The council was advised that the city staff is working on capital improvement budget projections for the liquor store operations, but that the market feasibility study by the city planning consultant would be helpful to prepare complete forecasts and recommendations. In addition it was pointed out that the need to possibly move quickly on securing a site for a larger off-sale store near Highway 50 and I-35 is growing. It was recommended that the council at least authorize discussions with the developer for the SouthFork Center in an effort to learn what the costs may be to lease a new off-sale liquor store facility possibly at the corner of 176th Street and Highway 50 before the location is lost to other business ventures. 86.70 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Sindt to approve and authorize discussions between the city staff and the developer for SouthFork Center for a possible lease at the corner of 176th Street and Highway 50.
