Drumheller Resiliency and Flood Mitigation project director Deighen Blakely presented council with a request for decision to begin expropriation processes for a property in East Coulee, which is required to proceed with construction of the East Coulee Phase 2 berm.
Ms. Blakely explained all negotiations since November 2022 for buyout have so far been rejected by the landowner. To expedite the process, it is being recommended to proceed with expropriation at Fair Market Value for the property, to be determined by an appraisal.
Council approved moving forward with the expropriation process.
