Seven parcels have been identified for acquisition, ~d the City has acquired four of these parcels.

The City Attorney needs to advise on the probable cost of eminent domain proceeding on this parcel. Parcel 3 -Mr. Thomas Auel has been offered $6,000, following an initial offer of $4,400 based upon the City's approval. The Committee recommended the City wait for a response from Mr. Auel. Parcel 7 is owned by Lowell Vasseur. The Committee recommended increasing the City's offer from $48,000 to $54,200 due to a revised appraisal from the City's appraiser which has been provided for Council review. Parcel 4 is owned by Kenneth Volkman. The City has offered $40,248 for a partial taldng of this property. The Volkmans are obtaining their own appraisal. The Committee recommended continuing to negotiate with the Volkmans, and suggested a total purchase of the property would be viewed favorably by the City, with a flexible vacation date if that is agreeable to the VoLkmans. Councitmember Hendr/ksen asked about the approximate cost of the imminent domain proceeding from parcel #2. City Attorney Goodrich responded on June 1, the court increased salaries. He noted the Commissioners would meet three times for about $3,000. He stated there needs to be a formal appraisal for $1,000. He estimated the t°tal cost to be $5,000.
