CITIZEN COMMENTS Tom Peters, 7025 Maryland Ave Mr. Peters thanked Ms. Riganti for updating the minutes he spoke on at the previous Council meeting. He said he still has two questions remaining on this bill: does any other TIF Commissions exist at this time including the Kingsland TIF and it was his understanding that things had to be rolled over from one TIF Commission to another, so was unresolved on the dissolving of the TIF Commission with these details still out there. Mr. Crow said he had asked at the last Council meeting for a list of how many pieces of property the City has purchased and the cost for each and before a vote is taken, he would like to have an answer to his question and with the other questions Dr. Peter’s asked, he felt this bill should be delayed. Ms. Ricci stated that Council has not considered anything else since the Economic Retail Sales Board last year where all that information was provided which she thought Mr. Crow was at. She asked Mr. Walker if there was anything else purchased by the City since that meeting. Mr. Walker said he did not think the City purchased any property since that meeting but would provide the information requested by Mr. Crow.
