The property owners rejected the City's best offer of $679,250, which amount was based on the first two appraisals received, plus a bonus.

At the Commission meeting of January 8, 1987, an offer to purchase the Simon tract for $760,000, based on the third appraisal but not inclusive of a twelve-year leasehold estate, was presented to the Commission for approval but was rejected. At the same meeting, the City Commission directed staff and the City Attorney to negotiate the total interest acquisition of the property. On February 26, 1987, via Motion 87-2111, the City Commission authorized and directed the City Manager to extend to March 12, 1987 present negotiations in connection with proposed construction of the police substation.
