Direct Staff to enter into formal negotiations with the property owner at the next regularly scheduled <br />City Council meeting as well as ordering an appraisal for the property. . <br /> <br />Action Statement: <br /> <br />Provide staff with direction regarding negotiations with Bury and Carlson for the future Public Works <br />Campus project. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: ., J /' . ~ n <br />City Administrator ,d2-~ <br /> <br />CCWS: <br /> <br />10/02/07 . <br /> <br />-7- <br />
