Subject: Administrative Settlement for acquisition of 1502 S. Catalpa St.
Date: October 15, 2010
This is the staff report for the administrative settlement that is needed for the acquisition of
1502 S. Catalpa St. According to the Uniform Relocation Act (Act), which has been
adopted as the Commission's relocation policy, an administrative settlement is authorized in
cases where an additional payment is necessary to acquire a property.
Before the Commission today was Resolution No. 2787, setting the offer price for this
property at $11,250, which is the average appraised value.
In discussions with the property owner, they currently have this property leased to family
members. To acquire another house for these family members, the owner will need more
that the average appraised value of this property.
The property owner has agreed to accept $25,000, an amount they feel is adequate to
replace this rental property with another income producing property.
Staff feels the acquisition cost of $25,000 is reasonable for this property, and requests your
approval of the administrative settlement to allow for the acquisition of this property.
