2 THE KCMO POLICE DEPARTMENT S EAST CAMPUS PROJECT The $57 million East Patrol Division/Crime Lab police campus planned for Prospect Avenue and 27th Street will have a significant economic impact on Kansas City s eastside citizens and businesses, while also benefiting the City s taxpayers. It is funded by Kansas City s 2010 Public Safety Sales Tax Renewal. The East Campus represents an unprecedented investment in the 3 rd District of Kansas City, Missouri. The East Campus will feature a police division station, a multi-purpose building, a state-of-the-art crime lab, and a property and evidence repository. By combining several critical capital improvement projects on one campus, we achieve economies of scale and use the Public Safety Sales Tax dollars in the most prudent way possible, said Colonel Jerry Gallagher of the Kansas City Police Department. Shared utilities and other shared facilities allow us to lower project construction and maintenance costs. At the same time, we improve the security of the surrounding area by our concentrated police presence. The Crime Lab will be better located to collect crime scene evidence and is in closer proximity to the Courts, according to Colonel Gallagher, saving time and money for the department. Other benefits are the site s close proximity to Hwy. 71, and how accessible the site is to people traveling by foot, bike, car or bus. The centralized location also serves as a redevelopment anchor for Prospect Avenue. There will be construction workers in the area for the two years the project is underway, and the City of Kansas City, Missouri, is working with HUD to be sure low-income residents and businesses benefit. The project is being leveraged to spark training and employment opportunities for low-income workers, and the project is governed by HUD Section 3 guidelines. Using formula developed by Economist Alex Carrick, it is estimated that the East Campus project will maintain 1140 jobs over the life of the project. Aggressive efforts are being made to ensure that the East Campus project will have a concrete positive effect on the neighborhoods it serves, as well as the City of Kansas City, Missouri as a whole.

4 NEWS RELEASE October 10, 2011 City Announces HUD designation for new Crime Lab and East Patrol Police Campus Federal designation increases relocation dollars for residents Residents in the four-block area selected as the campus site for a $57 million Crime Lab and East Patrol Police Station will be eligible for larger relocation packages after the City of Kansas City, Missouri entered an agreement with federal officials at Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The HUD designation required the project to be located in a blighted area. More than 50% of the properties in the project area are vacant, and only 25% are owner-occupied within the boundaries of the site, which is between Prospect and Brooklyn, and 26 th and 27 th Streets. About 60 residents will benefit from the new federal agreement, according to Don Frank, Division Manager of Right of Way and Relocation Services. We are working with individual property owners and renters to share the new relocation benefits package with them, said Mr. Frank. Our staff is helping to determine their relocation needs and preferences, explain the new benefits, and inform the residents they will receive their offers in early The City has initiated an Environmental Assessment and Historical Review that will take place during the next three months. At the same time, three independent appraisal companies will be providing appraisals on properties not previously purchased or owned by Land Trust. Another benefit now available to local workers and businesses is the federal provision known as Section 3, which helps foster local economic development, neighborhood economic improvement, and individual selfsufficiency through job training, employment and contracting opportunities for low- or very-low-income residents. Information about Section 3 and assistance to become eligible is available by calling the City s Human Relations Department at (816) (more)

6 EAST PATROL DIVISION/CRIME LAB Acquisition/Relocation Procedures with Federal Benefits Acquisition Process The City will have three (3) appraisals performed (the notice to proceed was mailed on October 4, 2011) on the properties to be acquired. The three commercial appraisal companies will have forty-five (45) days to complete these appraisals. We will then select the highest of these appraisals and adjust them for homestead value: an additional 25% for owner/occupants. Example: Mr. & Mrs. Smith own and occupy their home. The highest appraisal is $100, The offer would be $125, Highest appraisal plus 25%. and heritage value when the property has been in the family for 50 years, an additional 50%. Example: Mr. & Mrs. Smith have lived in their house for thirty years and it has been in their family for sixty years. The highest appraisal is $100, The offer will be $150, Highest appraisal plus 50%. A Homeowner can receive the Homestead (25%) or the Heritage (50%) The maximum amount is 50%. These offers will be mailed to property owners, who will then have thirty (30) days to respond. The offer can either be accepted at that time or a counter offer can be proposed. Once there is an agreed-upon price, the City will schedule a closing date. All closing costs will be paid by the City. After the City takes possession, the property owner will have ninety (90) days to vacate. The City will not vacate anyone who does not have a comparable house into which to move. Relocation Process Homeowners/Renters will be contacted at an early date and personally interviewed by a member of my staff to determine their relocation needs and preferences for replacement housing and other services. The information will be kept in strict confidence. Homeowners/Renters will be provided with referrals to housing that has been inspected to ensure that it meets established standards and if possible, to at least three comparable replacement homes.

7 A comparable replacement home is: o Decent, safe, and sanitary. o Functionally equivalent to their present home, with the same or more number of rooms and square footage. o Within the same general neighborhood. Every displaced person is entitled to relocation payments to cover reasonable moving cost. They may choose either: o Actual Reasonable Moving Expenses Payment, or o A Fixed Payment based on the number of rooms of furniture as shown on a schedule. o Actual moving expenses may include moving of goods and personal property and disconnecting and reconnecting appliances. Every displaced homeowner is entitled to a differential payment (the difference between the amount The City pays for the house and the comparable or actual replacement site cost, whichever is less (maximum $22,500.00). Example: Mr. & Mrs. Jones are being paid $45, for their 3 bedroom house. A comparable 3 bedroom house has been located close by for $60, They do not select the comparable house but rather find their own for $58, They would be entitled to a differential payment of $13, $58, $45, = $13, Had they selected a house that cost $65, they would have been eligible for a payment of $60, $ = $15, Every displaced renter is entitled to a rent differential payment. The difference between what is currently being paid for rent at the acquired site and the rent at a comparable or actual replacement rental site. Example: If the renter is paying $250.00/month for the apartment in the building being acquired and he/she moves to an apartment that costs $400.00/month and a comparable apartment is found and it rents for $415.00, then the rent differential payment would be $ $ = $ X 48= $7, $ difference because it is the lesser of the two. (Length of time is set by HUD). Homeowners/Renters will not be required to move without at least 90 days advance written notice. More importantly, Homeowners/Renters will not be required to move before a comparable replacement home is available to them.

8 BASIC APPRAISAL INFORMATION There are three approaches to value; the Sales Comparison Approach, sometimes called the Market Approach, the Cost Approach, and the Income Approach. Appraisals will be USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice) compliant. The Sales Comparison Approach will be used most for the properties in the East Patrol Project. The Sales Comparison Approach (Market Approach) an appraiser values the property based on similar properties which have recently sold. Adjustments are made to the comparables for significant elements of comparison. Generally three comparables are selected but more may be used. Comparables are chosen based on their similarity to the subject as well as their location and sales date. Market conditions impact the availability of comparables. This approached will most likely be used for the East Patrol Project for vacant lots and single family residential housing. Other approaches may be used also. The Cost Approach an appraiser values the land and then determines the cost to either replace or reproduce the improvements, less any depreciation due to Physical, Functional or External Obsolescence factors. Generally the cost approach is not used on older properties because of the significant amount of depreciation. However it may be used if no reliable data is available for the other two approaches. The Income Approach an appraiser values the property by estimating the Potential Gross Income, deducts Vacancy and Collections loss, adds any miscellaneous income, deducts Fixed and Variable expenses then capitalizes the Net Operating Income; this produces the present worth. Generally the Income Approach is not used on residential housing because most do not produce an income. This approach may be used on commercial or income producing properties along with other approaches. Items the appraiser uses for comparison In the Sales Comparison Approach Location Site size View Design/ Style Quality of construction Age of Improvements Condition of improvements Number of bedrooms Gross Living area Basement and basement finish Functional Utility Heating / cooling Garage / Carport Porch / Patio /deck Fireplaces Energy Efficient Items Page 1 of 2
