1. Motion Re: Negotiations for Purchase of Land for Sewer
Plant Expansion
Mr. Don Arabian addressed the City Council on the 28 acres of
land adjacent to the Wastewater Treatment Plant and suggested
that the City authorize him, or another individual, to represent
the City in negotiations on the purchase of the property. He
explained that the price for the entire 28 acre parcel was
$1, 105, 000, and would require $1, 000 of earnest money, which the
City would loose if the purchase did not materialize.
Mr. Woodman advised that the City should not enter into the
agreement prepared by FDIC because it does not warrant the
property. It was further pointed out that the title search
should be complete prior to any commitment to purchase. Mr.
Kedzierski voiced concern about where the City would get the
money for the purchase, if it desired to proceed.
Discussion was held on the legality of entering into an
agreement to purchase, prior to the final engineering design on
the Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion being accepted by the
City. Discussion continued on condemnation of the property.
Mayor Salamone voiced the opinion that Mr. Arabian was rushing
the Council to make a decision, prior to them having all the
facts. Mr. Woodman advised that if any formal action was going
to be taken by the Council, it should be placed on the agenda of
a regularly scheduled meeting.
It was the consensus of Council not to make a decision on this
matter until further information was received.
There being no further business, the Special Meeting was
adjourned at 5: 55 P.M.
Approved this 7th day of January , 1992.
