Mr. Beck outlined a process he suggested the Council

with Stephens representatives to workout the details of the lease-purchase
agreement with the goal being to bring it the Council no later than February
5, 2001; submit a memo to the Council regarding a suggested process for preparing
a development plan for the property; and in January 2001, submit to the Council
an amendment to the FY 2001 budget for the Parks and Recreation Department
addressing personnel and equipment issues.
Assuming the Council follows the suggested process, Mr. Campbell
inquired as to when the City would take possession of the property. Mr. Beck
replied that it is believed the transfer could occur by February. He added that
staff is looking into the possibility of taking possession earlier than that.
Mr. Beck noted that the goal is to make the Stephens property available for public
use as soon as possible.
Mr. Campbell recognized Mayor Hindman and the Committee for
their hard work and dedication to this issue.
Mayor Hindman made the motion that the Council adjourn to
a closed meeting in the fourth floor conference room to discuss annual performance
evaluations of the City Manager, City Clerk, and Municipal Judge in accordance
