SUBJECT:
Consideration and possible action to approve a Resolution pursuant to Chapter 2206, Government Code § 2206.053 finding that portions of properties located at 101 and 120 Commerce Boulevard, Georgetown, Texas, 78628, are necessary for the Rabbit Hill Road Project and authorizing the use of eminent domain to condemn the properties, if necessary -- Travis Baird, Real Estate Services Manager
ITEM SUMMARY:

Staff is in the process of acquiring necessary right-of-way across two properties(known as Parcels 9 & 10), located on Commerce Boulevard, along the east side of Rabbit Hill Rd, for the improvement of Rabbit Hill Road north of the intersection with Westinghouse Road. Negotiations are ongoing. A resolution finding public convenience and necessity (“PCN Resolution”) authorizing the acquisition of the necessary land rights by either negotiation or condemnation is necessary to ensure that the acquisition process complies with eminent domain law and to avoid delays in acquiring the property, if the parties are unable to reach agreement on compensation through negotiation. The attached resolution, if approved, will authorize the acquisition of the subject property by negotiation or eminent domain, if necessary.

Staff recommends approval of this item.
