B. Notices <br />Each notice that the City is required to provide to a property owner or occupant shall <br />be personally delivered or sent via certified or registered first-class mail, return receipt <br />requested and documented in each case file. Each notice would be written in plain, <br />understandable language. Persons who are unable to read and understand any notice <br />would be provided with appropriate translation and counseling.

The NOE that would <br />be issued to business operators acknowledges the recipient's eligibility for assistance and <br />right to make claims for relocation assistance benefits. <br />The NOE to residential displacees, both tenants and owner -occupants, contains a <br />determination of eligibility for relocation assistance and a computation of maximum <br />entitlement based on information provided by the affected household and the analyses of <br />comparable replacement properties undertaken by relocation staff. NOEs would be issued <br />promptly following the Initiation of Negotiations (ION) with property owners. <br />No lawful occupant would be required to move without having received at least go days' advance <br />written notice of the earliest date by which the move would be necessary. The go -day vacate <br />notice would either state a specific date as the earliest date by which the occupant may be <br />required to move, orstate that the occupant would receive a further notice indicating, at least 6o <br />days in advance for residential tenants and 30 days in advance for owner -occupants and non- <br />residential occupants, the specific date of the required move. The go -day vacate notice would not <br />be issued to any residential displacees before a comparable replacement dwelling has been made <br />available. <br />In addition to the three principal relocation notices previously identified, relocation staff would <br />issue timely written notification in the form of a Reminder Notice, which discusses the possible <br />loss of rights and sets the expiration date for the loss of benefits to those persons who: <br />1. Are eligible for monetary benefits, <br />2. Have moved from the acquired property, and <br />3.
