STAFF ANALYSIS
At the prese nt.-time, it is necessa ry that the Ci ty consider condemnation of this property in
order to keep on th e construction time schedule for this project .
The City ha s made an offe r of fair market value based upon appraisal. We ha ve in addition
conside red certain expenses and costs that th!\ City may incur, and, likewise, these have
been offered tu the property owners.
• At the present time, the property owners do n ot believe th ey have been offered a fair sum.
It should be pointed out that the property owners have made no co unter offer .
Pnoted on Re c.,.cled Paper ~
There have been some discussion concerning the scope of th e ap praisal by the City and
there may be a need for additional appraisal work . The owners of the property have
requested sums for doing ar appraisal and pursuant to law we are required to authori ze
the same . We have authori;·ed reasonablP fees for this service . There has been some
discuss ion concerning what the reasonable fees of the appraisal for th e property are .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The financial impact of this project is consistent with that previousl y addressed in th e
Paving District approval.
