City Administrator Larson indicated that the City will need to restructure the Purchase Agreement to allow an extended option on 2/3 to obligate the City at this time to 1/3 of it because the dollars cannot be committed in order to qualify for the grant. Council Member Lee indicated he would be fine with it if the Board of Water Commissioners agrees but he wants to revert to the original option.

Council Member Lee indicated he would like Staff to work with the Board of Water Commissioners to see what they would agree to. Council agreed to an option payment but expressed concern with losing the right to purchase the property or having the price change. Council agreed to make sure that the City does not lose the property or pay more money but would like to get the grant if at all possible.
