agreement, would we be able to pull this out to allow the developer to sell that piece of
property. Attorney Guthrie said if the property came under the City's ownership, then the
City would control it for the purposes of this use. Attorney Guthrie said that when he
originally discussed this, he said he didn't realize that there was a realtor involved and
said he would like to change the part that relates to a realtor and designate that a realtor is
involved and that the seller is responsible for the commission, to clarify that and also
stated that he recommends that the arbitration is deleted and use a mediation concept (on
the fourth page).
