Ayes (5). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. COMMISSION The City Administrator reported that the current practice has been that INTERVIEW commission applicants are interviewed by the Parks & Recreation PROCESS Commission Chair and Parks & Recreation Director for that particular commission and the Planning Commission Chair and City Administrator for that commission. The City Council then makes commission appointments based on recommendations received from those conducting the interviews. The Administrator reported that the current process could continue, or the City Council could conduct the interviews. Blesener suggested that rather than the entire Council, two Council representatives, along with the Chair or Vice Chair of the respective commission, conduct the interviews making a recommendation to the entire Council for appointment. It was the consensus of the Council that Mayor Blesener and Council Member McGraw will conduct commission applicant interviews, then making appointment recommendations to the entire City Council. DONOVAN The City Administrator reported that Donovan Construction has obtained CONSTRUCTION an appraisal of their property, with that appraisal amount corning in lower UPDATE than the County market value. He noted that the County market value was used as the basis of the City's offer to purchase the Donovan property. The Administrator reported that the purchase is somewhat complicated in that there is a cell tower on this property and an income stream to Donovan Construction for the cell tower lease. The Administrator reported that Donovan Construction has informed the City that they have received an offer for the purchase of the cell tower lease at a significant price. Donovan has provided the City with a copy of that offer. The offer amount is greater than the income stream generated by the current lease. The lease has approximately 8 years to run including one renewal option. The Administrator reported that there are companies that will review tower leases to determine their value. The Administrator indicated that as part of his research of this issue, he has identified a company that will do this for the City at a cost of $2,000. 13
