For the Real Property<\/a> on dead on arrival vice avenue for 5 million i had a few issues i know there is gone through committee and john updyke will be here to speak to some of the concerns specifically with the lack of appraisal for one of the properties in my understanding you have new information to present to the board in order to support the boards decision to purchase without an appraisal director john updyke. John updyke director of real estate youre correct in the hearing before the budget finance the members expressed skefrndz about the back up support particular for the acquisition of goggling vest and since that time we secured an independent analysis of values in the area providing by cv R Real Estate<\/a> and that information has been priority to the budget analyst so perhaps theyll comment but it provides a number of compatible sales a total of 7 were located 5 are data points on behalf of or more steven than the Purchase Price<\/a> for the cal vest prompted 2 ploy we believe strongly adjusts within the fair market range that was based on the report but updated data confirm that ill be happy to to go into that. I wonder if many rose or his members have a change to valley harvey rose not seen it not evaluated that data. Ongoing mr. Updyke when did you present this to those the budget analyst. Immediately upon receipt thursday of last week. Supervisor peskin. Maam, and colleagues and understand that acquisition of this site is quite necessary for a project that has long been in the making relative to where the sewer digestser im troubled by not only the issues that you and the budget analyst raised that mr. Updyke respond to im troubled by the fact no uniform policy in our city how we go about acquiring Real Property<\/a> other cities and other governments actually have rules as to and i prevails being required for the acquisition of properties or properties above a certain level in any cities and states and disposing requirement how the appraisals are reviewed compatible sales are interesting but absent an analysis is not the kind of subject matter rear that the budget analyst is familiar or trained in 245s up to someone that is a member of the Appraisal Institute<\/a> so im going to vote for this another item on the calendar that gets to policy but i think we should have a collective policy discussion about perhaps amanda the administrative code to set those policy perimeters in place so the future we actually have an appraisal prepared that is been reviewed as to the adequacy having said that, this is important and that sale data is before us whether it is analyzed by the budget analyst and all vote but lets clean up this. Thank you, supervisor peskin. Supervisor cowen. Thank you very much madam president i will be voting to support 24 but supports any even consistentness i feel not like the manner in which this was really brought to us i feel lie or like it was rushed leave behind the scenes and conversations that had to happen between the Department Heads<\/a> and myself and ultimately mr. John updyke to get to the point to recognize the portions ever importance of this property i dont want to ultimately interfere with the timeline the timeline will be very, very costly for price payers, however, im in agreement with what supervisor peskin mentions for more a a thorough constructive conversation and evaluation of property too much money on that piece but nfl few opposite im going to hold my nose and vote for that. Thank you supervisor cowen, supervisor avalos. Thank you supervisor president breed id like to occur or concur with the comments of supervisor peskin we dont have a clear status how we had an appraisal is different standard for how we treat the properties by the city vers th citizens want to use for instance, i have a resident that has been negotiating to pretty much land that the city will never use and gotten the highest appraisal and decided after years of negotiation not purchasing the property it didnt do anyone any good to make the improvements on the land is a huge benefit for the neighborhood by in this case were going an appraisal that is not the best deal so i think in terms of how we set standards but how we treat the residents and the benefits and advantages we give ourselves.
