Section No. 3 The following procedures shall be used in the acquisition of properties for the Midtown "2000" Improvement Project, the objectives of which are to insure that uniform, fair and equitable treatment be afforded persons displaced as a result of this federally assisted project, to encourage and expedite acquisition by agreements with property owners to avoid litigation and relieve congestion in courts, to assure consistent treatment for owners of real property to be so acquired, and to promote public confidence in federal land acquisition: A. The City shall make every reasonable effort to acquire such real property expeditiously by negotiation. B. Real property shall be appraised before the initiation of negotiations , and the owner or his representative designated in writing shall be given an opportunity to accompany the appraiser during his inspection of the property. 279 Item 5c, cont'd. C. Before the initiation of negotiations for the acquisition of such real property, the City shall offer to acquire the property for the full amount so established, which shall be not less than the approved appraisal of the fair market value of the property. The owner shall be provided with a written statement of the basis for determination of just compensation. If only a portion of the property is acquired, the statement shall make an apportionment between the compensation for the property acquired and the net damages or benefits to the remaining property. D. If the acquisition of a portion of a property would leave the owner with an uneconomic remanant, the City will offer to acquire such uneconomic remanant. E. If the owner is not satisfied with the City's offer, he may refuse to accept it; if he can provide evidence concerning value or damage that warrants a change in the City's determination of just compensation, the price will be adjusted accordingly by the appraiser. F. No owner shall be required to surrender possession of real property before the City pays the agreed purchase price, or deposits with the court in which the City has instituted a condemnation proceeding for such property, for the benefit of the owner, an amount not less than the fair market value of such property, or the amount of the award of compensation in the condemnation proceeding for such property. G. The City shall furnish the owner a statement identifying the settlement and related costs that will be paid by the City. H. The construction or development of a project shall be so scheduled that no person lawfully occupying real property shall be required to move from a dwelling (assuming a replacement dwelling will be available) or to move his business or farm operation, without at least 90 days written notice from the City of the date by which such move is required. However, shorter notice may be given where HUD determines that such 90 day notice is impracticable. I . If arrangements are made to rent the property to an owner or his tenant for a short term or for a period subject to termination by the City on shorter notice, the rental will not exceed the less of (1 ) the fair rental value of the property to a short-term occupier, (2) the pro-rata portion of the fair rental value for a typical rental period, or if the owner or his tenant is an occupant of a dwelling, the rental for such dwelling shall not exceed 25% of his income. J. The City shall not advance the time of condemnation or defer negotiations or condemnation and the deposit of funds in court for the use of the owner, or take any other action which is coercive or misleading in nature in order to compel an agreement on the price to be paid for the property. K. If any interest in real property is to be acquired by the exercise of the power of eminent domain, the City shall institute formal condemnation proceedings to prove the fact of the taking of real property. L. In any case in which a notice is served by the City of its intention to acquire real property, initiation of negotiations shall occur within 90 days of the service of such notice of intention.

Ayes: Mayor Hill , Aldermen Traywick, Hampton, Thomas, and Boston Nays: None Item 13 City Manager Stuart Bach presented several priority proposals for recommended appropriations. Holliday Creek improvements were discussed. Mr. Bach stated that an attempt would be made to get donations of right-of-way along the Creek from public entities including the school district, Midwestern State University, and the state hospital . The City of Wichita Falls already owns about 48 acres. The land has no other value. They will also contact other property owners along the creek, and ask for donations of right-of-way to the City. This could be a tax write-off. They may also run into some instances where they will have to buy the right-of-way. They will need 210 feet of right-of-way if they can get it. We also want to request Congressional authorization for $250,000 to meet the Corps ' engineering capability this fiscal year. We will also ask for authorization to construct it. It is also proposed to begin dredging and cleaning by utilizing $20,000 in general fund monies, plus additional Community Development funds. This amount of money will take care of about six to seven blocks. This will facilitate the flow, but it will not stop the flooding. We can only get on the land that the City owns, or that property owners give us consent. If property owners fail to give us permission to clean it up, then we can envoke the provisions of the weed lot ordinance. The preliminary design work will also be done in conjunction with locally required bridges, utility and drainage structure relocations and adjustments. Alderman Traywick commended the City Manager for taking this positive action, but asked him if he plans at this time to address the Lake Wichita Dam problem? The City Manager stated that he does not. He only plans to address the flooding on Holliday Creek. The City Manager addressed the street rehabilitation improvement program. He proposed the reconstruction of 53 blocks of tornado damaged streets, and 57 blocks of wornout streets located outside the tornado area. He also proposes overlaying of 90 blocks, seal coating 85 blocks of streets as a preventive maintenance measure, and seal coat surfacing of approximately 20 blocks of presently unsurfaced streets, the rehabilitation of 50 blocks of streets , and the provision of funds for use in the assessment paving of approximately 10 blocks of streets. Director of Public Works Ernest Lillard stated that we have approximately 150 blocks of unpaved streets . Part of them are roads with undeveloped property on them. About 100 blocks would serve a limited purpose, but there are 50 blocks that really need to be improved. This can be accomplished in three or four years. The City Manager explained that we need to appropriate $197,931 to fund the Wichita County Appraisal District. Mr. Bach also requested a $201 ,000 appropriation to install utility lines for water and sewer services to the Lake Shore Drive Area. Mr. Bach explained that the solid waste management system is comprised of the landfill , transfer station and all associated equipment, lands, etc. The City Manager discussed tornado related projects. In Kiwanis Park, it is estimated that it will take $140,000 to replace a concession stand, to rebuild parking lots, and to replace damaged turf and irrigation systems. He also proposed 284 Item 13, cont'd. that we request that HUD allow the City to use $128,000 in Discretionary Grant funds to remove partial walls, slabs, and other tornado debris from 256 privately owned lots. He also recommended $6,600 to refurbish tornado damaged traffic signal poles at Hatton Road and Norman Street on the Jacksboro Highway. Discussion was held on whether the City should remove these walls, etc. from private property, instead of the property owners. Alderman Thomas asked if we have any statistics on these 256 remaining properties which have not been cleaned up as to whether they have talked to Interfaith Disaster Service? Planning Director Roger McKinney stated that these 256 did not qualify under the income guidelines for Interfaith Disaster Service. He stated that there are at least 400 lots not yet built on. These 256 lots are properties not owned by a developer. Aldermen Traywick and Thomas questioned whether this could be considered as discrimination and a misappropriation of public funds to assist private property owners since it was not done for everyone. Alderman Hampton noted that some neighborhoods are being built back better than before the tornado, and it might help them to get rid of these slabs. Alderman Thomas commented that high interest rates are the problem. The Council wondered if we could get the property owner to provide fifty percent of the funds, and the City provide the other half? The City would have to have the property owner's consent to go on the property. The City Manager mentioned a possible appropriation of $309,000 for construction of a relocated replacement fire station, and reconstruction of Weeks Park Golf Club House, both of which were destroyed in the tornado. Mr. Bach stated that we are still negotiating with Federal Emergency Management Administration officials concerning a portion of this amount. Mr. Bach also requested an appropriation of $7,300 from the West Texas Utility Fund for engineering work on a study of rehabilitation of Lake Kickapoo dam and outlet works. City Manager Stuart Bach requested an additional $137,070 to adequately renovate the church building purchased for Municipal Court use into an office complex. Of this amount, $50,000 is proposed to come from bond fund earnings, and the balance from a general fund reserve appropriation. Alderman Traywick asked if these proposals would affect other service levels which we have? The City Manager stated that it would not.
