Council accepts appraisals to begin easement negotiations for North Huntington Street project
Summary
Council authorized staff to accept fair-market appraisals and begin negotiations to acquire five easements for phase 3 of the North Huntington Street reconstruction; emergency clause adopted to start negotiations promptly.
Medina City Council on July 14 accepted fair-market appraisals and authorized staff to begin acquisition negotiations for five easements needed to complete phase 3 of the North Huntington Street reconstruction. Council adopted the ordinance with the requested emergency clause to allow negotiations to start immediately.
City Engineer Patton said accepting the appraisals authorizes the city’s right-of-way acquisition consultants to make offers. “By accepting these appraisals, we are authorizing our right away design acquisition consultants, to make these offers to these folks,” Patton said, noting the city would like to start negotiations right away to secure the easements.
The ordinance (01/25/25) and the emergency clause passed on roll call 7-0. The meeting transcript does not include appraisal dollar amounts, names of property owners or the schedule for closing; Patton said five easements will be needed for the reconstruction phase. Staff follow-up will be required to publish the offers and any necessary relocation or construction schedule details.
