Report
Summary
The real property proposed to be acquired will be a dual purpose site. The property will remain a well production site for future use, and it will also be used as an air treatment facility, via air extraction from the sewer system that runs along the 39th Avenue interceptor. The project proposes to install a biofilter that will treat foul air in the sewer and at the same time create a vacuum in the system to prevent air from escaping, which assists in addressing community concerns regarding odor control.
Further request the City Council to grant an exception pursuant to Phoenix City Code section 42-20 to authorize inclusion in the documents pertaining to this transaction of indemnification and assumption of liability provisions that otherwise would be prohibited by Phoenix City Code section 42-18, as the Maricopa County Flood Control District's Certificate of Purchase and other form documents include such provisions.
Location
One parcel is located south of Dalphin Road on 39th Lane, and the other is located at 10030 N. 39th Ave. Maricopa County Assessor's parcel numbers (APNs) are shown in Attachment A.
Financial Impact
Acquisition will be within Maricopa County Flood Control District's appraised fair market value. The City will be given the opportunity to review the appraisal.
