It is difficult to <br />"negotiate" a settlement at public meetings between two different public <br />agencies and with an assessment appeal hanging over the situation. An <br />option is to pick an amount and, in effect, say that this is our best and final <br />offer, and make it a take it or leave it situation. If we don't say this at some <br />point in time, we can have negotiations at public meetings for an extended <br />period of time, which, again, will do neither the school or the city any good. <br />
