for the Middle Sound Sewer Project. The District was recently informed that one of the two owners had died without
a will. There are four possible heirs and the attorney does not know where they live. The remaining owner has agreed
to work with the District; however, condemnation may be necessary to close the easement within a reasonable length
of time since all of the owners may not be located. Staff will continue to work with the attorney to try to obtain the
easement.

Motion:
District Commissioner Caster MOVED, SECONDED by District Commissioner Boseman, to adopt the
