The final matter on the Special Meeting Agenda involved a request
of Stevenson Design, Inc. to purchase a portion of the Town's property
located on U.S. 1 in Boca Raton, and making provision for the improve-
ment of the Town's remaining property in that location. Mayor Horton
gave a synopsis of the proceedings in the matter to date. The Town
Clerk then read a Resolution authorizing the sale of the property
after which MOTION was made by MAYOR HORTON/COMMISSIONER PAUL-to
adopt the Resolution. Discussion ensued regarding the provision
in the proposed contract requiring the purchaser's approval of the
improvements on the Town's remaining land, and a consensus received
between the Town and the purchaser to amend the contract to delete
this requirement. As no action could be taken prior to the amend-
ment of the contract being made, the Special Meeting was recessed
at 2:00 p.m. until 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, December 6, 1983.
