RAY SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR FY 1992-93 GENERAL FUND BUDGET AMENDMENTS DATE: APRIL 16, 1993 BACKGROUND As previous reports have noted, there are several areas of the budget that have had unexpected revenues and expenditures. In order to address these areas, eight amendments to revenue estimates or supplemental appropriations are needed prior to the end of the fiscal year. Listed below are those specific areas, the amount of the requested amendment and a brief explanation of each specific situation. Please note that the requested amendments will not have a net effect on the "bottom line" of the budget. The budget, as previously approved and subsequently amended, had projected an $80,000 deficit for FY 1992-93 operations. Even after the requested amendments (detailed below), the current projections indicate that we will have approximately a $20,000 General Fund surplus at the year end. This represents a $100,000 difference in the original, bottom line projections. The following requests are offered for your consideration: 1. INCREASE GENERAL FUND REVENUE PROJECTIONS $ 41.662 . This increase is based on funds that have already been collected (in excess of the original revenue estimates) and is established at this level in order to accomplish the supplementals that follow and include reimbursements from workers compensation court and refunds from various sources. 2. DECREASE APPROPRIATIONS TO MUNICIPAL COURT DEPARTMENT $ 4.100 . This decrease is due to a savings realized by the retirement of the former Court Clerk and the resulting separation of duties between the court and police department. At the time of that separation of duties, the Council approved a transfer of money from court to the police department in order to fund separate clerical activities. The amount transferred to the police department was not sufficient to cover all of the associated costs. This requested amendment will address that concern. 3. INCREASE APPROPRIATIONS TO POLICE DEPARTMENT $ 25.500 . This increase is requested to cover unexpected and unbudgeted costs relating to: A) infectious disease control plan implementation, B) cover salary of one employee that was not budgeted due to staff misunderstanding of workers compensation reimbursement (one employee on extended workers compensation was left unbudgeted because staff was of the opinion the employee would be paid directly from the workers compensation court, however, the specific law pertaining to police officers requires the city to pay the salary and then be reimbursed by the court) and C) unbudgeted cost for selection of the new police chief and expense of partial salary. (Note: reduction in salary level of former chief will not fully cover two and one-half months of salary of new police chief). 4. INCREASE APPROPRIATIONS TO GENERAL GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT BY 14 262. This increase is requested to cover the cost of lawsuit settlement in the case of HAMMCO, INC. v. City of Owasso which was resolved at the last council meeting 5. INCREASE APPROPRIATION TO SWIMMING POOL DEPARTMENT $ 6.000 . This increase is requested to cover unexpected costs associated with the repair and replacement of valves, filter, pipes and other health department mandated facility specifications discovered in anoff-season evaluation of the facility. 6. DECREASE STREET DEPARTMENT APPROPRIATION $ 18.100 . This decrease is requested due to budgeting for an employee in the street department but actually utilizing that employee in the garage department. The staff position is that the actual expenditures should be reflected via budgeted appropriations. 7. INCREASE GENERAL FUND TRANSFER TO GARAGE FUND $ 18.100 . This increase is requested in the transfer to the garage fund to provide money to increase the appropriation to the garage department in order to accurately reflect the expenditures of the department (see item #6 above). 8. INCREASE APPROPRIATION TO GARAGE DEPARTMENT $ 18.100. This increase is requested to appropriate the funds requested for transfer in item 7 (above), if approved. Total Revenue Increases & Transfer Increases .................... $59,762.00 Total Request for Expenditure Increases ........................ $59,762.00 Net Effect on Budget Bottom Line ................................. -0- Note: These adjustments are not inclusive. As reported previously, there will be additional requests at a later date relating to appropriations for legal costs and some minor last minute adjustments at the end of the fiscal year as the actual numbers are finalized. REC The staff recommends Council approval of the following FY 92-93 budget amendments: Increase General Fund revenue by $ 41,662 in the "reimbursements and refund" line item; decrease appropriations in the Court Department by $ 4,100 ;increase appropriations in the Police Department by $ 25.500: increase appropriations to the General Government Department by $14,262 ;increase appropriation to the Swimming Pool Department by $ 6.000: decrease appropriation to the Street Department by $ 18.100: increase appropriations to Garage Department by $ 18.100: and increase transfer from General Fund to Garage Fund by $18.100.

CITY OF OWASSO t FROM: STEVE COMPTON ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONTRACT WITH YMCA FOR MANAGEMENT OF MUNICIPAL POOL ' DATE: April 15, 1993 1 BACKGROUND• The staff discussions with representatives of the YMCA regarding privatization of the pool operations have been completed. A management agreement has been prepared by Mr. Cates for final action by both the YMCA Board and the Owasso City Council (see attached Management Contract). The scope-of-service identified for each party is a follows: YMCA -Provide management services for the complete operation of the pool including accounting, hiring and terminating personnel, scheduling existing and new programs, and routine daily maintenance and cleaning of the facility. City of Owasso -Provide for supplies, maintenance of equipment and structure, and mutually agreed upon capital outlay expenditures. Additionally, the City is to ensure the facility's equipment meets health department standards for certification. It is anticipated that given their expertise in this type of recreation management and with the addition of other pool related programs, the YMCA's presence will enhance the swimming opportunities available to Owasso citizens. As compensation for their services, the YMCA will receive the net cash receipts derived from the operation of the pool facility and expanded program schedule. The City will continue to budget annually for the operating and maintenance supplies and for capital outlay expenditures to maintain the building and equipment. The cost to the City will be the same regardless of the privatization of the management operations. This year the cost is estimated to be $9,300. In staff's opinion there will be no impact on the financial position of the City; however, this agreement will have a positive impact on the programs provided to our citizens in terms of better service and efficient program management. RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommends approval of the Management Contract with the YMCA and request that the Mayor be authorized to execute the contract.

KNEBEL STEVE COMPTON ' BRET HUNT ' SUBJECT: REPAIR OF SVVIlVINIING POOL MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND INSTALLATION OF NEW WATER HEATER ^ DATE: April 15, 1993 BACKGROUND As stated in our previous memo dated February 12, 1993, demands on the Owasso swimming pool have been increasing annually. Last year, increased usage along with managerial and mechanical factors, caused some problems with the aquatic environment. The installation of a second ~' chlorinator, temporary repair of some minor mechanical problems, and a modification in the daily operation and maintenance schedule solved the problems for the short term. Based on recent recommendations from several experts in the field, a list of repairs and necessary tests to determine the integrity of the existing filter system was compiled as follows: ' (1) Replacement of all associated influent and effluent filter piping and valves, ' (2) removal and replacement of the filter media (sand, gravel, and rock), (3) hydrostatic test (water pressure containment test) of the existing filter vessel, ' a. replacement of the filter vessel if it fails the hydrostatic test b. or repair of the vessel's internal components if it passes the hydrostatic test. (4) removal of sand, dirt, and debris from the bottom of the deep well, While conducting the initial research for this project, it was determined that the Owasso swimming pool was constructed in 1974. The last major overhaul of the filter system was accomplished in 1982. Work completed at that time included replacement of the piping and valves (item 1), replacement of some of the filter media (item 2), and installation of a second "skin" around the filter vessel to stop multiple water leaks (item 3a). Based on this information and the generally accepted lifespans of similar products, it would appear that the repairs are occurring within a similar ten year cycle. PROPOSED MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT REPAIRS Item Number 1 Influent & Effluent Piping & Valves There are several factors that warrant the recommendation to replace the influent and effluent filter piping and valves. Originally it was assumed that repair of the valves would solve the stubborn operation of the units and suction leaks that affect the efficiency of the filter system. Further research indicated that the cost of parts and labor to accomplish the needed repairs would be more costly than replacement of the valves and associated piping. The added benefits to full replacement include (1) the integrity of the entire system, (2) long term smooth and efficient operation of mechanical devices for the pool staff, and (3) assurance of sufficient flow through the filter (to meet State Health Department requirements). Quotes were requested from three area mechanical and plumbing contractors. Each of the contractors sent a representative to the site for a visual inspection of the existing equipment and a review of the required scope of services. All three quotes include two or three days labor to purchase and install new 6 inch, 4 inch, and 2 inch valves, ductal iron pipes, tees, elbows, couplers, etc. (A complete list is available through the office of Mr. Knebel or Mr. Compton). The scope of services also included the installation of four 4" wafer valves (supplied by the City as a cost reduction measure) on the filter vessel itself. The quotes received are as follows: Atlas Utility Company (Tulsa) ................................ $4,100 Raper Plumbing (Tulsa) .................................... $5,500 Hale Plumbing (Tulsa) .................................... $7,965 The City would purchase the wafer valves and an internal splash plate directly from United Industries, Inc. in Wichita, Kansas at a cost of $875. Item Numbers 2 & 3 Filter Vessel & Media Last year, several of the City's pool chemical suppliers recommended replacement of the filter media (cleaned and screened sand) to facilitate improved water cleansing and "in turn" decrease the chlorine usage. The recommendation was reviewed by the staff and deemed inadvisable for action during the swimming season. This determination was based on several factors but the primary concern was the questionable integrity of the 20 year old filter vessel and its internal components. The filter vessel has recently undergone a hydrostatic test as recommended by Mr. Bob Thompson of Thompson and Associates Engineering (see afformentioned memo dated February 12, 1993). The vessel exhibited no pressure leakage over a 24 hour period. What this means, according to Mr. Thompson, is that the existing filter vessel should have a useful life of at least another three to five years. This allows the postponement of an expenditure of approximately $4,500 for the purchase of anew vessel. Since the filter vessel does not need replacement at this time, it is now possible to recommend the replacement of all filter media. The total delivered cost for 35 inches of media (approximately 7,600 pounds of material) for the 66 inch diameter filter is $456.60 from Arkola Sand and Gravel in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Please note that the recommendation for the use of this firm is based on Tulsa's recent price comparison of delivered prices on similar materials from area vendors. Item Number 4 Deep Well The removal of the sand, dirt, and accumulated debris at the bottom of the deep well was necessary to asses the condition of the pool drain valves and also to maintain a clean water circulation and mixing area. This task has already been accomplished by City personnel. PROPOSED HOT WATER SYSTEM ' For at least the past seven years the Owasso swimming pool has been without hot water for showers, sinks, or disinfectant type cleaning. The State Health Department has previously noted this problem during various inspections. Our original estimates of cost to complete this project were much lower than the cost estimates that the staff is now receiving from area contractors. There are several reasons for the discrepancy but most critical are (1) the cost and size of a hot water tank to adequately supply the volume of warm water for showers and sinks and (2) the necessity of at least one automatic mixing (anti-scald) valve at a cost of $1, 200. ' Due to these higher costs, a set of specifications and a scope of services must be prepared for vendors to quote or bid. These should be ready next week and a request for the purchase and ' installation of a hot water supply system for the pool will be presented at the next City Council meeting. ' FUNDING The total cost of the proposed mechanical equipment repairs is $5,431.60. Funding for these is partially covered in the current operating budget and the remainder would be covered by the previously requested supplemental appropriation. The balance of the supplemental appropriation would be utilized (through a request at the next City Council meeting) for the proposed hot water system. ' RECOMMENDATION ' We recommend Council approval of an expenditure in the amount of $4,100 to Atlas Utility Co. , Tulsa, OK, $875 to United Industries, Inc., Wichita, KS, and $456.60 to Arkola Sand & Gravel of Fort Smith, AR for the purpose of affecting repairs to the Municipal Pool in accordance with a "scope of services" as quoted. Attachments: Memo to City Manager dated February 12, 1993. ~MOx~vDUM TO: RODNEY RAY, CITY MANAGER FROM: STEVE COMPTON MII~E KNEBEL BRET HUNT SUBJECT: REPAIR OF SVVIlVIlVIING POOL FILTER AND VALVES AND REPLACEMENT OF WATER HEATER DATE: February 12, 1993 BACKGROUND: We have been directly involved with the pool and its mechanical systems for approximately nine months. During that time we have had the opportunity to evaluate operations through the spring opening of the pool, the peak summer usage period, and the closing of the facility for the winter. We also experienced a major failure of the water circulation and filtering system during the peak usage period. That failure was due to the combination of five factors. First, the sand filter is old and not functioning at full efficiency because of it deteriorated condition. Second, several of the valves associated with the filtering and circulation system are deteriorated to the extent that they can not be completely closed. This caused fluctuations of the water level and resulted in the scum gutters not functioning properly. Third, the use of the pool has significantly increased, placing an increased burden on all systems. Fourth, daily cleaning of the pool to remove oil, dirt, pollen, etc. was not being properly conducted. Fifth, a new chlorinating system had been sized by the manufacture based on pool capacity (gallons of water) without full consideration given to the other factors identified above. The problem was solved for the short- term by reducing the usage, improving pool cleaning methods, and increasing the size of the chlorination system. It is our opinion, demands on the pool will continue to increase and even with proper pool cleaning and the "beefed-up" chlorination system it is questionable that maintaining a healthy aquatic environment through the upcoming swimming season can be insured given the current condition of the existing sand filter and valves. It is also our opinion that without additional information it is impossible to rule out the possibility of total failure. If total failure were to occur, it would most likely be during a peak demand period disrupting not only customer use, but also pool revenues. To the best of our knowledge the filter and valves are original; however, a metal external skin was added to the filter approximately 10 years ago to extend its life. We have had several discussions concerning problems and solutions, but without expert knowledge of the issues, firm recommendations are not possible. Because of this, we invited Mr. Bob Thompson, a Tulsa based mechanical engineer to inspect our systems. He was recommended by the filter ' manufacture as anon-biased local expert with extensive experience in pool systems engineering. The results of his visual inspection are as follows: (1) it was identified for him that no external leaks from the filter were observed during last years operation, ' (2) he could not identify any external problems with the filters' metal skin, (3) he could not identify any major problem with the interior walls of the filter, except for their need to be cleaned and painted, ' (4) he did identify that the sand, gravel, and rock media used within the filter should to be completely replaced, ' (5) he did identify that the headers at the bottom of the filter may need to be replaced, (6) he did identify that the deep well needed to be cleaned, and (~ after discussions pertaining to operations, identified that several of the circulation system valves were not functioning properly. Generally, his visual inspection indicated that the system is not as deteriorated as the staff had initially anticipated. His recommendation was to fill and pressurize the filter tank (with water) to 50 psi. It is estimated that this would cost $500. ~ If the filter tank can maintain pressure for approximately one hour; ' cleaning and painting of the interior of the filter tank, replacement of the sand medium, possible replacement of the headers, and replacement of several associated filter system valves should provide a filtration system that would function properly ' for at least three to five years. ~ If the filter tank not does not maintain the 50 pounds of pressure; replace the filter and valves. The system should then function properly for ten or more years. Our research indicates that if the filter repair and valve replacements are all that are necessary the cost would be a total of $5,000 to $6,000. This project could be handled by purchasing the r necessary components and contracting for labor. ' If total replacement is called for, it is estimated that removal and replacement of the filter and installation of the new filter and valves would cost $10,000 to $15,000 and should be under one contract because of the heavy equipment needed to handle removal and replacement of the filter In addition, the pool has functioned for several years without hot water for showers, sinks, or cleaning. The Health Department has noted this problem during various inspections. Since there is only a single source of water (one pipe) to each shower and sink, one water heater with the temperature set to meet code requirements would provide safe warm water through the single pipe to each shower and sink. This means that no extremely cold or hot water would be provided to these fixtures. A second smaller water heater would be needed at one location to provide hot water for general cleaning and disinfection. It is estimated that the larger water heater and tank would be $400.00, the smaller water heater and tank would be $150.00, and labor/materials would be $450.00. The total for this project would be approximately $1,000.00. RECOMMENDATION: After talking with Mr. Thompson, we are very optimistic that the filter tank will hold the 50 psi pressure, but without data from a pressure test it is impossible to make a final determination. If the pressure test shows the integrity of the filter tank is acceptable, we would recommend that the city purchase the basic repair parts and then use a contractor for the labor to repair the filter and circulation systems (cost estimate $5,500). Second, we would recommend that the hot water system be replaced as a separate project using a plumbing contractor (cost estimate $1,000). Note: City staff members could accomplish portions of these projects and significantly reduce the cost, however this would have a negative impact on their ability to complete other priority tasks and projects within their departments.

Our objective will be the completion of the foregoing audit and, upon its completion and subject to its findings, the rendering of our report. The City's reporting entity, as determined by the City, includes the Owasso Public Works Authority, and the Owasso Economic Development Authority. These entities will be included in the City's general purpose financial statement as enterprise and special revenue funds, respectively.

We will issue an "in relationship to" opinion on the supplemental financial statements and schedules. City of Owasso July 9, 1992 Page 2 ~OQ~ The City currently has several federal financial assistance grants of which none are for more than $299,999. The audit will include a financial and compliance audit of these nonmajor federal financial assistance programs in accordance with the Single Audit Act of 1984. Our audit will be conducted in accordance with the standards referred to above and U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-128, "Audits of State and Local Governments". We will also issue a separate negative assurance report on the City's 1988 Series Revenue Bonds. P.s you Y.now, the financial statements are the responsibility of the management and the City Council of your City who are primarily responsible for the data and information set forth therein as well as for the evaluation of the capability and integrity of the City's personnel and the maintenance of an appropriate internal control structure, which includes adequate accounting records and procedures to safeguard the City's assets. Accordingly, our completion of the audit will require management's cooperation. In addition, as required by generally accepted auditing standards, our procedures will include obtaining written representation from management concerning such matters which we will rely upon, and the City will indemnify and hold us harmless from any liability, damages and legal or other costs we might sustain in the event such representations are false. Generally accepted auditing standards also require the auditor to obtain reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement, and provide for the audit to be performed on a test basis, as described in the second paragraph of this letter. Accordingly, an audit is not a special examination designed to detect fraud, nor a guarantee of the accuracy of the financial statements and is subject to the inherent risk that errors, irregularities, or illegal acts, if they exist, might not be detected. However, if we become aware of material errors or any irregularities or illegal acts during the course of our audit, we will bring them to your attention. Should you then wish us to direct special auditing procedures to such matters , we would be pleased to work with you to develop a separate engagement for that purpose.

RAY SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR COUNCII. APPROVAL OF PURCHASE OF PROPERTY FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT STATION SITE DATE: APRIL 16, 1993 BACKGROUND: On February 16, 1993 the City Council authorized the staff to initiate all necessary documents and negotiations to finalize the acquisition of property for the location of a fire station facility. At this point all final arrangements have been agreed upon by the parties involved (City staff, D.O.T. and Hayward Smith). The agreements call for all of the property to be initially in Mr. Smith's name and the actual City purchase of the property from Mr. Smith. The contract for purchase includes all of the agreements reached by the parties during the discussions and are as follows: 1. Mr. Smith will convey 1.2 acres by warranty deed and .4 acres with quit claim deed (the building will be located on the 1.2 acre thus our requirement for the warranty deed for that portion of the property) . 2. The remaining right-of--way property south of the fire station will be used to retain storm water from both the City property and Mr. Smith's property and will remain as public right- of-way held by D.O.T. 3. The City will pay Betty and Haywood Smith a total of $5,200. 4. The City will extend water and sewer service to the northern line of the property (that is within 50 feet of where we were going anyway). FIItE STATION SITE APRII. 16, 1993 PAGE TWO 5. The City staff will support annexation of all of the property into the corporate limits. 6. The City staff will support a rezoning of all of the property from "AG" to "CG" classification. 7. Mr. Smith will grant a drainage easement to the City. Mr. Cates and the staff have reviewed the document and made changes. The staff has also reviewed the document and made necessary changes to ensure that there are no guarantees relating to the zoning or annexation clauses in the contract. The staff analysis of the contract indicates that there are no unexpected or unanticipated costs associated with the purchase other than those to which we have previously noted. It should be noted that we are currently surveying the property in order to establish a property description and that we will have the additional cost of an abstract for the property. NOTE: If the Council approves the request as it is presented the property acquisition will be completed without any further Council action. This request is for authorization for the staff to complete the purchase of the property and pay the $5,200. RECONIlVIENDATION: The staff recommends that the Council approve the purchase contract and that the City Manager and City Attorney be authorized to execute the document and close the purchase and that payment in the amount of $5,200 be authorized to Betty and Hayward Smith.

Notary Public My commission expires: MEMORANDUM TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCII. CITY OF OWASSO FROM: RODNEY J. RAY SUBJECT: ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY FOR FIRE STATION DATE: FEBRUARY 11, 1993 BACKGROUND: Two weeks ago in the City Manager's Report the Council was updated on the status of the City's effort in acquiring excess right-of--way from the Oklahoma Department of Transportation for the site of a new central fire station. As stated in that report, we had been promised the property by DOT officials and had received confirmation that such was being released to us. However, a last minute challenge by Mr. Hayward Smith effectively killed our chances of getting the property. Mr. Smith's challenge was based on the manner in which the property was taken by the state (easement was taken, rather than "fee simple deed"). At the time the status report was written, it was the staff opinion that the challenge by Mr. Smith was valid and he would ultimately prevail. Mr. Cates concurs with that opinion based on his discussion with the DOT's legal counsel. There has been no reason to change that opinion since the report was issued. It continues to be the staff and attorney position that Mr. Smith will eventually be awarded the property in question. In order to avoid a loss of the property and be forced to relocate the station, or engage in a legal fight, the staff initiated a meeting with Mr. Smith and his representatives. During that meeting we reached agreement on a solution to the impasse. The agreement calls for the City to get title to the property originally planned for the station site. (see attached map) The property immediately to the north of that area would revert to Nir. Smith as well as an additional 1.5 acres of excess right-of--way further to the north and originally unrelated to this matter. Additionally, the City would pay Mr. Smith a sum not below $4,700 or above $5,200 in consideration of the property and expenses. After review of this matter by staff, attorneys, and DOT representatives it is the consensus opinion that the best method of transferring this property is for the DOT to release all of the property to Mr. Smith as per the 194 easement condemnation. Upon that action, Mr. Smith ACQULSITION OF PROPERTY FOR FIRE STATION FEBRUARY 11, 1993 PAGE TWO would deed to the City the tract (approximately 2 acres) for the fire station in consideration of a lump sum payment to him ($4,700 - $5,200 depending upon actual expenses) at that time. By accomplishing the transfer in this matter future "clouds" on our tract can be avoided. The City will have a "free and clear title" to the property. In order to move ahead with this acquisition the staff must be in a position to: ~ 1. inform Mr. Smith's representatives that the Council approves the concept; 2. initiate contracts between the DOT, City of Owasso, and Hayward and Betty Smith necessary to get the issue back to the Council for final approval; and ' 3. be comfortable that the Council understands the approach being taken on this purchase. ' REQUEST: This request is for Council action to approve the concept of acquiring the property through the purchase of the tract from Mr. Hayward Smith at a price not to exceed $5,200; and to authorize the staff to initiate the necessary negotiations and documents to finalize the agreement for ^ Council approval. RECO~MF.~'yDATION: The staff recommends Council approval of the property acquisition concept as outlined above ~ and that the City Manager and City Attorney be authorized to initiate all necessary documents and discussions for the acquisition of a tract of land from Mr. Haywazd Smith for submission , to the Council for final approval, and that an offer of not more than $5,200 for such property be authorized. ATTACI-~1~IENTS: 1. Area map showing property under consideration 2. Excerpt from City Manager's Report Dated 2-2-93 ~oxnrmuM TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL CITY OF OWASSO ' FROM: RODNEY J. RAY ' SUB,TECT: CITY MANAGER'S REPORT ' .DATE: FEBRUARY 2, 1993 ' FIRE STATION STATUS ^ A major problem with the excess right-of--way acquisition from the Department of Transportation has surfaced. Two weeks ago, after unacceptable delays in receiving a promised deed of dedication, I requested an official response from DOT regarding the status of the property transfer. After failing to receive a response, I asked Mr. Cates to contact the department's ,~ general counsel. All of these actions happened after we received correspondence from the department stating that the right-of--way was being released as requested by the City of Owasso. After Mr. Cates had contacted the department's attorney, we were notified that Mr. Haywood Smith had filed a challenge to the release of the property. Mr. Smith's challenge claimed that ' theright-of--way was taken as an "easement" through condemnation in 1954 and that the property should revert to Mr. Smith without cost or further action. Upon review of Mr. Smith's challenge, the DOT general counsel did, in fact, agree that the excess right-of--way was an ' easement and therefore if not needed should be released to Mr. Smith. Our position at that time was that the right-of--way had been offered to the City by the Department and that the City had ~ a primary interest in any release of that property. We further argued that both the City and County should have the right to "sign off' on any release of any right-of--way prior to that release. bLr. Cates reviewed the 194 condemnation and verified that the right-of--way had been taken as an easement and that our ability to overcome the Smith challenge would eventually fail. However, in the meantime, Nfr. Smith had requested release of additional right-of--way farther north of the property in question. This week, through a contact Mr. Compton had developed, we were able to meet with Mr. Smith and his wife and their representatives. Through negotiations we have reached an agreement that will result in the City acquiring the property we originally wanted for the fire i~ i~ CITY MANAGER'S REPORT FEBRUARY 2, 1993 PAGE TWO station and Mr. Smith receiving the remaining portion of the right-of-way north of the i"ue station site. The agreement provides approximately three acres of property to the City in return for $5,000 to Mr. Smith to defray expenses incurred by him in his challenge. Please note that actual payment to Mr. Smith could be as low as $4,700 but not higher than $5,200 depending upon his final costs as of January 26, 1993. Although this is an unexpected cost, the alternative solution would most likely result in the City having to purchase Iand at another site. In terms of economics, the payment of $5,000 for that property makes good business sense and allows us to continue on the same track with our construction. It should be noted, however, that if a payment is made, the amount of the that payment will have to be deducted from the $40,000 appropriated for the project. The financial impact will be minor but, nevertheless, it will mean that there will be $5,000 fewer dollars available for this project than we had originally expected. At this point, Mr. Cates expects the mechanics of the proposal would consist of the DOT deeding the entire property to Mr. Smith with Mr. Smith concurrently deeding to the City the portion of the property for the fire station. The staff concurs with that process because it ensures a clear and free deed to the property. After your review of this request, please let me know if you have concerns or questions about the proposal. I have not yet determined the proper method of requesting action by the Council but I will be discussing [his with Nir. Cates during the next week. At this time I do need your input relating to this matter in order to determine if we are on the right course and if you are interested in pursuing the acquisition of the property through the negotiated settlement. Please call me, bir. Cates or Mr. Compton if you have questions or concerns.
