The two (2) resolutions before the EDA both relate to the cleanup and development of the Joslyn

Council.
Both grants are necessary to facilitate the reuse of the Joslyn site. The estimate for cleaning up the
site is approximately $9,000,000. Without these grants it is not likely that the reuse of the site will
go forward.
