Helen Ritzer, et al. Court File No. CS-99-49 Dear Mr. Sayre: The proceedings on the quick take were concluded before the District court on Friday, April 2. The matter will now proceed. to Commissioner's hearings following the appointment of Commissioners. However, I have had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Rheinberger as it affects his clients' position with regard acquisitian issues Mr. Rheinberger displayed to me a copy of a written proposal that his clients received to acquire their property for $1,'000,000.00 as was offered. by VSSA . In addition, there are, of course, elements to the purchase which have to be analyzed but that document as well as other issues that the Ritzers have with valuation will be presented to the Commissioners and may well influence their decision on value. I am taking the time now to notify you of that event since your client is ultimately responsible to the City under the Development Agreement for the cost of acquisition of the Ritzer property. I would suggest that perhaps VSSA may wish to reconsider reopening negotiations with Mr. Rheinberger and his client on acquisition issues. The City will, of course, advocate its position from the appraisal that we have completed, but no doubt Mr. Rheinberger and his clients will secure yet another appraiser who will, of course, have a varying opinion on the issue of valuation. Together with the offers that were previously made to them, they may well influence the Commissioners to increase the award. appropriately. The Ritzers are also claiming relocation damage as a result of a claim that one of the Ritzer children is operating a storage or trucking type business from the location. That also, of course, could complicate the valuation issue. Mr. Grover Sayre April 5, 1999 Page 2 The City is now prepared to make the deposit with the Court as required with regard to the acquisition of this propert but, of course, needs access to the funds from valley Senior Services with which to do so. I have not yet received a written confirmation from anyone's office, yours or bond counsel, with regard to the placement of those funds with the bank. I do need to make that deposit within the next few days as construction equipment will be entering the area shortly. Please confirm with my office that the placement of the funds has been secured.
