ITEM8 :
CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO RIGHT-OF-
WAY ACQUISITION SERVICES.
Mr Carr said that total construction costs for intersection improvements included in the 1998 Bond
Issue include right-of-way acquisition, utility relocation and contingency. The projects submitted
for ODOT funds require specific design and procedural criteria to be followed with respect to public
involvement, project notifications and right-of-way acquisition. Because of the limited amount of
staff time available to develop acquisition documents, contact property owners, and conduct other
real estate-related services, a Request for Qualifications for real estate and right-of-way acquisition
services for these and other projects was prepared and sent to four firms. Responses were received
from three of the firms, and the qualification statements were reviewed by staff. Cilmabar Service
Company was selected as the firm most qualified and highly responsive, and asked to submit fee
proposals. The staff recommended approval ofletter proposals for right-of-way services for the 86th
St N & Main St intersection and for the 86th St N & N Mingo Rd intersection improvements. Mr
Smith moved, seconded by Ms Voss, to approve a fee proposal for right-of-way acquisition
professional services by Cinnabar Service Company for 86th Street North & Main St intersection
improvements in an amount not to exceed $14,750, and 86th Street North & North Mingo Road
intersection improvements in an amount not to exceed $6,060.

Motion carried 5-0.
ITEM 9:
CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO A REQUEST
FOR PAYMENT FOR PROPERTIES AND PAYMENT OF CLOSING COSTS
AND RELATED FEES FOR THE PROPERTY BEING PURCHASED FOR A
PROPOSED CITY HALL SITE.
Mr Hancock said that when the City Council approved the six contracts for the purchase of real
estate for a proposed city hall site, authorization was not given for payment for the property. Also,
when the contracts were approved, no provision was made for the payment of closing costs and
related fees. Four of the properties will close on March 15, 1999, and the closing costs must be paid
at that time. Exact costs will not be known until fee amounts are received from the attorneys
examining the titles. The City has selected two local attorneys, Mr David Charney and Mr Noble
Sokolosky, to do the title work and obtain the title insurance. It is estimated that total closing costs
and related fees for all six properties will be less than $6000. Ms Voss moved, seconded by Mr
Smith, to authorize payment to G T Kaase and Geraldine Kaase for Lot 4, Block 10, Owasso
Original Town; Mary Ellen Esposito and Dorothy Esposito for Lot 3, Block 10, Owasso original
Town; Richard P Halbrook and Eileen E Halbrook for the W12 Lot 1 & all of Lot 2, Block 15,
Owasso Original Town; James Carini and Kathleen L Carini for Lot 2, Block 10, Owasso Original
