Mayor Furlong: Okay. Then, without any additional comments there we’ll move forward with
our agenda.
CONSENT AGENDA:
Mayor Furlong: Staff did ask that we add one item to the agenda here regarding a name change,
is that correct Mr. Gerhardt?
Todd Gerhardt: That’s correct.
Mayor Furlong: Can you explain this?
Todd Gerhardt: It’s the Crossroads development contract. Kraus Anderson retail office
development down off of Lyman and 101. In the development contract I think it was Kraus
Anderson, LLC and they’re changing it to Kraus Anderson Incorporated, so just a minor change.
City Attorney requested that change so. Just a minor change.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Without objection we’ll add that as item 1(h). Okay. Is there any
desired members of the council or others present in the audience or council chambers here to

Paul Oehme: Thank you Mayor, City Council members. Tonight I’d like to just briefly review
with you the scope of the project. Laredo Drive area improvement projects. There’s been a

received from the project, for the project tonight, and property owners should be reminded that if
