Council adopts Resolution 2203 to begin property acquisition for R Street roadway improvements
Summary
Resolution 2203 was adopted to declare the necessity to acquire property for the R Street roadway improvements project (Pine to Center); staff reiterated that condemnation would only occur if negotiations fail.
Council adopted Resolution 2203, which declares the necessity of acquiring property through imminent-domain action to construct the planned R Street roadway improvements from Pine to Center Street.
Staff said the resolution is part of a set of similar items that permit the city to proceed with right-of-way negotiations and preserve project timelines. During council discussion members asked clarifying questions and then voted to adopt the resolution by roll-call; the record shows yes votes and the resolution passed.
As with the other two resolutions, staff emphasized that condemnation ordinances would be a later step only if negotiations reach an impasse. The action gives staff authority to continue negotiations and to move to formal condemnation procedures only if necessary to deliver the road improvements.
