SUMMARY:
We are in negotiations with the city's tenant in the Price Center Building, Advanced Call Center Technologies (ACT), over a disagreement regarding the Government Property Lease Excise Tax (GPLET).

As of the writing of this Agenda Item, the City Attorney along with Outside Counsel Bill Sims who is an expert in commercial contracts is close to resolving the matter.
