M AYOR Sam Katz said it's " unfortunate" the city is taking his former business partners to the expropriation process. Katz said he wasn't prepared to comment on the position taken by local developer Shindico, but said Shindico's bargaining stance might be the result of how its public image suffered for its role in the fire paramedic station replacement program. " I thought it would be unfortunate to go that ( expropriation) route because it's going to be a heavy expense," Katz said, adding the administration says it's been unable to resolve the issue with Shindico. The city has been negotiating with Shindico since November 2012 to purchase the Taylor Avenue property on which the new fire paramedic station No. 12 is built. Shindico originally offered the Taylor property to the city in 2010 for $ 900,000 but later said it preferred a land swap - three city properties, including two former fire halls and a parcel of riverfront land the city sold separately this week for $ 1 million. The former Berry Street fire hall sold for $ 257,000 and the city has an offer of $ 429,000 for the former River Heights fire hall on Grosvenor Avenue. The city administration allowed construction of the Taylor fire hall to start before the land swap was formalized and without council's knowledge. Angry councillors killed the swap in the fall of 2012 when they learned it hadn't been completed. Council ordered the administration to purchase the Taylor land from Shindico but negotiations have stalled. Shindico officials have refused to comment on the negotiations or the city's decision to go to expropriation. An administrative report released last week shows the two sides are close on the value of the Taylor property - $ 1 million versus $ 1.2 million - but the holdup is Shindico's insistence it be paid $ 844,000 for what it says is the loss in value to its adjoining property because of the presence of the new fire station. The administration says it can't support Shindico's position, explaining it was Shindico that suggested the fire hall be built on its property. The property and development committee unanimously endorsed the expropriation move Tuesday and executive policy committee did so Wednesday, with only Coun. Justin Swandel voting against the move. The expropriation proposal must still be approved by council. Katz said an independent provincial panel will now determine the appropriate price for the property and if Shindico deserves any further compensation. aldo. santin@ freepress. mb. ca Expropriation in Shindico dispute ' unfortunate': Katz City might punish staff for misstep ADMINISTRATION officials who allowed a fire paramedic station to be built on land the city doesn't own could face disciplinary measures. Mayor Sam Katz said there is momentum building to discipline staff responsible for the Taylor Avenue fire hall situation. " When you build something on someone else's land, that is the kind of mistake... that should not be made," Katz said Wednesday, adding those responsible could face discipline including demotions, suspensions, loss of pay and even dismissal. The city is taking developer Shindico to the expropriation process to acquire ownership of the firm's Taylor property where the new No. 12 fire paramedic station was constructed. " It hasn't happened to date," Katz said of the disciplinary measures, but added those discussions are taking place behind closed doors among members of council. The Taylor fire hall was one of four new fire halls Shindico was contracted to build in a program that was several million dollars over budget. A team of forensic auditors from consulting firm Ernst & Young concluded the program was mismanaged by city officials and plagued by unfair contract awards to Shindico. Shindico has disputed the E & Y findings, arguing the firm offered the city the lowest possible price. It's widely believed former chief administrative officer Phil Sheegl and former fire chief Reid Douglas were let go as a result of their roles in the fire hall replacement program, but city officials said their departures were not linked to that situation. Katz said a formal announcement will be made if anyone is disciplined in the aftermath of the fire hall program. - Aldo Santin By Aldo Santin FEB 27- MAR 9 MUSIC & SOUND DESIGN: CHRISTINE FELLOWS & JOHN K.
