Commissioners approve multiple right-of-way offers for Oak Hill Road reconstruction
Summary
The board approved administrative settlements and a package of right-of-way purchase offers for the Oak Hill Road reconstruction project and corrected a parcel identification before final vote.
Vanderburgh County commissioners on Sept. 24 approved a series of right-of-way purchase offers to advance the Oak Hill Road reconstruction project between Lynch and Saint George. County staff presented an administrative settlement recommendation for Parcel 2 (ID noted in the record) to Missouri Real Estate and Insurance Agency Inc., an increase of $1,120 to bring the total offer to $5,120; commissioners approved the adjustment. Staff then read a list of eight additional right-of-way offers and multiple subsequent parcels and amounts as part of the ongoing acquisition process. Examples read into the record included a $54,150 offer to Warren Oak Hill and Lynch Property LLC (Parcel 1), a $31,000 offer to Morgan Avenue Church of Christ Inc. (Parcel 16), and a $21,000 offer to Loretta Niemeyer (Parcel 23). Commissioners recorded a correction to Parcel 18’s identification number before approving the package. The board voted to approve the offers together after staff read them into the record. Commissioners recorded unanimous support for the motion to proceed with the right-of-way acquisitions; staff will continue the acquisition process and close individual purchases per county procedures. Less critical details: the board discussed whether to read each offer into the minutes or enter them into the record; staff read all parcels aloud before a single combined vote.
