Intergovernmental Economic Development Agreement with the Downtown Development 
Authority. The bod will allow the city to proceed with the purchase and future development 
plans for the site. There was discussion about potential uses for the site, including a

previous estimates. The project includes full-width mill and overlay, soil cement, and 
reclamation for structural failures. Curb repair is not included in this.  
  
ATH2025-069: Joe Bennett, City Administrator, stated that the City has completed several
