Ms. Maradik noted it should be awarded subject to funding. - Request to Advertise for Bids — Fat Daddy's Building Demolition Mr. Silveus noted this building is becoming dangerous and a source of safety concerns so they have decided to demolish it after attempts at development failed. - Professional Services Agreement — Beam, Longest, and Neff LLC Mr. Gilot suggested to Mr. Silveus they should have a public meeting on this pedestrian bridge at Leeper Park, noting there has been some neighborhood resistance in his past experience. Mr. Horvath stated that part won't happen in this agreement, this is more of a feasibility study.
