LIQUOR LICENSES BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES COUNCIL ACTION Al Resolution No. 2024-028: Relating to Real Property; approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute the Right of Entry and Settlement Agreement with Mandarina Holdings, LLC regarding the Town's use of property located in the Mandarina development as a public parking lot (Jane Fairall) Town Attorney Jane Fairall presented on this item. She explained that in April of 2021, the Town constructed a temporary parking lot for the Central Arizona Project (CAP) trailhead. She said the Town intended to build the parking lot within the Town's right- of-way for Adonis Road, but that around an acre of the project ended up being built on Mandarina Holdings, LLC's property without their permission. Ms. Fairall said Town staff recently discovered the error, and that the proposed agreement would give the Town a right of entry to go onto the property to remove the encroachments,consisting of paving, bollards, and other improvements, and would compensate Mandarina for the three years the Town used the property. Total compensation would be in the amount of $66,000.00. Mayor Honea commented that the Town should send Mandarina a bill for half of the cost of Adonis Road,which the Town constructed at its own expense through the Mandarina development. He said he was not happy with this, but that he ultimately would support it. Council Member Ziegler moved to adopt Resolution No. 2024-028. Council Member Kai seconded the motion. Motion passed, 5-0.
