0 7 <br /> 1 *he and several Councilmembers- had been authorized to. negotiate <br /> 2 - with the School Board' s representatives;. <br /> 3 *the City-had come- up with a package- which was basically what the <br /> 4 school wanted at that- time, and which the City agreed to, under <br /> 5 which the City would build a parking lot and play ground for, the <br /> 6 :school and would maintain the grounds around the school for -the <br /> 7 next two years, which would cost between $80 ,000 and $90 ,000 to . <br /> 8 do; <br /> 9 *some time later, the School Board indicated they needed an. ap- <br /> 10 praisal made of the building -and had a study made of what. it would <br /> 11 cost them to. move out- of Parkview which turned out to be $273 , 000 <br /> 12 of which the School District only has about $20_,000 each .for the <br /> 13 next two years; <br /> 14 *the School District said they were willing to pay about $60 ,000 <br /> 15 of the moving costs, which put the school. and the City about. . <br /> 16 $120,000 apart. <br /> 17 The School' s appraisal indicated the land was worth about $240.,000. and <br /> 18 the building itself about $70 ,000. The School District study had <br /> 19 suggested a desirable use of the property would' be to demolish the <br /> W0 building and= erect single family homes on the site and they appear to be <br /> 21 confsidering doing that as one - of their options. <br /> 22 Mr. Childs- indicated the City had begun to question whether it would be <br /> 23 worth the City' s while to spend $200 , 000 for the building and then <br /> 24 another- $200-250,000 to convert a portion of the building for the Fire <br /> 25 Department and to make the other improvements the City would want to, <br /> 26 including putting on a new roof and making the necessary changes to the . <br /> 27 heating system.
