City Manager Brigham Mellor recommended approving the last two sale and mitigation contracts. Parcel 2885 is priced at $1,734,300 with a $1,500 timeliness incentive; UDOT's estimated cost to cure for the skate park, field, parking, lighting and landscaping is $1,527,873. A UDOT surplus parcel, the West End Public Works Yard, valued at $415,000 is credited against the price. Parcel 2885B covers easements, listed at $16,400 in the memo and $19,400 in the contract. The materials contain figures that do not reconcile, including the net due to the city.
