Initiate Eminent Domain Proceedings for Hawkins Pond Easements
In order to insure we complete Hawkins fond this year Staff is requesting that
Council initiate eminent domain proceedings (condemnation) . The initiation of
condemnation proceedings will set a deadline when the City may begin this
project. We have set out our appraisers recommendation for compensation to all
property owners. As of this date, Mr. Strese has indicated that he wants an
extraordinary amount for his easement, in my opinion. The Hawkins have signed a
right -of -entry. The Andersons are still considering our proposals and I have not
heard anything from the Allens.
By initiating the condemnation proceedings, the City may begin construction on
Hawkins Pond project within 90 days of filing the action. If we filed on the
first of June then we would be able to begin construction no later than the first
of September. We can still negotiate with the property owners throughout these
90 days. We can start earlier because we do have the right -of -entry from Mr.
Hawkins, which consists of most of, the project. In recent discussions with Mr.
Strese, I am doubtful he will authorize a right -of -entry to proceed with the
project.
Our City Attorney, Dave Grannis, will be present to answer any questions you may
have regarding the condemnation or eminent domain proceedings and procedure.
