There were irregularities noted in the petition, namely, the signing of one business partner for the other business partners without showing proof of power of attorney, and a priest signing on behalf of a church.

Some of the options they reviewed were leasing, remodeling, purchasing and building. Each councilperson was given a detailed analysis of expenses for the present lease, Brookfield II Condo, Brookfield III and building. After their review they suggested to purchase the Brookfield II Condo rather than lease. The Council will review all of these options presented by the committee and make its decision in late 1985 or early 1986. The Council commended the committee for the work and effort that was put into this study.
