RESOLUTION kTHORIZING THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
ADMINISTRATION TO MAKE OFFERS TO ACQUIRE ADDITIONAL
PROPERTIES FOR THE CULTURAL CENTER PROJECT DURING THE
SUMMER RECESS, SUBJECT TO RATIFICATION BY THE
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ON SEPTEMBER 10, 1997
FROM:
SUBJECT:
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The Administration is pursuing acquisition of the remaining parcels. While we are able to work with
some owners, others will probably end up as eminent domain cases. In the event that another
opportunity arises to acquire a property outside of eminent domain, the Administration wants the
ability to negotiate and make additional offers subject to ratification by the Commission at its
September 10, 1997 meeting.
ANALYSIS:
The Administration believes that the ability to negotiate and make offers subject to Commission
ratification would facilitate assemblage of the Cultural Center site and may provide cost savings in
light of attorney fees, other fees and costs, and the potential of higher prices for acquisition that
could be associated with the takings by eminent domain.
