4. Chairman Orr presented a background of the report noting the following:

debated during the deliberation. The following comments/concerns were expressed
by the Council:

e. Need to identify specific site.
f. Omit 7' wainscote? To be bid as alternate.
g. Hanson building combined with existing shop?

as north lots, to Hanson Building to bring costs above $700,000.
i. Age of Hanson building and roof.
