Number of pages attached: 1 Date(s) of review for release: JanuaryfJ 19+996 Date of approval for release: — a�9s 7111195 10:00 P.M. LITIGATION The Village Attorney brought the Village Board up to date on the status of negotiations for the condemnation of the Grove Mall . The Village Attorney stated that the previous settlement figure of $6. 1 million had been withdrawn due to the fact that the Grove Mall 's attorney had negotiated without receiving the proper authority from his clients. The village Attorney stated that he had spoken with the new authorized attorney and confirmed that the Village could settle at $6. 15 million. The Village Attorney recommended that the village approve that amount due to the fact that Jewel had agreed to give up their lease at no cost, thereby, saving the Village $40,000 and increasing the true cost of the settlement by only $10,000. The Village Attorney stated that if the Village Board approved the settlement figure the Village would be able to close on the property in October or November with the Village to take over the property in January of 1996. After further discussion, the consensus of the Village Board was as follows: -- to authorize the Village Attorney to negotiate a settlement of $6. 15 for the property, not including the Burger King; -- to have the contract place responsibility of the environmental study and obtaining the termination of the leases of all stores except for the Jewel on the Grove Mall; and -- to authorize the Village President, Village Attorney, and village Manager to develop a team of experienced professionals to provide financial, technical, and architecture consulting services in preparation for the redevelopment of the property. The meeting adjourned at 10:43 p.m.
