Alderman Tencza
Madam President, |’ll just say my recollection of discussion of this in Committee was that in going forward with
the Purchase & Sale it would allow the City to do some due diligence on the property now before the money
was approved. | don’t doubt that Alderman Jette had that conversation with Director Cummings, but we could
still pass this tonight. We would enter into the Purchase & Sale, I'll defer to Attorney Bolton or maybe ask
Attorney Bolton, | don’t believe there are any damages that the City would incur if for one reason or another we
had to pull out of the Purchase & Sale of this land in the future, correct?
Attorney Bolton
None that | know of, it’s always possible, but | don’t think it is a major concern. | think if the desire is to
purchase this property that can readily be accomplished, we are hardly down to our $300,000.00.
