MAYOR SMITH POLLED THE COUNCILMEN PRESENT AND IT WAS <br />A UNANIMOUS DECISION. <br />COMMISSIONER LOY ASKED IF THE CITY COUNCIL COULD PASS A RESOLUTION <br />SIMILAR TO THE ONE THE COUNTY HAS PROPOSED, <br />MAYOR SMITH STATED THAT THE RESOLUTION WILL BE PREPARED AND ON <br />THE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA FOR FORMAL ACTION TONIGHT. ATTORNEY CORDISCO <br />WILL PREPARE THE CITY'S RESOLUTION, <br />CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT OUR RESOLUTION WILL HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY - <br />CHANGED IF WE ARE GOING TO PAY $403,600 FOR THE LAND. <br />ATTORNEY COLLINGS WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD DO THAT.

THIS WAS ORIGINALLY A CITY REQUEST AND WE DO NOT SHARE YOUR <br />EXACT FEELINGS AS TO WHO THIS LAND BELONGS T0. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE <br />QUESTION WAS EXACTLY ADDRESSED BY THE JUDGE, IN THE COURT CASE DISCUSSED, <br />BECAUSE HE WAS ASKED TO ADDRESS SOMETHING ELSE. I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO COURT <br />AND STRING THIS OUT, BUT I WOULD FEEL VERY SECURE GOING TO COURT BECAUSE <br />I FEEL THAT LAND BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE ALREADY AND WE HAVE WORKED HARD TO <br />GET THIS STRAIGHT AS TO HOW WE CAN USE THESE FUNDS TO SECURE THIS BRIDGE, <br />-8- <br />CCT 51910 <br />
