R-47 and the Authority agreed to reim- burse said City the cost of said land acquisition. In accordance with this agreement the City has implemented the necessary eminent domain proceedings to accomplish such acquisition, and such pro- ceedings have progressed to the approval of the final order on February 26, 1969, C.F. No. 242323. The four property owners involved have requested the City, (through their attorneys) , by letter, to discontinue the condem- nation proceedings so as to permit the Housing and Redevelopment Authority to commence its own condemnation proceedings for the purpose of acquiring the said real estate, and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority has concurred in such a proposal. Therefore, we the City's Land Committee recommend that the City Council also approve such request, and that the final order in the current eminent domain proceedings, Council File No. 242323, approved February 26, 1969 be rescinded in its entirety, and that the City Clerk notify the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of such action, to enable the Authority to initiate its own condemna- tion proceedings to acquire the said real estate.
