Councilor Battreall clarified the money to pay for the land acquisitions was from the General
Fund. Councilor Kirby and Clerk-Treasurer Cordray discussed the closings on the properties mad
the appropriate way to handle the closings. Councilors stated that no payments shall be made
from the General Fund for land acquisition unless approved in advance by the council.
