2250 and 2238 East 97th Street / 2269 East 99th Place / Quitclaim of Sanitary Sewer Easement (Accelerated Procedure)
Council File 26-0709
Brief
The Bureau of Engineering has initiated an accelerated procedure to quitclaim (formally release) a sanitary sewer easement affecting three properties on East 97th Street and East 99th Place in South Los Angeles. The file was transmitted to the Public Works Committee on May 12, 2026, and remains pending committee review. Quitclaiming an easement removes the city's legal claim to use or maintain infrastructure on private property, typically done when the easement is no longer needed or when property ownership changes.
Full summary
This accelerated procedure authorizes the City to quitclaim a sanitary sewer easement affecting three adjoining properties: 2250 and 2238 East 97th Street and 2269 East 99th Place. A quitclaim releases the city's legal interest in the easement, meaning the city relinquishes any retained right to access, maintain, or use that portion of the property for sewer infrastructure purposes. The Bureau of Engineering submitted the request on May 4, 2026. The use of accelerated procedure typically signals that the matter is routine, non-controversial, or uncontested, and may allow it to bypass standard committee timelines and move directly to Council floor consideration if the Public Works Committee approves. The file was transmitted to the Public Works Committee Clerk on the same day it was formally submitted to the City Clerk. As of the most recent activity on May 12, 2026, the file remains in committee, awaiting review and recommendation. The file will expire on May 12, 2028, if no further action is taken.
