The Enumclaw City Council is expected to continue discussions Monday night revolving around Mayor Liz Reynolds’ proposal that the city purchase the vacant property at the corner of Cole Street and Myrtle Avenue.

City administration views the lot as a downtown park. When the item arose at the last council meeting, several questioned the $295,000 price tag. A vote on the purchase ended with a 3-3 deadlock.
