SCHEDULED MATTER:
Mayor Olson asked Dave Kingston to present information to the council.
Dave Kingston represented ExxonMobil Pipeline Company, 12851 East 166 Street, in Cerritos,
California. He stated that the original temporary easement allowed for the construction of the new
pipeline crossing the Yellowstone River. ExxonMobil has now been directed by various government
agencies to extract the existing pipeline from the river. To do that, ExxonMobil needed to amend
the existing easement to include the language that additional work would be conducted on
—
ExxonMobil's behalf. The temporary construction easement exhibit needed to be modified and is
attached to Amendment No. 1. ExxonMobil agreed to increase the daily consideration for the
easement with the City of Laurel from $1,000 a day to $1,200 a day. Additional language has been
included in the amendment that allows the city to conduct work on its behalf for potential survey and
engineering necessary for the design of the city's proposed levee.
• Resolution No. R11 -101: A resolution approving Amendment No. 1 to the Temporary
Construction Easement between the City of Laurel and ExxonMobil Pipeline Company
and authorizing the Mayor to execute the Amendment on the City's behalf.
