ITEM NO.2 - RESOLUTION ON. 211 - APPROVING CONTRACT FOR ACQUISITION SERVICES
WITH SECURITY LAND & RIGHT OF WAY SERVICES, INC.
AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
The acquisition of remaining land in the focus area is the most expensive item in
the Agency's bond proceeds budget. In order to acqui re the properti es at thei r
fair market value, it is necessary to negotiate with the owners, and if this pro-
cess fails, to institute legal action. Since there are now 14 owners to negotiate
with, staff and Special Counsel have evaluated the situation and recommended that
the Agency obtain an acquisition service to assist in the program. The fi rm of
Security Land & Right of Way Services, Inc. has been recommended for this purpose.
Agency members and staff briefly discussed the costs involved in this program.
In answer to Member Cox' query, Mr. Desrochers said that the agreement can be
terminated at any time by either party.
