HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 18 - DART License AgreementsMEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER'`%1'
MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 16, 2016
SUBJECT: DART LICENSE AGREEMENTS
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council consider approving Revised License Agreements for six City Pipeline
Crossings of the DART Railroad right-of-way, authorize City Staff to execute said
License Agreements, and take any necessary action.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funds are available in the amount of $5,206 for these license payments in FY 16 and
will be budgeted accordingly for future annual payments in the Wastewater Collection
and Water Distribution Operating Budget accounts.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
DART has concluded that licensed crossings of their railroad right-of-ways should
require an annual fee. The six crossings addressed in this memo are City water and
wastewater lines that cross the railroad right-of-way at locations other than at street
crossings. Railroad crossings by our water and wastewater lines in combination with
street crossings are not charged a fee.
The fees for the six crossings are based upon the size of the line. Since this is a new
approach implemented by DART, they have chosen to address existing licensed
crossings with a graduated fee schedule. This is intended to reduce the financial impact
to the City. The payments would begin on June 1, 2016 and increasing annually to the
final annual fee on June 1, 2020 for five currently licensed crossings. One of the
existing crossings does not currently have a license in place and will be treated as a new
license. New crossings will be charged the total fee for the crossing from the outset.
The complete payment schedule is attached.
Staff recommends approval.
