PROPOSITION

THE STATES are asked to decide whether they are of opinion -

  to a p p r ove the purchase from the Parish of St.  John of 1,566  square feet of land at Bonne Nuit Bay, St.  John, a

shown on Drawing No.  760/014, for the sum of£10.00, for the purpose of accommodating a packaged sewage treatment plant, with the public being responsible for all reasonable legal fees in connection with this transaction.

PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE

Report

The Public Services Committee has approved the construction of a packaged sewage treatment plant to serve the Bonne Nuit Bay area.

To accommodate the packaged sewage treatment plant, which has been constructed on land owned by, and with the approval of, the Parish of St.  John, it is proposed to acquire the area of land owned by the Parish of St.  John.

The land required measures 1566  ft.2 (145.5 m.2) and is shown on the attached Drawing No.  760/014.

The Property Services section of the Planning and Environment Committee has negotiated the acquisition of the required area of land, and the Parish of St.  John has agreed to the sale of the land to the Public for the nominal sum of£10.00, with the Public responsible for all reasonable legal fees in connection with this transaction.

The Solicitor General has confirmed that the Standing Orders normally used for the approvals for the purchase of land for sewage pumping stations cannot be utilised for approvals for the purchase of land for the purpose of the construction of a packaged sewage treatment plant. The approval of the States is therefore required.

This proposition has no financial or manpower implications for the States other than the cost of the land and the legal fees.
