Katie Humphries noted that Resolution 90-48 would authorize the transfer of $580, 00.00 from the Liability Insurance Premium Reserve Fund to the Cumulative Capital Improvement Fund for the purchase of approximately seven (7) acres of land. The purchase would be on a lease purchase basis with $167,00.00 being paid per year for all improvements and the purchase over a ten year period at an approximate 8% interest rate.

It was also noted that from this fund, the Century Center lease payments are made which will be paid off in the year 2002. It was also noted that $102,000. 00 was paid annually from this fund for the purchase of space within the County City Building for the City.
