negotiate for the purchase of up to 20.3 5 acres of vacant land

attached location map). Pursuant to negotiating procedures,
Management Team (MT) meetings were held on October 25, 1999, November
8, 1999 and November 22, 1999 in order to identify the specific

negotiations with Harry Speizer. The District commissioned two
separate independent appraisals for the subject property. The
