WHEREAS, the City is authorized by law to acquire, whether by purchase or dedication such real

as follows:

Section 1. Determines that the acquisition of real property rights in fee or by easement for the

citizens of the City of Chandler.

Section 2. Authorizes and directs the City to purchase the real property rights in fee or by
easement for an amount equal to the market value of the property right to be
acquired as determined by appraisal, or as approved by the Public Works & Utilities
Director at an amount not exceeding the appraisal by ten percent (10%) or up to
$50,000. Access Agreements may be acquired for a fair amount determined by

Subject to Section 2 above, authorizes the City’s Real Estate Administrator, any
city real estate officer acting on the Administrator’s behalf, or any retained right-
of-way consultant acting at the direction of the Real Estate Administrator, to make
written offers for the property and, where accepted, to execute, deliver and deposit
into escrow as required, the approved purchase agreements along with all other
documents and instructions necessary to consummate the purchase of the real
property interests. In the event that only an access agreement is required, the access
agreement may be recorded as determined by staff without using an escrow agent.

Where any such written offer is not accepted within a reasonable period of time for
negotiation, authorizes and directs the Chandler City Attorney to commence
condemnation (eminent domain) proceedings to acquire, in the name of the City of
Chandler, the real property rights, including any improvements thereon, and to
secure immediate possession of the property for the public purpose of constructing
the Project, and is further directed to do and to perform all acts necessary in
furtherance of the acquisition of title to and immediate possession of the property.

required by law. The City’s Real Estate Administrator will make the initial
determination of any of any claim received for relocation benefits; any
administrative appeal from such decision shall be considered and acted upon by
and through the Real Estate Administrator or persons acting under the
Administrator’s direction or on the Administrator’s behalf for such purpose, whose
decision shall be final in accordance with applicable law.

Directs that if City staff are unable to acquire any needed real property rights
through voluntary sale by the property owner, the City Council will meet in
executive session pursuant to A.R.S. § 38-431.03 to discuss the matter prior to
commencement of condemnation proceedings as described above. This provision
does not apply to condemnation proceedings requested by the property owner or
properties located outside the City’s incorporated limits.
