3. a. Vancil Road/SR 507 Emergency Permit and Expenditure Commitment.
Mayor Rivas called for a staff report. Shelly Badger reported that there had
been some confusion surrounding right-of-way commitments and legal
descriptions for the Vancil Rd. intersection improvements resulting in the project
being short 3,174 sq. ft. In order to proceed with the project, the City must have
a new appraisal performed, to determine the fair market value. This is in the
process now. Based upon the appraisal, a purchase offer would be submitted to
the property owner by July 31, 2002 for the right-of-way purchase.
Staff requested approval to enter into the contract for the Emergency Permit
and Right of Entry for Highway and Construction Purposes, approval of $500 for
the down payment and appraisal, and the eventual property purchase based
upon the appraisal.
There was some discussion concerning other building options that had been
suggested and not accepted by WSDOT in the past, Rite Aid building location,
the original survey, appraisal, legal description, and conceptual vs. actual
realignment plans, and the possibility of some of this being covered by
errors/omissions insurance.

THE VANCIL ROAD/SR 507 EMERGENCY PERMIT AND EXPENDITURES.
CARRIED.
