Memorandum
There is a resolution before you to approve a grant of easement to DTE Energy, a Michigan corporation, for the construction and maintenance of a storm water discharge pipe located in Gallup Park.
The drainage pipeline is for the purpose of discharging water into the Huron River and will run underground from the DTE electrical substation at Geddes and Fuller traversing the gravel access drive to the park directly to the river.

Uninterrupted access to the park must be maintained at all times under the terms of the easement.
