The City is authorized to acquire easements, equitable servitudes, and right-of-way
interests in real property by grant, purchase, gift, devise, contract, or eminent
domain. This shall include the acquisition of negative easements such as conservation
easements. Per Section 219(6) of the Charter, all such acquisitions must be authorized
by an ordinance enacted by the City Council, except as provided for below.
Notwithstanding the above, the City Administrator is delegated the full and complete
authority to acquire any easements, equitable servitudes, and right-of-way interests
in real property if the purchase price for such interest does not exceed one hundred
thousand ($100,000.00). The City Administrator or his or her designee is authorized
to negotiate and execute all documents necessary for the acquisition of such interests
and take other actions necessary to complete such acquisition, provided that the funds
have been appropriated for the acquisition. No further City Council action is required
for such acquisitions.
