Background:
The City of Broken Arrow’s Right of Way Agent contacted the property owners John Sanford, Cynthia Gayle Sanford, and Sanford Farms, LLC, in relation to the acquisition of a parcel of vacant land for the Aspen, Shreveport to Tucson Roadway Improvements. The Sanfords received the offer letter and refused the offer. A counteroffer received by John Sanford, however no appraisal was provided to justify the request.

The attached Resolution of Necessity No. 1645 recommends that condemnation proceed on Parcels 8.0 and 8.A, for the described parcels.
