IJ E The City Manager submitted the following letter. "Foster and Kleiser have a five-year lease on the O'Dea property fronting on the Bayshore Highway and have two signs erected within the line of the proposed twenty -five -acre pur- chase by the city for a recreation park. One of the existing signs on the west side of the highway is inside the lines of the recent annexation. Foster and Kleiser propose to release the portion pur- chased by the city from their lease provided the city will allow the present sign to be moved and rebuilt outside the lines of the recreation park on the O'Dea property. I would recommend that such an agreement be approved." On motion of Councilman McNulty, seconded by Councilman Fletcher, the Council concurred in his recommendation and approved the agreement.
