Also at the Plymouth meeting, the council discussed whether or not the City could take eminent domain actions on a 20 foot wide permanent pipeline easement and a 25 foot temporary construction easement across from the AT&T property in Sutter Creek. The public hearing opened up with the opportunity for the property owner or a representative of the owner to voice their objection, none were voiced and the statutory hearing was closed. Public comment was opened with questions arising on who would actually own and operate the pipeline in question. The Pipeline Project would be fully owned and operated by the AWA. To adopt the Resolution of Necessity, an authorization to file eminent domain action for the easements in a 4/5 vote was necessary from council.
