• Property owners must be able to recover all or a portion of the costs that they incur
• Amend the landowner bill of rights to:
  • clarify that some property may be included that the condemnor has no legal authority to condemn
  • offers should separate property that the condmenor wants to purchase and an offer for property that may be condemned
• There should be penalties for condemnors that do not disclose all appraisals
