Commissioners authorize eminent domain for Arcadia parcel and approve $1.64M payment to 911 center contractor
Summary
The board voted to begin eminent domain proceedings for Parcel 24 in Arcadia (1381 E. 236th St.) and approved Payment Application No. 4 to BW Construction for $1,642,501.42 related to the county's 911 Communications Center project.
At its Jan. 13 meeting the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners authorized the commencement of eminent domain (condemnation) proceedings for parcel number 24, identified in the record as 1381 East 236th Street in Arcadia, after staff said uniform acquisition offers and other acquisition attempts were exhausted.
County staff described the parcel as necessary for project purposes and told commissioners there was no reasonable alternative other than condemnation; a motion to initiate eminent-domain proceedings was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote.
Separately, the board approved a disbursement request and Payment Application No. 4 from BW Construction for work on the 911 Communications Center in the amount of $1,642,501.42. Director of Administration Lee Buckingham presented the invoice and requested signatures; commissioners approved the payment by motion and voice vote.
Both actions were recorded on the meeting docket and carried after discussion on the record; the eminent domain authorization signals the county intends to proceed with condemnation steps if acquisition negotiations remain unsuccessful, and the BW disbursement advances the county’s capital project work at the 911 center.
