Comment: St. Patrick Catholic Church is relocating and constructing a new church.
This resolution contemplates that the City will purchase the property upon which the
Parish Hall and parking lot are currently located for $3,050,000. It is intended that this
land will be used for the construction of a City multi-use parking facility sometime after
