additional fees charged at 4% for normal business functions be removed;

Discussion among Councilmembers followed including concerns regarding
the marketing efforts that have been performed by Kosmont balanced
against their knowledge on the Surplus Land Act and Housing and
Community Development processes and service fees in the contract should
be removed. There was consensus to continue with Kosmont’s services

the breakdown between marketing and brokerage services should be
clarified and refined noting there could be crossover between the brokerage
and marketing services, and directing greater outreach to the local
community be included.
