Gappa <br />Title Director of Public Services <br />Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: <br />Engineer's Report <br />Item Description: Acquisition of Additional City Property <br />As a result of the discussion at the July 8th Council work session, we have prepared a map <br />showing the location of property for possible acquisition for future City purposes. The intent of <br />this land purchase is to preserve this property for future City use. The property is currently <br />undeveloped, and once this property is developed future acquisition would be extremely difficult <br />and expensive. <br />We are recommending that the first steps in this process should be to have a wetland delineation <br />completed, to determine the dry area available, and to obtain an appraisal to determine the fair <br />market value for this property. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Motion to authorize ob taining a wetland delineation, at an estimated cost of $1,500, for additional <br />land east of the existing City Office Complex for future City use, wetland delineation cost to be <br />funded from General Fund, Special Projects and Contingencies Budget, Other Professional <br />Services Line Item with a budget adjustment to reflect the $1,500 expenditure. <br />Motion to authorize obtaining an appraisal, at an estimated cost of $2,000, for additional land <br />east of the existing City Office Complex for future City use, appraisal cost to be funded from the <br />General Fund, Special Projects and Contingencies Budget, Other Professional Services Line Item <br />with a budget adjustment to reflect the $2,000 expenditure.
