Specifically, properties south of 145' Street <br />could not be considered according to the resolution adopted by the Council. City staff recommended <br />the Council direct staff to contact and send a letter to homeowner thanking her for the opportunity, but <br />respectfully decline due to its location and also because the City does not have the additional funds to <br />purchase it. <br />Miron made motion, Petryk seconded, directing staff to send a letter to homeowner thanking her for <br />the opportunity, but respectfully decline its purchase due to its location, and also because the City does <br />not have the additional funds to purchase it. <br />All aye.
