The vote was unanimous.
settlement in full of the condemnation proceeding.
Motion Carried
City Attorney Michael Spain made the following statement for the record: ?Mr.
Jung offered to settle this case for $8,000, which is just a few hundred dollars more
than the City offered to Mr. Jung in the first place. With the costs Mr. Jung has
incurred by forcing the City to use its condemnation powers (getting his own
appraisal and paying his attorney), he will likely and actually receive a good bit less
than he would have received if he had just accepted the City?s original offer.?
Mr. Spain further stated, ?My point in saying this is that, when the City needs to
acquire property for public projects, such as sewer lines or roads, we make Fair
offers based on solid appraisals. We treat property owners fairly. The City does
not use its condemnation powers lightly, only as a last resort to complete necessary
projects that benefit our citizens. I am glad that Mr. Jung offered to settle before he
incurred even more costs.
