Vice Chairman Blood and Commissioner Deithloff stated that the board is not looking at dollar figures, rather looking for a date certain. The board discussed the time period to consider for amortization. The board discussed a 27-year period versus a 28-year period. Eddie Price stated that J.R Kmball did not discuss the five period demolition period.Tony May stated that he thought the city asked J.R.
