" ~ . Mrs. Stromquist 12-1 and 12-3 July 20, 1970 Page 4 In view of Mr. Membrez's estimate and my confidental discussion with Mr. Bettendorf, I consider the awards to be extremely reason- able and would strongly recommend the Village not appeal them. This matter and my recommendation in regard thereto should be placed on the agenda for the next Village council meeting. Should the Council not heed my recommendation and decide to appeal this matter, you are hereby advised that the Village has 40 days from the date of filing, i.e., July 16th, 1970, in which to file an appeal. Therefore, a determination must of necessity be made at the next council meeting. j i One other item that should be placed on the agenda along with the foregoing is the matter of compensation of the commissioners. As you will note, from the last page of the Report, each of the commissioners spent a total of 7 days in the contemplation, review, consideration ~nd hearing of this condemnation proceeding, and, pursuant to the District Court's Order appointi~gthese commissioners which set their fee at $50.00 per day, each of them is entitled to compensation from the Village in the amount of $350.00. I recommend that the Council authorize the Village offic\;!rs to issue drafts in the amount of/$350.00 payable to the order of each commissioner, the names of whom are on the last page of the Report. If the Council does authorize payment, woula you kindly forward the three drafts to me, and I will see that the commissioners are paid. This letter had been lengthy because I wanted fully to explain what has transpired in this condemnation proceeding and fully to apprise you as to what the present posture thereof is. If you have any questions, please give me a call. Very truly yours, or VINCENT P. C RTNEY, Attorney for the Village of Arden Hills JSL:plh Enc. P.S. Enclosed herewith are statements for each of the commissioners. JSL
