RESOLUTION DETERMINING NECESSITY FOR ACQUISITION

ADDITION, APPROVING THE APPRAISAL, SETTING JUST
COMPENSATION AND AUTHORIZING PURCHASE OR
CONDEMNATION.
WHEREAS, it has been determined that the City of Wichita
Falls must acquire a utility easement for an existing sewer
manhole in Block 3, Midwestern Park Addition, Unit 2; and,
WHEREAS, an appraisal has been completed on the tract, and
such appraisal has been reviewed by the Property Administrator
and is now on file in the Property Management Office.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, THAT:
SECTION 1. It is necessary that the City of Wichita Falls
acquire the hereinafter described property located in Wichita
Falls, Wichita County, Texas, for the purpose of accommodating a
sewer line.
SECTION 2. The legal description of the utility easement to
be acquired is as follows:
A 7.5 foot wide strip, being 850 square feet,
out of Lot 27, Block 3, Midwestern Park, Unit
2, being further described by metes and
bounds in a field survey prepared by Biggs &
Mathews, Inc., on September 26, 1989.
SECTION 3. The amount of just compensation for the utility
easement is $1,275.00. This amount is also the fair market value
determined by Henderson Appraisal and Consultants, who were
employed by the City of Wichita Falls to appraise the tract.
SECTION 4. In the event the Property Administrator is
unable to purchase the parcels for the appraised value, the City
Manager is authorized to increase the offer when, in his
judgment, it appears to be in the best interest of the City to do
so to save the cost of condemnation. If both parties are unable
to agree upon a value for the property, the City Attorney is
hereby authorized to institute condemnation proceedings to obtain
such property in the name of the City of Wichita Falls for a
sanitary sewer line.
PASSED AND APPROVED this the 5th day of February, 1990.
