Commissioners receive $14.4M appraisal for Canal View; sale concerns voiced
Summary
Chairman Tom Tikkanen presented an appraisal valuing Canal View at $14.4 million and asked that the matter be placed on the next agenda; several commissioners and a union representative said contacts advised against selling the property and pensions were raised as a concern.
Chairman Tom Tikkanen told commissioners the Board had received an appraisal valuing Canal View at approximately $14.4 million and requested the item be placed on the agenda for the Board’s regular meeting the following day. Commissioners Gretchen Janssen and Roy Britz reported that people they had spoken with advised against selling Canal View; both cited pension-related concerns as part of their reasoning. Jenny DeYacaza, a union representative, spoke during public comment and stated she supports Canal View.
