�I-EETING <br />TO: Mayor and City Council � � I' Z M5 <br />1 % <br />FROM: Mark Bernhardson, City Administrat:, ORONO <br />DATE: July 17, 1985 <br />SUBJECT: Donation of Easement Policy <br />It has been proposed by one of the residents in the Crystal Bay <br />neighborhood that instead of requesting payment for the easement <br />granted that it would be as advantageous, if perhaps not more so, <br />that he donate the easement to the City and then based on a <br />donation to the City take the appropriate value off from their <br />1985 income tax. The City does posess the power to accept such <br />donations however it appears to be general practice that the City <br />does not acknowledge the value of that property but leaves such <br />up to the donator and the IRS. <br />It is recommended that the Council adopt such an acceptance <br />donation policy for easements in an effort to reduce the actual <br />cost for gaining easements together with possibily giving various <br />residents an avenue to have net gain from such an easement. <br />Should you have any further questions or comments please feel <br />free to contact me. <br />
