Scope of Work:
The Fulton County Public Works Department received a request from Union City to transfer the ownership and maintenance responsibilities for the Deerhaven subdivision sanitary sewer system to Union City. This area was initially permitted by Fulton County when Union City did not have the ability to maintain the sanitary sewer system. However, Union City now has the staff to maintain the sanitary sewer system and would like to maintain it in a consistent manner with Union City’s maintenance of other subdivisions located in Union City. Approval of the Board of Commissioners is being requested to formalize the transfer of real property rights and the terms of the donation.
Community Impact: Approval of this Resolution will transfer the ownership and maintenance responsibilities of the sanitary sewer within the Deerhaven Subdivision to Union City. This action will not adversely impact the residents of that community.
Department Recommendation: The Public Works Department recommends approval of the Resolution to convey the requested real property (sanitary sewer) rights to the municipality of Union City.
Project Implications: Without approval of this Resolution the ownership and maintenance responsibilities of the Deerhaven subdivision sanitary sewer will remain with Fulton County’s Public Works Department.
Community Issues/Concerns: No community issues or concerns have been identified.
Department Issues/Concerns: The Public Works Department has not identified any issues or concerns.
