RE: Approval of Jurisdictional Offers for the Quarry Park Landfill Gas Venting System Project
BACKGROUND
In May of 2010, the Common Council approved a relocation order which authorized the purchase of four
properties adjacent to the former solid waste landfill located at Quarry Park. Our consultant (AECOM) has
recommended the purchase of these properties because of the close proximity of the existing buildings to the
landfill materials.
ANALYSIS
Our right -of -way acquisition consultant is reviewing the property values with the three separate property owners.
At this time, Mr. & Mrs. Mena are not willing to sell their properties for the prices offered by the City of Oshkosh.
Per State Statutes, the next step in the eminent domain process is for the City of Oshkosh to send the property
owner a jurisdictional offer to purchase. When a jurisdictional offer is made, the City provides the property
owner with the funds for the purchase price (i.e. revised offer) we feel is appropriate and in accordance with
statutes. The City then assumes ownership of the property. The owner (in this case, Mr. and Mrs. Mena) may
challenge this purchase price in circuit court should they so choose. The following information pertains to these
properties:
Pro pert
Owner

1039 -1041 West South Park Avenue

$147,000
$180,000
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for these acquisitions is included in the "Property Improvement Section" of the 2010 and 2011 Capital
Improvement Programs.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend approval of the jurisdictional offers.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved: /
