appraisals to determine if any damages to remaining property had been inadvertently
omitted. The Council also instructed the City Manager to request the County Right -
of-Way Department to have their negotiators contact the property owners and make
an offer to them on the basis of the low appraisal and in those cases where they
have determined that the property cannot be acquired on this offer, to notify the
City of Baytown so that condemnation proceedings can be instituted.
