Thank you, Judy. Diane Voss, City Clerk/Records Man Hi Diane, I chose not to put this in recordable format as my understanding was that it is pretty short term. My impression is that they (the developer) is going to be expediting this relocation as it is as the front end of the project that they have on the front burner. Since it will not be something to be done at some undetermined time far in the future, I don't think it needs to be recorded. Judy K.
