Middle School. She said that in the past it seemed to her that the council “just voted for it and it happened.” <br />Mr. Klein responded that he would provide information on past eminent domain takings. <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor agreed that this would be useful information. He pointed out, however, that the City <br />was working within the new legal framework dictated by Ballot Measure 39. <br /> <br />Councilor Zelenka said this was an important point. He stated that it took more upfront work now than it <br />did before so that the initial offer was an appropriate offer and the City would not be assessed court costs. <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor added that there might also be budget amendments and other things to authorize the <br />source of funds. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy supported the motion. She felt the information was necessary and that it was good to continue <br />trying to work toward having willing sellers. She remained committed, should the sellers not be willing, to <br />utilize the tool of eminent domain in order to preserve the Amazon Headwaters land. <br /> <br />Roll call vote; the motion passed, 6:1; Councilor Solomon voting in opposition. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 8:36 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Dennis M.
