The actual motion www.voteno204.org/DisMotion.pdfIMO, all just legal manuvering in negotiations. Heck if they want to play hardball, the SD and the city of Aurora could in turn go in cahoots, rezone it to something that could cause the land value to go down. Since we have 25 acres already. Aurora coulsd say only certain thing s can open within 500 feet of any new school; depressing the land value. It's all negotiation games. |

That doesn't mean it's invalid though. It is possible that even if the judge doesn't throw the case out entirely like the defendant wants, that the judge could ask for new valuations and the school board might have to pay more money for the land. If the valuation comes in at double the original offer, would the SB have enough money to continue the purchase and the building of the school?
As for the rezoning, the city and the SD could try to do a lot of things, but if they are not in place right now or not even on the table for discussion I doubt that the judge would use that in his decision.
It might be a slim chance, but if it does get thrown out, then all those boundary discussions would have been a waste of time.

I would be concerned that even if they renegociate the price - say even 20% so we would pay 308,400/acre, that would mean the SB would have to come up with and additional 2,827,000 on top of what they are requesting. That is not what the referendum is asking for. WHere would the additional money come from? Also, should this not have been all worked out prior to the referendum? This could take years to negoiate (not to mention attorney fees), at that point, we are over a barrel because we would have started to build on the existing 25 acres.

That was actually a really good issue brought up. Thanks for the clarification.

28 million for land is not games, that is real money and we could create a lot of extra school space for 28 million? www.voteno204.org/index.html |

That's how much the BB trust claims the property to be worth (their words "in excess of 500,000 an acre"
They actually made a counter offer to the SD at 420k/acre.

Correct....the 500k/acre is way out there. I asked, the SD will not go that high..not even close, but I also think it will end up being more than the 257k/acre they offered.....
How much higher?......I have no clue.....the BB atty's have requested a jury trial.

Has it occured to anyone that this is just legal positioning by lawyers that have a vested interest in a failed referendum? If I had to point to one group that had the most at stake and would benefit the most from a failed referendum, it would be the BB estate and attys. That motion probably cost them next to nothing to file, and look at all of the bad press it has created ... in their best interest.

So what happens if the referendum passes and they don't get the land?  ?? This is a huge concern of mine. You never know what judge is going to be looking at this. |

You should email the board with that question. It might be more comforting to talk in person, at one of the coffees. I understand how difficult that might be with younger children.

I asked this at the Coffee with the Board session I went to. Here is my interpretation of their answer. If the Ref Passes, and the BB site becomes too expensive. They will walk away from the site and reevaluate the other sites and deal with their "shortcomings". Which would also lead me to believe they would sell back the 25 Acres they already have to BB. Which other site? I know which one I would like  . another clue I have heard repeatedly was if and when the SD enrollment declines many many years away and IF they were to have to sell off a HS (WVHS the prime candidate); they do NOT want NVHS to be the northernmost HS. Now I understand the motion is commonplace and I am sure not the last one to be filed, one cannot summarily dismiss anything and must prepare for the every contingency. IMHO I also know what judge is assigned the case PM me if you want to know. |

ok, just to satisfy my own curiosity I found where the motion to dismiss was originally discussed.
The jury trial is mentioned in this thread.
