we'll discuss these items in executive session, but will return to open court before taking any action.
We announced beginning with a 1, the matter involving whether to authorize the director of facilities to enter into short-term license agreements for various parties to use county owned property at 1310 f.m.
1626, otherwise known as the community center.
>> I move that we direct legal to draft a temporary license agreement to be used for each of those special events, prior to the termination of the license of this property and that are on the calendar through June 15th.
that we authorize facilities management to execute those temporary license agreements and also authorize facilities management in coordination with the precinct 3 Commissioner to charge each licensee a minimum fee that is sufficient to cover the basic expenses incurred by the county for that event.
>> second.
>> discussion?
Commissioner Gomez had to run to another commitment.
all in favor?
that passes by unanimous vote.
we did not discuss 19 and 20 as we indicated before we went into executive session.
21 we did discuss at length.
that's the matter involving the property at 700 lavaca street.
and I don't think we need to take any action today.
we did get the updates.
we probably ought to get additional updates next week so we will have it on the agenda just in case we need it.
is that okay?
