MINUTES CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 11, 2004 there are other options including acquisition of vacant land in the area by non-voluntary sale, noting that the Schrier piece is still undeveloped. Montour noted the potential for acquisition of a site in Ryan Industrial Park. Fahey again stressed that all options should be considered, including the Noel Drive property. Fahey felt the matter should be considered by the full Council at its March 10`x' meeting. Anderson noted that the evaluation should include the lost revenue to the City if the Noel Drive property is not sold to the Watershed. The City Administrator asked if the Council wanted to have an appraisal done on the Noel Drive property. Anderson felt that information would be important and noted that the economic analysis should include the donation of the garage space to the City by Family Academy, the sale of The existing Public Works garage, the sale of the County Road B property, and the sale of the Noel Drive property. Fahey noted that the economic analysis should also consider the potential for additional development of the Frattalone site assuming limited outdoor storage, the tax revenue to the City if the Frattalone property is sold for $2.3 million, as well as the estimated cost of acquiring the Schrier property. Fahey recommended that the City Administrator inform the Watershed that the City is not ready to move forward on the sale of the Noel Drive property at this time. Fahey also felt that the City should not proceed with an appraisal of this property at this time given the potential for the City to retain it as a Public Works site. Anderson stated that he would not support a Public Works use of the Noel Drive property, and felt that the Watershed's use was more appropriate for the site.
