The Council should select a budget workshop meeting to allow staff to provide the latest revenue projections, along with the recommendations from City Council as to any changes for the final adoption of the budget in December. Leroux made motion, Petryk seconded, to schedule a 2001 budget workshop for November 20, 2000, at 6:00 pm. All aye. Motion Carried. APPROVAL OF PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR HOUSE (a, 14593 FOREST BLVD.

City staff met with the oldest brother, and along with the City Attorney's office, negotiated a Purchase Agreement for the home and property whereby the three children will continue to live in the home and rent from the City. Barnes made motion, Leroux seconded, to approve the Purchase Agreement for the house at 14593 Forest Blvd., at a cost of $115,000, and authorize staff to proceed with a closing for the property, and enter into a Lease Agreement with the three children who will then rent from the City. All aye. Motion Carried. REQUEST TO REMOVE STOP SIGN Q) HADLEY AVENUE AND HADLEY CIRCLE Bob Bilotta, property owner of the landscape business called The Garden, contacted the City with a request to remove the stop sign on Hadley Avenue. Mr. Bilotta specifically requested that the City remove the sign primarily because it is a hindrance to the visitors who frequent The Garden over a base period of 90 days a year. Stoltzman made motion, Leroux seconded, to consider removal of the stop sign on Hadley Avenue, and reinstall it at the intersection on Hadley Circle for the three residences located on that street, only if Mr. Bilotta assists the City with a remedy for vehicular speeding out of the Gardens. This includes his visitors and employees. All aye. Motion Carried.
