On July 8, 2013, City Council approved payment for the first property acquisition with F&M Properties. Upon completion of the Appraisal, Review Appraisal, and several site visits with the owners of the parcels affected by this staff report the necessary documents were prepared. The parcels affected are further defined in the table below.

Analysis: The Easement areas required to construct and operate the North Truckee Drain project have been carefully considered to ensure project needs are met while reducing property impacts. Offer valuations for the temporary and storm drainage pipeline easements were determined using the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. Appraisal review was provided by Kimmel and Associates with no concerns noted.

Alternatives: 1. City Council could approve the Payments as outlined by Staff. 2. City Council could reject the Payments and provide direction to the City Manager.

Recommended Motion: “I move to approve the payments totaling $417,371 to five (5) property owners for Temporary Construction Easements and Storm Drain Pipeline Easements for the North Truckee Drain Project.”
