The value stated above is believed to be fair compensation for the property, and no Tess than its fair

estimated amount of $ 0 will be deducted to avoid duplication of benefits.
The following are the estimated duplication of benefits:
Flood insurance: $ 0 Repair Assistance: $ 0

Duplication of Benefits: $ 0
The following are the estimated amount of other benefits received. These amounts are not
deducted, however buyout proceeds will be reported to these entities. These entities may require
repayment of some or all of the benefit.

These deductions are estimates. A final determination on deductions will be made prior to closing.
The amount of compensation disregards any possible increase of the fair market value, which might
result from this property acquisition project. The fair market value of this property is estimated to
indicate the value before the event precipitating this property acquisition project. It does not reflect
any economic depreciation as a result of that event. In the determination of compensation, fair
market value is defined as, "the amount for which, in all probability, the property would be sold by a
knowledgeable owner willing but not obligated to sell to a knowledgeable purchaser who desired but
is not obligated to pay." This property has been valued in reference to its assessed value for

Yesterday the Council approved the purchase agreement for 234 Greenwood Ave. The agreement
document that I sent down in the Council Communication was a faxed copy. There are two owners that
needed to sign, one of which is from out of town. I will want to hold off on having the Mayor and Clerk
sign the agreement until I get the original. Jim Sulentic (the in -town owner) said he would get Richard
Malcolm (the out of town owner) to sign the original copy and will bring that in, probably next Monday.
Once I get it, I'II bring it down to your for signature by mayor and Clerk.
