Body
Dear Sir:
At the Board meeting of November 15, 2018, the Board of Commissioners duly ordered the above stated action, Agenda Item No. 47, File No. 18-1189.
At the time of the November 15, 2018 Board meeting, the owner of the property had indicated that the residence was not occupied. However, the District has since learned that the property was occupied by tenants, Jurate Banioniene and Deividas Banionis. The District’s relocation consultant, Urban Relocation Services, Inc., has determined that these tenants are eligible for relocation costs in an amount not to exceed $16,594.00. These relocation costs are required to be paid by the District under the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act. This amount includes the maximum rental assistance payment and reasonable moving expenses. The amount is subject to adjustment based upon the actual costs incurred and will be paid from the Stormwater Management Fund. All other information provided in the transmittal letter is correct.
Accordingly, it is recommended that the aforementioned Board order of November 15, 2018 be amended to authorize the Executive Director to make intermittent payments to the tenants, Jurate Banioniene and Deividas Banionis, in an amount not to exceed $16,594.00, for eligible costs in connection with relocation, as provided for in the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act.
Requested, Susan T. Morakalis, General Counsel and Catherine A. O’Connor, Director of Engineering; STM:CAO:EMA:BJD:CN:nm
Recommended, Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
