Motion passed. <br /> APPOINTMENT: Tom Leone General Managing Partner, 99 Restaurant <br /> Mr. Tom Leone was in attendance for this scheduled appointment. <br /> Mr. Tom Leone, 99 Restaurant, was present to discuss their options in regards to <br /> putting a small addition on the side of the building.

But, because of the fact of the actual record of <br />
