HAMPSHIRE PARK ACQUISITION Mr Brenna reviewed the situation dealing with Lots 1 & 2, Block 2, and Lots 1 & 2, Block 3, Hampshire Oaks Fourth Addition. The owners of said lots have refused our appraised figure. The owners stated that they would not pay the current years taxes and assessments in light of our figure. There remains three courses of action: 1. Condemnation Proceedings 2. Agree to aners' request (appraised price plus the 1966 taxes and special assessments) 3. Drop the matter.
