Aledo ISD's real-property item is a sewer easement at Aledo Middle School for the City of Aledo, not a land donation to Parker County: 0.0204 acre (890 square feet), with a $6,230 offer from the city

By Christopher Weaver ·

The agenda lists Resolution 10202026-1 as "Authorizing the Donation of Real Property to Parker County, Texas." The board memo and draft easement posted Tuesday at 2:11 p.m. describe something narrower. The City of Aledo is "undertaking the 18-Inch Sanitary Sewer Improvement Project to upgrade an existing sanitary sewer line that has become undersized because of increased wastewater demand and aging infrastructure," and its right-of-way agent, 7Arrows Land Staff, LLC, sent an initial offer letter dated Aug. 31 "seeking a permanent sanitary sewer easement out of the Aledo Middle School tract" at 400 FM 1187. The easement runs along the campus's northwest line, shared with St. Paul Lutheran Church, next to an existing 30-foot sewer and drainage easement, and the memo says it "is not needed for current or planned campus operations."

"The City's offer is $6,230.00, stated to be based on the current tax valuation of the land," the memo says; "The District retains fee ownership." It calls the Aug. 31 letter "an initial offer, not a final offer supported by a certified appraisal." Presenter Caleb Bell, chief facilities and construction officer; administration recommended trustees let the superintendent, with legal counsel, negotiate final terms and sign the easement. The draft easement names the City of Aledo as grantee. BoardBook had not posted Tuesday night's votes as of Wednesday morning.
