Description

This appeal presents issues as to the award of costs and attorneys fees to the condemning authority in eminent domain cases. In the Scavenius case, the City brought an action to condemn easements for the construction, use and maintenance of a sanitary sewer line. A masters hearing resulted in an award of $516.00 from which the property owner appealed pursuant to Alaska R.Civ.P. 72(h)(5). Subsequently, the City served on the property owner an offer of judgment for $581.47 in accordance with Alaska R.Civ.P. 68. The offer of judgment was not accepted, and, eventually, the jury returned a verdict awarding no compensation. The City applied for an award of costs and attorneys fees which was denied by the trial Judge. The property owner appealed from the judgments failure to award compensation, and the City cross-appealed from the denial of its motion for attorneys fees and its application for a bill of costs.
