In re: Vacating of Airport Road �.
Dear Dale:
This is to confirm our telephone conversation of this afternoon in which
you advised that there will be a "very substantial" claim for damages
made in connection with the vacating of a portion of Airport Road.
As to your query on whether the City followed the procedure of Chapter
306, the City followed the procedure of Chapter 364 in reliance on the
September 13, 1977 opinion of the Attorney General that Chapter 364
procedures on vacating take precedence over the Sec. 306 procedures by
virtue of Sec. 4. 7 providing that the more specific provisions take
precedence over the general . You are correct in noting that there has
been no court decision on that issue.
It is hoped that the claimants will state the amount of their claim at
their earliest convenience so that this can be factored into the finan-
cial planning for the Park. Under the terms of the agreement between
the City and the State for development of the ISU Research Park, the ISU
Research Foundation will reimburse the City for the amount the City is
obligated to pay as damages.
Very truly yours,
John R. *K '
