IV. NEW BUSINESS
A. CONSIDERATION OF HIRING OF AN APPRAISER TO DETERMINE THE VALUE OF
NECESSARY PROPERTY TO EXTEND SAN PABLO TO EL PASEO.
Mr. Hurlburt stated that in order that this might be a^mutually
acceptable purchase of property between the City and the present
property owners, staff had attempted to locate an appraiser
acceptable to both. He further stated that several appraisers
in the Valley had been interviewed as well as 2 from outside
the Valley. As a result of this, Mr. Robert G. Hill had been
selected, subject to the Agency's approval, as the appraiser.
Mr. Hurlburt indicated that initially staff had felt that his
rates were high but in researching found that for the services
he will supply, it is worthwhile.
Member Seidler asked if Mr. Hill was mutually acceptable to both
the City and the property owner and Mr. Hurlburt stated that he
was.
Member Newbrander asked if there was only one piece of property
involved and Mr. Hurlburt responded that there was only one.
Member Seidler stated that it was important that the City proceed
with obtaining the necessary information for the extension of
San Pablo.
Member Seidler moved to select Robert G. Hill as the appraiser and authorize
the Executive Director to enter into a contract for services not to exceed $750.
Member Mullins seconded the motion; motion carried unanimously.
Member Seidler asked whether or not a time table had been put
together. Mr. Hurlburt indicated that staff had not had time
to develop a precise schedule. We don't know if we can move
through it as a mutual type agreement; we don't know what the
schedule of the developer is; and we don't have complete control.
Mr. Hurlburt stated that he hoped that things would move ahead with
a friendly purchase within the next two months and proceed from
there. Staff will have to come to the Redevelopment Agency again
for approval of an engineer for the project. The engineer will
provide the costs of the road and recommendation of appropriation
of costs between the property owners and the City. Mr. Hurlburt
concluded with that at this point, there is no reason why the
project could not be completed this year.
ADJOURNMENT
Member Seidler moved and Member Mullins seconded that the meeting be
adjourned; motion carried unanimously. Chairman Shush adjourned the meeting at
