John Hart, Project Manager was present to address the real estate matters that
were added to the agenda. Mr. Hart explained this real estate transaction has been in

transaction is for 39 North Second Street which is the Dorsett Law Firm property. The
th
purchase price is $209,950 and the intent is to settle by September 30. This action
th
also involves a lease back to Ms. Dorsett effective September 30 for $1,000 a month
and she will be responsible for paying all utilities and the day to day routine
through September 2020. He recommends moving forward with purchase and lease of
this property. Chairman Keller said they have been discussing this in executive session
for several months. Commissioner Thomas said that this area is a major way out of our
lot and even though nothing bad has happened, in his opinion this needs to happen due
to safety. There is a building right up to the sidewalk and a car needs to pull way up in
order to see to pull out. He appreciates Mr. Hart bringing this to fruition. Commissioner
Ziobrowski said in terms of the facility project, this will help with the project. He said to
let the records show discussions with Ms. Dorsett preceded consideration of the facilities
project, as we purchased a number of properties on this block prior to considering the
facilities project. Our aim was to allow future commissioners flexibility whether this facility
project happened or not. He is pleased an agreement was reached with Ms. Dorsett.
