                     SECTION 2.  The executive is authorized to convey the property located at 18005 107th Ave SW, Vashon, Washington to Friends of Mukai consistent with a purchase and

sale agreement substantially in the form of Attachment A to this ordinance and to take all actions necessary to implement the terms of the purchase and sale agreement.
