Risk Analysis:

Without these lands, the improvement on Howard Avenue and South Cameron Boulevard will not be possible.

Financial Matters:

As the purpose of this report is for City Council to consider whether or not to take the required lands, there are no financial considerations required for this report other than the making of the payment to the owner for the appraised value of the property under section 25 of the Expropriations Act. The Howard Ave - South Corridor Infrastructure project (ECP-003-08) was previously reported for this same area. Therefore, there is approved funding for the project to acquire land. Pre-commitment of funding approval in 2023 of $100,000 and 2024 of $2,834,000 was adopted by Council at its meeting held May 25, 2020 (CR269/2020).

Consultations:

Frank Scarfone, Manager of Real Estate Services

Melissa Osborne, Senior Manager of Asset Planning

Mark DiPasquale, Financial Planning Administrator

Conclusion:

That the City Council of the City of Windsor sitting as an approving authority, approves the expropriation of the above described lands and that the City Solicitor be authorized to proceed with a Certificate of Approval to be executed by the City Clerk and Chief Administrative Officer and the registration of a Plan of Expropriation and all other documents necessary to complete the transaction and to make the section 25 Offer of Compensation consistent with the City’s appraisal of the land.
