• NTMWD new lift station will transfer up to 64 MGD of flow to the Sister Grove Creek Regional Water Resources Recovery Facility, and will be sized to accommodate expansion up to 128 MGD, allowing or refined operational control and a more consistent and efficient delivery of flow throughout NTMWD’s South Transmission System.
• NTMWD has offered to purchase the Property in fee simple for the appraised value of $154,000.00.
• McKinney contracted their own appraisal to ensure that NTMWD’s offer to purchase was for Fair Market Value. The City’s appraisal report confirmed that a valuation of $154,000.00 was indeed Fair Market Value.
• Staff recommends selling the Property to NTMWD, for the following reasons:
o The proposed NTMWD lift station site will benefit the surrounding community by generating a more consistent and efficient flow.

o Approximately 85% of the Property is situated in the 100-year floodplain and floodway.
o McKinney has no current or proposed use for the Property.
o The City will no longer be required to maintain and mow the Property.
