Continue to go forward with all nine conditions and move with the caveat that if the State Surplus Bill is not successful, the City will make the pledge to the State Trustee for the $1.5 million dollars for fiscal year 2011, and with the understanding that all schools in Richmond are removed from school closure during the period of the Municipal Services Agreement
