I question why they sent you a 1099-NEC, as if you were a contractor working for city, as opposed to a 1099-MISC, which would be just a miscellaneous payment.
Did they actually pay you $22,800? I can understand the payment for the easement but what was the "Replacement Cost Brick Mailboxes (2)"? Did they have to take out your mailbox so they were reimbursing you for that?
You want to call them and ask them why they sent you a 1099-NEC instead of a 1099-MISC.
