Street widening from two to three lanes in each direction, addition of a second left-turn, a right turn lane, and a bus turn-out in both north and southbound directions are included. These improvements are needed to improve traffic flow, which is currently operating at an unacceptable level of service. Other benefits of the project include the addition of landscaped medians and parkways, the conversion of overhead utility lines to underground, and the addition of a storm drain system. To accommodate the widening, acquisition of a portion of the properties located at 218 and 222 South Bristol Street are needed (Exhibit 1). A 6- month temporary construction easement will also be obtained in order to facilitate construction of the approved project. A good faith offer was made to the property owners on September 10, 2005, in the amount of $6,200. Staff has made a diligent effort to negotiate with the property owners and their representatives for the past 6-months. Public works Agency has and will continue to make every effort to reach a settlement with the property owners. Although negotiations will continue, staff is requesting adoption of this resolution of necessity and initiation of condemnation proceedings in order to maintain the Bristol Street widening project schedule and to commence construction in summer of 2006. 750-1 Condemnation of Properties Located at 218 and 222 South Bristol Street April 3, 2006 Page 2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project has been determined to be adequately evaluated in previously prepared Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Assessment No. 89-01 approved by City Council in 1990.

Whether the property proposed to be acquired is necessary for the project; D. Whether the offer required by Government Code section 7267.2(a), together with the accompanying statement and summary of the basis for the amount established as just compensation, was actually made to you and whether said offer and statement/summary were in a form and contained all of the factual information required by Government Code section 7267.2(a); E.
