_I <br />$125,000. The attorneys have couched these offers in terms of <br />ranges because although they have taken the testimonies from the <br />other side's experts, they have not completely settled on where it <br />should be. They would like to talk to our own appraisers and have <br />them evaluate some of the weak points and the high points, but they <br />must make an offer prior to July 2, and because there will not be <br />a meeting next week on June 30, this matter was added as an <br />emergency item to today's Agenda. They believe it is in the best <br />interests of the County to try and cut short some of the litigation <br />expenses or at least make an offer so that if the jury comes in <br />below it we won't n t have toa <br />p y those expenses. <br />Attorney Collins noted that parcel 108 has a very wide range <br />in the appraisals compared to parcel 110, the reason being that <br />parcel 110 is a whole take whereas parcel 108 has some remainder in <br />the issue of severance damages and what its value is to the <br />remaining parcel before and after the take. That is more open to <br />judgment. Staff is requesting the Board's authorization to make <br />these offers. <br />Commissioner r Bird asked how this fits into the cost estimates <br />for the right-of-way needs for the Boulevard, and Director Davis <br />explained that we placed our appraisal value with the court when <br />the order of take was issued so the additional monies of $350,000 <br />have been considered in our budget for the project and monies are <br />set aside for that. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously (4-0, <br />Commissioner Bowman being absent) approved staff's <br />recommendation that authorization be given'to the <br />attorneys to make offers on all three parcels, as <br />set out by Attorney Collins. <br />67 <br />
