Fr -' <br />SAN 2 , `S?6 <br />Boal• 6 7 F"!1F 46 <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, to authorize staff to purchase <br />parcel #135 (Forum) at the counter-offer of $9,324 <br />in lieu of condemnation. <br />Chairman Scurlock noted that this is kind of after -the -fact. <br />inasmuch as the Commission authorized going to condemnation and <br />this is a counter offer. <br />Commissioner Wheeler asked whether we paid to have this <br />property appraised in the past, and Mr. Finney confirmed that we <br />paid Armfield & Associates for an appraisal. <br />Commissioner Wheeler stated that if they negotiate before we <br />spend money to appraise, he is for it, but he felt we may be <br />better off just to condemn and go to court as it may be cheaper <br />in the long run rather than continuing to negotiate. <br />Chairman Scurlock noted that until they get an appraisal, <br />they generally don't want to negotiate, and if we go to condemna- <br />tion, we are not only responsible for the award, but also for all <br />the litigation of the other side, which can be dragged out <br />considerably. <br />Attorney Vitunac advised that he is meeting February 5th <br />with a group interested in finding out how we can change this law <br />as it has been recognized there is a need. <br />Commissioner Wheeler stated that based on this advice, he <br />would concur with the purchase. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. <br />It was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />REVISED DESIGN WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM - 12TH ST. &_7TH <br />- --?I TO 6TH AVE. & REFUND TO VATLAND <br />Utilities Director Pinto reviewed staff memo, as follows: <br />46 <br />
