Pearmine FROM: Mike Hansen, Legal Counsel <br />ASSISTANT LEGAL <br />couNSE~ RE: Resolution to Condemn <br />Bruce T. Armstrong Courthouse Square Proj ect <br />TimothyT.A. Jensen Agenda Item: February 26, 1997 <br />Gloria M. Roy <br />Jane Ellen Stonecipher <br />ISSUE: Shall the Board of Commissioners adopt a resolution <br />authorizing Legal Counsel to proceed with condemnation of <br />private real property on the Senator Block in order to proceed <br />with the Courthouse Square Project? <br />BACKGROUND: The Board has previously approved the Courthouse <br />Square Project. Negotiations have been under way for some <br />time to acquire the three private parcels of real property in <br />the Senator Block. While negotiations are proceeding and the <br />project manager expects to successfully close the transac- <br />tions, time is growing short. Plans are underway to begin <br />demolition of the buildings and undertake construction this <br />summer. In order to proceed, the county must acquire control <br />of all property in the Senator Block. <br />FISCAL IMPACT: None. The county is already committed to <br />purchasing these properties. <br />OPTIONS: None feasible. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Randy Curtis, the project manager for the <br />county, and Legal Counsel recommend that the Board proceed <br />with the resolution at this time. The resolution will autho- <br />rize Legal Counsel to proceed with condemnation should that <br />become necessary to secure the property. <br />cc: Randy Curtis, Director of General Services <br />530 Center Street NE, Suite 312 • Salem, Oregon 97301-3670 •(503) 588-5220 • rax (SUSJ sis-w3o~ <br />
