Patek, Director of Public Works DATE: June 20, 2013 RE: Approval of Jurisdictional Offer for the Upgrade to the Public Works Field Operations Facility BACKGROUND On July 10, 2012, the Common Council approved a relocation order relating to the purchase of property located adjacent to the existing Central Garage at 639 Witzel Avenue, The upgrade to this facility requires the acquisition of adjoining properties located on West 3 Avenue and South Campbell Road. ANALYSIS Our right-of-way acquisition consultant has reviewed the property value for this parcel with the property owner. At this time, the property owner is not willing to sell the 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 the 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: Property Owner 688 West 3 Avenue Richard L. Gabert Initial Offer Revised Offer Owner Request $69,700 $80,000 $98,000 FISCAL IMPACT Funding for this acquisition is included in the "Property Improvements" section of the Capital Improvement Program.
