the cancellation process for them needs to begin. He informed the Council that if the City does begin the
purchasing process by taking action, the owner of the land will begin the cancellation process with Eagle Crest.

organizations are looking for the City to purchase the land. He noted that the organizations are willing to develop
the land after it is purchasaed. Stover stated that she is concerned about the price of this land for the City.
