(3) The City Attorney further stated, "Having received no further submissions, I declare the bidding on the City's lease of land adjacent to the waste-to-energy facility on Eisenhower Avenue to be closed, and it is now proper to hear a motion that Council receives the bid that Ogden Martin has submitted."
