Public Works Director Jim Davis stated we have not yet acquired the two pieces of property necessary to complete this project. Attorney Herzog said the consistent position of Bob Mooney and Home & Patio has been that they would like to purchase the LaCava property and give it to the County, keeping enough to clarify access for parking and delivery vehicles or, in the alternative, to 28
