Report
Summary
This Salt River Project (SRP) Land License is a replacement of an existing license that was entered into for work associated with a pedestrian crossing over the Grand Canal and allowed the City to construct, maintain and utilize a bicycle and pedestrian bridge within USA Fee Property. The original license was executed on May 1, 2012, and was for a ten-year term with two auto-renewal terms of five years each. Due to administrative changes with allowable terms on licenses for USA Fee Property, SRP is requesting termination of the existing license and approval to enter into a new license that carries an appropriate term format.
