Commissioners O'Bryan and Wheeler wanted the Motion (to ignore the <br />Murphy Reservation and pay full appraised value for the properties), to be applied Countywide. <br />Chairman Bowden stated that she assumed that this item applied to 66th <br />Avenue, as presented in the backup, and she wanted to keep the vote on that issue. She would be <br />happy to re -agenda this item. <br />Attorney DeBraal alerted the Board to the probability of people learning that <br />the Murphy Reservations on 66th Avenue had been ignored, and coming before the Commission <br />to demand payment for a Murphy Reservation which had already been utilized by the County, <br />and for which they had not received compensation. <br />County Budget Director Jason Brown felt that going backwards and <br />compensating for previously utilized Murphy Reservations could be potentially financially <br />disastrous for the County. <br />A brief discussion ensued between the Board and staff regarding whether there <br />would be a Statute of Limitations for payment on the Murphy Reservations, and how a lawsuit in <br />inverse condemnation could be brought by the landowner against the County, if someone wanted <br />to challenge the County not compensating on other road projects. <br />retroactively. <br />Mr. Zito advised that the County could try to make Option 4 not apply <br />John Jackson, 6855 66th Avenue, asserted that the County has already paid for <br />some of the Murphy Reservations; thus, people who have never received compensation for their <br />Murphy Reservations, would have just cause to sue the County. <br />58 <br />August 12, 2008 <br />
