[Vision2020] Christ Church To Donate $ To City?

I read that the board of elders of Christ Church are pondering, if they win 
their appeal of the revoked tax exemption, "donating some comparable amount to 
what the property tax would have been for city services, etc."

Of course if they lose their appeal it is possible, according to the 
suggestions of some V2020 list serve members, they may be required to pay double or 
more the tax not paid due to the previous exemptions.  Maybe this is wrong.

Is it possible the "donation" suggestion could be aimed at weakening the 
resolve of some to let the revoked tax exemptions stand?

Or is this a self serving attempt at improving public relations?

Or do they really feel that maybe they are skipping out on paying their fair 
share for public services?

Maybe the elders of Christ Church would like the option of choosing what 
public services they will support via making donations rather than taxation by 
law: sewer and parks deserve money, but not the public schools.  

Probably.
