MINUTES <br /> CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br /> (Corrt~d,) <br /> <br /> February 21, 1980 <br /> Old Little Mayor Hanson reported that the City has received a letter from Paul <br /> Canada Borg of the Roseville Area School District which states that the <br /> School School District will sell the Old Little Canada School Building to <br /> Building the City for a price of $250,000.00. This price includes the building <br /> and three acres of property. The City's occupancy date could be <br /> September 1, 19II0. <br /> Councilwoman Scalze stated that the School Board originally said that <br /> they were interested in land value only for the sale of the Old Little <br /> Canada School. The $250,000 is land value plus building value. <br /> Councilman DeBace questioned if there was enough interest in the <br /> building for the City to purchase it. <br /> Fahey suggested that the City hire its own appraiser and see what <br /> kind of a price he would come up with. <br /> Councilwoman Scalze stated that there are community block grant funds <br /> available that could help purchase this building for the City. She <br /> feels that the City should take advantage of these funds. <br /> Councilman DeBace suggested that the Council meet with the School <br /> Board to see if the $250,000 is a firm price. <br /> Councilman Nadeau suggested that the City put the purchase of this <br /> building on a referendum. Fahey stated that the City could not wait <br /> that long to act. <br /> Councilman Nadeau suggested that just Mayor Hanson meet with Mr. 6org <br /> to see how firm the School Board is on the $250,000. DeBace stated <br /> that after that meeting the City could get its own appraiser to give <br /> the City a price on the property. Fahey suggested that Mr. Hanson <br /> tell Mr. Borg that 'the $250,000 is too high. <br /> Attorney Parks suggested that the Council get going on this right away. <br /> Once the School Board knows the City is interested, it won't talk to <br /> any one else about the property. <br /> Manson stated that he would have an informal meeting with Borg right <br /> away. Fahey also suggested that Mr. Manson ask Mr. Borg what the <br /> $250,000 is based on. <br /> Hanson stated that he would report to the Council the results of his <br /> meeting with Mr. Borg at the March ~4, 1980 special Council meeting. <br /> Page -8- <br /> <br />
