A review of the "where- as" clauses will illustrate the background pertinent to the action being requested. Approval of the quit claim transfer as proposed herein does not resolve the city's current difficulties regarding easements, but does dispose of a matter that should have been taken care of long ago. RECOMMENDATION: Approve as drafted. EMC/mc
