IV. OLD BUSINESS
Sewer line easement 1206 Montgomery Street:
Mr. Martell updated the Board on the request for Sewer line easement at 1206 Montgomery
Street, stating the City of Fort Collins will not have anything to do with this as the line will start
at the existing man hole and from that point on is the owner's responsibility not the City's. Mr.
Martell will revise all documents related to the easement to insure any future maintenance of the
additional line will be the responsibility of the owner.
