Regular Council Minutes 10-18-04 Page 4 Lloyd Chapman (Property Manager) Mr. Chapman said I ain pleased to say that we are one step closer to finalizing the purchase of the Lazzaro property. The deal was signed by the Probate Judge. We are simply pulling together the rest of the information concerning the title transfer. We will be reviewing and discussing the Civic Center lease to the Word of Grace. Lastly, the property owner who asked us if we might be interested in their property; we had transmitted a copy of the appraisal we had done only to find that they are not so sure they want to sell right now. So we have begun discussions about the possibility of some sort of a purchase option that at a future date would permit us to be first in line in that circumstance. We will be discussing that further. Chief David Mohr (Fire) Chief Mohr said we have concluded Fire Prevention Week last week and worked with all the first graders at Center Elementary School. That was a success. It is an ongoing project with the school.

It is some of the first Homeland Security money that we have actually seen. Philip Brett (Finance) I will have 2 personnel items at the next Council Meeting. At the next Caucus I would like to discuss some amendments to the appropriation ordinance.
