Oates stated this was an amendment with the purpose of terminating the lease. The city
would pay for the full term of the lease through December, but effective October 15, 2009, the city
would be able to turn the building back over to the Women's Division. Oates felt it was not likely
anyone would be able to lease this building, and he would push hard for restoration or demolition of
the building. He felt it was a fair agreement before the council.
Motion Passed Unanimous
