As part of this project, <br />acquisition of additional right -of -way is necessary for the completion of the street <br />and storm sewer construction.

Adopt Resolution 02 -193, Authorizing the Eminent Domain Process, 62nd <br />Street Reconstruction. <br />2. Not Adopt Resolution No 02 -193. <br />3. Retum to staff for further review. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Option No 1 - Staff recommends that Resolution No 02 -193 be adopted. <br />
