Minutes of the Combined Caucus/Council Meeting 6-11-07 Page 3 Council President Buckholtz asked that before the presentations are given, he would like to advise that Councilman Tom Marrie had a procedure done today but he is doing fine.

PRESENTATION BY TOlvI FIlVI FROM RCU ARCHITECTS Mr. Fini provided a brief presentation on the new upcoming police station. In sum, Mr. Fini highlighted the plans and shared drawings and features with Council, including the proposal for solar. The site is about 132 feet wide.
