Please read item 20. The report of the Seattle Public Utilities and Neighborhoods Committee Agenda Item number 20 Council Bill 118359 relating to the Seattle Public Utilities declaring certain real property rights as being surplus to the city's municipal utility needs, granting an easement to Burlington Northern Railway Company for limited purposes over and across the city. Siebert, Cedar River Pipeline number four, right of way. King County Assessor Parcel Number 0005800017. The committee recommends the bill pass. Thank you, Councilmember Banks. Yeah, thank you very much. This legislation is needed for a 30 by 50 foot easement over the city's Bow Lake water transmission pipeline, which for those of you who may not know exactly where it is, it's down near Tukwila and very close to the sound transfer. The sound transit station, the sounder station is expanding. And we are going to need to provide an opportunity for the Burlington Northern Easement to be made. What happens here is that the track will be provided, an additional track will be added, and the city is going to benefit because the BNSF has agreed to build a protection system for the benefit of the Cedar River pipeline. Number four, the cost is estimated to be $250,000 to Burlington Northern. We reap the benefits committee recommends do pass. Thank you. Questions or comments? Please call the role on the passage of the Bill. O'Brien Rasmussen Solent picture guy Gordon Carroll and President Burgess High seven in favor and unopposed. The bill passes and the chair will sign it. Is there any other business to come before the council? Seeing none. We are adjourned. Thank you.
