Resolution 574, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF YELM, ESTABLISHING RIGHT -OF —WAY ACQUISITION PROCEDURES, APPRAISAL WAIVER PROCEDURES AND DESIGNATING STAFF AUTHORITY LIMITS IN MAKING ADMINISTRATIVE SETTLEMENT OFFERS 2. LPA001 Right of Way Procedures 3. LPA003 Waiver of Appraisal Procedures 4. Administrative Settlement Procedure Recommendation Approve Establishing Right -of —Way acquisition procedures, appraisal waiver procedures and designating staff authority limits in making administrative settlement offers by adoption of Resolution 574 and; Authorize Mayor JW Foster to sign and execute: • Resolution 574 • LPA001 • LPA003 • Administrative Settlement Procedure Introduction Right of way is a term used to describe "the legal right, established by usage or grant, to pass along a specific route through grounds or property belonging to another ", or "a path or thoroughfare (a transportation route connecting one location to another) subject to such a right." g e HARight of Way Procedures 2016 Agenda Item 8a Resolution No 574 ROW Acquisition Page 2 of 14 Right of Way Acquisition is a term for acquiring real property with government funds for programs and projects for transportation purposes. Government programs and projects that are designed to benefit the public as a whole often result in the acquisition of private property. The fifth amendment of the Constitution states that private property shall be taken for public use only with just compensation. To provide uniform and equitable treatment for persons whose property is acquired for public use, Congress passed the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, and amended it in 1987. This law, called the Uniform Act, is the foundation for the information discussed in this staff report. Revised rules for the Uniform Act were published in the Federal Register on January 4, 2005. The rules are reprinted each year in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 49, Part 24. All Federal, State and local government agencies, as well as others receiving Federal financial assistance for public programs and projects, that require the acquisition of real property, must comply with the policies and provisions set forth in the Uniform Act and the regulation. These laws provide for independent checks and balances in property acquisition for independent review of each process to certify just compensation. Background Neither the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act (URA) nor its implementing regulations at 49 CIFR Part 24 allow the certification of right of way (ROW) to be sub - delegated to any agency (City, Town, or County) or any agency (City, Town, or County) with Certification Acceptance (CA) status. The Washington State Department of Transportation ( WSDOT) has overall responsibility to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for the acquisition of ROW on all FHWA funded transportation projects in the state. If there is federal funding on any phase of the project (Preliminary Engineering, ROW, or Construction), ROW must be acquired in accordance with the requirements of the WSDOT Local Agency Guidelines (LAG) manual, in order for the project to be eligible for federal funding (49 CFR24.101). The acquisition process is regulated by Chapter 8.26 RCW and WAC 468 -100. WSDOT may, by written agreement, use the services of land acquisition organizations of counties, municipalities, or other state or local governmental agencies for acquiring rights of way for FHWA projects. Any such organization may be used only if it is adequately staffed, equipped, and organized to provide such services, and if its practices and procedures are in substantial conformity with WSDOT accepted procedures. It is the responsibility of WSDOT to fully inform political subdivisions of their responsibilities in connection with federally- assisted transportation projects and to provide training. It is the local agencies' responsibility to comply with the requirements of chapter 25 of the LAG, the URA, and 49 CIFR Part 24. 2 e 3 HARight of Way Procedures 2016 Agenda Item 8a Resolution No 574 ROW Acquisition Page 3 of 14 Current Situation Staff has completed written procedure changes with Resolution 574 for Council approval. Resolution 402, Right of Way Procedures, was adopted in 2000. FHWA and WSDOT updated changes to Chapter 25 of the LAG manual October 2016 for Right of Way Procedures. Staff is recommending updating the City procedures to become compliant with new guidelines in order to manage projects with FHWA federal funding. ROW procedures are normally considered current if they are less than three years old, and there have been no changes to staff approved to perform ROW activities within the agency. The City procedures are more than seventeen (17) years old and do not meet the new procedure changes. Procedure changes are now required to include the following- 1 . Agreement to comply with state and federal laws and FHWA regulations. The agency should agree to follow Chapter 25 of the LAG manual and the eight of ay MarMial M 26 -01 or the agency's own manual if they have a WSDOT approved ROW manual. 2. A listing of the agency's staff and position(s) performing the separate functions of program administration, appraisal, appraisal review, acquisition, relocation, and property management. All agency staff that performs any of these separate functions should be listed. Agency personnel such as administrators and members of the executive branch who might participate in the acquisition of R/W for federal aid projects need to be aware that their actions must conform of t he Uniform Act and 49 CM Part 24. 3. A listing of all current staff, including their position(s), who are specified to perform each function, and a brief statement of their qualifications pertaining to the function they are performing. 4. Appraisal waiver procedure. 5. A procedure for handling administrative settlements including the approving authority(s) and process Local Agencies must have a relocation appeal procedure in place, prior to starting relocation activities for any projects involving relocation assistance, as required by 49 CFR 24.10. Local Agencies then submit to FHWA Annual ROW Statistical Report for active federal aid projects by October 25 each year. The data provided is for ROW activities. 3 g HARight of Way Procedures 2016 Agenda Item 8a Resolution No 574 ROW Acquisition Page 4 of 14 CITY OF YELM RESOLUTION NO. 574 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF YELM, ESTABLISHING RIGHT -OF —WAY ACQUISITION PROCEDURES, APPRAISAL WAIVER PROCEDURES AND DESIGNATING STAFF AUTHORITY LIMITS IN MAKING ADMINISTRATIVE SETTLEMENT OFFERS WHEREAS, the City of Yelm, herein referred to as "City ", desires to acquire real property (obtain an interest in, and possession of, real property) in accordance with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act and applicable federal regulations (49 CFR Part 24) and state law (Ch. 8.26 RCW), and state regulations (Ch. 468 -100 WAC) hereby adopts the following procedures to implement the above statutes and Washington Administrative Code, and WHEREAS, the City desires to replace Resolution No. 402 with updated federal and state requirements, and WHEREAS, the City is responsible for the real property acquisition and relocation activities on projects administered by the City, and WHEREAS, to fulfill the above requirements the City will acquire Right -of -Way (ROW) in accordance with the policies set forth in the Washington State Department of Transportation ( WSDOT) ROW Manual M 26 -01 and Local Agency Guidelines, and WHEREAS, the following ROW Acquisition Procedures appoints staff responsible for the various elements of the ROW process, and WHEREAS, the City has the following expertise and personnel capabilities to accomplish these functions, and NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Yelm that the City adopt the following ROW Procedures, Waiver of Appraisal Procedure, and Administrative Settlement Procedures for the acquisition of real property: Section 1.

Any functions for which the City does not have qualified staff, the City will contract with another local agency with approved procedures, an outside contractor, or the WSDOT. If the City proposes to use outside contractors for any of the above functions, the City will need to work closely with the WSDOT Local Agency Coordinator (LAC) and Local Programs to ensure all requirements are met. When the City proposes to have a staff person approved to negotiate who is not experienced in negotiation for FHWA funded Agenda Item 8a Resolution No 574 ROW Acquisition Page 8 of 14 projects, the LAC must be given a reasonable opportunity to review all offers and supporting data before they are presented to the property owners. Section 2. City of Yelm Waiver of Appraisal Procedure. The City desires to acquire Real Property according to 23 CFR, Part 635, Subpart C and State directives, and desires to take advantage of the $25,000.00 appraisal waiver process approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for Washington State, hereby agrees to follow the procedure approved for the WSDOT as follows: RULES A. The City may elect to waive the requirement for an appraisal if the acquisition is simple and the compensation estimate indicated on the Project Funding Estimate (PFE) is $25,000.00 or less including cost -to cure items. A True Cost Estimate shall not be used with this procedure. B. The City must make the property owner(s) aware that an appraisal has not been completed on the property for offers $10,000 or less. C. The City must make the property owner(s) aware that an appraisal has not been completed on the property for offers over $10,000 and up to $25,000, and that an appraisal will be prepared if requested by the property owner(s). D. Special care should be taken in the preparation of the waiver. As no review is mandated, the preparer needs to assure that the compensation is fair and that all the calculations are correct. PROCEDURES A. An Administrative Offer Summary (AOS) is prepared using data from the PFE. B. The AOS is submitted to the Public Works Director for approval. C. The City Administrator signs the AOS authorizing a first offer to the property owner(s). Section 3. Administrative Settlement Procedures The Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, P.L. 91 -646, (Uniform Act) requires that the head of a Federal agency shall make every reasonable effort to acquire expeditiously real property by negotiation. Negotiation implies an honest effort by the acquiring agency to resolve differences with property owners. Additionally, the legislative history of the Uniform Act indicates that offers should not reflect a "take it or leave it position." Negotiations should recognize the inexact nature of the process by which just compensation is determined. Further, the law requires an attempt by agencies to expedite the acquisition of real property by agreements with owners and to avoid litigation and relieve congestion in the courts. Agenda Item 8a Resolution No 574 ROW Acquisition Page 9 of 14 In addition to the mandates of the Uniform Act, there are significant cost savings which can be realized through an increased use of administrative and legal settlements. Cost savings are in the areas of salaries, witness fees, travel, per diem, court costs, etc. ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUSTMENTS The City shall make a concerted effort to settle all claims on the basis of the approved appraisal. The City should normally avoid administrative adjustments to approved appraisals in the beginning stages of a project because this will hinder negotiation on other claims on the project. Administrative Settlement Documentation Any administrative settlement which exceeds the fair market value must be documented, thoroughly justified, and the rationale set forth in writing in order to be eligible for federal aid funds. In order to properly document the decision to proceed to an administrative settlement, it is always appropriate to document the recommendation with information supporting a determination that it is reasonable, prudent, and in the public interest. With proper documentation, the approving official will not have to spend his time further justifying the recommendation. Documentation items for justification: • All appraisals, including the owner's, if appropriate. Caution: if an appraisal issue becomes apparent, the an appraisal unit or review appraiser should be consulted. For example, where two acceptable agency appraisals were obtained, and the offer was based on the lower appraisal, consideration should be given to settling up to the supported part of the higher appraisal if an honest difference of opinion exists. • The approved offer of just compensation. • Recent court awards, showing the average percentage increase over the Fair Market Value (FMV) for cases that went to trial. • The negotiator's record of the actual negotiations. • Valuation problems including the probable range of testimony as to FMV by both sides should the case go to court trial. • The estimate of trial costs in conjunction with other information developed. • The opinion of legal counsel, as appropriate. The Project Parcel Negotiation Diary shall contain rationale, justification, and documentation for the Settlement Offer. The authority granted to City officials to provide Administrative Settlement Offers is as follows: A. Acquisition Negotiator — Public Works Director or Public Works Manager A counter offer of Just Compensation plus and Administrative Settlement up to 20% of the Just Compensation, or $5,000, whichever is less. Agenda Item 8a Resolution No 574 ROW Acquisition Page 10 of 14 B. Public Works Director A counter offer of Just Compensation plus and Administrative Settlement up to 30% of the Just Compensation, or $10,000, whichever is less. C. City Administrator A counter offer of Just Compensation plus and Administrative Settlement up to 50% of the Just Compensation, or $15,000, whichever is less. D. City of Yelm Council Members A counter offer of Just Compensation plus and Administrative Settlement exceeding 50% of the Just Compensation, or a counter offer of Just Compensation plus and Administrative Settlement of $15,000, or greater. 2. All projects shall be available for review by the FHWA and WSDOT at any time and all project documents shall be retained and available for inspection during the plan development, ROW and construction stages, and for a three year period following acceptance of the projects by WSDOT. 3. Approval of the AGENCY's procedures by WSDOT may be rescinded at any time the AGENCY is found to no longer have qualified staff or is found to be in non - compliance with the regulations. The rescission may be applied to all or part of the functions approved.
