RE: Approve Land Purchase 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
Three of the properties have been purchased by the City as of this time. The last property is owned by the
Winnebago County Housing Authority (WCHA). Our right-of-way consultant has reviewed and gotten approval
from WCHA for this acquisition by the City of Oshkosh. The following information pertains to this property
acquisition:
Property Initial Offer Agreed upon Price

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this acquisition is included in the "Property Improvement Section" of the 2011 Capital Improvement
Program.

I recommend approval of the land purchase.
Respectfully Submitted. Approovved:
