He further said that 2B cannot be approved 24 <br />because the City needs to sign off on any application as the property owner. 25 <br /> 26 <br />City Attorney Riggs indicated that if there is no lease then this cannot move forward and, if 27 <br />Council is not supporting that, there is no need to move forward. 28 <br /> 29 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Marty.
