house to be used at the City's Purina Dnve barge docking facility The current scale on site was purchased from the former facility
lessee for $35,000 in July of 2011 This proposed project provides for the construction of a new scale house alongside the
recently - purchased scale The current scale house on site is still owned by the former tenant, who will remove it in the near future
