Mr. Sheldon district It's actually a limited partnership as we progressed in those conversations Mr. Detrick gave the indication that he would appreciate what we're trying to accomplish in Sheboygan with our bid master plan And was also understanding the way the market was and was willing to entertain a sale of the property at a price That he that was that we felt was appropriate given the circumstances And I'm happy so happy to find that we have now been able to accomplish that and the common counsel has been able to Come to tonight where they can vote on that motion This result would not exist without a private public cooperation And in that regard a number of the city officials were very active in helping Us personnel from the bid and the city reached this point and I'd like to highlight the efforts of council president Don Hammond mayor Mike van der steen city administrator Jim Amodio and director city development Chad Peleshev for working together To some extent behind the scenes To make this become a realism When it became clear that we actually could accomplish this sale that the seller was actually willing to sell at a price which we Were hoping in our wildest dreams could be the case and has now come to be the case we Knew that we had a partner in the city to make that happen as we look as we move forward We know that this purchase is not final and legally it's not final There's some things to work out But we're very confident that it's going to be final that we'll get through those and that we have the first step of a real Renaissance that's going to happen in the Harbor Center business improvement district.
