Special Meeting
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1997 -- 9 A.M.
COUNCIL CHAMBERS / CITY HALL / ONE CIVIC SQUARE
MEMBERS PRESENT: Mayor James Brainard; Board Members Mary Ann Burke and Billy
Walker. Deputy Clerk Rebecca Wolf also attended.

CLOSINGS:
Joe Staehler, director of the Department of Administration, stated he was approaching the board
about two properties on which the city was intending to close for the Hazel Dell Parkway project.
Planning Attorney John Molitor explained he and Mr. Staehler were asking the board to grant
them authority to settle the closings for the Hunt and Fuller properties. Mr. Staehler explained
the city had offered the Hunts $299,560, but that the Hunts had received a bona fide offer from a
developer of $345,000. He stated the city had offered the Fullers $88,255, but that the price had
increased to about $107,750 because of market demands. Mr. Molitor confirmed the prices and
stated none of the offers received by the property owners was conditional on rezoning.
Mr. Molitor estimated that the prices he and Mr. Staehler wanted authority to pay for the
properties were about 15 percent and 20 percent higher than the original amounts offered,
respectively. Board Members discussed whether they should approve a higher amount to give
Mr. Staehler and Mr. Molitor room to negotiate. The board decided that was not necessary.
Mayor Brainard moved to give Mr. Staehler and Mr. Molitor authority to pay the followine
amounts: $345.000 for the Hunt property and $107.750 for the Fuller property. Board Member
Walker seconded. Board members discussed with Mr. Staehler which properties had been
purchased and which still were being negotiated. The motion to grant authority to Mr. Staehler
and Mr. Molitor to pay beyond the appraised amounts for the properties was approved 3-0.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:17 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
