The Council reconvened into regular session at 8:32 p.m. The City Administrator reported that during the closed session the Council discussed the potential purchase of 477 Little Canada Road as it related to the City's ownership of 167 South Owasso Blvd. and the potential purchase of additional properties adjacent to 167 South Owasso Blvd. After consideration of the issues, it was the Council's consensus to not make an offer to purchase 477 Little Canada Road due to land use concerns relative to a Public Works site on this property as well as concerns regarding the financial feasibility of converting the space for use by Public Works. The City Administrator reported that he would inform the property owner of this consensus, and indicated that if conditions change, the City may be willing to consider the purchase of this site for future economic development purposes.
