Consideration, discussion, and possible approval of Resolution No. 1088, a Resolution of Necessity to Condemn Property located in the SE/4 of Section 12, T-18-N, R-14-E of the Indian Meridian, Tulsa County, State of Oklahoma, for the 23rd Street, Houston to Kenosha, Widening Project (Project No. ST0914)

Background:
The right-of-way acquisition for the 23rd Street, Kenosha to Houston, widening project has been approved for federal Surface Transportation Program (STP) funding, to be cost shared 20%-80% (City-Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT)). The City’s contract right-of-way agent, Universal Field Services, has attempted unsuccessfully to negotiate with Sam and Maureen Azarian for 23rd Street and Houston Street right-of-way on the east and south sides of Parcel 21, generally located on the west side of 23rd Street north of Houston Street in Section 12, Township 18 North, Range 14 East. The revised appraisal and offer was $18,885.00, but was rejected by the landowner. In accordance with a February 10, 2014, Project Construction, Maintenance, Utility Relocation, and Right-of-Way Agreement between the Oklahoma Department of Transportation and the City of Broken Arrow, the City will make the right-of-way payments and ODOT will reimburse the City for 80 percent of the cost. The attached Resolution of Necessity No. 1088 recommends that condemnation proceed on Parcel 21.
Funding for the City’s share of the Right of Way cost will be from the 2014 Streets GO Bond.
Cost: To be determined
