Discussion was held regarding the (Eminent Domain) condemnation suit filed by the City of McHenry to acquire the Decker property north of Bull Valley Road adjacent to the proposed Brittany Heights Subdivision near Country Club Estates Subdivision. The Jury Trial resulted in an award of $175,000.00 for the 30.15 acres of riverfront property which the City plans to utilize for passive park use. Narusis reported that the City has 90 days from the date of the verdict, which was August 28, 1981, to make payment in full of $175,000.00 plus 6% interest from the date of the verdict to the date of the payment plus $49.00 filing costs. The payment is to be made to the County Treasurer and at which time the interest stops. Mayor Stanek explained there were two options for acquiring the money for land acquisition: 1. By using the $200,000.00 grant money for development of Knox Park which should be forthcoming early this fall; 2. By obtaining a G.O. (General Obligation) Bond and putting it on the tax bill and borrow the money over a period of time. Narusis explained that if the City did not purchase the property within the 90-day time period, the property owner would probably file a law suit against the City to recover the money he spent in defense of this law suit.
