Howard: <br /> <br />much alternative <br />purchasing it. <br /> <br />Is that a motion? <br /> <br />to the City <br /> <br />Mayer: I will put it in the form of a <br /> motion. <br /> <br />Davidson: <br /> <br />What you would actually move is that <br />the City enter negotiations. <br /> <br />Mayer: Right. <br /> <br />Howard explained that the reason he seconded it was because he and <br />his children personally use that bike trail and it is heavily, <br />heavily used. He feels that the public safety cannot be ignored, <br />although the City may end up paying substantial sums for this <br />property.
