RE: Approval of Jurisdictional Offer 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, A R Properties is not willing to sell their property for the price 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 may challenge this purchase price in
circuit court should they so choose. The following information pertains to this property:

RECOMMENDATION
I recommend approval of the jurisdictional offer in the amount of $126,000.
