30. ASSIGNMENT OF EASEMENT FROM MARICOPA COUNTY TO THE CITY OF MESA Approve and execute an Assignment of Easement from Maricopa County to the City of Mesa. This Assignment of Easement identifies a drainage easement obtained by Maricopa County as part of the County Arterials (ARTS) Project, Sub-Project No. T068, Ellsworth Road from Germann Road to Ray Road; a road widening improvement project accomplished in partnership with the City of Mesa. This improvement project was conducted in accordance with an Intergovernmental Agreement with the City of Mesa recorded in Maricopa County Records 2000-0203874 and approved by the Board of Supervisors on March 15, 2000. This drainage easement was acquired by Maricopa County in an unincorporated Maricopa County lying within Section 34 of Township One (1) South, Range Seven (7) East. Maricopa County entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement (C-64-00-169-2) with the City of Mesa to widen and reconstruct Ellsworth Road between Germann Road and Ray Road. This Intergovernmental Agreement was approved by the Board of Supervisors on March 15, 2000 and was recorded in Maricopa County Records 2000-0203874. As part of this project it was necessary to acquire roadway right-of-way and drainage easements for the improvement of Ellsworth Road. Per the Intergovernmental Agreements Maricopa County was the lead agency in acquiring the right-of-way and easements. The City of Mesa, per said Intergovernmental Agreements, is required to annex the right-of-way and operate and maintain the roadway after completion of the project, which has occurred. A drainage easement acquired by Maricopa County and recorded in Maricopa County Records 2008-0853012 is located in an area that Mesa is unable to annex. The City has agreed to accept operation and maintenance of this drainage easement and in order to facilitate this operation and maintenance of said drainage easement it is necessary for the County to transfer the Drainage Easement rights obtained by Maricopa County to the City of Mesa. Thirty day legal advertising notification has been met. Supervisor District No. 2 (C-64-13-039-M-00)
