He indicated that access and egress would be addressed through the permitting process. <br /> <br />Councilor Zelenka determined from City Manager Ruiz that the $715,000 realized by the sale would be <br />directed to the General Fund and appropriated by the council for public purposes at some future point. <br /> <br />Responding to a question from Mayor Piercy, Mr. Braud indicated the selling price reflected the current <br />real estate market. <br /> <br />Councilor Brown, seconded by Councilor Farr, moved to authorize the City Manager to <br />sell the Franklin Boulevard surplus property to Thomas Fox Properties, LLC consistent <br />with the terms outlined in the Agenda Item Summary.
