He anticipated that in the future the City Council would develop a policy related to the sale <br />of these properties and the process that would be followed. <br />Member Stewart asked if the lease is renewed annually or whether there would be an option to <br />extend past 2025. <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan replied that this is a two-year lease with the end date in <br />2025.
