PALMIERI TYLER <br />City of Santa Ana <br />June 6, 2017 <br />Page 6 <br />being taken as evidenced by the improvements at the subject property and the <br />appraisals failure to include/value all such improvements despite inspection of the <br />subject property (including but not limited to attached telephone systems, wiring <br />safety switch, various piping, storm water system, air compressor, car rack, <br />ramps, concrete paving (ferrous yard and nonferrous building), etc.). <br />No showing what "precise legal guidelines" followed by appraisers. No showing <br />that the City has any idea what guidelines were followed, No showing OCTA <br />knew what "guidelines" were followed. <br />The staff report asserts adoption of a resolution will allow negotiations to continue while <br />pursuing condemnation. If that is true, the City's conduct is illegal and improper. Negotiations <br />are required for every acquisition. If that statement is in fact false, the City's position that this <br />eminent domain taking resolution is necessary to allow for negotiations is illegal. <br />This hearing is supposed to be a real deliberation of the pros and cons of condemnation. <br />In fact, the decision to take this property by eminent domain (assuming the ownership does not <br />capitulate) is a fait accompli. <br />SA Recycling incorporates into the record all internal and external communications by <br />OCTA concerning the sought for eminent domain taking of this property and prior <br />correspondence with the City and OCTA. SA Recycling also incorporates all prior meetings and <br />communications with OCTA concerning the proposed acquisition of the subject property. <br />We reserve all rights. <br />cc: Client <br />Michael I.
