3. However, if you do not accept this offer, and we cannot come to an agreement on the acquisition of your property, the City has the right to file suit to condemn and acquire the property in the county in which the property is located. 4. You have the right to seek advice of an attorney, real estate appraiser, or any other person of your choice on this matter. 5. You may object to the public purpose and necessity of this project. 6. If the City files a suit to condemn and acquire your property and the court grants its request to condemn, the court will then appoint three appraisers who will make an independent appraisal of the property to be acquired. 7. If we both agree with the court appraisers' report, then the matter is settled. However, if either of us disagrees with the appraisers' report to the court, either of us has the right to ask for a trial to decide what should be paid to you for the property condemned. 8. If the court appraisers' report is not accepted by either of us, then the City has the legal option of depositing the amount of the court appraisers' evaluation with the court. And if such a deposit is made with the court, the City is legally entitled to immediate possession of the property. You may, subject to the approval of the court, make withdrawals from the amount deposited with the court. Your withdrawal will in no way affect the proceedings of your case in court, except that, if the final judgment awarded you is less than the withdrawal you have made from the amount deposited, you will be required to pay back to the court the amount of the withdrawal in excess of the amount of the final judgment. 9. The trial will decide the full amount of damages you are to receive. Both of us will be entitled to present legal evidence supporting our opinions of the fair market value of the property or easement. The court's decision may be more or less than this offer. You may employ, at your cost, appraisers and attorneys to represent you at this time or at any time during the course of the proceeding described in this notice. 10.
