that must be made in theforth in the resolution.
At the request of Mayor Martin, Mr. Nave briefly outlinedthe future progress of this procedure. First step would be thatof negotiation with Mr. Mljzzi in an attempt to acquire property
without the filing of a condemnation action. If contlemnation
actj-on became necessary, Mr. Muzzi would be entitleil to fil-epleadings on the issues of fair market value antl public necessity.
Given County Court schedule, it would probably be a year from
date before a court hearing. However, the City has the rightto deposit with the Court the arnount of present appraisal ,which wou.l-d freeze evaluation as of ilate of deposit. Mr. Muzzi
would be able to withdraw that amount as he sees fit, subjectto the restraints of the final judgment. This woultl give theCity the right of immediate possession.
