Votes

Direct the city manager to negotiate a loan agreement with Richard Poe to: (1) reduce his bid by $600,000; (2) if the cubicles turn out to cost $1,012,545 (not 400,000) Mr. Poe was responsible for the difference; (3) change the City of Richmond loan from being probably $400,000 (and possibly $1,012,545) to being definitely $1,012,545
