In one aspect, I agree that the back bay area should be developed with $1 million to the city for the sale ASAP. But in another aspect, suppose another developer is willing to pay $1.4 million for the property? This means that the city would earn an additional $400,000 on the sale and perhaps cover most of the beach patrol budget next year. I know one shot deals are not the best way to manage city budget shortfalls but we need to keep in mind the taxpayers' financial benefit. Send it out to bid and let's see what the bids come back at.
