According to the letter from Mitchell and Clumpner, the commission pulled the plug on its outside appraisal of the Hotel Circle property only after commissioners forwarded the issue to the city Housing Authority, which oversees the commission as the city council. “In deference to the legal process and to avoid interfering with the pending litigation related to this property, SDHC did not pursue the new appraisal and evaluation of the previous appraisal at that time.”
