Bond for the Jesup's Landing property which as you know, some initial infrastructure
work was done -there were no units that were built on the Jesup's Landing site on
Orange Avenue. At this time, I think it would be appropriate to also make a claim on that
Bond similar to what we did with the Jesup's Reserve site and put that issue on the table
with the Surety as well. So, I'm asking for the Commission's consent to go ahead and
make that formal demand in writing, on that Surety."
