Property Owner’s Concerns: The property owner is concerned with the amount of compensation being offered and the environmental indemnification language to be used in the agreement.
City’s Response to Property Owner’s Concerns: Staff informed the property owner that they could obtain an appraisal in order to justify their counter offer. We have yet to reach consensus on agreement language.
Recommendation: To avoid delay in the project schedule, staff recommends proceeding to condemnation during which time negotiations can continue, mediation is available and if necessary, just compensation can be determined by the court.
