DISCUSSION To accommodate the street widening at the intersection of Main Street and MacArthur Boulevard, acquisition of a portion of the property at 100 West MacArthur Boulevard was required. A good faith offer was made to the property owner in the amount of $31,075, for the purchase of the property. To meet the project schedule, it was necessary to commence eminent domain proceedings. In February of 2003, the City deposited funds into the State Condemnation Fund for these proceedings. However, staff continued to negotiate with the property owner and was able to successfully complete escrow for this property. The eminent domain proceedings were ceased and the condemnation funds are being refunded to the City. In order to recognize these funds in the current fiscal year, an appropriation adjustment is necessary. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed roject has been determined to be adequately evaluated in previously )ared MacArthur Place Environmental Impact Report 87-01.
