Board approves temporary easement for Mary Farmer Elementary pedestrian bridge to city of Benicia
Summary
The board approved Resolution 24-25-34 to convey a temporary easement to the city so the Mary Farmer Elementary pedestrian bridge can be replaced. The district previously approved a permanent easement near the pier and described this as a larger, temporary construction area.
The Benicia Unified School District Board of Trustees approved a resolution to convey a temporary easement to the city of Benicia to allow replacement of the Mary Farmer Elementary pedestrian bridge.
District staff presented the item as a public hearing and explained the easement covers a larger temporary construction area than a previously approved permanent easement near the pier. The recommended motion, recorded in the transcript as "approve resolution 24Dash25Dash34," passed on a roll call vote with the board recording mixed trustees as voting yes (President Grubbs, Trustee Hirsch, Trustee Musselli/Mosselli, Trustee Manasseh).
The action authorizes the city to use the temporary easement area to construct a replacement pedestrian bridge; the district presentation noted the board had previously approved a permanent easement in the pier vicinity and that this temporary area allows construction activity. No additional funding details, construction timeline or permit conditions were discussed in the open meeting record.
