Celotti, as Trustees Linda Aal, Clifton Anderson, Andrea Anderson, Linda Aal, Custodian Property Address: 860 Jefferson Avenue, Redwood City, California (APN(s): 052- 366 -040) To The Honorable City Council: The following memorandum sets forth the procedures for the adoption of the Resolution of Necessity authorizing the acquisition of the above - entitled property by eminent domain. Fast, the law requires that the City send a written notice, by fast class mail, to each person whose property is to be acquired by eminent domain and whose name and address appears on the last equalized county assessment roll of the Council's intention to adopt a Resolution of Necessity regarding those proceedings. Second, the Council must adopt the Resolution of Necessity determining that the public interest and necessity require the acquisition of such property and directing the filing of eminent domain action. To comply with the law, a Notice of Intention to Adopt a Resolution of Necessity has been prepared and forwarded to the property owners advising them of the hearing wherein the City Council will consider the adoption of the Resolution of Necessity. No Council authority is needed to send this Notice. It is a requirement of the Eminent Domain statutes. At the hearing on the Resolution of Necessity, the Council will hear all persons whose property is to be acquired speak in relation to the adoption of the Resolution of Necessity and the directing of the filing of an eminent domain action for the acquisition of the property for the public parking facility project. Please note that this is not a public hearing. The Council is only required to hear those persons to whom the Notice of Intention has been mailed and who have filed a timely request to be heard as specified in the Notice. However, it is within the Council's authority to hear any owner, or, in fact, anyone else, who requests to speak even though no letter request has been timely filed with the Council.
