Presentation by Jacquelyne Wentworth on Relocation ProceduresCITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION PORT AUTHORITY COMMISSION MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 15, 1992 AGENDA ITEM: REVIEW OF RELOCATION PROCEDURES AGENDA SECTION: WORK SESSION PREPARED BY: JOHN MILLER, AGENDA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR ITEM ATTACHMENTS: CONWORTH, INC. QUALIFICATION APBXPVEP B . The Port Authority in previous action retained the firm of Lindquist and Venuum to aid in the acquisition and relocation initiated by the board. Lindquist and Venuum in turn has sub -contracted the relocation work to Conworth, Inc. a firm specializing in relocation activities. This will save the Port Authority considerable money. Jackie Wentworth has reviewed our files and begun her work with the Armory properties. I've asked her to attend the work session to give some background in the process and information on relocation costs. I believe the information she will give you is different or more precise than what you've heard in the past.
