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

FISCAL IMPACT

Program.
