Introduction
The purpose of this memorandum is to request the City Council's approval to purchase
a residential rental dwelling located at 317-319 E 22"d Street, as part of the acquisition
program associated with the Bee Branch Creek Restoration Project.
Background
The 2001 HDR "Drainage Basin Master Plan" identified approximately 70 homes to be
purchased as part of the Bee Branch Creek Restoration Project. To date the City
Council has approved a preliminary right of way design and the properties that will be
impacted have been identified.
The Fiscal Year 2007 CIP budget has allocated $2,615,668 for acquisitions.
Discussion
The sixty second home located in the Bee Branch Realignment and scheduled for
purchase is owned by Duane F. Bradfield and June E. Bradfield. An independent
appraisal has established market value at $90,000. Duane F. Bradfield and June E.
Bradfield have accepted an offer for purchase in this amount by signing the purchase
agreement offered by the Housing Department.
Negotiations for payment of relocation assistance benefits are continuing. However,
these have no bearing on the action to acquire the property. We expect to have those
concluded as soon as a comparable home becomes available.
Action Step
The action requested of the City Council is to approve the attached resolution,
authorizing purchase of property located at 317-319 E 22"d Street in the City of
Dubuque, Iowa.
