2 98 <br /> <br />action until a future Council meeting. <br />Councilman Adams seconded the motion. <br /> <br /> TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1991 <br /> <br />~. <br />Councilman Adams then clarified the <br /> <br />previously-made motion as seconded by noting that the motion was made .to <br />determine, through a geo-technical study, if the existing land would be <br />suitable'for the City's use only.
