MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />SEPTII~SBER 13, 1995 <br />opportunity for long-term planning. The Administrator <br />noted the recommendation that staff schedule a meeting <br />with the County reqarding Little Canada Road. <br />The next implementation step is "Acquire property <br />needed to achieve objectives of the Development Guide". <br />Fahey reviewed the action steps, pointing out that one <br />involves staff to identify parcels for acquisition and <br />determine strategies for each. <br />The Administrator suggested that the intent is to keep <br />moving forward toward RFP's for selected sites.
