Analysis
This ordinance authorizes the Metropolitan Department of Water and Sewerage Services to enter into a license agreement with Cumberland River Compact (CRC) for the installation and maintenance of the Bandalong Bandit Litter Trap in Sevenmile Creek at 497 Paragon Mills Road.
Under the license agreement, CRC would install a Bandalong Bandit Litter Trap in Sevenmile Creek at 497 Paragon Mills Road. CRC would anchor, install, and maintain the trap on the property and the trap would skim lightweight litter from the surface of the stream. The license would allow CRC to access the property in order to access the trap. CRC could not alter, improve, or place any permanent structures on the property without the written consent of Metro.
The term of the license would be one year but could be extended by letter agreement. The license agreement would be effective upon approval of the Council and filing with the Metropolitan Clerk.
Amendments to this legislation could be approved by resolution.
