City staff told the committee the three parcels targeted for the Miranda School total $645,000 in appraised value: $535,000 for a four-family property, $65,000 for its associated lot, and $45,000 for a vacant lot on Massasoit Street.

Peter Garvey, director of Capital Asset Construction, told the committee the city identified three parcels needed to build the new Miranda School in Charles County and that appraisals were completed.

He described these as "friendly takings" and said staff did not plan to acquire additional property beyond what is needed for the school footprint.
