If I can get a quick sale I'll avoid the capitals gain tax, but that may not happen.

If you are holding less than a year you would get hit with short term gains.If you hold for a years time you would get hit with long term capital gains.If you defer the gains with a 1031 after holding a year and selling to the city then you will not pay anything if done correctly.While there is no rule on 1031's case law and 1031 companies site 1 year as being safe to do a 1031.Anything less than that and the IRS has been challenging you are holding for resale purposes and not investment purposes.Simply have the city purchase after your 1st year of ownership is up if you want to avoid the gains taxes and do a 1031.
