advertised for the re- allocation of unexpended CDBG funds from
prior years.

The property under consideration is the northwest 2 acres of a

Spring Road. The original 7.59 acre parcel was purchased by the

police facility. After selecting a design for the police
facility, it was determined that the 2 acres at the northwest
end of the parcel are not required for completion of the police
station and other commitments. This land was appraised for
approximately $653,175. A copy of the staff report to the
Budget and Finance Committee was provided to Councilmembers
