Mayor Nicholes called the meeting to order at 4:01 p.m. (NOTE: This meeting has been tape-recorded and will remain on file in the office of the City Clerk for four years for public examination.)

Terry Marren recommended Council accept the unsolicited offer by Dagrow Truss, Inc. to lease and purchase certain city-owned real property subject to a written agreement returning to the City Council for approval setting forth the consideration and performance conditions for this lease and sale, and subject to all staff recommendations. Councilmember Fisher asked Guy Allred with Dagrow Truss, Inc. what the average wages would be and how many local jobs would be created. Mr. Allred said $14.00 per hour and 10 jobs. Councilmember Fisher asked if Mr. Allred would hire exclusively local workers. Mr. Allred said he would as much as he could.

Councilmember Fairchild asked Mr. Marren if the business failed would the land and building revert back to the City. Mr. Marren said it would. Councilmember Smith asked if the building was in good shape. Mr. Allred said the building is in perfect condition. Chris Hartman asked Mr. Bell if the use of the land would impact the wash. Mr. Bell said the use of the land probably won’t impact the wash. Mr. Montgomery indicate that the building would be set back far enough to allow a possible future road going north along the wash.

Councilmember Fisher made a motion to accept the unsolicited offer by Dagrow Truss, Inc. to lease approximately 7 acres of City-owned real property located north of the Mesquite City shop and to purchase 15 acres of City-owned real property located in the Mesquite Technology and Commerce Center, subject to all staff recommendations; seconded by Councilmember Ruelas and passed unanimously.
