Further discussion: Councilmember Look asked staff to investigate to ensure there were no other <br />options where the purchaser could locate. He stated he would not be voting in favor of this until <br />he was sure there was no other area for the purchaser to go. Councilmember Elvig stated the <br />City had already accepted some of the payment and had utilized some of the payment and he <br />believed it would be difficult to back out now. Councilmember McGlone stated the issue was <br />that people already knew the use, but the Council could not consider that in their judgment. He <br />stated he would be voting in favor of this because of that.
