A Resolution Approving a Negotiated Settlement of the Cost of Acquisition of Certain Interests in Real
Estate for the East Magnolia Improvement Project and Authorizing the Dismissal of the City’s Eminent
Domain Petition Upon Closing.
BACKGROUND:
As authorized and directed by Ordinance No. 11-10625, the City’s legal counsel filed a verified petition
in eminent domain for the acquisition of certain in terests in real estate, including right-of-way,
permanent drainage easement, and temporary cons truction easement necessary for the East
Magnolia Road improvement project. The affected real estate is owned by Mrs. Vonna Olson and her
sons, Gary Olson and David Olson. Prior to the District Court hearing on the verified petition and the
Court’s appointment of a panel of appraisers, the City was able to reach a tentative settlement with the
property owners calling for compensation to be paid for the interests in real estate in the amount of
$24,000, subject to formal, public approvalof the negotia ted settlement by the governing body.
Following the closing on the negotia ted acquisition, the City’s petiti on in eminent domain can be
dismissed.
FISCAL NOTE:
The proposed compensation for the interests in real estate to be acquired will be paid from the East
Magnolia Road improvement project budget. Settlement of the matter eliminates further expense to
the City associated with completion of the eminent domain process.
COMMISSION ACTION:
Approve Resolution 12-6873.
