AGENDA ITEM # 9 - AUTHORIZATION TO EXPEND FUNDS ON AERIALMAPS AND PARALEGAL SERVICES _ Mr. Farrell explained the process that was taking place in order to prepare the deeds transferring the roads to the town. He said there are often gaps between the plat maps and the best way to catch these is using aerial maps. He also said it would be a more efficient use of funds and time to hire a paralegal to research the gaps, find out who holds the deeds and that he would be willing to accept an outside cap of not to exceed $1,500 without additional council permission. If there is a question of ownership, the town could approach the oi,ner of record and ask for a dedication. If the person is unwilling the town .ould exercise the power of eminent domain or could file a plat title action or any other number of ways to obtain the title, the power of condemnation being the last but final resort. A landowner may not be aware that the road out in front of his house is not a public road and it was his understanding that the inherent feeling of the council was to have the legal transition of the title to the roads be as complete as possible. He said the paralegal would be researching assessors records to determine ownership and then taking the assessors records to the Minutes of the Town Council Page 2 of 3 recorder to purchase copies of deeds. Vice Mayor rinarsich made a MOTION authorizing the Town Manager to expend funds on 2 aerial maps of Fountain Hills, 1 mounted and suitable for framing and also to expend the funds for the services of a paralegal at the meetings determining the roads to be transferred with a cap at this point in time of not more $1,500 to be spent on that service.
