RE:

June 13 , 2006 Agenda Item

 

Please include the following item on the City Commission consent agenda for consideration at the June 13, 2006 meeting:

Project History.  The Solid Waste Annex South, known as SWAN, is located at 320 Industrial Lane. The building was originally the C. B. W. Building. The building still has the original lighting and ceiling from when it was a manufacturing plant. When the building was purchased from the former owners, they tried to cover up the dirt and dust from the plant. The walls, ceiling grid and tiles were all spray painted white. Other renovations have been made over the years, such as painting the walls, and floor covering.
