NOV 2 41 28 Boob 76 F 1.56 Chairman Scurlock believed we must realize that as the impact fees are escalated to take care of the additional R/W, we will have less and less R/W donated, and we, therefore, must accept that we are going to hay.e to pay for R/W. Commissioner Bird did not question that, but just felt the word may be getting.out that if you negotiate with'the county, you can get the appraised value plus the expenses we would pay if we went to court, and he felt possibly we should challenge a few of these so it doesn't seem we are setting a pattern. Attorney Vitunac did not feel we will have this problem in the future very much because of the change in state law that allows us to make an offer of judgment and we pay attorney's fees only up to that point. He believed on a property of this size and price, however, they could very well win in court. Attorney Vitunac assured the Board that in the future we will have an aggressive negotiating policy and contest valuations, but staff all concur this is the best way to settle this particular parcel. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. M.
