The County has requested two (2) temporary non-exclusive easements from the City on
the City's Properties for the project. Once the County has completed the construction of
the 36-inch water main, the County will automatically release all temporary easements.

grant to the County, as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, two (2) temporary non-
exclusive easements on the City Property. The permanent easement contemplated
therein will be subject to approval at a later date.
