Mr. Hall explained that for the City to convey this easement to T.U.E. would be a long involved process and that the most expeditious manner in which to handle the transfer would be for the City to release the easements back to Mr. Billingsley's companies and for them to correct the mistakes and then re-convey the proper easement to the City.
