Discussion and possible action to adopt RES. 2024-40 authorizing the City Manager to execute a Dedication of Public Roadway at the northwest corner of 107^th Avenue and Rose Garden Lane.

The City received Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Funding from MAG to prepare the design, acquire right-of-way and construct intersection improvements and a new traffic signal at 107^th Avenue and Rose Garden Lane.  The City has since entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the State (Arizona Department of Transportation) to ensure that the City complies with all federal design, land acquisition and construction processes. As part of this IGA, the City is responsible for acquiring all land rights necessary for the project.

The design is nearly complete and the project team has identified the land rights necessary to construct the proposed improvements.  Last month, Council approved a Resolution authorizing the acquisition of the land rights from the privately owned parcels.  This request seeks authorization to grant a Dedication of Public Roadway from the City owned parcel at the northwest corner of the intersection to accommodate the placement of traffic signal equipment and installation/relocation of any necessary public utilities.

• August 2022 – City Council approved ADOT IGA
• April 16, 2024 – Council approved the adoption of Resolution No 2024-22 authorizing the acquisition of the property rights to accommodate the traffic signal improvements

There is no fiscal impact to the City associated with the granting of this land right.
