"Did he or didn’t he? That’s the debate that’s apparently cropped up over a claim by the owners of BG Plaza in Beaverton that Mayor Denny Doyle during a private meeting Friday told them the city is no longer interested in condemning the property to make room for a baseball stadium.".....

Actually the correct statement is for now the city is not interested in condemning...basically they would rather try negotiating first before making that an option.
If you were in negotiation with your city that wanted your property, you would be much more angry if they started the negotiations off with, "if you dont sell to us, we will just condemn your property, so how can we make this work?"
If the Briggs family doesnt budge over negotiations, they I could see that becoming an option by the end of the year.
Also, I was over in that part of Beaverton today and I have to say, a ballpark there would definitely change the feel of that area and could be what the city needs to make the Round more a part of the city...they really do need to push for a better urban core to their city anyway.
