  • In order to vacate or abandon any easement, an ordinance declaring the intent of the city to vacate or abandon the easement which in the judgment of the city council is no longer useful or necessary for public use and convenience shall be passed by the council. The ordinance shall authorize the chief procurement officer to sell such easement for the fair market value thereof, as determined by an appraisal, or for the actual costs to the city, based upon a per-square-foot proration of the city's costs plus the cost of any city improvements to the property covered by the easement, whichever is greater. However, nothing in this section shall prevent the city from selling a permanent easement as part of the sale of land owned by the city, which land is appurtenant to the easement.
