RECOMMENDATION Fayetteville City Administration recommends approval of nine related resolutions authorizing the City Attorney to seek condemnation and possession of certain lands owned by the individuals and/or organizations listed on the attached pages. BACKGROUND fhe City of Fayetteville has been negotiating with land owners for easements in which to install the sewer lines that will carry wastewater flows to the new West Side Wastewater Treatment Plant. Ninety-one tracts were required; 79 have been acquired. The owners of the remaining 12 tracts have all been contacted via mail, telephone, and in person. We have verbal agreement on two, which are not on the proposed condemnation list. The owners of the remaining 10 tracts are aware of the City's intent to tum any unresolved casement purchases over to the City Attorney to initiate the condemnation process on December 1, 2005 and are included in the attached recommended condemnation list. DISCUSSION The remaining land owners generally want to he paid more money than staff feels is reasonable and appropriate. The City is paying full fee simple prices for all easements for the WSIP, based on appraisals conducted within the previous twelve months. Given that we are only obtaining an casement, and the owner still owns the land, paying more than this is not reasonable. Full fee simple is significantly greater than the casement payment offers made by the Highway Department, and every other utility. It also significantly exceeds that which the City has paid in the past for water/sewer easements. Counter offers have been made in several cases; owners have either not responded or refused the counter offer. Others are waiting for their own appraisal information in order to make a counter offer. Counter offers have included negotiated agreements pertaining to land restoration, sequencing and timing of work, etc. At this point, there can he no deviations on the selected route. BUDGET IMPACT Any condemnations filed will cost a filing fee of S 140 each. Costs for the actual easements are already approved within the 2005 WSIP budget.
