s property for a storm sewer drain. Ridge wants the City to own it so that way if there is a problem they come to us to fix it. Basically they are going to pay to put it in and there will be a road on top of it. Wellner: The Buck’s are the owners of record for that parcel. Meeting on July 12 to go over the details. Butler: Who is making the payments of the $175k Mayor: Ridge pays everything Wellner: the City would be taking on the liability of having to maintain it over the course of the years. Other than the liability that comes with
that, there would be nothing that the City would have to do.

Attorney’s Report
in any municipality township or otherwise in the rights of way, on utility poles and street polls and then outside of rights a way of any commercial or industrial zoned property. And it pretty much says we don’t have the ability to deny them wanting them to put these devices on our property we only have the ability to regulate it and its limited on how we can regulate it. It was passed in June. We can probably take in application fees. Mayor: I got a call from a gentleman who wants to do that. Wellner: The statute provides the exact amount of the fee’s that we can ask for. I have the ordinance in front of me; it just needs to go thru one last review.
Adjournment
Motion to adjourn the meeting made by Alderman Tutor and seconded by Alderman Kirwin. Upon voice vote, the motion carried. The Regular Meeting of the City of Wilmington City Council held on July 3, 2018 adjourned at 7:20 p.m.
