to Toscana Corp. at a bid price of $160,500.

recommendations of the committee, the Commission unanimously VOTED to: (1) contract with
Brown for master planning services at a price not to exceed $15,000; and (2) authorize the capital
improvements committee, if needs arise, to approve up to $3,000 of additional work by Brown,
