Approval of the Second Amendment to the Power Purchase Agreement and Easement Agreement between the City of Lincoln and Keystone Holdings, LLC.

Alderman Parrott made the motion to approve, Alderwoman Rohlfs seconded.  Mayor Welch called for discussion.

The solar company contacted Alderman Bateman to inform him that this extension will only be until June 2023.

There was discussion as to who owns the road to the entrance of Lincoln Lakes condo association.   There was a permanent easement drafted in 1973 with Lincoln Sand and Gravel. There was some concern within the council that when the council voted on approving the bridge at the Sewer Plant, it was presented that the City did not own the road and the bridge was a must have.  Assistant Fire Chief Darrin Coffey, who has lived in Lincoln Lakes for 31 years, stated that the City has never maintained that road in 31 years. The ownership of the road will be brought back to another meeting.   

There being no other discussion, City Clerk Bateman called roll.
