Public Hearing — Resolution Determining Public Interest and Necessity of Property at 1922 (aka 2006) and 2002 West 5th Street June 6, 2017 Page 2 harmless and defend the City in any litigation matters arising out of these condemnation proceedings. To accommodate the construction of the OC Streetcar Maintenance and Storage Facility, the acquisition of parcels 007-100-04 and 007-100-05 at 1922 (also known as 2006) and 2002 West 5th Street is required (Exhibit 1). Prior to City involvement, OCTA had made a diligent effort to negotiate with the property owners and their representatives for the past 6 months. A good faith offer was made on October 18, 2016, in the amount of $2,239,000 (Exhibit 2). An additional good faith offer of $423,850 for Improvements Pertaining to Realty (IPR) was made on November, 2016 (Exhibit 3). These good faith offers are based on appraisals prepared by California State licensed appraisers following precise legal guidelines. The City and OCTA have made, and will continue to make, every effort to reach a settlement with the property owner. However, to maintain the OC Streetcar project schedule, staff is requesting adoption of a Resolution of Necessity (Exhibit 4) which will allow negotiations to continue while condemnation proceedings are initiated.
