Lawing, City Manager} Mayor Anderson opened public comments for this public hearing. Dr. Aaron Howard, owner of adjacent property (former Lee County School Board building), requested a 60-day extension for the purchase and sale of the property. James Zboril requested a 60-day extension to allow an opportunity to collaborate with Joe Bonora and include Dr. Howard's property in the development of this project. Cynthia Roe requested a 60-day extension and expressed that the development of this property be a community-orientated project for all ages.

Mayor Anderson closed the public comments. Councilperson Burson inquired why the due diligence period is six months and the development approval period is eighteen months if the property is being sold as is. Joe Bonora, Catalyst Community Development replied that an active railroad spur has been discovered on the property which cannot be moved and there is a stormwater line that runs underneath the property that cannot be built upon which will need to be relocated or encapsulated. The purpose of the due diligence period is to find other possible issues that may arise before more planning is done. If they get the development approvals before 18 months, they will close earlier although there is a lot of other agencies involved besides the City during that time. Councilperson Burson felt that the $50,000.00 deposit is not a proper percentage for an $11 million dollar purchase and if extensions are requested that an additional deposit should be applied to the purchase price, belong to the City, and not be refundable. Mr. Bonora replied that he can negotiate that with the City Manager. Councilperson Watson asked about the storm drainage location and whether the project could be extended for 60 days as Dr. Howard requested in his public comments.
