7. PROGRESS REPORTS, Continued you have land appraised by two competent appraisers, you then have a re- view appraiser come in and review the work of the other two and see if they are accurate. The Review Appraiser corrects anything that needs to be corrected and as a result of his work, we then bring the matter to the Commission and they determine a price. The appraisers arrive at in- dependent figures - then the reviewing appraiser reviews all the work and recommends a selling price. Ms. Derbeck: This stay order is not in effect now, but it did also stay you from appraising such property as, say Wyman's, and other things which wer not going to be torn down? Mr. Brownell: Its very difficult to answer that question because so far as I am concerned a stay order was never written, I have never seen it.. I don't know what it says, the court simply says I will stay... Ms. Derbeck: Do you feel that it restricted you? Mr. Brownell: We didn't take any chances on violating the Judge's order, when he said "stay ", we stayed. That's the way it is..the only thing that was mentioned that was a violation that they mentioned was that a committee was set up by the city to select an architect. I don't think anything els has been charged as a violation of any kind. Ms. Derbeck: Have the appraisers been able to get into Ms. Berg's and Ms. Haw ey's? Mr. Brownell: Yes, both appraisers got in, they wouldn't let them go through the place but they did get inside. Mr. Anderson: I may be beating a dead horse but are you back on any kind of lime table? Mr. Brownell: At the present moment, we are 30 to 45 days behind our original sch dule. Mr. Anderson: It is not serious - or fatal to the project? Mr. Butler: Not fatal but we were operating within a very close time frame anyway and this simply makes it that much tighter. Lary Ford: Since you are operating under a tight time table, are you at liberty to disclose how much delay you have suffered? Mr. Butler: Basically, we have a deadline of April of 1979 to have the pro erty available and there are about 25 steps within the process as set up in the time table—there is not much leeway at all and it's much tighter thar any other project in the past. Ms. Derbeck: At the moment you are not under a stay and are going ahead wit the appraising..you say that would take another 30 - 60 days? Mr. Brownell: No, I said that it could take up to 90 days, that of course is an estimate.
