Mr. Blanske had quoted a <br /> tentative price of $80 ,000 .. <br /> Mayor.

Mr- Nelson contacted the owner, who <br /> indicated .an interest .in selling this property.. The owner was <br /> to contact Mr-. Nelson for further discussion, but had not <br /> done so yet. <br /> Councilman Ranallo suggested the Liquor Manager and the Acting City <br /> Manager pursue possible purchase of the Fas. Gas property. The rest <br /> of the Councilmembers appeared .to .be in agreement with this suggestion. <br /> Councilman Ranallo also suggested the Liquor Manager .and Acting City <br /> Manager .check .into the possibility of -purchasing the Purity Store <br /> which .is immediately to the east of the Fas Gas property. This <br /> • suggestion also appeared to meet with approval with the other Council- <br /> members. <br />
