October 27, 2026 · City Council
Purchase of a permanent drainage easement for the Whites Canyon Detention Basin
Pending
The council was to consider buying a permanent drainage easement of about 4.06 acres for $142,100 from Panorama Holdings LLC, at $35,000 an acre. The basin was built in the 1970s by the state and the city, but staff found no record of an easement ever being granted, and said the city has not been able to access the basin for several years.
