certification has been received from James Lawrence to rehabilitate a home in
the Nelson neighborhood at 1397 6th Street. The home is located in a
Neighborhood Enterprise Zone. The application states that the estimated cost

home is located in a Neighborhood Enterprise Zone. The application states that

D. Sale of Buildable Vacant Lot at 363 Merrill Avenue. PLANNING &
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve the sale of a vacant buildable lot at 363
Merrill Avenue (Parcel #24-205-389-0002-00) to Carlos Martinez, 369 Merrill
Avenue, Muskegon, MI. The lot is 66 X 132 ft. and is being offered to Carlos
Martinez for $1 ,000 plus the fee to register the deed. Carlos Martinez will be
combining this property with his existing property, which would be considered
unbuildable should his home be destroyed over 50%. His property is 33 x 132 ft.
He would like to fence the property and add a slider with a deck. The True Cash
Value (TCV) for the property listed in the Assessor's office is $10,000, and our
price is set at $7,500 which is 75% of that amount. The City has owned the
property since 1992 and there have been no inquiries for potential construction.
The Land Reutilization Committee is recommending approval of the sale at
lesser price due to the size of Carlos Martinez's current property, and the True
Cash Value of this property seemed a little higher than other areas for the same
size property. The Land Reutilization Committee looked at the values of other
properties in the City, there has been a lot of new construction in the areas of
Jackson Hill and Marquette neighborhoods and the values of the same size
property or larger had a True Cash Value less than the properties in Nelson
Neighborhood. Staff also sent a letter to the other adjacent property owner
offering to sell half of the property to them, no interest was shown.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The sale of this lot to the adjacent property owner will
generate additional tax revenue for the City and will place the property back
on the City's tax rolls thus relieving the City of continued maintenance costs.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the resolution and to authorize both the
Mayor and the Clerk to sign the resolution and deed.
E. Approval of 2005 - 2006 Subrecipient and Community Housing
Development Organization (CHDO) Agreements. COMMUNITY &
NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To direct the Mayor and City Clerk to sign all of the
2005-2006 approved agreements for the City's subrecipients and CHDO's. The
City Commission approved the funding for each of the nonprofits last spring
during the City's Consolidated Planning process.
1. West Michigan Veteran's $5,000
2. HealthCare Project $5,000
3. American Red Cross $5,000
Also to have the Community Housing Development Organization agreements
signed by the following agencies.
1. Neighborhood Investment Corporation $70,000
2. Habitat for Humanity $35,000
After the Mayor and Clerk sign the contract, the CNS office will retain one copy
for our files and a copy will be supplied to the appropriate nonprofit for their
records.

HOME programs.

2005-75 NEW BUSINESS:
A. Construction Contract for the Former Mall Area Project. ENGINEERING
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: As a result of staff's negotiations with Milbocker and
Sons please consider the following options (the original bid was $2,538,989 .05;
with the snowmelt removed it is $1 ,7 64,7 63.95):
1. An additional $15,000 reduction with a completion date for the entire
project in 2005.
2. An additional $28,000 reduction if the project completion was extended
to 2006 with some concrete work being completed in 2005.
3. An additional $43,000 reduction if the project completion date was
extended to 2006 with all of the concrete work done in 2006.
4. Reject all bids, re-bid and award project in 2005 with start and completion
dates in 2006.
The first three options include minority participation and a commitment from the
president of the company to volunteer (4) four hours a month for at least (6) six
months to train minority contractors on biddings and other related issues. The
third option calls for a minority concrete contractor (Martin J Concrete) who
would not be available until 2006 but also has not done much concrete work
similar to that called for on this project.
The additional savings referenced above are in addition to savings resulting
from eliminating the snowmelt system. Should you choose any of the first three
options, it is respectfully requested that a contract be awarded to Milbocker
and Sons.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Depends on the option selected.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None at this time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: City staff and the DMDC (Downtown Muskegon
Development Corporation) will present a recommendation at the time of the
meeting.
Motion by Commissioner Spataro, second by Commissioner Gawron to approve

B. Michigan Main Street/Community Requirements and Expectations
Agreement. PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The Michigan Economic Development Corporation
(MEDC) requires that the local community (i.e., City of Muskegon) enter into an
agreement with the local Main Street Board and MEDC. The agreement outlines
the support to be provided. There is no financial obligation by the City of
Muskegon to support the program. The commitments relate to cooperation and
support. If, for some reason, the agreement is not adhered to, the only
repercussion is that the agreement would be null and void.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the agreement and authorize the City
Manager to sign.
Motion by Commissioner Spataro, second by Commissioner Shepherd to
approve the Michigan Main Street/Community Requirements and Expectations
Agreement.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Spataro, Warmington, Carter, Davis, Gawron, Larson, and
Shepherd
Nays: None
MOTION PASSES
C. Amendment to Notice of Intent Resolution. FINANCE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Previously the City Commission approved a notice of
intent resolution for up to $7.5 million bonds to be used for a new central fire
station and certain recreation projects. Staff is still refining the size and details of
this bond issue, however, it is clear that one of the main components originally
contemplated (second ice sheet) is not financially feasible. The purpose of this
amendment is to add language to the notice of intent to provide flexibility to
allow proceeds from this bond issue to also be used for water system
improvements, in the event this becomes necessary. It appears that final
filtration plan improvement project costs will be higher than originally
anticipated. If. cash generated from the new water rates and summer usage will
be adequate to cover the additional filtration plant project costs, it will not be
necessary to borrow for this purpose. Any amounts that are borrowed for water
improvements would, of course, be repaid from the water fund.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The immediate cost associated with this action is the cost of
re-publication in the Chronicle.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None at this time. The cost of the newspaper
publication can be covered within the current budget. Once bonds are sold,
debt service will be budgeted over the life of the bonds (20 years).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the resolution.
Motion by Vice Mayor Larson, second by Commissioner Gawron to approve the
amendment to the Notice of Intent Resolution.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Carter, Davis, Gawron, Larson, Shepherd, Spataro, and
Warmington
Nays: None
MOTION PASSES
D. Extension of Contract to Market Seaway Industrial Park. PLANNING &
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: In 2004 C & A Commercial Real Estate was selected as
the company to market Seaway Industrial Park properties, as well as one
property located on Getty Street. A nine-month real estate agreement was
originally signed by the Mayor with a six-month extension signed by the City
Manager in December 2004. Staff feels that Commission should review the
performance of C & A Commercial Real Estate in order to determine if there
should be another extension of the agreement for a six-month time period.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The continued timely sale and development of these
properties will bring more jobs to Muskegon in the near future, thus additional
income tax being generated.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the resolution and authorize the Mayor
and Clerk to sign the said resolution.
Motion by Commissioner Gawron, second by Commissioner Spataro to approve
the resolution extending the contract to market Seaway Industrial Park for six
months.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Gawron, Larson, Shepherd, Spataro, Warmington, Carter, and
Davis
Nays: None
MOTION PASSES
E. Directional Signage. PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve the location of directional signage in
Muskegon and allow the signs to be placed in City right-of-way, with the
conditions outlined in the correspondence from Cindy Larsen, Chamber of
Commerce President.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Chamber will be providing the signs with an additional
amount of funding for future maintenance of the signs.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION : To approve the location of the signs and accept the
signs and maintenance funding from the Chamber of Commerce.
Motion by Commissioner Gawron, second by Commissioner Carter to approve
the location of the signs and accept the signs and maintenance funding from
the Chamber of Commerce.

RE: Sale of Buildable Vacant Lot at 363 Merrill Ave.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
To approve the sale of a vacant buildable lot at 363 Merrill Avenue (Parcel #24-205-389-
0002-00) to Carlos Martinez, 369 Merrill Avenue, Muskegon, MI. The lot is 66 x 132ft. and
is being offered to Carlos Martinez for $1,000 plus the fee to register the deed. Carlos
Martinez will be combining this property with his existing property, which would be
considered unbuildable should his home be destroyed over 50%. His property is 33 x 132 ft.
He would like to fence the property and add a slider with a deck. The True Cash Value
(TCV) for the property listed in the Assessor's office is $10,000, and our price is set at
$7,500 which is 75% of that amount. The City has owned the property since 1992 and there
have been no inquiries for potential construction. The Land Reutilization Committee is
recommending approval of the sale at a lesser price due to the size of Carlos Martinez's
current property, and the True Cash Value of this property seemed a little higher than other
areas for the same size property. The Land Reutilization Committee looked at the values of
other properties in the City, there had been a lot of new construction in the areas of Jackson
Hill and Marquette neighborhoods and the values of the same size piece of property or
larger had a True Cash Value less than the properties in Nelson Neighborhood. Staff also
sent a letter to the other adjacent property owner offering to sell half of the property to them,
no interest was shown.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The sale of this lot to the adjacent property owner will generate additional tax revenue for the
City and will place the property back on the City's tax rolls thus relieving the City of
continued maintenance costs.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
To approve the attached resolution and to authorize both the Mayor and the Clerk to sign
said resolution and deed.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Land Reutilization Committee recommends approval of the sale with the condition that
the property be combined with the owner's original parcel.

supported by R. Hill and unanimously approved.
OLD BUSINESS
363 Merrill Ave. -Request to sell the buildable lot (66 x 132) at 363 Merrill for $1,000. An
offer was made to split this lot between the two adjacent property owners. The City has owned
this property since 1992. Carlos Martinez owns and lives in the adjacent property at 369 Merrill.
He would like to purchase the lot at 363 Merrill and has offered $1,000 for it. His property is 33 x
132 which is considered an unbuildable lot. He would like to purchase the City lot to combine
with his existing home and fence it off so his children will have a safe place to play. He would
also like to put in a sliding door on the side of the home facing the lot. In order to accomplish
this, the building code requires that there be steps for it. He would like to build a deck for the
slider to go out to, but he doesn't have enough property on the side of his home to meet the side
setback requirements. He does have a garage on his property. At this time, he is not looking to
expand his home. Should his home be destroyed over 50%, he would not be able to rebuild on the
lot he has. He would like to remain in the neighborhood. Rhonda Rogers owns the property on
the other side of the City lot, with an address of 1337 6'h St. Staff sent Ms. Rogers a letter
offering to sell her part of the property and informing her that the other adjacent property owner
was interested in purchasing the property. She has shown no interest in any part of the property.
Staff recommends approval of the request to sell the entire lot to Mr. Martinez. It would need to
go before the City Commission for final approval. Any past due water bills or property taxes
would have to be paid prior to the sale being completed. The purchaser would pay for registering
the deed.
A motion to recommend approval to the City Commission of the request to sell the vacant lot at
363 Merrill to Carlos Martinez for $1,000 plus the cost of registering the deed, with the condition
that the property be combined with his existing property, was made by R. Hill, supported by J.
Martin, Jr. and unanimously approved.

Dear Mr. Mazade,
The Great Lakes Naval Memorial and Museum is requesting permission from the city to
alter their property permanently with a retaining wall and a picnic pavilion.
The retaining wall would run 48" high around the hill near USCGC McLANE's berth.
Depending on financing, the wall could be built in sections-totaling about 125 feet long.
We are also asking permission should, due to unforeseen events, the wall need to exceed
the 48"
The picnic pavilion is designed by Hughes Builders at 24' by 24' for a total of 13,000
square feet. This would include a cement floor and electrical fixtures for lights. This
also would be located behind the current corporate building near McLANE and be
permanent even through the construction of the new museum. The proper permits are
being applied for.
Both structures would be erected during the United Way's Day of Caring on September
9, 2005.
Bill Plough from the United Way and Mohammed Al-Shatel from the city visited our site
on July 26, 2005. Mr. Al-Shatel verbally approved of our plans at that time pending
permits and drawings.
Sincerely

RE: Construction Contract for the Former Mall Area Project
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
As a result of staff's negotiations with Milbocker and Sons please consider the following
options (the original bid was $2,538,989.05; with the snowmelt removed it is
$1 ,764,763.95):
1- An additional $15,000 reduction with a completion date for the entire project in 2005.
2- An Additional $28,000 reduction if the project completion was extended to 2006 with
some concrete work being completed in 2005.
3- An additional $43,000 reduction if the project completion date was extended to 2006
with All of the concrete work done in 2006.
4- Reject all bids, re-bid and award project in 2005 with a start & completion dates in 2006.
The first three options include minority participation and a commitment from the president
of the company to volunteer four (4) hours a month for at least six (6) month to train
minority contractors on biddings and other related issues. The third Option calls for a
minority concrete contractor (Martin J Concrete) who would not be available until 2006 but
also has not done much concrete work similar to that called for on this project.
The additional savings referenced above are in addition to savings resulting from
eliminating the snowmelt system. Should you chose any of the first three options, it is
respectfully requested that a contract be awarded to Milbocker and Sons.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Depends on the option selected.

Default"):
(i) any representation or covenant made by the Community and/or its
Local Main Street Program is determined by the MEDC, in its
reasonable judgment, to be incorrect at the time that such
representation or covenant was made in any material respect,
including, but not limited to, the Reports and compliance with laws
as required under this Agreement;
(ii) the Community and/or its Local Main Street Program's failure to
comply with any of the covenants of this Agreement;

the MEDC shall provide Final Notice of Termination ("Final Notice"),
which shall be effective as of the date of the Final Notice.
B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Community and its Local Main Street
Program acknowledges that MEDC's performance of its obligations under
this Agreement is dependent upon the MEDC's Executive Board of
Directors' continued approval of funding and/or the continued receipt of
state funding. In the event that the State Legislature, the State
Government or any State official, public body corporate, commission,
authority, body or employees, including the MEDC's Executive Board of
Directors, or the federal government (a) takes any legislative or
administrative action, which fails to provide, terminates or reduces the
funding or programmatic support necessary for this Agreement, or (b)
takes any legislative or administrative action, which is unrelated to the
source of funding or programmatic support for this Agreement, but which
affects the MEDC's ability to fund and administer the MEDC MMS
Program, and other MEDC programs, then the MEDC may cancel this
Agreement by providing notice to the Community and its Local Main
Street Program of cancellation. Cancellation may be made effective
immediately, upon delivery of notice to the Community or its Local Main
Street Program, or with such other time period as the MEDC, in its sole
discretion, deems reasonable.
C. In addition to the above, either party may terminate its obligations under
this Agreement without cause by giving the other party a 30-calendar day
written notice of such termination.
D. In the event that this Agreement is terminated, neither the MEDC nor the
Community or its Local Main Street Program shall have any further
obligation to perform under this Agreement. The Community and/or the
Local Main Street Program shall, unless otherwise directed by the MEDC
in writing, immediately take all reasonable steps to terminate operations
under this Agreement.
18. AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE THIS AGREEMENT. The signatories below
warrant that they are empowered to enter into this Agreement.
19. SEVERABILITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of a particular provision of
this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of this Agreement, provided that the principal intent of this Agreement
can be preserved.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this agreement.

RE: Amendment to Notice of Intent Resolution
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Previously the City Commission approved a notice of
intent resolution for up to $7.5 million bonds to be used for a new central fire station and
certain recreation projects. Staff is still refining the size and details of this bond issue,
however, it is clear that one of the main components originally contemplated (second ice
sheet) is not financially feasible. The purpose of this amendment is to add language to the
notice of intent to provide flexibility to allow proceeds from this bond issue to also be used for
water system improvements, in the event this becomes necessary. It appears that final
filtration plan improvement project costs will be higher than originally anticipated. If cash
generated from the new water rates and summer usage will be adequate to cover the
additional filtration plant project costs, it will not be necessary to borrow for this purpose. Any
amounts that are borrowed for water improvements would, of course, be repaid from the
water fund.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The immediate cost associated with this action is the cost of re-
publication in the Chronicle.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None at this time. The cost of the newspaper
publication can be covered within the current budget. Once bonds are sold, debt service will
be budgeted over the life of the bonds (20 years).
STAFF RECOMM EN DATION: Approval of the attached resolution.
COMMITIEE RECOMMENDATION: There is no committee recommendation for
this item.

Re: City of Muskegon
Dear Tim:
As per your request, please find herewith attached a form of notice of intent resolution
substantially identical to the notice of intent previously supplied, except that we have added
water supply improvements to the purpose section.
As in the past, I would ask that this resolution be reviewed and, if acceptable, presented
to the City Commission. I have assumed that the City will want to consider this at its first
regular meeting in August and have worded the resolution accordingly. If my assumption is
incorrect please advise, and I will change the resolution.
As you will recall a notice, which is found in the body of the resolution must be
published once in the Muskegon Chronicle as a display ad taking up not less than one-quarter
(Y,) of the page upon which it appears.
Please return to me three (3) certified copies of the resolution, and three (3) affidavits of
its publication. Thank you.
Very truly yours,

RE: Extension of Contract to Market Seaway Industrial Park
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
In 2004 C & A Commercial Real Estate was selected as the company to market
Seaway Industrial Park properties, as well as one property located on Getty Street. A
nine-month real estate agreement was originally signed by the Mayor, with a six-month
extension signed by the City Manager in December 2004. Staff feels that Commission
should review the performance of C & A Commercial Real Estate in order to determine
if there should be another extension of the agreement for a six-month time period.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The continued timely sale and development of these properties will bring more jobs to
Muskegon in the near future, thus additional income tax being generated.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
To approve the attached resolution and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign said
resolution.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
7/28/2005

Subject: Seaway Industrial Park/Getty Street- Progress Report
Date: Julv- 25. 2005
'
We are providing this second Progress Report as a benchmark for your
review, comment and consideration in extending our relationship and listing
for the next six months.
1. Attached is a copy of the 12/10/04 Progress Report to avoid restating
the initial startup activities and explanations of the various venues
used in the marketing program for these properties. A review of this
will help to understand the continued message being conveyed to
prospective buyers and brokers.
2. Marketing Venues- The Marketing Program continues to provide
local, state and international venues.
a. SWMRJC/WMLAR -The &.away .lDts b.avt' been posted (,\tJ the
Regional MLS since listing. The incentive of 55% commission
to other Brokers continues to be offered. Real Estate Agents
have accessed the listings 165 times and the public 10 times.
b. Loopnet- Loopnet is now accessible to 700,000 members. The
listings have attracted 424 7 "hits" and 310 emai1s have been
sent to prospects,
c. CIMLS- Continuous Posting- reporting of"hits" unavailable.
d. Dealmaking@property.com- New web site listing.
e. Cacommercialrealty.com- New web site listing for C&A
Commercial lists subject properties.
f. Michigan Site Network- Continuous Listing on site- reporting
of "bits" unavailable.
g. Business Direct Weekly/West Michigan Business Review-
Advertised since May 2004.
h. Homes Magazine- Advertised since May 2004.
1. Direct Mail- The enclosed letter was sent to 60 presidents/ceos
in western Michigan.
3. Clients/Prospects - We have worked directly with 17 prospects and
two Brokers which resulted in two sales- the Getty site and one lot in
Seaway. We are currently working with 7 prospects considered
"active". We also presented one offer which was rejected.
4. Muskegon Area First- Packets have been furnished without concrete
results to date.
We continue to believe that the Marketing Program we have instituted for
Seaway Industrial Park is comprehensive and although producing only two
sales to date, should be continued through extension of the listing agreement
for the next six months. We continue to search for additional web sites to
list our properties as the number of internet initiated searches for real estate
continues to rise and is estimated at between 50-60% today.
Although the direct mailings did not produce a response, we would
anticipate another mailing to 50-60 Michigan companies.
We look forward to discussions of this report and any recommended changes
City Staff believes beneficial to the program.
We can also report that we are experiencing greater activity by buyers and
sellers in the Muskegon Area in the past quarter as compared to the previous
year which translates to better economic conditions and a higher potential
for sales.
Sincerely,
Norman Cunningham Sr.

Subject: Seaway Drive Industrial Park/Getty Street Property- Progress Report
Date: 12110/04
Although we have maintained regular direct personal contact with Lona Anguilm as the
designated City Representative concerning the marketing, potential clients and sale of
lots in the Seaway Industrial Park since the contract was executed, we are providing this
Progress Report as a benchmark for your review, comment and consideration in
extending our relationship.
1. Listing Agreement- The City and C&A successfully negotiated the terms of the
Listing Agreement upon approval by the City Commission of the Proposal
submitted by C&A. The agreement provides for an incentive not usually found
in Listing Agreements to attract other Brokers - a sharing of any commissions on
a 55%/45% basis versus 50150 basis.
2. Listing Packet- A comprehensive Marketing Packet was prepared with
significant effort by City Staff and C&A to attract potential prospects. The
Investment Schedule, Sample Development Agreement, Site Plan and Alley
Utility Easement Vacation provide specific information to prospects before
negotiations begin. This has resulted in reducing time needed to arrive at
acceptable purchase agreements and as importantly good faith efforts between
C&A, City Staff and Prospects.
3. Marketing Venues- Overall C&A has exceeded the Marketing Program in its
proposal through expanded use of commercial advertising web sites as well as
continuous use of standard marketing programs.
a. SWMRIC- The Seaway Lots have been posted on the Regional MLS
since listing. This provides for access for all Brokers and contains the
incentive noted above.
b. Loopnet- Loopnet Posting is the national network for commercial brokers
and is accessible to over 600,000 members. To date the lots have attracted
almost 3000 "hits" and 95 emails have been sent to prospects.
c. CIMLS -The Seaway Lots have been posted on this site as well.
Unfortunately, although it is accessible by all brokers and prospects using
the web, it does not track users.
d. Homes Magazine- C&A is the only Commercial/Industrial Broker in West
Michigan utilizing this marketing venue. Over seven thousand are
distributed monthly in Muskegon, Newaygo, Oceana, and Ottawa
Counties. Seaway has been prominently displayed since listing.
e. BDW- Business Direct Weekly covers all 12 counties of West Michigan.
Ads have been placed monthly for Seaway.
f. Illinois and Indiana Commercial- Muskegon Seaway Lots/Renaissance
Zone status has been advertised to 40,000 and 26,000 recipients in Illinois
and Indiana respectively beginning November.
4. Clients/Prospects- Due to confidentiality requirements a list of all clients has
been verbally conveyed to City representatives. It totals thirteen (13) in all of
which six (6) are no longer active, three (3) are active and four (4) have resulted
in Sales Agreements of which two (2) have closed and two (2) are pending. More
detailed information has been discussed with City staff for each Client.
a. R Walker Construction Company purchased 1537 Getty for the listed price.
Fastenal Corporation will be moving their business operations to a new
facility and creating 10-12 jobs in the City.
b. Shultz Trucking purchased Lot # and has reestablished its business
operations in Seaway, from Muskegon Heights.
c. Ginman Tire has a purchase agreement for lot # 1. The offer has been
extended for financing reasons. As of 12/13/04 it appears this will close in
January.
As noted above a significant amount of time effort and money has been expended to
market, negotiate and close sales in Seaway Drive Industrial Park and the Getty Street
Lot. We have made significant progress in marketing not only these properties but also
the City of Muskegon. We would anticipate this effort and level of interest of prospects
to increase now that some of the initial "start up" issues have been successfully
accomplished.
We look forward to negotiating an extension to our current listing agreement, a
continuing good working relationship with the City and continuing what we believe is a
successful rewarding track record. Enclosed is the extension agreement for your review.
If you have any questions or need further infommtion, do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Norman Cunningham Sr.
