At the Mayor's request, the City Administrator presented a brief description of the proposed plan, including goals and objectives, and the three options from which an analysis had been performed. Judd Jackson, an owner of one of the properties being considered for expansion in the Industrial Park, informed the Council that their attorney had been out of town, and that they would be responding to the City's proposal for the development of their property in the near future.
