BACKGROUND:
On April 01, 2025, the Board of County Commissioners approved and authorized the acquisition by eminent domain of a portion of Assessor's Parcel Number 162-22-502-004 (ENP Nevada, Inc.) needed for construction of the Maryland Parkway Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project. The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) in conjunction with their consultant, AtkinsRealis, have been assisting the County to obtain the necessary rights-of-way for the aforementioned project. AtkinsRealis presented an offer based upon the appraised value in the amount of $77,615; however, the offer was declined by the owner. Subsequent negotiations reached an impasse; thus, litigation was initiated.
The property owner's counsel proposed a counteroffer of $165,000. Upon extensive negotiations between the County's legal counsel and the opposing counsel, a proposed settlement has been reached to acquire a portion of the parcel for $127,115. Acceptance of the settlement will avert additional costs associated with litigation, potential interest payment and a possible judgement in excess of the proposed settlement. Staff believes that the proposed settlement is reasonable, justified, and in the best interest of the County.
Authorization to approve and authorize the proposed settlement is now being sought from the Board.
