Resolution No. 98-118 - Resolution finding that a public need exists for widening Hartman Lane, and finding that private property must be acquired for right-of-way and authorizing the use of the power of emanate domain for the acquisition of private property necessary for right-of-way purposes Herb Kai declared that he had a conflict of interest and was excused. Daniel Hochuli explained that most of the property at Hartman Lane was private property; it was not maintained by the town. There were approximately six property owners with three agreeing to sell it at the appraised value. If the owners agree to sell at the appraised value, the property will be bought. However, condemnation actions will be filed if a price closed to the appraised cannot be agreed upon. The town will take possession of the property 30-60 days after the action is filed, it would then be litigated and a judge/jury would determine the value of the property. Mr. Hochuli is anticipating that most owners will be willing to se!! as most parcels are somewhat small. The condemnations would be handled in-house.

The motion carried 6/0. ~pgrade of Office Supoort Position in Office of Town Clerk to Position of Secretary Mr. Hein stated that Linda resigned to take a position with another jurisdiction. It also provides the Town with an opportunity to relook at the Human Capital and the job descriptions, etc. The vacated position was called "Office Support Assistant" and was doing the job of the Secretary. By requesting more clerical skills and technical support in the advertisement, it would benefit both the Clerk's office and the administration. This support would also help with the venture to bring a Parks and Recreation Director to the Clerk's office. There would only be a difference of about $2.00/hour in the pay scale. Sandy Groseclose said the individual would also assist the counsel as well. A motion was made by Mike Reuwsaat, and seconded by Herb Kai, to approve the upgrade of Office Support position in Office of Town Clerk to position of Secretary. The motion carried 6/0.

Mr. Kal asked Mr. Hein for an update on the lower Santa Cruz River bank bidding, Mr. Hein apologized for not attending the Board of Supervisor's meeting.
