Commissioner Becht inquired if the tenant is leaving after 90 days or provide a month to month lease. Nicholas Mimms, City Manager, stated that it would be best to provide a notice to tenant to make arrangements for vacating property once there is a formal offer on the property. Further discussion included the tenant wanting to pursue grant opportunities for preservation purposes, insurance policy updates and follow up lease items and scheduling an environmental inspection.
